Or, you know, forgo such luxury items until some point after they've paid for their child's basic care needs, yea.

Basically, what you're saying here is that you don't think you should have to make any sacrifices because you chose to have and raise a child, and everyone around you should just shut up and deal with it.

See, this is the problem with babies raising babies.

Never ceases to amaze me how people will argue over which nation makes the "best" pisswater.

I give the Canucks some credit, they do make a damn fine blended whiskey.

Hey, if they're going to claim our websites, they've got to take the bad with the good, right? Seems fair.

Various clandestine government agencies the world over beg to differ.

Except that "Pick one" implies that you only get to select one answer.

Dumbass, was it? Yea, you are.

That's cool for y'all.

We 'Muricans prefer to watch shit blow up (or blow shit up) in shorts and t-shirts whilst slamming ise-cold pilsners and either roasting animal flesh over open fires or in big vats of superheated oil.

Variety is the spice of life, after all.

Because some people think digging in their pocket to find a phone just to tell them the time is stupid.

That's my reasoning, anyway. Can't speak for anyone else, nor would I care to.

Can't disagree. I care more about equal treatment under law than I do for punishing some pervert for having a sick fantasy (that they never actually act on).

Are they going to distinguish this new type of K-9 unit in any way, or is he going to be rolled in with the drug dogs? Because this seems, to me, like another way to drum up "probable cause" by sicking the dog on your car and "getting a hit," which then gives the SS an excuse to shred your vehicle and rifle through your belongings.

Because who, in this day and age, doesn't carry some sort of electronic memory device with them almost everywhere they go?

Kiddie diddlers my ass, they're making a new excuse to search you.

Hi, you must be new here.

Just came across an example of one of my complaints:

During the German lesson, I was asked to translate "Ein Mann trinkt Wasser." I accidentally wrote "The man" as opposed to "A man" or "One man."

Now, since I already have a basic knowledge of the language, I knew why I was wrong immediately; but would a person who's not already familiar really learn anything from the following "tip?"

You used the definite "The" here, instead of the indefinite "One".

Huh? That's just confusing, especially considering that we're talking about the very first lesson in the German group; someone who is not familiar with words having different modes (i.e., most uni-lingual Americans) would find that extremely difficult to understand.

Playing with it now (phrasing, BOOM)...

First impressions: it's cutesy fun, and the site is obviously based on the same system that Codeacademy uses.

Two problems I've noticed thus far: 1, certain parts want you to use a microphone. I HATE websites that want to use my mic, and I'm pretty sure I'm far from alone in feeling that way.

The other, larger issue I have is that, when you answer incorrectly, the system doesn't necessarily specify why you were wrong, which tends to lead to frustration and ultimately, giving up, since not knowing why you were wrong makes it a lot harder to know how to be right.

Still, leaning towards the "this is pretty cool" end of the spectrum, and hopefully it gets better with time.

What, you mean a mainstream media outlet gave me bad info? Inconceivable!

Agreed; add in the fact that non-government-agent types who have done pretty much the same thing were not let off so lightly.

Let's be realistic here - if he wasn't a government agent, he'd already be in jail.

Like these people.

I presume you're basing this assumption on the contents of TFS.

I read some other articles about this case yesterday - he bought the tools, and used a classified police database to shop for victims. To me, that's a bit past "fantasy" and more into "planning to do this shit."
