Well, from personal experience, my sister’s school district refused to move a kid who was bullied to the point of serious injury (not going to say more than that for anonymity’s sake, and there might be a suit in progress, so). It happens. I do think most school districts try hard in this circumstance, but it doesn’t…

I suspect this is one of those things that varies widely depending on state law and the specific school district.

The other classes might already be at max enrollment. Or who knows, this might just be the latest in a string of shitty behavior and the parents are sick of it.

In some school districts, you’re not allowed to change schools. If you don’t like your assigned school then tough cookies. Schools also have a maximum enrollment, so if the other nearby schools are full, they won’t take her.

I prefer a pencil to powders or gels as I think it gives you more control. Personally I do not fill in my entire brow—I do the top and center tips of my brows and go more lightly on the bottom. I wear dark glasses frames and I feel like not filling in the bottom of my eyebrows so much gives a break between the glasses…

Yeah, but that’s an issue with how we treat DV survivors, not with DV survivors themselves. Who wants to come to court to face their abuser when you have no money, are struggling to care for your child, and know that court is expensive and time consuming?

1) That is an INCREDIBLY unlikely scenario and I am willing to take that risk because statistically, it rarely ever happens.

If this is sarcasm, I would point out that it does work well for things that are not easily manufactured. We’ve got a pretty good handle on controlling Sudafed, for example, thanks to a national registry. It’s hard to control things like drugs, because drugs are either fairly easily manufactured in the US (meth, weed)…

We don’t need to make laws that bar every potential criminal from owning a gun. We just need to make it difficult and annoying enough to get a gun that the majority of potential criminals are deterred. For example, we could make it mandatory to attend classes before you’re allowed to even touch a gun (like we do with…

This is what I don’t get. I know SO MANY people who are like, “But what if my house is being robbed!” and I’m like, “You could...not shoot anyone and call your insurance company the next day?”

Well, we know the rate of gun accidents (not even homicides here, just accidents) is way higher than the rate of crimes “stopped” by guns. It’s not just that somebody might develop a serious mental illness and kill their children, it’s that many, many people do not take proper care of lethal weapons.

So essentially, the treaties and such that compose the “Irish peace” predated the EU, but abiding by the Irish peace was required to join the EU. The Tories for whatever reason (I’m not super clear on why) do not like the peace and wanted to redo those treaties but could not while the UK was in the EU. Now that the UK…

Look out on Ireland because part of the peace is tied up with the EU.

Lohan can apparently actually name places in the UK other than London so I think she might be beating Trump there.

Ugh. Surely in a free country, we should be able to choose. :P

I think all people are entitled to the same rights, so I fail to see where you’re getting that from.

Yeah, jfc the woman is dead, take 10 seconds to proofread.

Is this to me? I am against drafting people into military service. I think forcing people to support the killing of others is abominable.

Because these are adults with legal workplace and wage protections. I also don’t think that sweatshop labor technically qualifies as slavery either, because those people are not literally purchased. Slavery (in which a human is bought and used for labor without compensation or consent) does exist still, but I think it…
