Whether or not she’s found “guilty”, she needs to be institutionalized for the rest of her life. She’s clearly a danger to society. If she had no problem convincing someone she “loved” of comitting suicide, can you imagine what she’d be willing to convince people of anonymously online?

She demonstrated knowledge that what she was doing was wrong, would cause his family to hate her and for the police to come after her. Even in the presence of serious psychological issues which I would argue are not evident here, this ability to discern right from wrong prevents her from using the insanity defense.

It seems like she understands that what she was doing was fucked up and that it had legal consequences, so I’m not sure how her mental state is relevant here from a legal perspective.

“He sent the message at 6:25 p.m., then told his mother he was leaving the house to visit a friend and not to expect him home for dinner. He made a short drive to a remote corner of the Fairhaven Kmart parking lot. At 6:28 p.m., he called Carter and talked to her for 43 minutes. At 7:12, she called him. The call…

Living in Massachusetts, I have been following the case since her arrest and what she did was seriously messed up.

What exactly do celebrities have to apologise for?

I knew she was having to baby him when she had lunch with Amber Rose. I had not read anywhere else that these two hung out together, had history or had even meet before then. It seems pretty obvious that she felt she had to do that to smooth things over after Kanye’s twitter blowup at Amber.

They are the ride or die family. They protect each other regardless of how that person behaves. Look at how they are protecting Scott and Lamar. It’s fine to do that in public. I get it, but damn behind closed doors she needs to lay into him hard. The problem with Kanye though is that he is not mentally well, so it is…

Kim’s not in a position to be offering reality checks to her husband, or anyone else for that matter. Her reality is selling her nothingness. While other women were in college, Kim was in a make-up chair, getting her ass inflated, or waving at crowds of drunk people from VIP rooms. This whole “no one get’s Kanye” is…

I just about died from laughter the first, and I think only time, he really tried to sound like he had any conviction about what he believes..

For a while in college my best friend and I moved in together. Ended up driving me nuts because she brought her family drama with her to college, and then she’d cope by eating. Every time she ate, I didn’t. It became a weird thing. I finally called my mom and went home for a weekend when I realized I’d lost 15 lbs in…

That’s interesting, because that means your particular subculture within upper and upper-middle class people is a major outlier from the weight trends for the US upper and upper-middle classes overall. The prevalence of adult obesity in upper and upper-middle class households (taking that as the uppermost quarter of…

You need at least 4 bites, to be certain.

Hey. Stop apologizing to your parents for being sick. You wouldn’t apologize if you had meningitis, right? You. Were. Sick. It. Wasn’t. Your. Fault. Taking care of our kids when they’re sick is in the “good parent” job description. Thank them & appreciate them, but don’t apologize for getting sick. Ok?

I live in Portland too and the amount of time i have spent listening to people talk about ridiculous, clearly made up, scientifically bullshit diets is frightening. It wouldn’t be so frustrating if they didn’t at the same time feel the need to slander actual science and medicine...

I agree, I like clean eating because it makes me feel good and I genuinely want to do it.

*reads*

I certainly did that. In college I’d waver between bulimia and what is now called orthorexia. And now, 10 years later, having ballooned up I really struggle with starting a “clean eating” plan. Over a decade of bulimia has caught up to me and it’s really hard to stick to my nutritionist’s plan. It is so very hard to…

Yeah, after a few brushes with minor eating disorders and a go at every diet in the book, I’m finally healthy and happy and a big believer that if you have to talk about your diet, then you probably shouldn’t be on it.
