2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

They probably do, but I imagine that they are probably weighing the benefit to their child of doing that vs the publicity and stress of testifying and such. It’s not to hard to believe that they decide to do nothing is the best course of action. Plenty of adult women who are sexually assaulted come to a similar conclusion for a lot of the same reasons.

You’d expect England to get Afghanistan out for around 180-200 and for England to be able to score over 300.

England was -750

10%? I crushed that. I was out sick all the time.

sick or “sick”

65% sick, 35% “sick”.

sorry your immune system isn’t so good but I couldn’t have gotten away with that other 35% growing up at my house.

I probably created more than one super bug for the amount of antibiotics I took, often for virii.

Interesting. I don’t know whether the premise is accurate, but I can’t say it isn’t either. The truth is, I had the run of the neighborhood even as a ten year old. And we didn’t want our parents around. I grew up in Detroit and was in walking distance to the movies, a golf course, a bowling alley, the candy store. In the summer I’d usually play sandlot baseball, but it didn’t matter. I could go anywhere and as long as I was home by dark, even if I missed dinner, everything was cool. I much preferred that to any structured activities and I think it did promote a sense of independence and responsibility even as a little kid.

some places you’d get the cops called on you if the kid is alone because you are “endangering the kid”

easier to just sit at home and play videogames too
