Girls obesssing over getting a "thigh gap."

I've never heard one of my girl friends ever list that as a fitness goal. The only time I ever hear about it is in the media. Or maybe I just don't hang out with crazies. Idk.

I'm gonna say that one is real. About 20 or so teenagers were just sentenced for attacking a Kroger worker while he was rounding up buggies. One of them was good enough to film and put it on facebook. That is what led to the arrests.

I think the healthcare "crisis" circa 2008 qualifies.

Yeah, not sure why people would think that one isn't something real, since there is video evidence all over the place, and people are being convicted for doing that shite.

It may not be rampant everywhere, but it's definitely happening.

Let's hear it for the late 70's - early 80's panic over Dungeons and Dragons as a gateway activity for Satanism!
