Maybe they can just stop using photoshop to give tummy tucks and breast enlargements and giving the models toothpick arms and legs and necks. Most covermodels look like aliens anymore. Just take a normal photo.
Well, they didn't have tighty whiteys back then and I guess if your job was to haul stuff on your back up a hill all day, you might appreciate a little support for your boys or they'd be dragging on the ground.
Yeah, let's get a little perspective. It sucks for the tiger but Chinese peasants are too far removed from eating mud and dirt to survive. I'll be honest. If I'm looking at my 3rd helping of mud for the day, I'll kill a tiger.
ted: Just accept it's a not a black and white issue. For instance, did you know that if you leave your keys in your car and its running outside a convenient store and someone comes along and steals your car and gets in an accident, you can be charged with negligence? It's the same issue, owners have a certain responsibility to avoid negligence with the items they own. If you are worried that you're unsecured wireless will be a problem somehow, lock it down. Take some responsibility.
Another analogy! Yay! It's kind of like the honor system we have around here for farmers (I live in a rural area). Extra produce is often set up on roadside stands, some are elaborate, others are just boxes of produce. Sometimes there's a money box, sometimes not. No one's ever told me for certain but I've assumed these to mean that the produce is being offered and it's either free (no moneybox) or you pay what you feel (donate to the moneybox).
These usually work because of generally accepted community guideline. That would be, don't take more than you need, or pay a fair price. If it gets abused (and some higher traffic stands do) they usually go away. We've had lots of trouble recently with people stealing the moneyboxes.
Anyway, I guess the point is that the situation will fix itself. Either having an open connection won't ever be a problem, or abuse will grow and it will go away.
yes, I was just giving a specualtive satirical take on the situation. I don't believe these people should be in trouble. I was saying that it wouldn't surprise me if, for example, the baby was injured during the birth and some investigator found online postings or something about the intention of the couple to plan a home birth. Then, having this information, attempting to charge the husband with practicing as an unlicensed midwife, which is illegal in some areas.
And absolutely it would be ridiculous, but my entire point was "wouldn't it be funny if..."
Unlicensed midwifes attending to a birth can be charged with a felony in some states and countries. If the state were, for some reason, to believe that the homebirth was planned, it's possible they might state that the father was acting as an unlicensed midwife.
Would it really surprise you to see such a story? I never thought it was likely to happen, just that I could see such a story in the future. What if the baby died because the father screwed up? You don't think someone might get a hair up their butt?
If you eat meat, you're quite ignorant for being against hunting. Easy peasy to pick up a pack of burger from the grocery store. Hunting and killing a deer and turning it into steaks and burger is another thing entirely. It cultivates respect, thanks, awareness.
I hate people, so I purposely drive a Hummer (the original huge one) and I don't recycle, reuse OR reduce. I water my lawn so it's nice and green and I by individually wrapped prunes and throw the wrappers on the ground. I'll be dead when anything bad happens, so suck it.

Metal core in cork ball and a bunch of sleight of hand and the old switcheroo.

and please, by all means, forgive me for engaging in speculation on the internet.

You don't have a sphincter? I bet you use a lot of Depends.
