If it’s not a clump of cells in your body- it doesn’t really matter how you feel.

It doesn’t raise concerns that are remotely as troubling as telling the woman she can’t.

I’m sorry, are you the pregnant woman in question? If not, then it doesn’t matter what you think. End of story.

Ummmm, what?

Also stop saying females.

The fuck did I just read

Female police cadet here. I think it’s very important that we have diverse police departments, women and minorities included. Do we have a lot of work to do to improve our current departments? Yes. But we can do this!

Hunh?

It is not a “white American” thing to say. It’s a stupid asshole thing to say. Just because something doesn’t affect a person the way it may affect another person, it doesn’t mean they can’t see why it’s wrong, and that includes a fair chunk of white Americans.

I completely understand why the air marshall did it, but if someone grabbed my cat’s carrier from me without my permission, this woman’s freakout would look like transcendental meditation compared to mine.

I’m sympathetic to the notion of lost youth and potential, but I don’t think (if a judge and jury determines beyond a reasonable doubt) that a long sentence is any more cruel and unusual than pretending a girl is your friend, luring her away and stabbing her 19 times and leaving her to die.

In other words, in a dueling…

Because it’s a trial not a conviction (the due process bit of the Constitution). If she can prove she’s mentally ill to the point she’s not culpable, then she won’t be sent to jail but will be cared for.

Under juvenile law they’re pretty much free and clear in 3 years, with little or no accountability or after care.…

This shit is why everyone thinks us atheists are assholes.

Holy shit, NO. I am a mother of many, and THATZ NOT OK. Jesus, people.

The two women wanted me to just GIVE THEM to the kid. Like, to stop the crying and because they’re just charms and all. The mother was asking out of curiosity and once I ballparked the price of those two she started doing the math and wanted to know how much I’d spent on allllllll of them out of morbid curiosity I…

I have a child, and sometimes he wants something someone else has, and I tell him no. It’s not that hard. And on the (thankfully rare) occasions that he throws a fit about it. I apologize and remove. I can’t believe she was just like, oh, she’s really into that, how much did they cost?

Well. That's awkward and deeply uncomfortable, and fuck those people for suggesting you should give away something that means so much to you to shut up a whiny kid.

Jesus. Like, the kid was being a greedy spoiled kid, that’s normal (if unfortunate), but the adults telling you to part with your charms? NOT OKAY.
