    70 wpm? I think the old people are bringing that average down.

    More info on Banita Jacks here: [www.washingtonpost.com]

    Says she thought the girls were possessed by demons but believed they would return to life after the demons were dead. Also, says they were dead in the house for 7 months. The story is bizarre, it's like she tried to conduct a half assed exorcism.

    Hmmm. I was unaware that they changed the definition of the word prodigy.

    Also, that's awful. Ten year old kids raping an eight year old?That's two sociopaths that should be kept in check. I know people have a great capacity to change but that situation there should be enough to have them locked away forever. Or this would be a great opportunity to see what the mind of a rapist is like. Nature vs. nurture. Cultural or individual.

    @Evie Havok: The two boys who murdered James Bulger were ten at the time and were released after eight years. My guess is that these boys won't even serve half that.

    @Maritsa: If a ten year old doesn't have the capacity for change, we may as well execute every murderer, they're all lost causes.

    What they did was horrible, but they were children themselves. They deserve the chance to become somebody.

    @kittiquin: Yes and that three year old they kidnapped and murdered deserved the chance to have a life. They deserved more than EIGHT years in jail. People get more than that for drug charges.

    They did the minimum for a horrific crime for which one of them reportedly felt no remorse. The penal system has many objectives, one of which is rehabilitation and one of which is penal - they weren't punished enough.

    I wonder if those two British boys had also been sexually or physically abused or had witnessed abuse recently. That's often the case.

    Justice is necessary, but when dealing with victims and criminals that young real, fair justice seems impossible.

    The Canadian study also said that the women with "maladaptive eating patterns" believed they were in poor health. I wonder what that connection is? They didn't say.

    Quite honestly, hearing the words "teacher" and "caught", and "sex", in the same sentence, I can only feel relief on realizing that it's between adults.

    Also, I laughed really hard when I read the first sentence of the steak-throwing. And then I just got sad reading the rest of it.

    I went to that high school, and one of those women was my teacher for two years. This really does not surprise me at all. Nor do I feel that bad for her. She always had some major boundary issues. I'm kind of surprised she didn't get in trouble for something before this

    @colormeroutine: I grew up by that school! (but didn't end up going there). Sort of odd to say Brooklyn Pride for a post about a sex-escandalo but there we have it. Brooklyn pride indeed. It's just rare to read about that part of Brooklyn other than when cricket players get hit by lightning in Marine Park. True story.

    Okay, sensationalist news editors, I know you want to get your senssses on, but this headline is severely misleading:

    "Woman Sues Over Drunken Leg Amputations"

    Were the doctors drunk while amputating her legs? Did she amputate her own legs while drunk? What the phalanges is going on here?

    Oh, right, drunk dumb bitch shoulda known.

    Am I the only one who noticed the lede:

    "A western Pennsylvania woman who drank herself unconscious celebrating her 20th birthday says a hospital didn't properly treat her, resulting in partial amputations of both of her legs."

    It seems to frame the issue as "another one of 'dem womenz folk couldn't take her alchie and now is suing a good America small town hospital."

    A quick scan of the first few comments how conveniently everyone fell into the AP's trap without knowing any substantial facts.

    Another example of why that wire service is heading to the dumpster.

    @d000505: I thought that too.

    If you have drunk too much surely the most responsible place to go/be taken too is the emergency room? You'd hope to be taken care of there and not left slumped over/passed out in a dangerous position!?

    Okay. Wow. This is a lot of messed up shit.

    First, I think that drunk, passed out woman at the hospital should sue the pants off that hospital. Her freaking legs had to be amputated because she was left passed out in an odd position for 12 hours? That's clear neglect. Not saying she should have been drunk, but... the hospital definitely should have been more on top of their shit. That amputation could have easily been prevented.

    Also, two incidences of female on male violence... interesting. I felt especially bad for the disabled guy getting smacked around with a steak. I do find it interesting that this kind of thing would make the news, since most domestic violence cases (with female victims) rarely get any publicity. I guess the steak part made it really weird?

    I read the actual article about the teachers, and am I missing something? What was the proof that they were "getting busy"? It doesn't even say to what degree they were unclothed. Granted, they shouldn't have been unclothed at all, but my school had no locker room so girls often got changed in an empty classroom. I've gotten changed at work plenty of times (in a private bathroom stall, of course). Still, this seems like a desperate grab for a salacious headline and yet another railroad job.
