It'd be awesome if they used Bynes's story to highlight issues with the mental health system, or to feature a woman's personal struggle with schizophrenia (since that's what most assume Bynes is suffering with), or to talk about whether it should be a factor in her ongoing legal problems. But, I guess pointing and…

I've talked to myself as well. But have you ever set yourself and your dog on fire in your neighbor's driveway?

I appreciate your comment, even though I am one of the worst offenders. If she were someone close to me, I'd be outraged at this. Yet, I can't seem to stop myself from feeding into it

Because they said it themselves, to the press, maybe? Their position is that she is not mentally ill. She is spoiled and smokes too much pot, so they are done "dealing" with it.

My understanding was that Britney is on board with the whole thing because she doesn't want to spin out like that ever again. Amanda (and her family it seems) are wholly unwilling to acknowledge that she is ill.

They had conservatorship but bailed out, apparently.

She's 8.

If you think the point of this post was about how monumentally important egg preparation is, I think you missed the point. It was in the oft-quoted (by you) headline. It's DUMB.

It's forgivable because I'm sure you were aware of what a plunger was. And a toilet.

Knowing how you like your eggs and astrophysics are hardly comparable. You don't need to enroll in a graduate program to observe that not all eggs are scrambled. You'd have to abstain from TV, radio, eating out (or around other people) your entire life.

Ignorance, the kind required to be unaware of incredibly basic things, is usually evidence of stupidity.

And maybe he doesn't know cars come in different colors or that red is a color because it doesn't matter to him. It still makes him pretty stupid.

Even a 5 year old knows of hard boiled eggs and scrambled. Give me a break. We're not talking about different ways to prepare salmon here.

You must be 22.

Seriously. I'm shocked that Jez readers are perfectly okay with having the wrong man's sperm inserted into their body. I would be absolutely horrified, even leaving the racial implications out of it. Now add in that the mother is (she admits) ignorant when it comes to mixed race kids and black people in general. That…

My hometown (that I still live within 25 miles of) is racist as hell. Staying here doesn't make me a racist. That doesn't mean I haven't found plenty of wonderful people as well, who I am very close to. My whole family is from here and I love the hills, the restaurants, and all the memories I have here. I wouldn't…

No, it won't, actually. That's why we do not currently have a THC equivalent to the breathalyzer. It's all conjecture and probabilities. There is NO current way to verify whether someone is currently high on pot.

No, it doesn't. There has been no scientifically viable option for testing for current impairment from pot. Blood tests are our best option now but only show a higher likelihood that the person was smoking recently. Many can fail a BLOOD TEST several days after smoking.

That's really idiotic logic. A heavy smoker might smoke 3 blunts a night and never ever smoke before driving, work, or anything requiring a clear head. A light smoker could smoke a joint a month—but smoke that joint right before driving. How heavy a smoker they are will determine how long it remains detectable in…

If I saw someone walking down a Brooklyn street in white power garb, I would be deeply offended. I might even become upset by it. Like the other poster, I wouldn't act on it. That it wouldn't bother you says more about YOU than it does her.
