    Swastikas Found On Hanukkah Wrapping Paper, Walgreens Pulls From Shelves

    From what I understand, that's a typical Greek pattern, and it's called a meander because that's what it does. My BIL is Greek and I've seen it often. It just happens to look like a swastika because it's a rather common shape prior to Hitler.

    Autism and ASL

    One thing that pops out at me is that your family hasn't really embraced this. They are not signing to him. You really need to sit them down, because living in a family you can't communicate with is horrible. Not only does it cause stress and the obvious communication issues, it comes across...

    Photos of Chicago, IL

    I miss seeing Broadway at the theatres there. The signed performances were really underutilized. Never ever had a problem getting a seat. Plus, they were always priced much lower than the regular seats so I could go as often as I wanted.

    White Ohio Woman Sues Over Sperm From Black Donor

    I thought they had already addressed that. Being gay and growing up gay they have the experience to deal with that. Having a biracial child is completely uncharted territory for them, and that is a big concern for them. Yeah, those scientific papers that show having gay parents makes life...

    Family wants to keep life support for girl brain dead after tonsil surgery

    She is brain dead. There are huge hunks of her brain missing, they've rotted and been absorbed into the cerebrospinal fluid that is now filling those spaces. Her brain will get smaller and smaller until they admit defeat and she has a little tiny hardened chunk of brain rolling around her...

    White Ohio Woman Sues Over Sperm From Black Donor

    Saying why they didn't adopt is pretty naive. It's expensive to adopt privately. Private adoptions don't always turn out and you lose all 30k (which is about the low end for a private adoption). If you go through the state it can be cheaper, but there can be long waits and if you do foster to...

    Total lunar eclipse on Wednesday will have an unusual twist

    I've given up on seeing any autumn celestial events. It's almost always overcast. I haven't been able to see the Perseids for years because it has been overcast every single time. So from August on, I just don't bother.

    White House needs to tighten security

    Just about every statement I've read from people in the Secret Service have stated that she doesn't have a good handle on what is actually needed to protect. The source I read must have been wrong in how long she was out of the field. Your info is 14 years. If someone in her position is...

    Parents want book called 'Bluest Eye'banned

    Those books that have been banned have the crappiest reasons. Books banned for religious viewpoint? How else are you supposed to explore your world and enrich your mind if you're not exposed to other religions? They should have banned Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey for crappy writing, not...

    White House needs to tighten security

    Pierson was a dumbass. She had no actual in the field experience for 20 years prior to her being assigned. She had no clue of what it actually is like to protect people. She actually went so far as to say that they should make the Secret Service friendlier and MORE LIKE DISNEY. She worked...

    Parents want book called 'Bluest Eye'banned

    I was in high school and the class was partnered up and we had to lead the class discussion that day for an hour on our poem. The poem I got was entirely about sex. It was stupid and cliche, it had trains going through tunnels for god's sake. We were 16 and more than capable of discussing the...

    Polio threatens US

    There have been some really big outbreaks of whooping cough and measles in the US because of non-vaccination. Most of the big measles outbreaks have been in the same community of non-vaxers. Nearly all of the people who don't vaccinate are educated middle class white people. Some very...

    Family wants to keep life support for girl brain dead after tonsil surgery

    The thing is, there isn't any hope. Going by the comments, the attorney said the MRI shows that "she still has brain tissue" but people commented that it's filled with cerebro-spinal fluid. When the brain deteriorates it creates holes and those holes fill with CSF. They oh so briefly showed...

    Does unlimited food sway you?

    Not all unlimited food offerings come from a buffet table. They are served to your own table straight from the kitchen.

    EdM Deaf Studies--Application and Mobility?

    You don't have to go straight to PhD and teaching college level. Just be aware of how truly difficult it is to get that kind of position and to be able to support yourself doing it. A lot of people with their PhDs just are lecturers and get paid too little money to support themselves so they...

    ISIS beheads a British aid worker :(

    I don't know why anyone finds this surprising. IS is killing people left and right, enslaving religious minorities, making the women serve in brothels to be raped as a reward to the men as well as children of both sexes being used the same way. They are killing ALL journalists, Muslim and non...
