I'm right there with ya friend. Who clicks through to an article these days?... Unless it's really detailed and important, or your curious.
Good posts on forums like these include noteworthy info in titles and posts, then include the links to source, for reference or further reading.
*Some D's are enemies to the WC, not D's are the enemy of the WC. Even some R's can be WC allies, or can be in certain situations.
Please be careful with those absolutes. Thanks
Because ultimately people want our society to progress, get better, so that the quality of their lives can improve.
Holding back our progress isn't healthy.
Reverting to less functional practices is dumb.
These are basically our political choices any time we vote on something that's not purely about the methods we employ to achieve necessary tasks.
Evolve, remain stagnate, or devolve/regress.
Can't you call and report any road blockage or misuse.
I mean traffic cops may not get there in time, or may not care at the moment due to higher priority tasks, but aren't they still reportable by default as long as they are illegal?
Tight! I had a VB, but I don't think it lasted a year.
It was really fun though as a kid.
I don't care for VR at all as an adult though.
Kinda interesting thinking back on that.
Kid me goes 'oh neat!' adult me goes 'ug, can we just go to a park or build something instead'
Luckily they list estimate read times at the top of the book pages, so you can dive into some short reads to get a feel for authors and content.
I read mostly non-fiction, but if you're down for sci-fi:
H G Wells Invisible Man is a short favorite of mine.
And Edgar Rice Burroughs has a bunch of fun shorter stories, many are part of a Martian Series, which the movie John Carter was based on (one of my and my SOs fav comfort movies).
There's a distinct difference between how some of these terms are used depending on context. There is biological status and then there is legal status.
So be careful where & when you take issue.
Here, legal terms are appropriate due to the subject matter, and you should definitely suggest to the authors that they adjust the terms used accordingly.
Just complaing to the ether may be cathartic, but inaction is also complicit.
However teen is a teen regardless of context, as it's a designation of age group, not a legal or biological classification. So it's up to the reader to determine relevance of the teens age beyond that.
Not exactly, it doesn't mean the fed can just do whatever it wants, it means lower laws can't overrule higher ones, and puts the fed in the position to moderate conflicts between lower laws or contracts between parties that fall under federal law.
The fed doesn't have a law that specifically allows for the inhuman treatment of detanies, it has a law against it.
Local laws can be made more strict than fed laws, so long as they don't violate constitutional protections.
So the state or county or city, whichever is relevant, can't pass and maintain specific laws pertaining to the quality of human detainment facilities, and anyone in the territory, even the fed, would be legally obligated to respect that law.
However they could just buy a facility where they were welcome instead. Then the other territories law wouldn't apply.
Error... Please disregard.
Well, it's technically true. Pedophilia, attraction to children (prepubescent youths), is generally best addressed with acknowledgement, treatment, and management.
Sexual assault, and rape, and predator practices are the crimes identified pedophiles are typically found participating in if their attraction to kids isn't addressed appropriately beforehand.
Ya'll don't really think being attracted to kids is a crime itself do you? Or that there aren't thousands, or tens of thousands, of people out there that are attracted to kids and just don't act on it, or haven't been identified?
Pedophilia, though specific in nature, is a similar subject to mental health in general, in how it's treated by society. As it becomes more acceptable to admit to having mental health conditions, the instances of those conditions leading to dire circumstances dimishes.
Be more proactive, and less reactive.
Note: though it should be clear enough, I do want to specifically state that this message in no way promotes or supports criminal actions taken towards children or knowingly disregarding such actions if the assailants are rich, or any other such nonsense.
Like being tall, or black, or gay, being a pedophile is a state of being, not an action, and people should not be attacked for their state of being, full stop. Crimes they commit are another matter entirely.
I think I read this somewhere before.
However, it might just be that I'm remembering my own personal experience with reality.
Hard to tell for sure.
