i don't understand the people calling her a murderer when the one fact clearly stated in the article is that the baby died before taking it's first breath
and she obviously did not get any help while she slept in the streets all those months, and obviously is uninsured- where could she have gone? and sleeping on the streets worrying about where your next meal is coming from, trying to keep warm, and trying not to be raped/murdered, how was she supposed to track down any helpful resources?
there is always more to a story than what is immediately apparent. jumping to conclusions and condemning a woman without the facts doesn't help the situation.
in any case, this is a pitiable tragedy on all sides.

this is so unbelievably sad. at 13 their lives are ended without ever having experienced anything worthwhile. it's such a sad and tragic waste. i understand their desperation though- kids can be vicious.
i was bullied severely off and on during my childhood- being disabled, poor, confused, socially awkward, and chubby took its toll socially. i also had a mother who was busy working and a stepfather who enjoyed his own creative forms of bullying whenever he came home. there wasn't really anywhere for me to turn for help.
this is the advice i got when i was in school, and although i became an expert at ignoring things, it really didn't work. they just got more and more determined to get a reaction out of me (constantly knocking things off of my desk, etc).
i remember, though, that one particular bully tried to get me in trouble for cheating off of his test... the teacher took up both of our papers, and ended up openly mocking the bully because #1- i was much farther along in the test than he was and #2- MY answers were actually correct. ha.

huh? who does that? i'm american and have honestly never encountered that before...?
as for hugging- i actually like a hug here and there, but i am never sure about other people so i never initiate it. my family is not very touchy-feely, so i've never been quite sure when hugs are supposed to happen... then the moment passes and is gone. sad really. good old social awkwardness!

unnatural for most people perhaps, but apparently there are many people very happy in both 'open' and 'polyamorous' relationships. and the relationship between these three people seems to qualify as a polyamorous one.
i don't see anything wrong with it, either, so long as all parties are happy with the relationship. who you love really is no one's business.
but that doesn't, of course, excuse the rampant drug use with a child around who needed to be cared for.

i am not a prude in any way, and i don't feel it is anyone's place to make declarative moral judgments about this woman or what she is wearing...
however... that is one freaking ugly, unattractive outfit. are they really serious? they can't think that makes her look good in any way. what a waste of inherent sexiness.
one more thing- there is no reason for that woman to be on a diet. that is just insanity.

if you read the books, you'll notice that the aount of action/ danger/ excitement increases with the age/ maturity levels of the characters.
the classics weren't always so classic, every one had to start somewhere. of course, what is or isn't a 'classic' is a matter of personal opinion.
as for the movie, finally saw it tonight- it was very well done and well acted, although if you haven't already read the books you may be a bit lost. considering the relative length of books as compared to movies, it is inevitable that things get left out.

they will be disappointed when they finally get husbands and realize that it hasn't solved any of their problems, and in fact has added many new ones. life isn't 'happily ever after'

i have a fondness for this guy because he was the 'fairy' in proposal daisakusen, very cute show :)
? also, why are successful people in the entertainment industry always called 'sellouts'? isn't that the whole point- to be successful and get paid for your work?

there is something that strikes me as very sad about all of these groping incidents. of course it's frightening for the victims... but it seems that some basic human need (and not just the need for sex) is not being met, which creates people desperate for human touch at any cost.
sorry, i'm probably just over-thinking it because i am tired. it just makes me kind of sad. where is the 'free hugs campaign' when you need them ;)?

this article seems to imply that sex after 45 is only for men (& younger women)... what about older ladies? they don't get to have fun too? i'll be really bitter when i'm older if that's true ;P

well, maybe they'll at least be smaller than regular ear buds- every brand i've tried has been too big for my wee ear holes :(

not all zoos are bad...
the really good zoos have large open air enclosures designed to be as close as possible to the animal's natural habitat. and they are not just tourist attractions- they are research stations where various species can be more closely studied, a base from which people can attempt to create breeding populations of endangered animals, and a place for injured animals to recuperate before being released back into the wild.
