    Josh Duggar resigns from Family Research Council after sexual abuse allegations

    I had looked up the definition of a pedophile. Medically, if the person is an adult then the kids they are attracted to need to be 13 or younger. If the person is at least 16, then the kids need to be at least 5 years younger than themselves. If the person is under 16, then they cannot be...

    Josh Duggar resigns from Family Research Council after sexual abuse allegations

    He's not a pedophile because the girl was not 13 or younger (regarding Rob Lowe). The fuss regarding Josh Duggar is that his parents let it happen again. They did not take him away from the house or do anything about it the first time it happened, and only did something after it happened a...

    Deaf, hearing relationships

    Some insurances cover it, many don't. There's probably a better place to post this where more people will see it.

    Josh Duggar resigns from Family Research Council after sexual abuse allegations

    If you look at the form that someone posted, that is taken from the guidelines of their religion for counseling those who were sexually abused. When it has "why were they abused" they actually put possible reasons like dressing immodestly. So the victims, when being counseled by the church...

    Josh Duggar resigns from Family Research Council after sexual abuse allegations

    Foxrac, he didn't rape anyone. He also didn't receive counseling. He did not go through any Christian program. Jim Bob mentioned the one that is run by IBLP/Gothard, but Josh did not go there. In the police report Michelle says he was sent to a family friend who had some sort of...

    Pizza crust identifies DC quadruple killer

    It's not far from where my friend lives either. DC isn't a huge town (something like 63 square miles compared with NYC's nearly 500) and where these people live is clustered really close. So people are saying that these important government workers live so close to this dangerous thing...

    Mom in circumcision battle still jailed; hearing set for Monday

    ONe doctor said it was needed, the other said it wasn't. The problem is that in the US, a lot of doctors aren't taught how to deal with an intact foreskin. Many even say to pull it back to clean, which is something you should never do on a child. Most boys can't pull back their foreskin until...

    10 Fruits & Vegetables That Dogs Absolutely Love!

    Also, blueberries don't taste like anything when they are whole. IF you broke it apart then I bet your dog would have eaten it. Mine won't touch blueberries at first if they are whole, then they are willing to bite them once they know what's inside. I once had a pair of cockers who would go...

    ATTN: Those who wants to do interviews/questions/surveys - Please read this FIRST.

    This man is not calling his son "special". Special needs is a term that is often used clinically to describe people who need assistance. It's not once I'm fond of because of the use of calling people with disabilities special, but the difference is like using oriental for carpets but using...

    Mary Kay Letourneau:

    From what I've read they are not happy with her. Her relationship with them is estranged. They don't really understand why she's coming out of the woodwork now, other than wanting notoriety for her existing kids and attention for herself.

    Not Deaf, just a fan of ASL...

    Wait, you're creating a written form of ASL without knowing ASL to begin with? How the heck does that work if you don't know ASL grammar?

    canada refuses Deafie girl as immigrant, Deaf are a burden.

    It's not just Canada that has this law. Someone was trying to emigrate to Australia, I think he was a doctor and Australia has a doctor shortage (or did at the time if this has been fixed). His minor daughter has Down Syndrome. They refused to let him move to Australia and help them with...

    A few questions for fluent signers

    I was about to say, i don't know many Deaf people who do not know how to mime to hearing people, and that starts young. I'm really curious why your teacher gave out such an assignment without anyone having an understanding of deaf culture and sign language, and expect to come up with something...

    Kim Jong Un is pissed at a turtle farm for not producing lobster

    Heck, only now has rock lobster been able to be farmed. That's the lobster tail that you get at Red Lobster (it's not Maine or Canadian lobster). Even with crayfish (what they are talking about with fresh water lobster) it's more than just tossing them together and hoping they mate. How...
