‘FIVE RAPE PREVENTION TIPS’

1. If someone is drunk, don’t rape them.

2. When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone.

3. Use the Buddy System! If it is difficult for you to stop yourself from raping someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.

4. Carry a rape whistle. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.

5. Don’t forget: honesty is the best policy. When asking someone out, don’t pretend that you are interested in them as a person. Tell them straight up that you expect to be raping them later. If you don’t communicate your intentions, they may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.”

Christians use 2 Corinthians 2:14 as an excuse for divorce "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols?" To divorce and remarry is biblically considered adultery; but Erika is a widow, and if Usha won't convert JD gets a free pass on divorce, and Christians will just excuse it as the righteous thing for JD to do.

Warren v. District of Columbia "is a District of Columbia Court of Appeals case that held that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to specific citizens based on the public duty doctrine." And Castle Rock v. Gonzales, is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled, 7–2, that a town and its police department could not be sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for refusing to enforce a restraining order, even though the refusal led to the murders of a woman's three children by her estranged husband.

"Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis also known as "tooth in eye" surgery, is a medical procedure to restore vision in the most severe cases of corneal and ocular surface patients. It includes removal of a tooth from the patient or a donor." Essentially, your tooth is implanted in your cheek and once it grows a new blood supply it's taken out and put in your eye to replace a bad cornea. Wikipedia

My uncle is really critical of his kids athletic abilities (as well as his own), and they are now really negative about their own abilities, and my uncle doesn't understand why they don't want to try. I golfed with my cousin today (my uncle in the group behind) and I made it a point to compliment him and have a good time, and he golfed better than normal—not necessarily as good as his inner critic wanted—and had more fun golfing with family than normal. Positive reinforcement always seems more effective to me in helping people grow to meet their hopes and expectations, there are other times to have grounding conversations about whether their hopes and expectations are realistic or attainable, but not when they're eager and trying.
