Yeah that confused me too.

Sometimes if they see something unusual in the naked machine you have to get a pat down.

It depends on your area but by me I'd guess that a full open bar for 50 adults would cost between one and two grand. Figure around 30pp plus tipping the bartenders?

I totally agree. I just think that you can still view this piece on its own merit.

On the one hand I get what you're saying that sometimes the dirtbag post does take a bit of a bullying tone, which is why I try not to read it.

The fact that they're underage made it worse, because kids are physiologically incapable of completely understanding the consequences of their actions. They are also incapable of exercising judgment in the same way an adult can. We as a society accept this as fact and legislate with it in mind. That said my main…

Fired might be a bit far, I wouldn't mind seeing the title of this article changed to something less rapey though.

No I would not want to sexually assault someone. Under any circumstances. Ever.

This comment crosses the line.

This is tangental, but it drives me a little nuts when people think that's what positive reinforcement is or that it can't work in difficult cases.

"She made it clear she wanted to show her scars as a 'badge of courage' and wanted to use the pool to spread her message"

This is totally tangental but I'm not sure I understand how that is transphobic, insofar as all gender is "fake" to the same degree.

Given that the majority of Israelis can speak and read english fluently, it can still be read there.

As someone with years of experience in working with children with impulse control and emotional problems, "bull**** counseling methods" do work, physical violence does not.

As a teacher who works with children with behavioral issues I completely agree with the mother in this case. That teacher should not be allowed to work with children anymore. Her behavior was completely unacceptable and shows that she really should not be in charge of children. Seriously the lack of self-control and…
