As much as I disapprove of vigilante justice, if I were in this dad's shoes, I don't see myself calling the cops [first] either.

Pedophilia is, by the best estimates, committed by men 10 to 1 over women. Since the attraction is to children, most don't have a gender preference. Which children does common sense tell you are most often left alone with grown men: boys or girls?

That's about as likely as Westboro marching in the Gay Pride Parade. NAMBLA has virtually ceased to exist. Or to matter - except to people who need a "boogeyman" to scare others. The reason they withered away is complete lack of acceptance by the general public, including homosexuals. Who are...

I can totally agree that standards would be somewhat 'relaxed', given that it's a crisis [PR, not least of all], but I'd like to know how much exactly. It seems obvious that the 45 days training is a nogo, but what are the requirements? Does anyone know? Or are we just making assumptions, like...

In another article I read [can't find it now], that's what the govt says: that FedEx was informed on multiple occasions that certain 'pharmacies' were not legit, and assisting them to deliver their products is also illegal, but the warnings were ignored. If that's true, they are culpable. Try...

No update? Like Turtle, I've been called for a random [several times] by previous carriers, given an address, and told to report for a drug screen within one hour. Paperwork was faxed between carrier & clinic and back again, no problem. It's a necessary evil, but making it worse by requiring...

Money withheld from your pay to cover unexpected claims [such as damaged freight] that arise after you've received your final pay and moved on from a carrier. It's generally taken in installments the first weeks, and returned around 45 days after you leave.

It's a thing we started the first year the Expo was held in Wilmington [at least, I think so - only went to one before that, at the Detroiter, and didn't see it there], where EO members have a cookout, and everyone brought something to share, like a potluck. We outgrew the ability to cover the...

The reason she stopped is pretty stupid, but if she had stopped because her car just quit, would the biker have been able to stop in time? No, and that's why it's his fault: failure to maintain assured distance. Because life is full of surprises.

Anyone else notice how the hero was never identified? The first responders got face time on the news, with their name scrolling below, but the driver who "should be applauded"? Anonymous.

Mouton the crouton Is sly - you're darn tootin! With loud proclamations to "Ban the van!" He's retiring himself just as quick as he can. ;)

Jenny: if you like to listen to audiobooks, there are 2 I highly recommend: Call the Midwife, by Jennifer Worth, and Code Name Verity, by Elizabeth Wein. Both are excellent, but Midwife is better for short stop & go sessions, Verity is one you want to hear what happens next, lol. I liked Midwife...

I think the word you wanted there is 'contradiction'? Which I don't think it is. You [of all people] know that I will speak up when I think someone has been slammed without provocation or justification. As for my snarky remark, it's justified by the poster pointing out on more than one occasion...

I think it was Babe Ruth who said something about being portrayed as either a hero or a bum - no in between. Apparently truck drivers are like that too, to some people. :rolleyes:

Highway 59 reopens after truck carrying explosive chemicals closes freeway | News - Home Really? He just did exactly what any of us would do: his job.
