She probably wouldn't be in minimum sec if the could convict her of the bombing attempt

This is so interesting- just goes to show that these restrictions on women have much more to do with radical conservatism with a Muslim flavor than Islam itself, since these people were not any less Muslim back in the 60s

And Iran:

I have a kid sister. She's approaching dating age. Assuming I had a friend young enough to date her (the age gap is enormous,) he's not "allowed" to date her without telling me. He's simply not my concern in that regard.

Yeah, but Fig knows why people are in prison. Even if it was totally her decision, why would she give the violent stalker the driver's job? My guess is Morello's in jail for mail fraud and the stalking thing is separate. Maybe there was never enough evidence to charge her with the attempted bombing.

It's so jarring and disconcerting to see what's happened in such a short amount of time to Iraq and Afghanistan. Only 1 generation away from this (Baghdad, 1970s)

On the little sister's side here, if I found out a guy asked my brother for advice and help because he liked me, I'd think it's cute. If I found out that a guy went to my brother because he felt like he had to get said brother's approval before he could talk to me, I'd be pissed off.

Violent criminals don't end up in the position with the greatest freedom (driver) at a minimum security prison.

Or the alternate title....

I'm the little sister.

Like the author stated, you do not posses her, and frankly, I don't see you as a very good friend or brother because of that possessiveness. She's her own person, especially when she's 21. It's a good thing to care, but you won't be doing her any good. That is unless your friend is a jackass, but why would you be…

I've found that is true with either gender. I find it easier to be attracted to someone who is relaxing and having a good time, because they show more features I would like than when they're showing only those parts of them that are determined to have me. When they're trying very hard, I get the feeling they're…

I suspect It is because the more interested you come off the more they may feel they have to live up to that interest, or at the very least, they will be obligated to some commitment should they respond positively. Maybe they just wanna have fun like all girls. Maybe someone who is too interested throws up red flags.

Or, here's an idea, you could realize your sister is her own fucking person and let her, as an adult, decide who she wants to date and when, including your friends, without asking your permission like it's 1890 and you're her dad.

I've never understood the idea of asking an older sibling for any kind of permission. If it's heading into serious, we-could-keep-stuff-at-each-others-homes/move in together kind of thing? Then yeah that's the moment to start having some discussions. But not everyone figures that out within a few weeks or some months.…

I likewise prefer hanging out w the guys versus toiling over a garden.

But would an attempted bomber be in minimum security? I assume she is there for mail fraud and Christopher was a character witness during sentencing.

I don't think they changed it last minute. The way she was written season 1 with her delusional wedding obsession, mixed with the fact that her fiancé never visited works well to this conclusion.

Morello, I admire your dedication, if not your batshit insanity.

The glimpse into her home life before she met Chris-tuh-pher was the part that gutted me. So much sad. No wonder.
