Possibly: It is just as or more likely that you, as a child, might have had to deal with the juvenile justice system, depending on your age. 4-5, maybe not, but 10-12? Definitely. I'll add that your treatment would likely depend on the

Agreed with other poster: If you own land that is completely surrounded by other land, you generally have the right to go through other's land. But on the other hand, it really isn't "allmansrätten" either. (I am from th

No. And I never have. I would have been sterilised when I was 20, but they don't really like to sterilise young, childless women. Or sometimes not childless women. Luckily, my spouse is. The only real thing I've kept on the table

It isn't that these stories exist, but the tone one takes with them. I mean, sure, Home Depot employees can't change everyone's attitudes to health care, but the folks talking about it and giving it national attention could f

I don't really enjoy exercise at all, at least when I'm sober. Get stoned, use an app to tell me where I'm walking, and wind up at a picturesque spot with music in my ears, though? Or go on a scenic route to a grocery store t

This is not my experience at all. I am more motivated to eat healthier, exercise, and so on when I smoke regularly. I spent most of my 20's sober and the opposite in my 30's and overall, my experience in my 30's was much bett

This is pretty laughable for me. Many Americans are underserved by their assigned politicians. Gerrymandering based on political gain merely makes it worse. The most representative folks they have to vote for generally have little power to

If you are a full-time employee at a large enough firm that also has enough density of employees in your area.

Well, yes and no. Not if you work for a small company - I can't remember the numbers, but x employees within x range. I'm pretty sure some larger companies wind up not having to follow FMLA. And as others have said, it is unpaid

Folks give birth without becoming a mother and one can be a mother without giving birth. Surrogates exist, for example. Folks give infants up for adoption. In this case, you can wind up with a mother who didn't birth the child and a pe

And folks do skip going to the doctor, ration their medicines, and other such things. Folks suffer until things are an emergency as well and hospitals won't always help if you, say, need surgery for cancer that isn't presently kil

Proper windows give lots of sunshine. Greenhouses are full of them. You can also mimick it by the right lighting. If I were really going to include something I missed, though, it'd be wind.

I've been in a few places with inside trees: Most notably, "Arby's" (a fast-food restaurant) and nursing homes. Sometimes, places simply have a hole in the foundation that allows access to the ground. These holes often h

They've been slowly giving police departments "surplus" military equipment for some time now. I can easily imagine a similar fate for this, just as I can easily see the FBI, ATF, or other such government agency using this.

These points would be much better argued if there were a history of people being able to trust the US government overall. But there isn't. It is prudent to think that the government, in general, will head down the same avenues they hav

"if you are healthy enough to hit the gym you are healthy enough to go home." Not everyone is in the hospital as a patient and not every patient is in the hospital for something very dire. For example, I was in the hospital for 3

No, but the pharmacies hold only a little bit of power over that stuff. If the single payer health plan won't cover x medicine because y is cheaper and just as effective, x is rarely going to be ordered. X being an equal price to y mea

Yes, in some areas - especially for juveniles and folks on probation or parole.

When I was young - before 18 - kids wound up in juvenile all the time for being out after curfew, which was 11 during the week and 12 or 1am on weekends. you were supposed to be allowed out to work a job, but folks got harassed nonetheless.

I cannot imagine being severely depressed, entering a study for it since I'm resistant to most of the drugs, finding one that works.... and then having to stop the thing that works and return to a crappy mind state. Only it is worse be

It isn't always good, though. "Teenage Pregnancy", for example. Most folks picture someone young. 15-16, perhaps. Most folks don't stop to consider that a very sizable portion of "teenage pregnancy" happens to

I really think that should say, "If 10% of people buy wind power, at least 10% of the grid should be wind." Alternatively, if folks suddenly demand wind and the supply is not there, I'd think there should be some sort of wa

Do you then remind them that they might need to check their biases? After all, kids learn all sorts of dubious things from "innocent" Places and well-off kids use things like drugs at a similar rate. They are simply less likely to

Probably quite a few. New things happen. Politics, wars, famous folks, movies, music, diseases, scientific studies, products, brands, model numbers for products, fads and slang. I'm guessing there are other things as well. Some of the

I generally agree with you. Having a grocery store within walking distance and safe walking has been one of the joys of moving to Norway from the states. Not having a car is very freeing and puts some room in finances. The closest I've

Bike lanes in neighborhoods aren't as necessary as the traffic is slow and there isn't much in neighborhoods to bike to - grocery stores, jobs, and so on. This is pretty much a recipe for failure. Instead, we need major corridor

When I was a kid in the 90's, I could see a movie for $1.50 in the evenings or $1 for a matinee ... in the midwest. They weren't first run movies, but rather movies that were in between their time in the movies and when they went
