In New South Wales, Australia, abortions are illegal unless the pregnancy represents a threat to the mother’s health - including her mental health. Thus there’s a pretty convenient loophole to enable legal abortion. It’s still not the same as the state law actually being pro-choice, but the option is there.

Racist Nazi would actually be an awesome Kinja name. Hmm.

Maybe give them the “iron throne” treatment?

Duuude, Dream Quest was such an awesome book.

If I were running a company, I’d try and offer generous parental leave with the option of weaning out of / back into full time work. Maybe a few weeks of part-time work, a month or two off, and then back to part-time work (as desired) to help adjust.

Whatever they do, and whether or not her schizophrenia is to blame, I hope she is taken into longer-term custody and kept off the streets. People who try to kill other people do not belong among the rest of us in society.

Link?

The concept of consent doesn’t quite compute with people who believe they are the pawns of an all-powerful creator who will condemn them to an eternity of limitless suffering if they don’t comply with its commandments. My super Christian coworker skirted around the pedophilia angle and instead went with bestiality -…

Maybe it’s just me, but it also sounds a bit like the father convinced his kids to choose blackness over their mother. As in, the political importance of claiming to be black was more important than existing as mixed-race individuals with parents from different cultural backgrounds. Choosing ‘white’ or ‘black’ seems…

Man. I can understand doctors being reluctant to prescribe opiates for ‘pain management’ but for any doctor to resist / deny anesthesia for medical procedures is insane. It’s 2017, there’s no reason patients should have to suffer when there are simple, cheap ways of rendering medical procedures painless.

Drink beer however you want. Whatever brand you like, however you like it, is just fine. There’s a word for the type of person who likes to tell others how they should be enjoying things, or why the things they enjoy aren’t good enough (snob).

“Looking for a green Impala driven by a brown-haired man” doesn’t really narrow it down too much. Get a picture of the person’s ID next time.

This is how you do it — just pull those f***ers down while people are sleeping.

Remove / replace the plaque, replace it with something non-racial? The plaque provides the context (which is racist as f***).

I hope she wins the civil suit. If morality / ethics aren’t enough motivation for the cops to treat people with basic dignity, then perhaps financial liability will.

Maybe, but they’d have one reason fewer.

Yeah... the research paper linked also said that some laypersons and a sample of entry medical students at a southern school exhibited some racial bias / misconceptions. That is a far cry from actual doctors, but concerning nonetheless.

Not sure what your horse in this race is. The charts that the author posted clearly show the glycemic load of rice is higher than that of quinoa. The ‘sugar content’ of a food and its impact on your blood sugar are different - this matters.

No, I’m saying quinoa is objectively more nutritious in terms of fiber, protein (quantity and quality), and sugar content. I still loooove me some rice.

Hood Caribbean restaurants. White people are typically afraid of lambi.
