“Now, Sir, I know you were stabbed but did you ever think to angle your body away from the knife? Perhaps mashing your ribs together so the blade couldn’t jam into your heart?”

This ignited a pretty big argument last time I brought this up in a Beltre related article, but he should be a first ballot HOFer. He won’t, it will probably take him a few years, but if voters don’t think he’s a HOF caliber play, they should lose their voting privileges. Not to mention, he’s still playing baseball at…

Believe it or not, attempting suicide is prohibited in the U.S. military’s uniform code of justice. It’s been that way since WWII. As I understand it, attempting suicide is considered a form of “self-injury” (akin to shooting yourself in the foot to get out of service) that is detrimental to unit cohesion, force…

Actually lots of people are going to prison for free healthcare, that’s obviously an indictment of our health system in general, but we’re providing the incentives with things like this.

It’s forbidden under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. She doesn’t belong to herself while she belongs to the US Army, so they have the authority to treat it as if she was attempting to murder one of their soldiers.

Uh, you’re welcome? I am genuinely curious about how Healthcare is handled in prison but thanks for letting me know I helped you out!

There is already a standard set for civilian prisons:

Yes, that is in fact how it works. Prisoners don’t have the right to assembly, the right to bear arms, the right vote, etc...the Supreme Court has ruled that those rights are suspended due to the actions of the individual.

What’s to stop the next NCO who wants surgery from committing a crime, being sent to prison and demanding the same treatment? The current statute that maintains prisoners transition at the moment of their conviction is an adequate compromise that doesn’t incentivize criminal behavior.

I’m not opposed to the VA paying for the surgery for vets or even active service members. I’m opposed to paying for it for a criminal who didn’t even start her transition until after her conviction.

No, it’s about her crimes. That’s why it’s a military prison. She could’ve left the military and gotten the surgery, instead she chose to stay a man, stay in the military, commit several crimes, and then demand the government cover the cost of her transition which she wasn’t willing to do herself when she was free to…

She clearly didn’t give a flying fuck about serving in the military now did she?

She was free to not commit the crime and have the surgery all on her own at any time she chose to.

Ah... low birth rates are not a win for advanced economies. Young people work harder for less money, and require less health care. Run below replacement for too long, and you end up with an overabundance of older sicker people with obsolete skill sets and difficulty learning more useful ones.

Italian couples aren’t having children because they’re not having sex or because they don’t want to – it’s because the government provides very little support for families with children and because the main source of childcare in Italy is family.

“i was groomed at 17 (oh you’re so mature for your age blah blah blah) by a 29 yr old. i had no fucking clue what i was doing. he just wanted someone easy to control.”

teens should stick to fucking teens their own age and legal adults should just stay the fuck away. no sane 23 yr old would want to bang a 15 yr old (the most annoying age in the world) unless they are specifically into that shit.

“Zhao then gives advice to [her] on grooming her genital area”
FFS!

I came here because of that hairdo, not the heinous crime he’s allegedly committed.
