Interesting. I feel like a 10 year old should be able to be home alone...not sure about 7.

Can someone (other than me) take the time to confirm that he was in fact facing the right direction?

What does Kevin Ward's state of mind have to do with this? The legal question is whether Tony Stewart intended to hit him. I don't think anyone is disputing that Kevin Ward exercised poor judgment, even if he was stone cold sober.

That strength coach seems like the type of guy who's been waiting 10 years for the chance to kick someone's ass.

One group? Are you really under the impression that there's just one group of Native Americans that wants this name changed? Do you get your facts straight from Dan Snyder's Twitter feed?

Is there some kind of rule that we have to tackle problems in a certain order? ISIS and Ebola are much bigger deals than the leak under my house, so do I need to wait until those problems are solved before I address this leak?

Having Native American mascots doesn't really add to our knowledge about them, so not having Native American mascots won't take away from our knowledge about them.

If my spouse said goodnight and went to bed, then I later realized they were gone I couldn't get a hold of them on the phone, and no one else knew where they were....yea, I'd probably be concerned.

Can someone give me the TL;DR version of why Mozgov is a cocksucker?

I don't know how working for a TV network is, but I assume it's like being an employee anywhere else. It's employment at will, meaning either side can terminate at any time. Giving two weeks' notice is a courtesy. Not giving notice probably means she won't be able to use them as a reference in the future, but that's…

Even when you get plugs, you can end up with a perfectly straight line. See John Travolta's horrible plugs...

Every time I hear people trying to justify hitting their kids, I feel like I'm listening to frat bros explaining that they make their pledges do all kinds of gay shit "because it builds comradery and makes us closer!"

" definitely will try to obviously not leave bruises or anything like that on her, but I definitely will discipline her, harshly, depending on what the situation is."

So you slapped her on the hand. That raises a few questions. First, does that even hurt enough to accomplish whatever you're trying to accomplish over there? Second, if you daughter asked you why, you explained why, and she understood it...don't you think she's probably intelligent enough that she could have reached…

Right, but the point is that Anheuser-Busch knows that alcohol is a huge cause of death and domestic violence, but they want everyone to buy it anyway, because it benefits them.

Studies are better than, "This is how it's always been!"

More than half of America and definitely more than half of the world think you're dead wrong when it comes to segregation It's sad you're so unaware of how arrogant you look by proclaiming all segregation is bad and does not work, because you have "studies" to back your claim. Sorry, you're convincing NOBODY with your…

Yea, who needs all of this fancy science and stuff? Get your fancy books out of here. My gut tells me it's okay to hit my kids!

Perhaps you're just lazy and care more about immediate results than long-term results? Unless your child is mentally handicapped, there's no reason why disciplining her requires physical force. All you're teaching her is that it's okay to use violence against another person, if that person isn't doing what you want…

Reading Wikipedia, it seems like the more educated and affluent a person is, the less likely they are to spank their children.
