I had never used YouTube beyond the occasional link that someone had posted. Tonight, I have spent many hours that could have been used writing a research paper wandering around the many videos of trash and wonder. My brain may be rotten, but I've been having fun!
I hadn't taken any anthropology classes, but does Ethnic Literary and Cultural Studies, Critical Race theory count? What had never occurred to me was that the "skinny woman is beauty" in Pop American culture would not translate to the African-American culture. I had never heard of anyone being told they were ugly because they were too skinny -- at least not in America. It also never occurred to me that someone could envy my body shape
I'm just shocked that I managed to post the videos the FIRST time! I feel so computer savvy!
In Florida the patient has to agree to treatment to stay in the hospital or treatment center. If the patient refuses treatment then he has to stay somewhere, jail is the only other place to go. But he is taking the medicine. Also, it seems as though the jail is unequipped to handle his case since he cannot shower. A hospital or treatment facility would surely be able to care for him better. You get a hearing, you don
I presented my thesis on fantasy literature yesterday at an academic conference. I had a lot of fun answering questions, and especially in the 2.5 hour conversation I had with a member of the audience after my panel section was done. I tell you that to tell you this: I heard a paper by a young woman who had an eating disorder, and she opened my mind to somet
Strangest act I've seen <object width="425" heig
The contract on the condo has been signed--assuming nothing goes horribly wrong, it is mine. The Home Inspection is on Tuesday, and the closing date is set for Mid-May. Congrats! Good timing too, my toes were starting to cramp.
don't you think that it is wise to lock him up? In Florida it is called the Baker Act. Each state has a similar law and there is a federal law as well. Not in jail. Hospital or treatment facility maybe. Not jail. Ok, clear something up for me: I understand that in criminal law, a person can be taken into custody before the trial. This would be the same as this man being taken into quarantine. Then, a hearing should come next in either case,
I hate you. Now, all I can think about is strawberry cheesecake ice cream. And I was so trying not to go to walmart tonight.
Fortunately for me, I hadn't bought any UTK colors. I don't think I look good in orange. Red has always been my color.
No, I realize that people wait in jail for trials, but he's been there since last July. If he hasn't had a trial or hearing yet, then something is wrong. But then, the people who stay in jail waiting for trials have been charged with crimes, and he has not. So, I figure that, in order for him to still be in prison, some kind of hearing must have taken place by now. I just wish I knew if it had or not. I mean, to lock someone away for being mentally ill, isn't there a hearing? Shouldn't t
Thanks guys. My problem has never been getting my hopes up, my problem is that I alway expect the worst and worry myself to death about things I cannot change. All that panic was uncalled for, but no matter how often I told myself that, I still worried myself sick. (literally) I slept for the first time all week last night. Well, I had the first sleep where I didn't wake up every hour with a nightmare at least. There are still
At that time, you become a criminal. True, you can have charges pressed and be convicted. However, neither has happened to this fellow. By definition of law, he is not a criminal. He will not have a criminal record because of this, unless charges are filed in the future. The lack of charges makes me bel
I have to make this quick or I'll be late to class, but I had to tell everyone: I've been accepted to the University of Arkansas! After all that panicking, and anger at not being responded to, I finally got an email from their director of graduate studies. He apologized for the wait, but said he was trying to wait until he knew something definite ab
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY! (I had to double) Best wishes!
Unfortunately, there aren't enough specifics to fully argue the point. However, I feel fairly sure that it's ok to say someone should not be in jail without being a criminal. I'm very aware how TB works, though thank you for listing telling us all. The man in question, however, *seems* to have been ignorant of just how much damage he could have been doing. Since we don't know how much he knew, or how often he was warned, I can't say if he refused treatment, or just couldn't afford it
They're books too? Oh, you just made my day! I only recently started watching, so I wasn't sure of names, but I'm hooked none-the-less.
That's f***in' sick, whip. I just crapped myself laughing. Please don't post a picture of it. One is enough.
See, I play the "Oh my! I can't believe it's you!" game to complete strangers. It's funny how often people are like, "Oh yeah! How are you? It's so great to see you again!" You should do that and ask for that $50 they owe you...see how much money you could make. Good idea! I may try for a $20 to start... just to test the waters.
I got my good news today, so you can have the crossed toes on both feet now.
I suppose I should specify that I don't think he should walk around willy nilly and infect hundreds or thousands of people. My problem with this situation is that he is being held in jail, denied things that I think every human should be allowed -- mostly the shower, but the other stuff is only fair as well, and he isn't a criminal! Also, I worry about setting precedents. If it is so easy to jail a person without a criminal trial, I worry
I refuse to form an opinion on this specific case until we can find out more about it, like: Was he informed that he was a danger to others? Was he informed how to minimize that danger? How many times was he informed? By who? Does he have sufficient mental capacity to understand instructions? Doed he
Also, quick question: If wearing a mask and taking medication was sufficient to allow him to continue daily life in public before he was arrested, and if he were now willing to take his medication and wear a mask, and as he is facing no criminal charges, shouldn't that be sufficient to allow him to leave the jail cell and go back to his daily life? I hope that question makes sense. Maybe that's what he's planning to say at the hearing for h
There has been no trail. He has not been given due process of the law. He is in prison, but has had no charges filed. Tell me again how this doesn't violate his constitutional rights? Just because you commit a crime doesn't mean you automatically go to jail. You get a trial with a jury of your peers. He hasn't even been charged. He should not be in a jail cell with his personal liberty taken from him without due process of the law. Also, the title is not misleading. This one per
Just because it isn't new, does that make it right? Also, not everyone with AIDS is angrily going around attempting to take as many people with them as they can but because a small handful do, the privacy of all should be risked? Tracking them by numbers assured patients some confidentiality. Some people fear that people will no long get tested for HIV or AIDS because they do not want people finding out. And I agree, Doc, that they could harm others, but I think there is a di
