Stainless? Bitch please. Cast iron or go home.

It blows my mind that in a situation where the disaster is “when” not “if” regulators still can’t act.

How can the decision NOT to replace it make sense to anyone?

I’m sure you’re right and that most people understand that; the top comment is just a joke at FOX’s expense.

I’m very sure I couldn’t do it. Forfeiting so many years of your life, and your privacy, and your mental health, just to do the right thing on the slim chance it would work. This is something we as a society have no right to ask of victims, only a debt of gratitude when they do.

I don’t think I’ve never used one (out of someone else’s fridge) that was working properly. If you don’t account for human nature your product is going to fail. But more to the point, using a Brita doesn’t protect your city’s water supply.

All the victims, and hell- the general public- owe that woman a debt of gratitude. She’s the one who got the whole ball rolling with her initial lawsuit. So courageous.

Not that this is a choice between two options, as it’s sort of being presented, but reforming the juvenile system to allow spectacularly heinous criminals to be prosecuted as adults could save far more future victims, since it would both prevent any future murderers from receiving such a light sentence, and because…

Our town’s tapwater smells/tastes like fish. Outsiders don’t like it but I’m used to it.

Well, since the justice system in India does not seem interested in providing justice in the form of lifelong imprisonment OR the regular old death penalty to him, it should be left up to The People, not The State.

I certainly wouldn’t be all broken up about it, but it seems like the wrong way to go about reform. Of course, if your goal is revenge and deterrence rather than judicial reform, I guess you’re right.

I find that the filters stop functioning long before people actually replace them. I also find this to be a depressing band-aid solution to the fact that we’re contaminating the scarce and precious drinking water and failing to reinvest in necessary infrastructure to keep the water supply clean and delicious.

Okay, but surely you’re not suggesting that we rip all rapists limb from limb as a preventative measure or means of revenge... Are you?

I think there’s always a point beyond which people will resort to mob justice. This is India’s tipping point. I actually don’t think it’s uncivilized; it’s a release valve that keeps civilization from breaking down over smaller injustices that we accept everyday.

Wouldn’t do fuck-all to help the next victim, as satisfying as it would be for a lot of people, including myself.

Nobody here would argue that point. There are actually more than those two options (mob murder and doing nothing); the courts could amend the law to make sure that the kind of crime is treated more severely going forward, which would go a long way to appease the public.

Yes. He killed her in the most brutal way imaginable, and people want him to die.

I recognize and share the instinct, but how would that honestly help?

‘member when people thought those worked? Good times.

Sorry, but it’s 2 with 6 zeros after it dollars. For like an hour of work. I would feel horrible about it though.
