That's as loving a tribute as a tumblr screengrab blog of Miyazaki's wikipedia page (which may or may not exist).

See? Yeah, that's the thing about helping the countries in Africa and other Third World countries. Billions and billions pour in. Year after year. I give. You give. Changes are incremental at best. It's so frustrating. Why give if it's going to wind up in some Swiss bank account? Man, everybody everywhere wanted Haiti coming out of its disaster a better place for everyone there, and yet, four years later and billions and billions of support dollars later, people are still living in make-shift tents, roads are muddy and some impassible, people are hungry and thirsty.

What can one person do other than offer financial help? But what if that financial help is used for other things? It's heartbreaking.

The Stranger should put out a call to interview those Bank of America trolls; guarantee them anonymity if they need it.

I hear there's a football game today.

I find it so strange that so many adults think stronger punishments will deter teens from doing stupid stuff. Teens don't think of consequences first, and if they did they wouldn't do the stupid crap in the first place.

Turning sexting into a conviction child pornography isn't going to make any teen stop and consider consequences when all the possibilities of public humiliation didn't already.

The BC case isn't really sexting, despite the media's insistence. Sexting is about intent to arouse. She was bullying using dirty pictures, because her BF wouldn't cut ties with his ex.

Still not child porn, but perhaps something more deserving of punishment than teens sexting each other.

@9 I was thinking this. It was sending pictures of not her, not her boyfriend, but her boyfriend's ex girlfriend.

What a bitch.

@7,

As previously stated by others: It's not about sexting. It's about revenge porn and bullying.
