WTF?

the tragic story of Schapelle Corby

Here's why it's so appalling: she got 20 years, but Abu Bakar Bashir, a terrorist who masterminded the Bali Bombing (which killed 88 Australians and 31 Indonesians), got only 30 months.

Not only that, but they were going on one piece of evidence only, which makes for a very unconvincing prosecution.

I saw that story on the news a few days ago. Her sister was literally screaming her face off about it and I couldn't understand a word she said.

The WTF part of this post and the good news. I saw the story one morning on CNN before going to my first class of the day, and it was a classic "WTF" moment. I'm glad they decided to let the whole thing go. It makes me wonder just how many feral cats there are that they'd have to resort to that!

Here's another wtf news story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8022400/?GT1=6542

Why would you think that adult entertainment is okay for minors to see? R rated movies are okay, I've watched those since I was 10. But strippers?

I'd say it's the parents' choice. Granted, I wouldn't call it a WISE decision in my own opinion; but by sixteen, the boy's probably already seen much worse through internet, friends, or late night HBO. Still, on the other hand, they really had no right to make the decision of what the OTHER kids at the party were allowed to see. Hence why I think the charges are valid. (Does that make any sense? I wonder about my speech habits at times...

)

O_O;;
I can't imagine what kind of mother would do that.
...
Well, erm... my mom would probably do something like that, except she wouldn't HIRE the stripper. She'd BE the stripper.

Sure, the boy's probably seen worse, but... I- just don't... don't--
That fried my brain. I have nothing to say.

I agree with you. Since there were other children at the party, I believe it would make the charges valid, but if it were just him and the family, I don't see any charges that should be filed there. I don't agree with hiring a stripper for your child, but I also don't believe that it should be illegal.

Wisconsin: If your child's an unplanned pregnancy, we don't give a fuck

SOme days, I just don't understand conservatives. That might be just because I view Every Sperm is Sacred as a Monty Python song.

Okay..first off, the bill only denies the medication to students on college campuses. It doesn't state that they can't go elsewhere to get it. Like Planned Parenthood.

Secondly, I can see why they're doing this. While it is a horrid disadvantage to deny this pill to say, a rape victim, a lot of teens and college students these days are using these pills like candy. Had drunken sex last night, and now you're fucked? OH, let's pop the pill!

The fact is that it's trying to prevent the constant unprotected sex that these kids feel they can get away with becuase they can always run and pop a morning after pill. It's becoming sickening. If you're going to fuck around without protection, be prepared to face the consequences.

You're at school to fucking learn. Not to learn how to fuck.

It would have been really "WTF" if all kind of pills were deemed illegal or something. But since it's only about the "morning after" pill thing, I think it's a great thing somehow, because :

Yep. Like daily birth control pills. Or the patch. Or an IUD. Or condoms. They aren't that expensive, you know.

With as many options as therea re today, it's amazing that we have as many teen and wedlock pregnancies we have today.

Here's another WTF story: wtf candy
I think the whole concept of this candy is stupid. I can't remember what the statistics are, but Dr Phil (*is a Dr Phil fangirl*) said that drug use in teenagers have increased a lot since the 1980's. In all of my classes since grade nine, I've had stupid classmates brag about getting high and stuff. I think the candy needs to get pulled off the shelves because it'll promote drugs to a younger crowd. Granted, it's not going to influence every kid, but there's a good chance that it will influence kids that come from broken homes.

EDIT: What's up with the horizontal scrolling? I'm thinking it's because of the link I posted here, but I forget how to hide links behind text.

I *hate* the smell of pot smoke...so I don't know how the candy could taste very good. But then, I've never smoked pot...
But I'm kinda on the fence about the candy itself. They sell candles, insence, and oil that smells like pot, so I don't know if this is any different...but then, those aren't aimed at KIDS, which candy is. I think it wouldn't be a problem if the candy was only showing up in smoking shops/ specialty shops, but conveneince stores...that's silly. The marketers are just ASKING for trouble, then.

I thought this was a miracle.

The wtf part of the story is that the lions didn't eat the little girl. I was really surprised.

Giant Popsicle Melts, Floods New York Park

"Hey, here's a smrat idea, let's build a huge-ass popsicle during the summer. Ah Hell, let's not even bother to check ahead and see what the temperature might be. Flooding a park with syrup makes for some good advertising."

T_T all that Snapple.....wasted......the humanity ;_;

Damn, second forum where I see the "popsicle" thing.

What's that XD ?

Sailorasteroid · Post by **Sailorasteroid** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 6:07 pm

It's a summer treat we have over here. It's essentially fruit juice that's frozen into ice with a wooden stick in it as a handle. You lick it or bite it on a hot day and it's nice. Go to www.popsicle.com to see them.
