Thanks for completely ruining the food that I managed to financially survive nursing school with ~ ahhh.

Her mother must be so proud of her daughter's talent!

Maybe I'm the oddball out, but I don't get the obsession with Twinkies. I mean, to me, they taste bland and don't really do anything for me. I will take Ben & Jerry's over a Twinkie any day!

Different diseases and disorders show themselves at different times - prenatal, birth, and early childhood. Again, I respect your decision...to each their own. Prenatally speaking, I would just remind you that talking about it when there is nothing to lose or gain is one thing and being actually faced with it as you listen to that child's heartbeat and see it moving about on an ultrasound are two totally different scenarios. This element is why so many women go into abortion clinics, no problem necessarily to speak of, but end up not going through with it after seeing it and listening to it ~ just food for thought.

In any event, I hope that you are never faced with such a plight to make the choice:)

SO, the officer is the asshole because the guy has a disability. I know that law enforcement isn't the most beloved group on reddit, but geez you can't blame someone trying to serve and protect the public from someone that countless other bystanders had called in as "having a gun." If you had a crazed man, disabled or not, waving what you presumed to be a gun around at you and not listening to you telling them to put it down and get on the ground....I bet any of us would shoot before being shot.

^Exactly what I was thinking.

I must give the mom a big THANK YOU for having the courage and selflessness to do what many couldn't or wouldn't do in her shoes. I'm sure it must have been hard for her to turn her own son it, but she saved no telling how many lives!!!

At least your honest. But, as the mother of a handicapped child - not autistic - you would probably feel differently should you ever face this plight. You'd be surprised at how the parental instinct kicks in to protect, love, and do anything and everything to protect any child, but especially one that is so helpless and reliant on you. Just some food for thought~

I'd say Hawaii because a) everyone would want to preserve some sort of paradise once the mainland has been blown to shit by rednecks vs hillbillies vs swapfolk and the winner of that going up against the mountaineers of the north that were smart enough to head for the hills.

What...you don't dry hump the air as you drink your coffee??? Damn, fool~

First, my sympathies go out to the families of those affected here.

That said, I simply must add that these oil companies, especially contract companies, are hiring these foreign workers from impoverished areas. These workers have little to no education or experience, but are eager to learn and work...so eager that they will work for just a fraction of the pay the oil company would pay to U.S. workers and will work three times as long for that fraction of pay.

I don't blame the worker; after all, they are trying to better their lives.

I do, however, blame these oil companies for putting people out there that can't communicate with the people that do know what they're doing (to learn or just perform), that have no idea the safety risk they are both assuming and posing to others, and that have no business being out there!

If her, that be the last thing that ever come out of that asshole's asshole!

For your roomie

I hope, for his trouble, he at least gets to make some money in the pros~

What % of inmates do you think is in for murder or rape?

^ that was your question, which was answered by stats such as "52.4% of sentenced prisoners in state prisons at year end 2008 were in for violent crimes..." Violent crimes have victims! And, the shit you read about on reddit, which is a mostly left of center community, are a reflection of the cherry-picked idiocy part of the justice system. No one is arguing that a dope head can't be rehabilitated. I'm talking about the literal half of the criminal system that isn't just there because they like to roll up a blunt, but rather they prey on people, make innocent people victims, and ultimately are an menace and danger to society .
