But the world's his oyster.

As if they have the physical or mental capacity to hold a door open for anyone, amirite?

I like Stannis in both and think the show Stannis is a pretty good book Stannis. He does have the strongest "legitimate" claim to the throne, but takes it too far. He doesn't play the game well at all, and doesn't negotiate but just demands fealty because of his claim. His platform is "I am...

Season start was kind of iffy, I'm on 9 now and pretty dang good. I need to rewatch S1 to compare, though. Lots of lesbo action, and the asian girl... I love it when they cry

Pretty much. Let's move forward.

I don't know what the argument is either. Serves me right for even reading Keg's posts. In his post he seemed to be implying that the right to vote is not in the constitution. I was simply showing him he is wrong on that point. It had nothing to do with whether it's a blanket right or can be...

You mean does it specifically spell out that the right to vote is actually a right? It doesn't need to. If that's the criteria we wouldn't have most of our rights. The 26th covers it pretty well, too. Voting: Right or Privilege? - Garrett Epps - The Atlantic

This should read "the science on the issue". Consensus is a word made up by the media which really helps drive debate. Science doesn't care about consensus. Scientists don't care about it either - they're not performing tests to be a part of the consensus of the cool kids. The science we've...

Do you know which right appears most often in the Constitution? Give you a hint: "Right to vote"

Global Warming : Feature Articles

If there weren't certain stigmas around late 30s guys writing to 12 year old I wouldn't feel bad about it, especially if I could be a positive influence for them, In stead of people telling them they'll never be anything but attempted murderers who will never be right in the head, which is...

I like how some are saying these kids will definitely go out and try to murder again. You do realize that serial murderers comprise less than 1 percent of all murders in the US? Not only that, the chances of females being serial killers are less than male killers, but y'all keep up wanting to...

Preventing Cable Company Fuckery. I like it.

Is this true? Omw.

The only two options: 1)Kill them 2) Let them free

The majority of the mistakenly convicted and then killed people are black, so it's not that big of a deal.

Busy day...There are plenty of other studies out there as well Here's one study (granted it is for robbery/burglary): The Comparative Advantage of Juvenile Versus Criminal Court Sanctions on Recidivism among Adolescent Felony Offenders - FAGAN - 2008 - Law Policy - Wiley Online Library Also...

I believe it's been pretty well proven through numerous studies that when children are sent through the juvenile process, with its focus on rehabilitation, they absolutely do better than if they had gone through the adult court system. Repeat offenses, especially, go down compared to when they...

I know the 4 year old example was ridiculous when speaking specifically about this case, but it was going against whoever said that anyone that kills another person should be killed/locked up,period. What I find interesting is the whole "some people are just monsters, get them away from...

I know it's been mentioned, but I rewatched this tonight and it's still a great fuggin movie

I understand that, and 12 is not as developed as 18, which is an adult. They cannot vote, drive, join the army, buy cigarettes, decide who they can have sex with, if they have to go to school or not, or anything else that only adults can do. If you think 12 years old understand enough about the...

No, the point is they are 12 and not fully adults. Just like the 4 year-old who shot his dad and is wondering what happened to him, they are not developed enough to be tried in the adult system. The adult criminal justice system is dumb anyway. You guys saying we should execute them are...

Talk about having no empathy or compassion Ariz. Boy, 4, Accidentally Shoots, Kills Father - ABC News This kid needs the death penalty! But for these kids, based on the article, at least one definitely appears to be mentally ill. There's nothing to say a 12 year-old needs to be locked away...

a) They're kids. b) I never endorsed not giving help to the other millions of people.

Does premeditation vs. moment of passion make a difference between adult vs. juvenile? Are adults who murder in passion tried as juveniles? Thinking ahead isn't a sign of adulthood. Ask any parent of a 12-year old if they consider their children to be "small adults" in decision-making ability...

Thread is moving fast, but have you tried talking to her? As in, "Hey, You used to love going to the gym, but I noticed you haven't gone since the wedding. Is something wrong?" Also try some outdoor activities to get her sparked again. Do you guys still go out on "dates"? Don't let the...

So is Jail better than Psychological help here? I guess that's my beef with charging her as an adult. Dude, this 12 year old has issues and tried to kill a friend - we need to send her to adult prison for most of her life - that will fix her and keep her away from any other malevolent influences.

PBR is a hipster beer, but calling it a craft beer?

Going to side on not charging as adults. They're 12. They're neither socially nor cognitively developed enough to really understand their actions and consequences outside of the "it's wrong to kill people" that's been drilled into their heads - but they don't know why it's wrong yet. Like...

Makes me think of the classic scene from:

They're right outside Mereen iirc. WoW has the battle of slaver's bay in it...either during, or aftermath, is when it's assumed they'll meet...though she did save Tyrion's life unknowingly when they reopened the gladiator pits.

They skipped the part from the books where Gregor kills a boy during the duel. Good episode though. Glad my wish was answered with seeing messandei or whatever her name is naked. Looking forward to jorah and tyrion scenes next season.

3.2M so far. Guess people give all their money to preachers on Sundays as backing took a huge drop today, comparatively. Backing for the mug, me. I'd get a T-shirt, but I have a feeling bunch of hipster kids who know nothing about it will start wearing them.

The app right now is free to download and has 1 free book and some videos. 9.99/month is the current cost, or 29.99 for 6 months, which gives unlimited access to hundreds of books and videos. With the KS money, RR wants to expand the platforms it supports to include Android, consoles, and...

This has been brought up in several threads already. LeVar Burton bringing back Reading Rainbow. A noble effort. Or is it? WP saying maybe not so much. This Reading Rainbow would be a for-profit company, and would not be bringing back the TV show, but expanding his current Reading Rainbow...

You guys are spending way too much time arguing over what is and isn't rape. I suggest, being Saturday night and all, some field study is in order; then post your findings in one of the I did/didn't get laid threads.
