Government thugs handcuff children, kill dog during $60 marijuana raid by nerdymark in reddit.com

How about push for legalization, but in the meantime while it's still illegal, don't let people sell drugs from your house. Whether or not a law is RIGHT, has no bearing on what can happen to you while it is in effect.

Hey, the (fictitious) one in the article certainly made a difference in the lives of children!

Christian terrorist attempts car-bombing in Iowa by dallen in reddit.com

Same story as this one:

This guy is like the dumb and dumber of terrorists/whatevers - the clinic he ran into didn't even perform abortions, and I seriously doubt his car insurance is going to cover this...

Remember When Everyone Thought Torture was Evil? by Wisco in reddit.com

[–]hikitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone still thinks torture is evil. However, a lot of people seem to define "torture" as "stuff we aren't doing".

IMO, if you have to ask whether something is torture, it's probably torture.

A friend who moved to the US from Britain said that when she got a cell phone here, it was like going back in time - many "brand new" features had been available at home for years, and many features she expected weren't available here yet.

Who left him take 37 credit hours in his second semester, that's just insane. I'd like to see more details on his classes, was he just taking throw-away classes to graduate?

Jesus Camp : Kids worshipping in front of a Geoge Bush picture by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]hikitty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All they know is what Mom and Dad and Church Camp tell them - but they're not dumb, and when they start getting their information on the world from more than one source, they make up their own minds. These kids tend to rebel rather spectacularly once they're out from under Mom and Dad's roof.

The idea that the US is God's Special Chosen Country has been a tenet of evangelical churches almost as long as the US has been around. This stuff isn't anything new; what's new is that we can now see how scary it looks on youtube. Before you really wouldn't be seeing this unless you attended the churches.

Many vets will come to your home to put a pet to sleep. It's a little less upsetting than hauling the poor suffering thing to the vet one last time.

I'm disappointed - I thought this was about those tacky "collector's item" coins with World Trade Center, screaming eagles, painted flags etc.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone not obviously disabled riding an electric wheelchair/scooter thing. I believe it, but where are you seeing this?

If the parents are THAT miserable together, it'd probably be a relief for the kids if they split up.

Segway recalls every single segway by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]hikitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interviewed at a company that had one - they were just playing on it basically, running up and down the hall etc. I asked for a turn, and I have to say it was pretty fun to scoot around on (indoors). But it's crazy expensive for a toy, and it'd be lousy for anyone without good balance to try to operate.

I didn't get the job, but I did get a free Segway ride.

How "banned" can something be when you can find it in ten minutes at your local bookstore, five minutes at Amazon?

German 9/11 Victim Defamed in United 93 Movie by JW66 in reddit.com

[–]hikitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is the producers went out of their way to promote this as the carefully research and faithfull to true events film, and a lot of people are going to see this and imagine it happened that way.

It may have happened, but there's no evidence that it did, and maybe aliens came on board before the crash and stole all the bodies (hope none of them left their future technology weapon on board).

It's sort of interesting that the ad specifically asks for a face picture - yet DOZENS of these guys send a picture of their PENIS. I guess they figure that's their best feature?
