These comments are making me ill. But also proving why the United States has such an incarceration problem*. Jesus Christ, people, sending a young woman to prison for life does not actually accomplish anything. Thanks for playing.

Question, for people who know things about Canadian law:

Those comparisons will be more useful once we actually have a sentence. A maximum doesn't mean a whole lot - that's there for the judge's discretion if, say, an employee at a nuclear power plant gets drunk and nukes a city. Y'know? Criminal negligence causing death contains a huge spectrum.

Sadly, this always pops up. I like criminology, so I read most Jez articles about prisons/sentences/trials/crimes etc, and without fail there is at least one massive thread about ~!**JUSTIIICE!~

There aren't specific speed laws for motorcycles (and specifically with passengers? Are there motorcycle-with-passenger speed laws anywhere?).

Life in Canada could amount to 30 years. It's 25 years for sure, and then they decide after that if you should be granted parole.

Well, she is in it a lot less (like, almost not at all), so there is that!

Ahhh... you had a crazy hippie friend? Was it... you?

It's great in the same way Season 1 is great. If you hated it, I think you'll hate Season 2 as well.

Assuming you aren't trolling, this actually is rape the same way age differences can cause statutory rape regardless of consent. Daya didn't accuse him of rape - she accused him of having sex with her, which was illegal whether or not she consented or initiated. Bennet is also a rapist in this context. The expectation…

I don't know what PYT means in this context, because my understanding, 'Pretty Young Thing', stopped making sense after a few uses. Hmmm. But it was an entertaining misunderstanding!

Lol right, I would resist those generalizations. Marijuana might stimulate weight loss in some way, but IME the craving for munchies extremely outweighs that - the regular (1+x per day) stoners I know, and the one I live with, would definitely disagree with marijuana = weight loss!!

Ohmygosh. I thought I responded to you but it isn't around, thank you for telling me!!

Will do!! I emailed Kinja help earlier today, hopefully they will delete it, although it'll be sad that the proposed non-stretchy-vagina-meetup won't happen. :(

Hahaha oh god.

Hey, can you please dismiss my comment to you? I accidentally linked to my Meetup account, which has my IRL name and city. :S Please please!

AH thank you. I can't edit it. Fuck. Thanks.

Lol what! Dammit, no idea how that happened, I can't edit it now, grr. Can you see any private info?

For a while here I thought you were reimagining Carrie.

That would be such an amazing reunion story to tell that teacher!
