The UK went through a phase of knife stabbings. Or at least increased media reportings on knife stabbings. Then the government vowed to "get tough on knife hooligans".
Now, as a consequence of that, none of our students can buy cutlery sets when they arrive here. And of course, they can't bring knives with them, because ZOMG TERRORISM.
No wonder they eat takeaway pizza all the time.
Waiting for the NRA to argue we need more guns on college campuses to counter threats from the likes of Mr. Stabby here.

Would you listen to yourselves - ban guns, ban knifes, ban pizza. This is not how you solve the killing in schools thing. It's obvious that when you ban one thing, the enterprising student killer will merely find another weapon that isn't banned. You're basically playing fucking whack-a-mole.

QuoteRedus told Houston police that she did make the post but never intended to give her child up for adoption. She also told police that she was not thinking rationally when she posted the ad and she had not taken her medication to treat her mental ailments.

Well, they aren't getting it, and now they're all whining.
QuoteIn a statement on Wednesday afternoon, FEMA spokesman Dan Watson said the agency had provided over $7 million in federal funds directly to families affected by the disaster, as well as emergency housing assistance and funds to help the state remove debris.
The town of about 2,800 people had asked for a total of about $57 million for work that included road repairs and included $40 million to rebuild a school flattened in the explosion, the AP reported.
"We don't have the money to go out and borrow the money. We don't have the means to pay that note back," West Mayor Tommy Muska told the AP. "There's got to be some public assistance."

My little brother had a cop seize his pot, and then not arrest him or even write him a ticket...My brother saw the cop soon after the stop, pulled over in the next gas station up the road. The cop had his hands down in his lap, as if he was rolling something...The cop was actually wanting speed, because he kept barking out "If you have any speed, you'd better give it up now!" repeatedly to my Bro and his friend.

I honestly don't know enough about State senates in the US to have a thought about it that would hold any water. I was just hopeful it would work.
and showing the tampering of the vote date was just information i came across.
The bill just passed in a "special session".
Well done, Texas. :boring:
Motherfuck.
Of course it passed. That's how things "work" here.
Wait! Did the restrictive bill pass? I'm reading about it now?
It passed the House the other day, I think there's a final vote tomorrow. But yeah, it's as good as done.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/07/10/passage-of-texas-abortion-bill-causes-ire-online-and-in-person/
QuoteThe bill resurfaced today in a special session called by Gov. Rick Perry (R) and was ultimately passed in a 96 to 49 vote. It will go on to the state Senate to be voted on, perhaps as early as Friday.
http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2013/07/texas_abortion_ban_after_20_weeks_prenatal_testing_reveals_birth_defects.html
QuoteWhy do some women wait so long? The answer is that comprehensive fetal testing, such as anatomical sonograms and ultrasounds of the heart, are typically performed just before 20 weeks of gestation. Such scans are critical for uncovering major birth defects, such as anencephaly (severe brain malformations), major heart defects, missing organs and limbs, and other severe birth defects. Fetal development is a complex process that often goes awry. Roughly 2 percent of all pregnancies are complicated by a major birth defect, and of those about 0.5 percent have a chromosomal defect, such as an extra or missing segment of normal DNA. Birth defects are a leading cause of infant mortality, and in many cases of severe birth defects, no medical treatment can salvage a fetus's life or result in any measure of normal future health.
All this and they cut medicaid/medicare, too.

Okay, no. They can carry meningitis, but you don't get it from incidental contact with one, you have to eat it without cooking it properly. Basic handwashing (which you should be doing after handling any wild animal) is enough to prevent infection even if you are unlucky enough to encounter one of the few snails that is carrying around meningitis.
The reason everyone gangs up on giant african land snails is that they're an agricultural pest and they can be dangerous to some types of housing (they'll suck calcium off stucco and concrete, eventually doing serious damage if there are enough of them). They are also a very successful invasive species in certain climates.
