And everyone knows you can't trip and fall without landing on a Betsy or Nadine?

Then you are my 4 year old daughter, and what the hell are you doing at Coachella?

See, and as a mother, I feel so much sympathy for her, because I understand the fierce desire to protect your child, especially (I'd imagine) a fragile child.

One more season of The Killing?!? YESSSSSS!

And Kesha, I just adore you.

So following your logic, every child with autism who hits a teacher/caregiver/parent could be hit back. What a scary world that would be. If you could consider a child with special needs (who frequently lack the ability to understand or control their bodies) an assailant, my god, please stay away from them.

My goodness. What is Lord Grantham/Hugh Bonneville doing at Sochi? He is unamused.

XOXO

Agreed, but claiming that the blame lies with the school board is totally out of line. Asking someone not to physically assault the children in her care is not asking a lot of a bus driver. It is literally the bare minimum to ask of anyone who has a job working with kids.

As frustrated as the bus driver may have felt, it is NOTHING compared to the life of the 8 year old with disabilities, who must deal with incredible frustrations, challenges and limitations every single day. The bus driver can go home at the end of the day, but that child can never escape their situation. They can,…

Bullshit. Working as a bus driver is not some inalienable right. If you fucking suck at your job, find a new one. If you literally cannot get through your work day without assaulting someone, especially a little kid, you need to find a new line of work.

well she did pull over eventually, and aid did come. But after it went too far. Granted, I went to school in Canada but there the bus is an extension of the school. You call the school and have someone from administration come out.
She could have even stopped the bus and taken a breather outside. There are tons…

Ugh, gross. Some of us do actually work in the Early Child Development field, and know that hitting little kids, especially ones with special needs, is complete and utter bullshit. You don't need to be a saint, just a decent person.

You begin by saying you can't excuse it, but your entire comment reads like an excuse/explanation of why this incident wasn't that bad.
It isn't a "my abuse was worse than your abuse!" contest.

Yes, this is all true.

Seriously, why is anyone okay with this? It is her job to shuttle children from home to school and back in a safe fashion. If a child is being unruly she should pull over and call for assistance. She NEVER should have gotten out of her seat, and she NEVER should have laid hands on him. An eight year old having a…

I work with kindergarteners-4th graders and WHAT IN THE HOLY HELL. How does it cross anyone's mind that those actions are even remotely okay?

Obligatory posting of 6 minute tracking shot from True Detective. Spoilers yadda yadda

I think the cold weather is making you cranky.

Now, the biggest loser is fucked up. How she lost weight (155 lbs in 5 months is not healthy). But I feel like everyone reacted so harshly because of the way she looked. 105 lbs for her height is not abnormal. The biggest loser has been subjecting it's contestants to these type of tactics since the first season, yet…
