    10 year old mom-Spain

    Perhaps I should better explain what I mean when I say that I simply don't know how I feel about this case. Today we put our values on societies around the world. 200 years ago it was common practice to marry young. I don't believe there was ever a time when this would have been accepted, but...

    Son dresses as Daphne from Scooby Doo for party

    Many people can be happy that this mom let her son wear the costume that he wanted. Many people are happy that she accepts him for who he is. There are 2 issues there. The other issue is that this mom put the son in the national spotlight and she seems to continue to push the national...

    10 year old mom-Spain

    I don't know how I feel about this story. It sounds like an arranged marriage. In her society, they get married at that young age. Looking at the case as an outsider, I disagree, but I don't know how the girl felt about being married young. I assume she would have objected if she could, but I...

    OK - Baby's body found in Muskogee Walmart bathroom

    What if this girl went into labor and gave birth in a hospital. The hospital would likely give 3 choices for what to do with the body of the baby born dead. She may have been able to choose: medical waste, bury the baby, or cremation. No one ever wants to have to make that kind of choice. Are...

    GUILTY FL - David James, 41, slain in dispute, "Stand Your Ground", Valrico, 25 Sept 2010 *probation*

    I'm posting this story because police say no charges will be filed. Where is the justice? "VALRICO — David James was enjoying an afternoon game of basketball Sunday with his 8-year-old daughter when he was shot and killed in front of her by a neighbor trying to chase away skateboarders, said...

    PHOENIX (AP) - An Arizona school principal who penned a sarcastic letter that chided

    Parts of the letter are hilarious. Making fun of parents that make every excuse for their child...funny. There are choices that people can make in there life. If people choose to do stupid things, there is often humor to be found. Making fun of disabilities is inappropriate.

    Tiny toy gun nearly gets boy suspended

    I'm with the school on this one. The boy was taken to the principle. A meeting was called with the parents. That is what should happen when a student breaks a no weapons rule. At that point it was deemed further action wasn't required.

    Woman & Newborn Triplets Found Dead

    It was the mom and the mom's husband living with their daughter (now deceased) and the two grandkids. This is a sad story. I doubt she knew that she had triplets if she hid the pregnancy. I can see how an unassisted birth could cause you to bleed to death with triplets. The thing that makes...

    4-year-old boy suspended for hair length

    I don't think anyone ever stated whether this is a public or private school. At age 4, I'd have to guess a private preschool. Private schools have the right to set the rules. You obey or you don't attend. If this is a public school the situation gets trickier.

    The Woman Who Shut Up Simon Cowell

    Thank you so much for posting the 5 part story. I smiled, I cried, and I just feel better about all of the crazy things going on in my life. Sometimes it takes a moment to realize once again that all of the important things in life are so simple.

    Search crew working to free man stuck in cave

    I always wanted to go to Nutty Putty and to go through that same tight area. Back in the day, I was smaller and could have fit without trouble. Now, I wouldn't even think about it. This is one of the few cases where I don't blame him or say it was a "bad choice" as so many people went through...

    DC - They did it for the show - Couple Crashes White House Dinner

    Thanks for the offer - I think... I went to the White House many years ago with a school group. I'd like to get tickets to go back, but they are much harder to come by these days. Instead of crashing a party, I'd settle for tickets to the annual Easter Egg roll. Anyone have tickets to the 2010...

    Army Mom Refuses Deployment

    Here's the text from that poster that claims to be in the unit. " First - the unit isn’t in Iraq. It’s in Afghanistan - please check the first sentence of this article. And the person who is complaining about Iraq - have you been there? Have you seen the good our Army is doing? Doubtful. But...

    DC - They did it for the show - Couple Crashes White House Dinner

    The thing that I find frustrating is the number of posters that seem to think picking and choosing when laws should apply is ok. Is it ok for you or me to crash the White House? Is it ok for a terrorist? Why should laws apply to some people and not others?
