So you’re saying the cops shouldn’t spray high school kids with pepper spray when there are other people in the world that deserve it more?

Not a single thing excessive about this. If your team can’t behave in a civilized manner then you don’t get to complain when you are treated like a mob. Good for the 1 or 2 cops controlling the 30-40 people here.

The first one combines two of my least favorite people in the world: people who invite parents to their wedding and tell them not to bring their kids

On the contrary, many of my colleagues are either museum curators or work in historic homes. They say children, even well-intentioned, well-parented children, do horrifying things every single day. They don’t have the same sense of value that we do when it comes to architectural spaces or precious objects. They climb…

It’s advice in the sense of “here are your (utterly obvious) options.”

Waaaaait, you have Candy Land at four? That’s absurd.

I generally agree, but I find it rather strange that the letter never once mentions how his/her fiancée feels about this situation considering that this is her sister. We know the LW feels the sister is a user and a nightmare and would rather she not come at all if she insists on bringing her children with her, but…

Old person rant: when my brothers and I were children (up the age of 12 or so), we didn’t go to any effing weddings except when I was a flower girl and I certainly didn’t stay the entire reception. In my mind, allowing children at weddings is an ultimate act of mercy and angelic kindness on the part of the bride and…

I think that last LW needs to chill out a bit. Of course friendships change and may taper off as your life changes and you lose the things you had in common, like work. You don’t have to announce it and demand someone acknowledge and clarify the new status immediately after a change. I mean, the thing where they had…

This list is invalidated by Monopoly being in the top 6.

I was wondering that myself. I can understand why the fiancee might not want to stir the turd with her sister, but come on, it’s the responsibility of the person with the shitty relative to step up and deal with it. If they don’t want to, well...red flag. I mean, if my partner and I ever make it legal, I’m not going…

Nah, you don’t actually have to invite her, and the proof is right there in her ‘We’ll see about that’ response. You invite people to your wedding who are there to support you, on your day, as you embark upon the wonderful experience of having your relationship legally and religiously authorized and recognized. Her…

4. Candyland

Sorry! is underrated here. I’ve literally seen relationships on the brink of destruction because of that game.

Every Thursday night game is, I don’t know why anyone watches them anymore.

Dalton is basically Schaub 2.0 now. I can’t even begin to understand it. He has Green and LaFell and Eifert and Mixon and he can’t get it to any of them when he needs to.

Look, the school either has a policy in place, to deny a person, who has been allowed to attend the school, participation in intercollegiate sports, based on bad acts prior to attendence, or it has no such policy, and is just making this up as it goes along. It it’s the latter, this isn’t going to stand, and it…

You’re not satisfied with the courts so you want to impose your own justice? You don’t get to make that decision.

A lot of things look wrong about this story. Aren’t juvenile court records sealed? In any case, he was apparently convicted, served his time, so why can’t he pursue his life? The school accepted him, presumably knowing that his goal was not to read Shakespeare, but to play football. It seems duplicitous of the school…

Not gonna defend a rapist, but Youngstown fucked up big by admitting him in the first place. It wasn’t some secret they just found out about after they let him on the team. The fact that the school thinks they can admit a player and take away a year of eligibility simply because they feel like it after the fact is…
