Ok I concede I cannot find the study and even if I did it wouldn’t matter with the number of other studies that say otherwise.

I mostly agree as those that are typically the biggest problems are the professional shoplifters, but there is a significant number that shoplift out of need.

A thing that has surprised me the most is I have heard no talk about it from my conservative family and others. I have also seen maybe one recently( I usually see one every once in a while) and I live in Louisiana

You did not read what I said at all so I will repeat again with different wording: I said I would be with you if it was 5% but that is not the entire situation because other factors influence that chance such as the needle used.

What is worse I know of one person who commented somewhat frequently on Jezebel who got blocked for merely having constructive criticism of the article.

Yes but you seem to be only considering the 5% chance, which if that was the case I would agree. Until evidence is presented of significant risk of contracting HIV( really I am not asking a lot, in my opinion, proof of an unsterilized needle would be enough), I disagree on the ruling.

You are comparing apples and oranges because both would have different chances of infection. Your example would have to assume at least one did something prior to have a chance such as have unprotected sex with someone else within 12 weeks. If both are virgins, then the chance is practically zero. This assumes of…

Ok i knew all that but I guess I should have been more specific, you need to provide evidence that she got an unsterilized needle or show that getting a tattoo even sterilized provides significant risk to getting an infection.

Ask yourself. You’re a jezebel reader.

I am shocked something this ridiculous is being argued over( not to memtion the illogicity of to rule against the defendent when the burden of proof is on the plaintiff to meet the more likely than not standard that was obviously not met[although this is Australia so very well may not be the case]).

They probably had to let him in or we would never hear the end of “reverse racism”, but at least if they did not let him in, we would fill lots of white tear jars.

All this guy had to do to get away with it was become a cop. Even as it is now, we are hearing how it is Obama’s fault lol.

$20000 and you have a deal!

Ouch! I know almost how you feel. Me and my Dad had an argument over all the racism and he said I was the real racist for pointing it out. He of course used the standard defense of “I have black friends”. One thing that caught me off guard was when he said “You don’t have black friends and therefore don’t know about…

Hmm idk I would think it would be better if we started slightly reducing our population. Our population is FAR over the limit in terms of sustainability. Of course we would also have to start reducing how much resources we use as well.

I can just hear the Reublicans now: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Quick we have to do something now to get her off. Ummm...say it was unconstitutional to appoint her and Obama is racist and..uh, OH YA of course say it is all part of the liberal agenda to have nothing but minorities in office! Ya perfect!

Lol nice inside joke I know not many will get that.

So how big is this clown car again? I guess there is nothing to worry about as I am sure they can buy themselves another clown car.

I guess he is just biologically wired to be ignorant about sexual assault. Also he needs to make sexual assault sound harmless like instead of “pressing themselves” how about caressing themselves on others.
