Bullies

bullying is huge problem in schools …again. and no longer is it the golden age of a father sitting his son down and giving him the old, “you know how you handle a bully, son? you punch him right in the nose!” and the kid heads out into a certain beating of a lifetime – …

Urine Capers

Did you know that if you get caught urinating in public and it’s near a school, you can be charged with a sex crime? That seems harsh. Some people need the sound of running water to help them go, but I doubt there’s anyone who actually needs to hear the sound of childish merriment in …

Guns

even if you’re the most avid anti-gun person, you would still have to admit that shooting a gun is pretty fun. for some reason, seeing a bullet go into a target or person or animal or can at any distance brings us a certain amount of joy. there’s a recoil, a little puff of smoke …
