didn't you know? The oath you have to take before becoming a monster truck driver actually states "if you're in trouble, mash the gas and see what happens."

Dude Tom Meents's spacial awareness is amazing in that thing.

He's a noob. You do that on the INSIDE and use the competitor's cars to absorb your speed and direct you around the corner.

Reminds me of how my brother drives in Gran Turismo...

The question related to "war" planes, so my answer is seriously OT.

That's a pretty liberal use of the word "investigated," isn't it?

But as we've already seen, the publicizing of domestic violence as an issue does cause more women to report abuse.

Adrian Peterson gets to hide behind the biblical idea that it's a sin to NOT physically discipline your child, while simultaneously having sex with a bunch of random women and having very little involvement in raising the children that result. Nice work if you can get it.

Well some of us did. We got hit, realized that this is not how things should be done, and decided to break the cycle.

You know what the really great thing about your story is, though? It's that with your dad's help, your mom managed to break the cycle of abuse. She did it! That's amazing. It is so hard to break that hideous cycle, but she managed it. Good on your parents!

Just a side issue too. If you allow employees or your kids or whoever to post on your business Facebook page then you bear the responsibility too. Saying, "Oh it was a staff member who did it", does not absolve you of some responsibility. It just shows you have no care as to who represents your business, no interest…

"I honestly don't know what to say when people are all "My parents used to beat me up and I'm fine! Lol.""

It's very telling (and fucking depressing) that the post in a way equated children and servers: the former are small, incapable of self-defense and often disregarded in their status as human beings (especially by their abusers); the latter are seen by many (horrible customers) as less than, as menial workers who…

Unfortunately, based on some of the shitty, shitty fundraising "causes" that have been in the news very recently, I have come to a sad conclusion:

I honestly don't know what to say when people are all "My parents used to beat me up and I'm fine! Lol."

Humanity continues to disappoint me. Whoever thinks that it's cool to support a dude who literally beat a 4 year old so hard he went to the hospital is an absolute piece of shit person.

I think this:
If a person has reached adulthood and never questioned the particulars of your upbringings, all the rights and wrongs, that person is not a mature adult.
Parents don't know SHIT. What they do know doesn't apply to children.
SPECIALLY young parents they usually have no fucking idea what they're doing and…

Wow,that was straight from the heart...and bold. Kudos to Carter for taking a brave stance on the subject.
