    Fuck that, California, if my cat had claws my house would be in shambles. Maybe you should ban tasers instead. Just a thought.

    @Snowbunny: Glad to hear the state of your house is more important to you than the pain your cat experienced as a part of its body was being ripped from it forever. Declawing is a brutal practice. Pretty sure you wouldn't want anyone removing your fingernails, hm? Why should it be any different for an animal?

    Is there a UK Jezie around who can explain this law to me? Being eligible for your partner's estate seems like a good thing, so why is Baroness Deech saying it sets women back? Am I misunderstanding the Law Commission's statement or is she commenting on an old law?

    @jemandtheholograms: Ruth Deech is a very well respected expert on family law. Her views on divorce are interesting in that she does not believe that women who are otherwise able to work should be awarded any maintenance in a divorce [business.timesonline.co.uk] (this does not affect child support) and her views on cohabitation are similarly esoteric. [headoflegal.blogspot.com]

    Basically, my understanding of her position is that she thinks that people ought to be encouraged to ideally (a) make wills, so that their estates are awarded according to their express wishes, or, failing that (b) get married or form a civil partnership, which has benefits for society. Just cohabiting with someone ought not be enough to have the estate awarded to that person, as opposed to their children, siblings or parents, absent their express wishes as set out in a will.

    The lesson here is for everyone to please, please please make a will. Your assets will need to be divided no matter how small your estate is, and the legal bills will be more if you do not have a will.

    Congratulations to Shane Ryan! You've just earned yourself a special spot in the brand new 1,000th circle of hell where you'll find accommodations like:

    -Reliving your horrible life on earth!
    -Being reminded of how pathetic you are!
    -Seeing the consequences of your actions firsthand!
    -Thinking about what you did!
    -Ultimately realizing that your existence was a sad and pitiful one!

    And that's not all! If you continue to behave in such a way, you'll get all of these wonderful accommodations for... ETERNITY!

    Hmmm... I wonder if acne would be a symptom of the women's vitamin A deficiency. I think accutane is just a big old dose of vitamin A.

    @Lizabelle: "The point is that these kinds of "dirty" tactics (elbows, jersey pulling, tripping) are all part of how soccer is played."

    Er, no it's not. Not to mix my sporting metaphors or anything, but to play like that is just not cricket. FFS- that shit is dangerous, not to mention (obviously) verboten; she should have been pulled up on all of those infractions. Dirty plays like those are an insult to the Beautiful Game. #elizabethlambertdatingad

    "[the] attractive 20-year-old blond displays some of the most violent behavior we've ever seen on any level of sports."

    Radar must not have seen the 2006 World Cup where Zidane (one of my fave players!) head-butted 2006 World Cup.

    I won't even itemize on Wayne Rooney! #elizabethlambert

    "O RLY? More violent than boxing? Or MMA? Or does it only seem violent and newsworthy because women are involved, and they're not acting like delicate princesses?"

    Yeah, rly. Pugilistic or MMA violence is of the expected variety: Both parties know it's coming.

    This violence was, in my mind, of a significantly higher order, involving true victimization.

    Or, as Whoopi would say, ...... #elizabethlambert

    As you may have guessed, the athletics department here at UNM is feeling a bit of heat. First our football coach punched an assistant coach. Then the football team managed to maintain a perfect record of 0-7. Now Ms. Lambert.

    This was a fabulous week for our president to announce a renewed commitment to athletics. #elizabethlambert

    Soccer is definitely a violent sport, and the bad behavior is certainly not limited to women (anyone remember Wayne Rooney's "testicle stomping" last World Cup?). However, in my experience women are far more likely to use violence and cheating as a way to advance.

    I was on a soccer team by the time I was five, and played co-ed and girls league soccer until college. Guys could definitely be violent, but the majority of the blatant, calculating violence was done by women.

    My soccer career quickly ended because one game, a girl purposely stepped on my foot and didn't get up as I fell, literally snapping my ankle. She immediately started fake crying and got a foul called on me. So, yeah. Kind of bitter. Although I'm still a hell of a lot luckier than another teammate, who got her spine broken when a girl kicked her in the back when was on the ground. Compared to that, the ponytail grab doesn't look so bad! #elizabethlambert
