it's the fact that we as a society are producing people who go out into their neighborhoods and do such things. I don't hear anybody proposing a solution for that.

Stop producing so many people. You're welcome.

The "pay attention" rationale doesn't hold water since they're not preventing people reading paper books or the newspapers they sometimes give out when you board.

Books and newspapers typically do not feature headphones. To me, it seems much easier to say "put away all electronic devices" rather than try to hash out a list of exceptions.

hate to reply to self, but just found out that you have to click the mbeta link to see it on iPad... I assumed it would pick up the agent and redirect since the summary says "launched."

I probably don't understand what "launched" means, though.

nothing different on iPad compared to the regular site... except, the OBNOXIOUS pop-up banner ad thing at the bottom.

Seriously? Thanks for that.

> And how exactly do you propose this should work?

Don't track in the first place?

You missed this part:

"from the obvious-witticisms-are-obvious dept."

has circumcision ever been shown to be linked to something harmful?

Ask my penis. Specifically, ask my penis about the part that went missing 36 years ago.

Or, consider this:

In the matter of circumcision of newborn males, it must be recognized that the child is normal as born, and that circumcision inflicts loss of a normal body part and leaves a scar. This is contrary to the motto of medicine which is "First, do no harm. "

As long as it is legitimate oppression. Because the woman's body has a way to just shut the whole thing down and deal with the oppression.

So they'll be fine. Everything will work out fine.

Yes, I realize its a "rumor" site.

We've all been there. You're at a dinner party of gathering and introduced to a new acquaintance. As the conversation develops you rattle through a list of topics - food, movies, music, TV... and that's when your new 'friend' drops the bombshell. You ask if they're following Game of Thrones or the new season of Mad Men. They reply, 'I don't have a TV', acting as though this is a point of social pride.

Okay so the scenario doesn't always play out quite like that. Sometimes people will say they "don't watch much TV" or "don't have time for TV" - but the insinuation is still the same. These are busy people leading busy lives and don't have time for all that trash on TV. After all they're far too cultured to waste their time on that grubby little device. Ugh!

For the rest...

Mod story Troll.

Is the purpose of this story a mystery to anyone. It's like ad TV reruns...

They should go to jail for publishing the cops home addresses.

Excuse me, but it was the police who published the home address of the photographers. So, yeah, ummm.. yeah.
