When people who are so anti-pot accept the reality that alcohol causes way more problems for individuals and families that pot ever has or ever will and start calling for the criminalization of alcohol - then I'll listen to what they have to say. Until then they're just hypocrites talking…

Isn't any knife potentially lethal if you stab someone hard enough and enough times?

So they handed out blankets. Big, stinking deal! Who got robbed, conned, beaten or murdered so they had the money to pay for those blankets? That technique is as old as the hills and has been tried on by every dictator from Peron passing out televisions to the poor to…

Obviously a lot of the posters today are not big Sex in the City fans or they'd know a bit more about Patricia Field. She's well into her 60's and opened her first boutique in 1966. She is well famous for her flamboyant outfits and eccentricity. She's also the unseen…

Pukey2: I agree 100%! In reality I care less about the lyrics than the volume at which they're being blasted. If I go to a shop or restaurant where the music is too damn loud, so loud that I can barely hear the person with whom I'm speaking, I politely…

The woman was 22 when she had her baby. That is hardly a case of a "kid having a kid". That is old enough to have finished university and begun a career. It is old enough to have been in the military for 4 years and to have been eligible…

serendipity: Not to be rude but I'm not sure why my having or not having children would have any bearing on what I wrote. Nor does that fact that you had children make you an expert on either children or post partum depression. Again, if you think that common sense…

serendipity: You're right to question why a society wouldn't try and take care of people who are having emotional difficulties but I disagree with any implication that Japan is worse in terms of this problem. Post partum depression is recognized in many cultures as being a real problem. In Japan…

I feel sorry for the woman if she was really so depressed as to do something like this but I still think she should be charged with murder. All parents or guardians who kill their kids while attempting suicide should be charged with murder and if the parent was successful…

That's really too bad especially after all the hours and hours of training that she put into it and the excellent shot she had of winning. She's not too old to give it another shot in 4 years.
