They were prescribing what the AP *should* have done, not what the AP actually did

I'm noticing he was not arrested or disciplined.

Whatever happened to detention? But seriously, what was she supposed to do? Ignore a call from her dad? If he's calling during no-phone school hours, it's probably important and justifiable. Its not like she just wanted to chat up a friend.

Cucumbers are bitter? Since when? I always thought they were bland and near flavorless...

I guess that they missed the part where Jesus says that the old testament laws of Moses are defunct and it's all about the laws of Christ now (John 1:17, Luke 24:44, Col. 2:14)

do these crazy churches emphasize the crazy old testament and use the new testament as the period at the end of the old testament sentence?

It sounds like they're teaching their men that even they are only glorified meat-puppets for God. It all goes downhill for women from there. The whole religion devalues independent thought, self-respect, and autonomy.

haha! I love these! This little old lady parking lot attendant (she sits in the booth collecting your parking fee when you leave) crochets and sells these as a side business. I don't know how she advertises but I know some folks who've purchased some.

ugh this is creepy beyond belief. Set aside their horrible views on gender and the role of women and they still don't even have autonomy over their own bodies, men included! Your body is the one and only thing that belongs to you and you alone. No one can take it from you. I just can't get into the head of someone…

Those are totally reasonable requests though! Don't try to start beef by asking loaded questions about past co-stars, or the person she gets compared to most often. Don't ask personal questions about her family (I'm sure she's upset about her grandfather, please move on). Just never talk about Bieber ever. Mind…

you had an iphone you could search for a picture of toothpaste on, but didn't think to use as a translator?

This would literally consume my entire savings! (and I thought I was well off!)

the video hit youtube from someone who was probably not him either. Look at the account name. Probably a friend. Probably a friend who set up the donation page

because it could be used as evidence if they physically assaulted him? Kind of like why one might start recording an interaction with police: in case things go bad, there's evidence.

You don't know his situation. For all you know he could have been forced out of the closet and we're watching the fallout. You are blaming him for his family's reaction, too. His choices are to live a life of secrecy and denial which has psychological consequences, or being open and honest and hoping for the best. …

I'm not talking about the event per se, I'm talking about the culture/behavior of members of the burner sub-culture outside of the playa. The APA's DSM defines anti-social personality disorder as:

Because burners are generally obnoxious people? What they call radical self-reliance I call stealing and anti-social personality disorder

what Americans need in order to be informed and prepared is actual information from [experts|scientists|reputable sources], not soundbites from the 24-hour news cycle.

Couldn't agree more! 24-hour news along with comment sections on hard-news sites are a lot of what's wrong with this country today.

why would you self censor? If you're gonna swear, just fucking swear.

coming soon: IOC selects Jamaica to host a winter olympics, then, sometime later, they make a sequel to Cool Runnings about the event
