Wow, I would definitely love a link as this sounds almost surreal. Adrenaline and rage does crazy things to people, and it's terrible to see two people fighting over such a terrible, philandering person. Hopefully the victim(s) found suitable treatment in time, and they distance themselves...

I'm a guy, but I would like to contribute to some current events at my university. Generally, our city is pretty safe. Unfortunately, these past few weeks have saw an increase in rape and harassment cases at my university, so my female friends are definitely on a higher level of alertness than...

I'm currently in college, so I often don't have free time for this type of stuff. When I do, I'm aware of several survey sites that will pay you in gift cards to do their surveys. I also ask around, especially to my professors, if they need any help, such as writing lectures or transcribing...

I don't see why not. As long as they have undergone proper training and evaluations, of course women should be able to arm themselves. However, everyone should be responsible for their own weapons as they could be lethal or cause permanent injury.

It's Florida, and it's in a Walmart. It feels weird to say this, but it's probably nothing out of the ordinary there. Honestly, what moron wouldn't expect to be arrested after that incident? I'm actually kind of interested to see what his thought process it. Some people just think so...

That's... really creepy. I hear about people with psychotic exes on the news on the time. Thank goodness that man was arrested in time. Who knows how much further he would have gone from setting up a hidden camera. Do you happen to have a source for this incident?

Interesting way to defend yourself, but good on her anyway. I'm glad that she came out of that incident relatively unscathed. Rape is a heinous crime, and it saddens me to this day how there's such a stigma against reporting of these incidents.

I definitely do not believe in death penalty. The fact that there is an entire page in Wikipedia article that is dedicated to a list of people wrongfully executed shows us how unnecessary and potential there is for wrong that exists in death penalty. It costs so much money to keep a person on...

I agree that it's just the matter of common sense and being aware of your surroundings. Run during the time of day when there is light, and don't run in areas that seem kind of sketchy, such as alleyways or dilapidated parks. Get a running buddy, as you can have each others backs. Make sure...

Hey there, I feel like this is a good place to ask. What are your opinions on a citizen defense force? I read an article a few days back where during the LA riots, a bunch of korean citizens banded together with weapons to defend their shops and homes, and much of Koreatown was spared. From...

Sorry for being a downer here, but I'm just not a morning person. I wake up, brush my teeth, and rush to catch the bus because I overslept. Then I sleep on the bus, which is great because my destination is the last stop. Good on some of you for getting exercise in the morning though. That...

Not that I aware of. I'm not the type to start at what my local police force carry with them as their sidearm, but they just carry pistols. I was in cadets, so I noticed that the reserves and the garrison practice with M5. Otherwise, no, I have not seen my local cops carry machine guns.

Sigh, I can't believe I'm saying this, but a new laptop. I looked up the specs for this one I have right now, and they were pretty good. Unfortunately, after only 2 years of use (and believe me, I take great care of my electronics) it's already falling apart and always overheating. I think...

I'm currently taking a break from reading a Murakami novel to catch up on the A Song of Ice and Fire series. I'm tired of having my friends threaten to spoil it for me, and it's time this stopped. I just finished the third book and I'm utterly heartbroken. Please, GRRM, finish the series now!

I would love to go somewhere tropical, but it's not exactly within our budget. However, our family takes frequent trips to the US. Honestly, looking at how varied the culture is all over the states, it's a new experience in every state!

I usually just use facebook just because it's guaranteed that my friends will be on there. However, I'm finding lately that whatsapp is a much better way to communicate with my friends, and it's so much easier to share quick images on snapchat.

There are people who are definitely not suitable to be parents. There are also mothers and fathers out there that truly care about their children, but the stress and lack of sleep gets to everyone, great and small. Tragedies like this happen, but they can be prevented with training and...

No, generally not. I've tried to keep a dream journal a while back to get some lucid dreaming action. Unfortunately it was really hard to make it a habit. However, there are some that leave an impression, but there are very few of them and other things take up my mind after a while.

I feel like in certain circumstances, a little bit of protecting their own happens. Most police departments are really stringent on making sure the enforcing the law should not result in breaking the law yourselves. However, there are some that let things slide, and that's obviously...

It's amazing how many people misuse 911. I heard on the news a few weeks ago of a woman that called 911 for non-emergencies so much that they finally banned her from calling 911, and only her relatives can call for her. She probably cost many lives and wasted so much money and time. There are...
