Wait, what? Which woman? Ms. Ewing (Tierne) is dead. Her husband Kevin killed her.

The rules for bail depend on the locality, but it is certainly possible to hold a defendant without bail (usually for murder, but not exclusively).

If you actually read her profile, you’ll see that she was working her tail off at multiple jobs to try to support her six (!) kids. She surely needed a cell phone to be called in to work. It seems like she just went from one job to the other much of the time, leaving her kids with her family. She probably did not have…

Entirely likely. Luckily, they haven’t the mental wherewithal to understand any of it.

I do actually think that IS the answer. If, for even a decade, women stopped birthing babies, there would suddenly be all sorts of supportive programs to encourage them to.

I understand that that is a big problem. However, an awful lot of us who have the same qualifications and did NOT birth a baby are also having a terrible time finding work that enables us to live indoors. Like, a LOT. I hope the fact that you at least have a child to show for it is some consolation.

I thought Aurora’s statement was specifically about their correctional system, though. Is yours? Can someone give detail about their correctional system?

Whether or not it is blame (which I think is debatable), isn’t it the TRUTH?

ESPECIALLY Florence Henderson. (Read her book!)

Hmmm. It doesn’t seem right to punish the animals (by eating them) just because someone was a jerk to you. I don’t get it.

In my experience, people who are really, deeply concerned about the planet and about suffering may sometimes mention these things to other people. And those other people may call it “abuse” because they aren’t used to having their judgment on these issues questioned. Different experiences, eh?

Depends on which pets they have. I mean, if I had a pet tiger, I would have to find it some dead meat.

Oh, bleh. Yeah - naturopathy is definitely not part of the standard vegan path. I went once to a chiropractor who did that “muscle testing” on me and almost laughed in his face. Sadly for him, I was uninterested in the dozens of supplements he just happened to be selling in his office.

I’m not an expert but I’m guessing you’ve met very few vegans.

If you care about this issue, you’d probably want to read the book “Obligate Carnivore” by Jed Gillen. It explains how the main amino acid that cats can’t synthesize naturally (taurine) is added as a supplement to both vegan and non-vegan cat foods. My guess, though, is that you just want to diss vegans without…

I’m sure there’s someone, somewhere who feels that way. But, in fact, the vegans I know feel that it’s our job to take care of the animals who are already on this earth, and that includes pets. It’s not safe for domesticated animals simply to let them loose, so we do the best we can for them while keeping them safe.

Hey, you know what? Just because you haven’t seen something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Like, for instance, you never met my 17-year-old malamute mix who was a vegan. And I’m pretty sure you haven’t seen my 14-year-old pit bull who is in essentially perfect health after 10 years as a vegan. (I brought him back from…

When you think about it, though, vegans DO do less harm to migrant workers. That would be the migrant workers who work in the slaughterhouses - which is hellish for anyone. One of the reasons slaughterhouses like to use non-legal immigrants is that, when they get hurt (which people inevitably do), they can’t collect…

Except, you know, my vegan dogs are living shockingly long and are perfectly happy. My large dogs have been living to be 16 or 17 years old on a vegan diet. So - you might as well do some broader research before coming to a conclusion, you know? There’s also a difference between breeding more domestic animals (which I…

How dare he date dozens of women who look identical to each other is more the point, I think. Also, why can’t I and succubusdeathglare and HarvestMoon and Emilylor say what we think about Di Caprio. Is it going to hurt his feelings? The only thing more ridiculous than our expressing our feelings is eggshelljones…
