Yeah - like you, I grew up with a lot of racism in and around my home; older brothers constantly spouting racist remarks (they have since changed, and are not like that any more), their asshole friends doing the same, etc. - and being the youngest, I was around it a LOT. Even as far back as I can remember (way before…

I really hate the “argument” of “Well, if I had the internet when I was a kid...” - as if it’s the internet’s fault that the two girls in this story made a shitty rap about lynching black people. Not to mention, the girls released the recording at the time the internet already existed - it’s not like the internet was…

When you were cruel to girls who were heavier than you, did you honestly believe (at age 14) that it was the right thing to do / appropriate way to act? Or did you, in at least some minimal way, know that it might possibly not be the right way to behave? And let’s not pretend that there’s not a difference between a…

While I agree with your criticism of this site, I have to say that by the age of 14, a person is old enough to know that certain things are simply wrong, bad, and unacceptable regardless of what jokes they hear growing up. We’re talking about freshmen here, not elementary school kids - that’s beyond the age that they…

Kind of funny coming from the person who took the photo seriously, and took the effort to post a comment about the people in the photo as if they are actually the girls in the story.

So you admit to parking in a private business’s lot when you were not there as a customer of that business?

it’s going after low-hanging fruit because that’s what gets clicks and shares.

“Image via Shutterstock”

Pretty standard formatting. And if anyone does an image search to try to find out who they are, they will find links to the stock photo site listed at the bottom of the article where it clearly states that the photo is a stock photo (as well as multiple other sites that use the same stock photo, or others from the…

So why click on the article (thereby adding to the money the adults are making by “calling out” these two)?

Not to mention, facebook is an opt-in service, that exists for the specific purpose of connecting with others and sharing photos / posts of whatever. This Zelda person is literally complaining about facebook being a forum for sharing posts, while (apparently) being an active user of the service that exists for no…

You realize that facebook is an “opt-in” service, right? And did you not even bother to read the article above? There’s an “unfollow” button you can use if you don’t want to see posts by the people you choose to connect with on facebook - which is an opt-in service designed specifically to connect with other people…

Your question actually somehow makes me think it’s not. Either way, this person has literally no understanding of fault or responsibility based on their arguments.

5-year olds do not have a full understanding of right and wrong, personal responsibility, that actions have consequences, and have little to no impulse control. You, on the other hand, by providing entertainment services to small children, are responsible for taking those things into consideration in providing the…

I always find it funny when someone thinks that saying “My (whatever family member) is a lawyer!!!” absolves them of any wrongdoing - especially when they go to such lengths to detail every single reason why they, both objectively and legitimately, are the only person at fault in the situation. That the woman in this…

Legal issues aside, you were still at fault / “guilty” in the larger sense, as you created the situation and (admittedly) did not practice good fire safety. You are the one who made the wrong decisions that mattered in the situation, and expected a 5-year old to act like a responsible adult (and to understand that…

The legal liability would fall on you, not the mother or the child. Keep in mind, the child was able to play with a can of flammable material that you owned, supplied to the premises, left in a place where it was accessible by children, and ignored / left unattended for a period of time long enough to allow a child to…

This happens all the time if you juggle. Kids think your stuff is toys for anybody to play with. It’s annoying but mostly harmless, but like an idiot, I’d been in a rush and left a can of parrafin next to my gear.

I never understood spouses who sit there while their SO treats people like this.

No condoms were used, by anyone. The links are there for a reason.
