This means he'll be given a chance to defend himself in front of the Grand Jury and a chance to argue in front of the prosecutor that he shouldn't be charged if the Grand Jury returns an indictment. In other words, early days. After he's been charged, and after the indictment has been...

What the name of the trafficker and how did this rando dude get his own exclusive, live-in prostitute? Kinda like how you'd rather not distance yourself from incoherent accusations. She's providing this guy with his own personal prostitute to pay off someone else? You sticking with that...

It was obvious the reporters and the community believed she knew he was raping her kid. So do I. As I posted earlier, she needed to be charged, too, but won't be, because mothers are fetishized in our society.

Moms sexually abuse their children every day. Go ahead, ask me about mine. But you won't find me accusing you of child sexual abuse because evidence doesn't work like that. Because what my mom did doesn't have any bearing on you. For the very same reason, you don't accuse a woman in Ohio of...

I can't say for sure why you keep repeating this obvious fabrication, but the clear implication is a hatred for immigrants. There's no evidence for this whatsoever, and it makes no logical sense. Why would the woman pay an illegal immigrant because he was allowed into the US? There are...

You might want to consider knowing something about what you're talking about before talking about it.

It's noteworthy that this question should arise in where a mother was proven complicit in the sexual abuse of her ten year old daughter. The direct answer to your question is "everywhere." Obviously. In most of the world, even where parents are strictly revered, teachers are even more...

Teachers are more trustworthy than parents.

On rare occasions, approaching none, I encounter someone so adamantly averse to the theory of evolution that no conversation is possible beyond, "Thank you for your thoughts." But in the vast majority of cases, they readily agree with all of the major mechanisms. They agree that different...

Like too many of us still inhabiting this forum, most mornings as I creak my way up toward vertical, I feel the same about gravity. It's not the theory, it's the consequences. But you'll never hear me blaming God for it, mostly because I don't believe in any gods that don't have at least that...

In distinction from posts approving of the inappropriate application of Bible verses ... I believe AV was fully responsive and on topic in the above post. In speaking of the validity of evolution as a theory, he accepts that there is such a theory. Moreover, he notes, correctly, that the...

God's against you on this one. “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts ...

Microevolution, or so it seems to me, is a mechanism that slowly builds distance between descendants of an ancestral species, like ships sailing from a common port. The communication that is possible in the near term using flags and pennants will eventually become ineffective as the ships...

If folks will pardon my late arrival, I'd like to be sure I'm still tracking with the o/p. You always want to stick with agreed-upon definitions, but this one is troublesome. There's evolution, which we all agree occurs, and the theory of evolution, which encompasses both the processes by...

I know this is from a couple months ago, but it encapsulates an idea that's always seemed so obvious to me. We know evolution occurs, and we know the process is sufficient for speciation, so why exactly would a speculative creator of species leave that tool sitting on the shelf? It's like a...

I’ve been following the case closely on another board. I’m also personally familiar with the experiences of a child victim of abuse placed in foster care by DCFS in Illinois, called to testify privately in the judge’s chambers as a witness in the associated criminal case many years ago. That’s...

As a child, she wrote to a WWII vet. He carried the letter everywhere, and 12 years later, they finally met. Dashauna Priest still recalls sitting in her third-grade classroom 12 years ago in Lorain, Ohio, writing a heartfelt thank-you letter to a World War II veteran whom she did not know. At...

Relevant to the o/p (tassman? ... this is taoist/lao tzu/Juvenal now), Creationism may be a gateway drug to climate denial and anti-vaxxing, but it dead centers the Ken Millers and Francis Collinses and sundry otherwise conservative Christians they should instead be celebrating and using as...

There are hospital beds available, but he needed an ICU, and there wasn't one available for him in Alabama, so he ended up dying in Mississippi. To be scrupulous, it could be he would have died anyway. We'll never know. But we do know the same thing is happening in Idaho, where they're now...
