I have no idea how people even think it's right to train dogs this way. I mean, you're basically making a monster. Guns? People don't like guns, but there is always the thing that guns don't kill unless someone pushes the trigger. Dogs though? They don't need a trigger, obviously they can make...

If it could be something I could switch in and out of, I think I'd like to be a swimmer animal, like a seal, and otter or a pinguin. Something that can go deep easily, regardless of temperatures. I was never a good swimmer, so it's just sort of... intriguing. Besides, the ocean can get you to...

This came up in my Facebook newsfeed, shared by the group Invisible People (an initiative to show people the real human face of homelessness rather than have us ignore them and then misunderstand or misjudge them, mostly) This sort of laws made a lot of noise, particularly every time that some...

Isn't that part of a racist joke where the punchline is about how they almost have their eyes closed and thus cannot see much? But I actually get that they prefer to enforce the law than to have more accidents and possibly having less tourism if they get a bad rep and all.

White people are always called lunatics rather than terrorists... Hah. But I'm pretty happy it was stopped and nobody got hurt. By the way, Canadians are no angels... It might be a "safe country" relatively, but it's still plenty of crimes, organized or not, happening all over the place. I'm...

Interesting. Where I come from, some people say you can go up to 10 or 20 km/h higher than the prescribed 100km/h if the road conditions allow it, since it's the way most cars drive anyway. Now I live in Germany, and the fact that speed limits are not everywhere makes it easier to respect them...

Yup, good that the other cops did not take any of this crap! And poor guy, the pic of him on his hospital bed... Man. I mean, if the caller had tried to talk to the guy instead of calling the police (oh no, he looked black, he must be too dangerous to talk to!) then they would have figured he...

Oh, here's more. I'm not sure why nobody is ever looking for more information on the cases coming here. Anyway, here are a few excerpts: Doubts cast on witness's account of black man killed by police in Walmart | US news | The Guardian And this other article has footage of the event but...

Well, if anyone is interested, they do have footage of the moment of the call and an article about the event (and who will be surprised to know that the guy they shot down is a young black male?): 'It was a crank call': family seeks action against 911 caller in Walmart shooting | US news | The...

Well, that's a more committed relationship than most teenagers and celebrities have 'em. I've stopped thinking of bestiality in term of "evil" and "oh my god mental illness put them away for sure" since I read an interesting AMA from a woman who did stuff like this on Reddit. I cannot find the...

Wow, I don't know any two-months old parents who send their babies to sleepovers... they rarely sleep complete nights, they wake the house up screaming in the middle of the night, they need to be rocked back to sleep, sometimes fed a bit... I don't even get the thinking process behind the "Oh...

I think you're talking about doctors, here. Because we can talk all we want about the "very high standard" to which cops are held, but most people still come up with "they are only humans, give them some slack". Whereas with doctors, the possibility that they make the tiniest of mistake means...

Ha. Some cops back home give you tickets if you spit on the street -- they tried to give on to my cousin who spit in heavy rain and my cousin got snarky, "If you can point at where the spit is I'll pay you all the fines you want." Of course, cops back home (my home) are way more friendly than...

I think it should be only enforced in situations where the walker does not realize he's doing something stupid -- like jaywalking in a tight curb or a few meters away from an intersection -- in places where a car would not even see the person walking through the road, and thus it would be harder...

Of course, not all kids are smart or have a cool-headed sense of maturity. But in an ideal world, that would be for the parents to judge. I'm not for irresponsible gun ownerships, but to pretend that kids cannot be taught responsibility themselves is a bit silly. But then again, I think kids...

Hahhaha. I've seen this behaviour from soldiers, and even saw pics of Israeli soldiers happily making selfies next to bodies, and I heard people who were deployed saying that taking this kind of dumb pictures was not uncommon... But to actually do this when you have not been ordered to kill...

Yeah, sure. And we are so used to this that now, this is the norm. I think the article is interesting to show that the streets did not always belong to the cars. But a lot of drivers sure act like the streets were made for them -- haivng no problem turning right without checking if there is a...

I was going to say, "Hard to re-earn such a right in solitary confinement!" but since you actually clarified that you did not literally mean that, then I think we actually do agree on the point. My point is not that they be treated with respect and as good human beings, but that they still be...

The forgotten history of how automakers invented the crime of "jaywalking"is the title of an article I got in my FB newsfeed yesterday. Very interesting indeed. Complete article: The forgotten history of how automakers invented the crime of "jaywalking" - Vox I mean, jaywalking probably is...

Like missbishi says: if it was in his basket and just happens to point at people, you really cannot blame it for this. And Jesus Christ the fact that you are acting like he somehow deserved to fucking die because cops were too dumb to realize how ridiculous the situation was is too weird for...
