It’s not that the issues are caused by them. It’s more that by reintegrating them into society they will feel like they have something to lose.

No, you saw someone talking specifically about a *rehabilitation program* that’s been showing success reducing recidivism in Ontario, Canada. I’d suggest re-reading it and the posted article.

Beyond being less objective, success in the humanities requires highly developed communication and rhetorical skills. Math, music and other pursuits often produce these prodigies because they are self-contained disciplines, where advancement can occur without concurrent development of other skills.

Would you want a convicted killer anywhere near another human being? Because they also get released and they can live anywhere they like.

He can hang out with lots of dudes his own emotional age by joining a fraternity.

This stuff kind of weirds me out. Education has a big “develop socially with people who are more or less your social peers” component, and, at least based on this story... I guess I wonder where this kids gets to hang out with people his age.

If including scenes shot in parking garages with graffiti is plagiarism, dude’s film plagiarised Michael Jackson’s filmclip for Bad. You don’t get to throw a bunch of generic elements into your work and then get pissed when someone else uses those same elements.

He’s a headteacher now and I…

Trump: “We are going to stop the tens of thousands of people coming in from Syria. We have no idea who they are, where they come from”

“Willow was doing all these things, about to have record label deals at like the age of 6, and I was like, ‘I feel like I’m underachieving.’”

Including the Met. Not really sure why many Americans on this thread seem to think they have the moral high ground on this one.

I feel so sorry for her. Let me play her a song on a this tiny violin:-

called herself “the most hated person in the world.”

At first I thought she was too young, as the book states quite clearly that she’s middle-aged. At the same time, the undercurrent of sexual jealousy and bitterness against another woman for being fertile while you’re not is much more believable when both women are young. A middle-aged woman is most often at peace with…

This is ridiculously stupid and completely on our own heads for not having secure, multi-verifiable, & non-privatized voting solutions deployed years ago instead of crap like Diebold and other foxes we have guarding the henhouse at every turn.

If anyone finds a video of the full performance that you don’t need to be in the US to watch, I will love you forever.
