I actually applaud it. I fly either with a small pack that will fit under the seat or I will check a bag. I absolutely cannot stand dragging a carry-on through the airports, and worse, finding out all the overheads are full anyway and it gets gate-checked. I know I’m a minority but I would love if all checked bags…

It did seem a little odd that he didn’t at least have the sense to jump out of his car and furiously sweep the path with his curling broom.

But since they haven’t done that and they still worship his child rape enabling ass like a god, fuck PSU

Uh if the PSU alumni and fan base would, for the most part, acknowledged that Joe Paterno was a horrible human being and stop denying he was innocent and what he was a part of should never be excused just because he was good at winning football games, I might be inclined to agree with you.

That can be a really important step. When a 14 year old student opened up to me about her recent rape (I was her high school teacher) it was because she trusted me to do something about it. We were sitting with a police officer in the principal’s office within 15 minutes. She needed an advocate sitting with her. Going…

The thought process was probably not a decision between telling the principal or the police, but between telling and not telling at all. Going to the police is difficult and scary and there are myriad reasons why victims don’t do this right away. Telling an intermediary party is typical, not atypical, especially when…

I’m trying to think practically and since rape is a serious crime and very sensitive crime going to the police should be the first step so evidence can be collected.

I wouldn’t say that. She trusted that the principal would help her and he did.

These are kids; telling a trusted adult is not a “wasted step”, and it also allows her some accommodation from the school, so she doesn’t have to ride the same bus with him or whatnot. Give the girl a break- she did nothing wrong. No one can ever be a victim perfectly enough to meet everyone’s standards.

The 31-year-old Torontonian commemorated his recent vasectomy with a celebratory photo shoot. In one photo, he tenderly cradles a head of kale like a green, leafy infant.

Please don’t take this as my defending McQueary in any way, but do you know the percentage of people who will do nothing when they witness something like this? It’s pretty damn high. Basically everyone says “Oh yeah, I would stop it,” but in the moment your brain doesn’t work that way. I know this because I was…

You’re not wrong to be critical of him, but also put yourself in his shoes for a second.

Agreed. Intellectual arguments don’t matter to a person who’s struggling and didn’t go to college. These people aren’t too stupid to understand (they’re actually fairly smart) but they don’t have the luxury to think about it -- they just want change for the better for them asap. The struggling people who do have time…

We’re talking about fourth down as time expires and the team with the ball has a lead, in which case they are not attempting to advance the ball at all but instead are attempting to prevent the other team from scoring. In all practical terms, they are the defensive team.

I really thought you were talking about your aldermen.

Would the local building code allow him to build a 15' tall solid fence extending from his garage to the sidewalk? I doubt it, because it would look horrible and disrupt everybody’s view. By parking a trailer that rarely moves he’s essentially done that though, and he’s a dickhole because he refuses to work with his…

there are a lot of things you CAN do, but because of common decency you shouldn’t. this is a guy who doesn’t give a fuck if what he does annoys other people, because he has the “right”. doesn’t m ake it illegal, just makes him an asshole

parking a 25 foot trailer in his driveway. did you not read the article?

“I looked around the room and everyone had their heads down. And I said no.”

Do you think garbagemen want to pick up garbage?
