New Gun Enthusiast....
Since our completely non-functioning government is never going to do anything about America's gun problem, I'll settle for the next most effective strategy. No guns will ever be in my house, and I won't spend time with people who have guns. I figure that ups my chances of dying of old age by about 500%.

It's Spring! Who's Ready for Street Harassment?.
The hit-and-run nature of this particular assholery is especially irritating. Nothing ruins your day faster than having to go through instant replay over and over, imagining all the things you wish you had said. Sorry this happened to you, Cienna. I wish it didn't happen to every woman on earth on a ridiculously regular basis.

SL Letter of the Day: Today's DTMFA.
God. If lesbians weren't allowed to stay friends with our exes, none of us would have any friends. What does it matter? If there was something there, they wouldn't be exes. Some people really need to get over themselves.

In the Wake of Harassment, Rape Video Star Is Sorry About Misogynist Comments.
Maybe if these 18-year-old psychopaths were forced to face the consequences of their monstrosity, they would at least be less smug in their celebration of human torture. I don't care what happens to these "boys". They have forfeited all sympathy. My concern is entirely on the girl whose life they marred. Try them as adults, and let them pay the price. They are people, not hamsters, and they knew what they were doing. They just didn't care.

Hard Candy and the Rape Crew.
The most savage of the "rape crew" who raped the woman to death on a bus in India was a minor. Guess we should just have a strongly-worded conversation with his parents.
Shame the hell out of these bastards, and then lecture the media to forgive them if and when they become responsible and decent adults.

Nancy Thinks We're Being Too Mean to People with Guns.
Good point, @23. Imagine if we got as collectively hysterical over "car control" as some of us do over "gun control". No brakes! No steering! Don't violate my right to drive a semi truck through a school zone at 60 mph! And by the way, School Zone?? That's like an invitation to fast, reckless, drunken driving! We need more fast, reckless, sober drivers to counteract the drunk ones!

Indian Women Are Still Protesting Their Culture of Rape.
@#18, I wasn't suggesting how you dress or act were contributing factors. I was referring to personal safety - the whole walking alone in a bad neighborhood argument. Obviously that doesn't apply if a woman is attacked in her own home, or by an acquaintance she trusted, but it doesn't mean it's bad advice.
