    I've seen that balcony, yall. First of all, the "real" one is fictional. Second, there's a bronze statue of Juliet with her right breast polished shiny from men groping her. Also, the balcony is like two square feet and it's hanging off a building that's like, a restaurant or something.

    "The vast majority of the rapes occurred while the women were away from the camp gathering firewood."


    This is so completely awful--deciding who goes out to get firewood is like Sophie's Choice every fucking day. The women and girls go to collect firewood, they run the very real risk of the Janjaweed raping them. The men and boys go out to collect firewood, they run the very real risk of the Janjaweed killing them.

    From Reefer Madness:


    We are just like Romeo and Juliet

    We're happy, young, and bubbling with love.

    I can't wait to read the ending! --I can't either!

    But I'm sure it turns out real swell

    I bet Romeo marries his Juliet

    They have a baby, and make lots of friends.

    That's probably the way the play ends.

    Well I guess getting married like Romeo and Juliet would help keep the price of the honeymoon down.

    Lt. Col. Christopher Garver said Friday the Army is investigating allegations that eight male soldiers at Fort Dix took pictures and video of a group of female soldiers showering in their unit. So far no charges have been filed.


    Those guys sound like real Dix.

    Whenever people say they want a romance like Romeo and Juliet I always want to ask them if they've even read the play. If they read it they would not want to end up like those two.

    @Blueberry26: They've only known each other a few days! Soon enough they would have discovered that they both HAVE to sleep on the right hand side of the bed and everything would have gone to pot.

    Weird fun fact that I learned while in Verona: there's a statue of Juliet below the balcony, and it's considered good luck to rub her breast.

    @vamusical: It always fucks my shit up when people refer to their relationships as 'Just like Romeo and Juliet!'. Doesn't anyone remember that barely knew each other and then they DIED in the end? There are better couples to emulate.
