Just when I thought I heard some stupid nonsense, I read that article about free-range parenting. I'm like wtf is this? Read the article, wtf? Umm, wtf?

I thought it was going to be about some hippies who their kids roam free in the backyard naked eating dirt.

I always wanted someone to tell a Grizzly to its face that you have "dominion" over it and that "its property".

And then I want to hear the agonizing screams.

Like how "free-range parenting*" is a crime!


*it was just called "parenting" when I was a child; "parenting" today is what was called "helicopter parenting, aka: turning your child into a helpless, spoiled mama's boy".

Of course, this does go both ways. All the people insisting on their open carry for "safety" are just as bad.

So if I read that info graphic correctly about 1 in 4 women will be raped !

Timothy Treadwell tried to tell bears they were his friends...

you can hear the bear breaking open his skull with his teeth on the audio tape...

You joke about "spoiled mama's boy", but I'm pretty sure parents are doing a huge disservice and handicap to their children by teaching them the world is so unnecessarily dangerous when it isn't.

Welp there goes my hope for pulling you back from the ledge. I assume you think conceal and carry laws are a bad idea because "people are so dangeous" or "there's a bunch of whackos out there"?

Senate leaders announced a deal Tuesday to move forward on a stalled human trafficking bill, clearing the way for a vote on President Barack Obama's attorney general nominee within days.

The deal unveiled on the Senate floor aimed to solve a dispute over abortion that had stalled the once-popular trafficking bill for weeks. Attorney General-designate Loretta Lynch was caught in the crossfire, infuriating Democrats, because Republican leaders decided to hold off on her confirmation vote until the trafficking bill was resolved.

"I'm glad we can say there is a bipartisan proposal that will allow us to complete action on this important legislation so we can provide help to the victims who desperately need it," said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He said he anticipated a vote on Lynch, who will become the nation's first black female attorney general, "in the next day or so."

"Let's get out of this quickly," said Democratic Leader Harry Reid. "Let's get Loretta Lynch confirmed."

Lynch was nominated last fall and Democrats have become increasingly agitated about the delays in confirming her to replace Eric Holder, even though they controlled the Senate for part of that time and failed to call her nomination up for a vote. Obama on Friday called the delays "embarrassing."

The trafficking deal aims to address Democratic concerns that the legislation would expand existing prohibitions on spending federal funds for abortions. The legislation envisions a new victims fund made up of fees paid by sex criminals, and Democrats asserted that applying abortion spending prohibitions to that new source of non-taxpayer funds was an expansion they could not accept.

Republicans had to be satisfied that abortion spending prohibitions were not curtailed.

The final language, agreed to by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., solves the problem by establishing two sources of money for the new victims' fund. Money collected from the fines assessed on criminal perpetrators would be used for services such as legal aid, but not health or medical services, and therefore language on abortion would not be relevant. Money already appropriated by Congress for Community Health Centers — and already subject to abortion spending restrictions — would be available for health and medical services.

Date rape you mean just dating ? Cause to a feminist they can't tell the difference.

All crimes are under reported. But that's irrelevant to the issue. All reported crimes have plummeted. Isn't it logical to assume unreported crime has as well?

80% of the time 100% of rapes are unreported ! See how easy that is !

Because we all wanted to hear the audio of a man dying!

Pretty sure when I read over the Boko Haram mission statement they were committed to providing the highest quality raping and pillaging this side of the 21st century.

No reason to fear the gun, only the gun owner and there isn't much reason to fear them at all (the subject at hand).

Well if history is a barometer, last time we let the French deal with something the US had to step in and play policeman so it could claim it wasn't getting into a land war in Asia.
