Yes, please don't. I was a courtroom artist for a few years, and what I learned was that, Ted Bundy aside, most predators are lazy and opportunistic. Meticulous home security won't protect you from date rape, spousal rape or incest, but a great deal of home invasion stranger rape involves ingress through an open…

Right? I used a spray on the lower half of the windows(they're full length) and half of the back door. My HOA doesn't like that kind of thing so I'm hesitant to do all of everything in case they decide then they don't like it. They have some dumb rules around here.

But men can do all these things with the exception of bearing children...

Except, like, you're probably going to have mixed feeling about crushing the instep of your dinner date/colleague/best guy friend/husband. Those situations are traumatic and confusing and can make you stunned and basically incapable of physically fighting someone off. Plus, there's the fact that there are larger…

Full disclosure: I think everyone should learn how to fight bare handed. Regardless of gender. But this is a terrible idea.

I'm with you. If you have your hair permed/straightened/whatever, or a keratin treatment, or colored in certain shades, you can't get it wet/wash it without ruining it. Sometimes, that wait period is 3-7 days. I'm sorry, but if someone has spent $80+ (for color) or upwards of $200-300 for other services, and don't…

I can't count how many times I've been annoyed that a color can't be a slight shade lighter or darker. It really isn't something that should bother me, but they made the mistake in spoiling me with total control and infinite options in Sims 3, only to strip it all away.

This is promising. Whether or not they're responding to negative backlash is irrelevant, everyone was afraid they'd be charging for this stuff and we don't have to. Have to give props to EA for not being 100% douches (though I'd prefer they stop being 90% douches).

And this is exactly why I didn't have a problem with EA leaving things like pools and toddlers out of the launch. They could've rushed ghosts and made them boring, but now they're not only awesome, but FREE. Worth the wait.

I really hope someone makes a house with only the ghosts of Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-wan Kenobi. I'd pay to watch that sitcom.

The history of meddling in other countries' affairs to their often disastrous detriment goes back much further than 2001. http://www.salon.com/2014/03/08/35_…

And are you such an ignorant fuck that you think terrorism is all about us?

I think you're confusing the concepts of "killing Americans" and "destroying America." Sure there are bad people out there who'd love to do both, but bootlegginger is completely correct with the statement that the only persons capable of doing the latter is ourselves.

if the US did it out of a genuine concern for oppressed Iraqis - who were in no danger of being "slaughtered" by Saddam - then why 12 years of crippling sanctions, which did more to add to Iraq's misery than anything Saddam was doing at the time? For that matter, why didn't the US intervene in countless other…

Oh, dear. You seriously think any of this had anything to do with humanitarian intervention?

I think it might have been better to not invade a country which, again, had nothing to do with the attacks.

Hey, fun fact! Afghanistan is not in the Middle East. And the Middle East is not a monolith of freedom-hatin' terrists who all agree all the time re: destroying America, getting offended.

I didn't need to learn it in history because i remember it happening, plus all the other times the US screwed things up in the Middle East.

1. You apparently didn't notice the word "and" in that sentence. This is a conjunction that links the concept "capability" with the concept "desire." No doubt some want to "destroy America" but there is zero chance that they can.

The U.S. was pissing people off in the Middle East long before 9/11 and the so-called War on Terror. I wouldn't normally chime in but your username makes me suspect you might be associated with UF. The Gator Nation is everywhere
