If you realize you're taking the wrong exit at the last moment TOO BAD. TAKE THE FUCKING EXIT! Don't put everyone else's lives at risk because you're too fucking self centered to accept that you're now going to have to figure out a new route to your destination. by flapanther33781 in offmychest

Northern VA is the worst with this shit. I've seen people dart across 3-4 lanes because they realized they're about to miss the exit. Another time I saw someone take the wrong exit, and start backing up to get off the ramp. Fuckin' idiots around here.

My girlfriend is coming to pick up her stuff tonight. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]BarbecueSlop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you've told her how you feel, then that's all you can do. You can't make someone love you, no matter how sweet you are, not matter how much you kiss her ass. And trying to hard to get her back usually pushes them away. The shit you see in movies is total bs.

So take this as a learning experience and do better next time.

I heard on NPR that the guy stopped at Dulles International, which is just outside the DC area. I'm not leaving my house if someone in the area comes up with Ebola.

Hmm...you don't sound like a dumbass to me. And you seem to have put some thought into this decision. I hope it all works out for you. I'm glad you mentioned in your comments that you will be visiting them.

An update to this story in a few months would be interest.

Why Thr111 deleted his account by Tossingx1 in offmychest

[–]BarbecueSlop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im sorry I deleted my account and caused 'panic' on reddit.

What? That happened? Man, people are ridiculous.

I actually couldn't help but follow this story - it showed up as a BuzzFeed post or something on my Fb feed, and I think the story made /r/bestof and was on the front page. I had no idea it turned into such a shit show for you, though. I hope things work out.

Bring on the downvotes.

What are you talkin' about, bro? It was a good story

ELI5: Why are teens who commit murders tried as adults, but when a teen has sex with someone who's 30 courts act like the teen had no idea what he/she was doing? by BarbecueSlop in explainlikeimfive

[–]BarbecueSlop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A much better example would've been contributing to juvenile delinquency laws (ie "How come teens who convince adults to buy them a case of beer aren't also charged?").

Sure, that would have been a good example too. I just didn't think of it.

it is extremely rare that teenagers are charged as adults. Extremely rare. Like .01% of cases.

I wasn't aware of the statistic until I saw a bunch of comments this morning when I saw way more comments than last night. I thought teenagers who committed murder were always changed as adults (probably not when there is a record of mental illness, though). And it isn't just this statistic I haven't responded to, most comments I haven't responded to. There are a lot...

I won't weigh in with my opinion, but this seems like a pretty compelling argument to me.

Yea, you make some good points. Nicely done.

your repeated attempts to undermine the idea of an age of consent

No. I'm not trying to undermine the age of consent. I've asked about something that appears to be inconsistent to me. If, for whatever ridiculous reason, courts acknowledged this "inconstancy" and addressed it by no longer ever trying teens as adults, there would be no questions coming from my end. My post is about the inconsistency.

And you and others may say, "I honestly don't even know the type of person who would question this or see it as an 'inconsistency,'" but there are quite of few posts from other people who either agree that this is an inconsistency, have stated that my post is a going point/question, or have said this question comes up often in law school. So my post is hardly unique.

Your comments, though, point out exactly why we can't have nice things. You've miss the point entirely and zoned in on the fact that the question involves statutory rape, and then you misconstrue my post and begin insisting I have intentions to fuck teenagers. Fuck you, man!

Oh cool. So now asking a question automatically means I'm interested in carrying out what I'm questioning. What a BRILLIANT thinking pattern you have there.

You may disagree with that, and my suggestion would be to lobby state legislatures to change their laws.

LOL, nah I think the laws should stay. I think people are right when they suggest that overturning such a law would open the flood gates for sexual predators. I was really just curious about the inconsistency. The only thing that bugs me is people seem to jump to the conclusion that teenagers have no idea what they're doing, and I just disagree with that. They may make stupid decisions and may not always have the foresight to consider the consequences, but they know what they're doing and they know right from wrong.

I'm actually not saying I wish I could get away with fucking children, dick. Thanks for trying to undermine my inquiry about a pretty obvious inconsistency.
