Yeah, I've got two. One is 75 pounds and one is about 70. I also had no experience with standards before we got them. I was not only really surprised by how big they were but also amazed at their athleticism. I thought poodles were just fluff dogs. I was really, really wrong.

What???? Ok, in all honesty, they're not the cutest dogs. Although, that can completely depend upon the haircut poodles have. But, I have had many different types of dogs. And in my opinion, standard poodles have the best personality, are the most intelligent, are extremely empathetic, and are great exercise dogs…

Yep. That's a standard. It has a teddy bear cut as opposed to the shaved face. In my opinion, whether poodles are cute or not is completely dependent upon the haircut. Some people do crazy shit with their poodle's hair. Source: I have two standards and they also have the teddy bear cut. They look just like this…

Oh right. I'm just being ignorant and the jury didn't know what it heard. Every person who is accused of rape is a rapist, even if they are acquitted. Do you hear yourself? I realize it happens very rarely, but sometimes people are actually falsely accused of rape. This is the article that I meant to post (with…

She admitted to giving mixed messages. Poor wording by the juror, but she also admitted to a friend in a text message that he "didn't do anything wrong." Sometimes acquittal is the right decision. If you are actually interested in the evidence presented, here is a good summary of the evidence (I admit that the…

Those federal laws are in place to protect all students. Rape victims included. You can't have it both ways. Either student records are private or they're not. Also, he was acquitted in a court of law. Yes, I realize that in the court of jezebel that still makes him guilty, but at some point you do have to let…

Yuck. Ok. I legitimately believe he is a horrible person now. I was just thinking of all the teenagers who do awful, dumb things when they're teenagers, but can legitimately grow up to be good people. Does not sound like him.

Ugg. Horrible person confirmed then. I was just hoping it was a really awful teenage mistake (i.e. wasn't raised right, was part of a really bad group of peers, etc.). Sounds like it was not.

I'm not sure if you're right. Generally, if someone commits a crime when they're 16 nobody else will know about it. They're considered a juvenile, the records are sealed, and the rest of their life may be unaffected if they reform. That doesn't mean they should not be punished for their crimes, but the judicial…

Were there other assaults after he got out of his teens? I kind of have a tendency to forgive teenagers who were terrible people. There's a reason that the state has different sentences for children vs. adults (yes, I know they tried him as an adult). That doesn't mean he should not have gotten punished, but I do…

Well, it's a bit encouraging when looking at the differences between ages. It looks like the youngest group is the least racist, if you assume "racism" = thinking the grand jury decisions in the Brown and Garner cases were correct.

I still would like to know the demographics of the poll, though. I always find it interesting to know not just what races, but also age groups, think about certain topics. I have this hope that the younger generation is getting better about racism and understanding things like institutionalized racism is just as…

Really? I had no idea. I've never been called regarding a survey and just assumed it was because of that.

Right, but the people who were polled via cellphone are also not technologically competent enough to put their name on the no-call list. I'm not saying the poll is wrong. I absolutely believe it. But I would be interested in the demographics of the respondents, other than race (age particularly).

Yeah, I think there are more people who have been negatively affected by the fact that Rolling Stone published this story than just future and current rape victims. I think your point is that there are actually real people who have already been negatively affected and it might be nice to acknowledge them as well as…

But, I thought white people discussing their own white privilege was really good progress. How many times have white people ignored the fact that white privilege even exists? Why is it a bad thing that white people are finally willing to not only acknowledge white privilege, but discuss it with real world examples?

Yes, the children should be educated because the police don't understand constitutional rights. In lieu of educating the adults going around shooting unarmed children and teenagers, we should definitely be educating little kids about toy guns instead. Because, you know, toy guns are so much more dangerous than the…

I'm not doubting your training. I'm doubting the equipment available to you should there be an emergency. I guess my question to you is this: how close to a hospital do your patients have to be for you to feel comfortable? When certain pregnancy emergencies arise, my understanding is that you have to move quickly…

Yeah. I would want a hospital. If I accidentally get pregnant, I will require one.

I wasn't suggesting that they were. I was saying that my understanding of mortality rates for pregnancy is that they are still pretty high in general (i.e., pregnancy is a risky endeavor).
