This depends on how much you trust the police. The detectives involved in Adnan’s case were involved in another murder conviction that was eventually overturned because of bad police work and potential tampering with evidence.

You should listen to the This American Life episode on Confessions: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives…

Have you heard the undisclosed podcast? It’s from Rabia, a lawyer, who is the sister of Adnan’s friend. Undisclosed goes much, much deeper than serial. I mean each podcast roughly, averages more than an hour, and in between episodes there are “addendums,” also averaging about an hour. It goes into Great detail about…

Don did it!

Ciara already tried a Future upgrade; it didn’t take.

“NO ONE CAN FORCE YOU TO HAVE AN ABORTION. NO ONE — NOT A PARENT, NOT A HUSBAND, NOT A BOYFRIEND — NO ONE.”

I am currently in the midst of a very high risk pregnancy. I also had a “missed miscarriage” at almost three months. The miscarriage was totally traumatizing on every level, but the one blessing was that the D&C I had to have was performed by my longtime OB. If- goddess forbid - I find myself carrying a baby with a…

The more someone insists they’re “one of the good ones,” a “nice guy,” the more I become convinced there is a torture basement in their residence.

One step. BUT THIS SHIT PISSES ME OFF. As a professional dancer myself, NO ONE WANTS TO PAY YOU. It’s so frustrating especially bc sports players make millions. Cheerleading and dance are a SPORT and actually have just as many injuries (if not more) than football. UGHHHHHHH-who has an ativan?

Nono, you’re mistaken; it’s not that they should be paid in experience. It’s that they are supposed to be grateful to be in the presence of wealthy professional athletes who might deign to let them be glorified prostitutes if they’re especially good at cheerleading.

Uh oh, here come the assholes who think cheerleaders should only be paid in experience or some such right-wing twaddle.

Do you realize you just invented a new word and it’s brilliant? Trumple = to move forward recklessly and with no regard for anyone or their personal safety.

I hate saying this, but I do not feel for her parents. The only ethical decision is that which most closely matches the explicit desires of the patient. Parents and children who selfishly deny their children or parents the medical decisions they have stated they want are in the wrong. Only if the parents had a case…

Michael Schiavo was treated horribly and got the worst raw deal when the fucking congress intervened to collude with Terry’s parents’ denial and he was straight up demonized in the right wing press. It was monstrous how this whole thing was treated like a political football. I had to stop watching. There was something…

My point is that responding doesn’t work. Someone else commented on my original post with a link to a study about it but to sum up, responding with ANYTHING to a misinformed person (rather than someone who is just uniformed) doesn’t actually sway them because no matter what the information is they will see it as…

“Islam is not a religion. It’s a violent blood cult, okay?” said 68-year-old veteran Hoyt Wood. “All they know is violence, that’s all they know.”

And she supports government handouts! She seems to dumb to even get this republican thing right. And that's saying something.

Alot of them seem to yearn for a mythical golden age, where all the heroes where John Wayne and all bootstrapy and such. The fact they are still the most privileged class on the planet means nothing to them; because they compare themselves to a past that never existed.

“I like him because he’s a businessman,” said North Carolinian Linda Wilkerson. “He does what he says he’s going to do. I’ve seen him lose a ton of money and bounce back. We’re in terrible financial debt. I hope he can bail us out.”

I’ve personally found that being white in America is a pretty sweet deal. I’m always puzzled as to how these folks can’t grasp that.
