I used to work with someone who is awaiting trial on similar charges. The process of learning about someone’s involvement in this crime is one of endless waves of awfulness. Everything you think of, how she made a big deal about kids, how she was caught, and seeing in the news what she did to children just makes it…

This.

I was in tears. Yesterday I heard a fucking horrific story of domestic violence in one of my student’s families. After reading this I’m considering becoming a masked vigilante.

Don’t forget that the dominant powers are US-backed, so enacting change means more than just being the target of your government but the CIA as well.

Agreed, but can I award a gold medal to this kind of fuckery?

I completely and totally agree with you and my reaction would be identical regardless of the origin of the culprit.

Best way to fuck Saudi Arabia and these other countries is to use as little oil and gas as possible.

Agree with you 100%! And let the hellhole that is Saudi Arabia serve as a warning to us to not let our own nutters take over and impose their version of hell, where the rich and religion rule supreme. Also, cut off all foreign aid to all countries now!! China now has the largest economy in the world...let them pick up…

Please forgive this rant and don’t come at me with any bullshit “you’re anti Islam” comments.

one of the scariest things about having all the old Mystery Science Theate eps from the Comedy Channel on tape is the commercials, and while the trial was going on they (eta: Comedy Central, not MST3K) did a lot of between commercial gags and promos. Their biggest one was “Just Say No-J”.

That’s not a dog barking! That’s “the plaintive wail of an Akita.”

Oh come on. I “cheated” on all my high school boyfriends because I was young and nothing was permanent. Was it selfish? Sure. But saying it’s some form of emotional abuse and comes from a place of disorder is ridiculous. I’ve now been with my current partner for more than 7 years. Cheating on him is something I don’t…

The cheating bastard deserves all the anger, but the other woman deserves some too. She didn’t fuck your man because she wanted dick, she did it to prove she is hotter than you.

I am worth WAY more than staying with some douche because he couldn’t keep it in his pants. Cheating, he’s outta my life. Been there, done that, tossed his arse out the minute I found him with her. And never looked back. There is no reason to demean yourself staying with someone who didn’t think enough of you that…

Or as the old adage goes, Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.

Nope. Nope nope nope.
Having spent 5 years with someone terrible, all I can say to this is everyday you waste with some POS who doesn’t appreciate you (or cheats on you or abuses you or whatever) is a day you could have spent doting on your fabulous self, or being treated appropriately by someone better. You’re much…

I was thinking pay her friends and family back for any refunds or deposits they couldn't obtain.

It's no more wasteful than what most people do: wear it once and keep it in the attic forevermore. Donating it would have been a nice gesture, as it would be for any woman to donate her worn only once wedding dress. But sounds like she needed this release, so more power to her.

Edit: typo

I think it gives a better sense of closure to that chapter of her life by the artistic expression. I think she should be afforded the chance to be selfish in this case: her life has changed. Let her be!
