This is really trolling the creationists man.

Sharks are seriously misunderstood animals.

WTF. ONE is bad enough but over 8, and every day. Seriously that is so f****d up. Those poor kids.

I don't doubt that it would be the same in Australia. It's morally criminal that there are people living on the streets when there are so many empty houses. And if a homeless person goes into one of those houses they can be charged with trespassing.

this made me feel special

This is so sad. Alcohol is protected by long standing human custom and sometimes religion, and seems to be exempt from the common classification of a 'drug'. In NZ in level 4 covid lockdown (the first one, most extreme lockdown), we couldn't get takeaways etc delivered. Or go get them. We could only order essential items online, and children's winter clothing was added to the list after a while. BUT: alcohol delivery was all the time, even in level 4. To your door, advertised everywhere. More available for delivery than food. More essential than almost every item, even at one point more important and legslly available before being able to buy clothes for your child. This isn't about the lockdown, the point I'm making is that it was, almost unspoken and nationwide, a 'necessity'. Every other drug (street, pharma, tobacco etc) is treated so differently, but they are no different to alcohol. It is such a juxtaposition and it really upsets me sometimes EDIT: I understand that alcohol dependency is serious, and a person can die without alcohol when they are seriously addicted. That was not the point I was trying to make: I meant the free for all that governments and society allows on alcohol, despite it being a drug like any of the ones they ban/regulate/monitor. It's that unfortunate attitude around alcohol that leaves so many people dependent to the point where alcohol was essential during lockdown, despite no acknowledgement of why that needed to be available

Mine is a CPAP machine.

sooo - drink bleach, like trump said...?

Also, the number of fatal traffic accidents in the United States increased after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, for a period of 12 months due to flying avoidance.

And that's only the USA, there are 8 other countries with such warheads

It's a fact that there are more airplanes in the ocean than there are submarines in the sky.

I can only find statistics from America on this - anyone have numbers that apply to the rest of us?

American cops.

Deceiving statistic. That study was from the 80's and based on two very large police forces on the east coast that were KNOWN for corruption and violence.

I'm interested to hear the source of this claim. Here in CA, if a police officer or correctional officer are charged with domestic violence, they are fired. I don't believe your statistic is correct.

just sad.

Yeah and they don't get busted for it because cops protect cops. If I had pursued criminal justice, I would so be in Internal Affairs. I would love to nail dirty cops to the wall. And in an alternate universe I am doing just that.

Source?

That's almost half!

ACAB

Except this has been debunked, it is 40% of cops with some form of PTSD from the job are abuser. People just edited out the PTSD part and made it into generic "cops"

curious the percentage of cops who are cheaters. I worked in retail for many years and cops often work part time security jobs. I have been hit on by so many cops over the course of my 26 years in retail it's not even funny. And it's not like I was super hot or anything, just decently attractive. It was ridiculous!

It's been known for years: ACAB. ;)

That is a very high number if it's true...

That's so high.

I'm surprised it isn't more.

thank you for that information

Not where I live...luckily

Says who? If true, this stat would be unknowable. Sounds like anti-cop propaganda.

I feel just a bit unsafe now

Dubiously precise statistic since "domestic a use" is sucha broad term...

True here

Oh, so that's why they're predators! They predate!

52!
