Actually, depending on if that nice man breaks any laws, he may find an actual judge may judge him.

Yeah it says you can't harass kids because of that kid's parent's employment. How does this have anything to do with rich vs poor? or are you assuming poor people can't be employed? Class discrimination and all that?

They do get the same rights. Nowhere does this law have anything to say about the fact that most of these kids are kids of actors. There's absolutely nothing in this law about classes of people.

Read some of the stories about how the paparazzi act towards kids. I am all for this law, and it should have been done long ago.

This is exactly the issue...no one will stand up for actors but themselves, exactly because of this attitude you have... There seems to be this idea that once you become rich and famous, you should check your rights in at the door and forget having a normal life. That's crap, actors know it, and while many thrive on

I have absolutely no issue with it. It's a privilege to be wealthy and privileged...but there seems to be this idea that these people are not people, and that's just wrong. No one is trying to lay in wait for your kids to photograph them, but it's easy to see how any kid could easily be repeatedly traumatized by

I actually don't get this. You might be attacked in South Central at 2am, but most likely not because you are wearing a Wham! shirt.

They go up.

Except that getting people off the street who would otherwise commit crimes is not "jackshit." It's not a minimal thing; in fact it is and should be the primary reason to put people in prison.

But they have the same effect: getting the perp off the street. Why is this so hard to understand?

"I believe prisons should reduce crime. (I suspect and hope you do too. If you don't actually believe they should, please fire yourself into space and go live on some other planet.) What we disagree on is the method."

I'm not concerned with what many pridoners think about what society thinks of them. You fall into the camp of folks who believe that the primary goal of prison is to rehabilitate prisoners, and I understand that, but I disagree. Prison is equally for punishment.

Actually, there's a study that shows that Zebras are striped the way they are because it screws up the ability of flies and other insects to land on them. They don't know why yet but it appears to be a successful evolutionary trait.

But there's no doubt that prison "chic" is a thing.

I dunno. If you think prison is for rehabilitation, then yes. But many people, myself included, believe that an important purpose of prison is punishment. You remove people from being productive members of society for long enough, and the idea is that for at least some people, when they get out they won't do

It's my understanding they forced them to wear pink jumpsuits for a while, although I have never seen photos of these.

It's actually both. It is possible to rub one's stomach while patting one's head, you know.

That one actually kind of bothers me, because the implication is that lust for a woman is the seat of temptation and sin, an idea that was all too common and part of a society where women were second class citizens.

That's pretty straightforward, if you think about it. Normally you'd make stockings for your kids feet; in this case you are making babies so the stockings will have feet to slip into them. It's a fancy way to say "making babies."

All you need is to make sure to carry it to your outdoor event in one of these:
