As a student finishing their final semester for a Criminal Profiling degree, I'd just like to note that sex offenders are incredibly unresponsive to rehabilitation. I do agree that the rest of the prison population should be treated differently, in terms of combining punitive and rehabilitative efforts. This is the…

Oh god. Dottie Sandusky isn't just some lady on the tv to me — I'm from the town where this happened, where everybody knows each other. Dottie Sandusky, Sue Paterno... these are women my mom has gotten her haircut with and done neighborly lady things with all my life. My mom is a formal social worker and whip-smart…
My hero's help is needed.
My not wealthy, not famous physical therapist also had a preventative double mastectomy. Like Angelina, she was at a very high risk and after weighing the odds — how devastating cancer treatment would be to her career and young family, how expensive in terms of cost and time, and how high her risk for getting cancer…
She lost her mother, aunt, uncle & both grandparents to cancer in their 40s-50s. Her mom died at 56 after battling cancer for almost 10 years and she didn't want her children to go through the pain of losing her, like she had done with her own mom. Finding out about having this gene must have been horrible and it's…
Do you have BRCA1+ or BRCA2+? Have you lost every woman in your family, before they turned 60 because they died of breast or ovarian cancer? Were you told at 20 that, if you made it to 40 your lifetime change of contracting breast cancer was in the high 80th percentile, or that overian cancer, after the age of 45 was…
Her mother died of cancer and as the article states, she has a much-higher-than-normal chance of also developing cancer. Call her paranoid, but she made a conscious informed decision to minimize her risk as much as possible.
Wha? She saw her mother die of ovarian cancer. She has a comparatively high risk of having the cancer herself and she has kids she doesn't want to leave motherless. I think she has a greater awareness of cancer than most. And I think your anger is misplaced.
This isn't just random. She had an 87% chance of developing breast cancer and a 50% chance of developing ovarian cancer. After a discussion with her doctor and presumably her family, she decided that the risks of surgery were more acceptable than the risks of cancer.
One night I spent a while reading publications of the Quiverfull movement, then I went to Quivering No More, which was for former members to tell their stories. There was a section where they asked a variety of members from a variety of situations the same questions about their lives. (how did you get involved in…
She mentioned it because he advocates for home schooling so that outside influences can't "poison their minds". He has railed against conventional education for years saying evolution, biology and paleontology are devious ideas by deviant people. He wants his flock to be isolated and thus easily manipulated. That is…
I kind of see your point, but he is really most famous for his home schooling teachings and seminars, so it's an identifier, not a slam. You really cannot talk about Gothard without discussing his home schooling advocacy.
Kim Gordon confirmed that she considered the relationship an affair in an interview with Elle magazine last year. She discussed the circumstances in more detail there.
Nope, Angelina Jolie famously don tattoos before it becoming a trend. Perhaps she is the first most visible public figure that proudly displaying her tattoos collection.
For me it was "The Brothers Grimm".
This right here is the only reason I will be watching 300: Rise of an Empire.
She was also Gwynevere in the Merlin movie with Sam Neill—very beautiful:
She'll always be that brooding Sarah Connor to me
