No, that's a new concept. But thanks for the valuable tip.
It's also good to know that you wouldn't mind being in these parents' shoes b/c it's all in the name of research.
glad you're not my parent

Poor little angel. I can only say that she suffered less than she would have if she had survived and stayed with the horrible "mother".
Horrible? She was probably a terrified teen-ager who may have delivered her own baby. For all we know this child was the result of a rape and she was also suffering from that trauma. Let's stop the name calling until you have the facts.
Even a teenager who was raped and delivered her own child is a horrible mother if she leaves the child outside in freezing weather to die. It doesn't mean that she didn't experience horrible things herself. But leaving a baby to die in the freezing cold makes you a horrible mother.
It's rare to find a teen who DOES make a good mother. Of the ones I know, THEIR mothers are raising their children. You have no idea what has happened to the person who delivered this baby. And I bet that had YOUR daughter been in this mess, you would have given every excuse in the book to protect her.
But would you be so ready to put your teen-age daughter in prison for 30-life?
I think there are definetly some good teenage mothers, but there is a world of difference between your average teenage mother and this sort of horror of a mother.
If my teenage daughter left my grandchild out in the freezing cold to die I would be beyond horrified/angry/distraught/etc.
That's the million dollar question for this scenario. I doubt many parents could go that far.
And while there may be "good" teenage moms, the good ones have family support, which doesn't mean enabling. Usually, teen moms give birth to teen moms, and the cycle continues. Sadly, abuse may be part of the cycle - physical, emotional, sexual. A child's life is ruined at that point. So what empathy can she possibly have left?

a) You've never had kids.
b) Plastic surgery is your friend.
c) You have kids but you were born with silicone boobs that bounce back after each pregnancy.
Which is it?

Also, I worry that people who may not be familiar with that technicality will think I had a typo or got the word wrong.
Thoughts from the gallery? TIA.
I'm used to it, but then again, that's my upbringing.
To one, it's brava. To a group (should you be complimenting a team), it's brave.
terrible yes
But it was probably some scared teen who had no network of support.

So it has to be that blatant for you to think something may be off with these murals? Quite honestly, I think they're brutal enough. What's the point? Even if you research the artist, Leo Tanguma, who claims to juxtapose genocide with humanity, where are the truly "harmonious" works?
Art interpretation is far from my strongest skill (much closer to my weakest), but it seems pretty clear that the first one is a comment on the brutality of war and the "happy family" shows all the world's people united in peace while bending a sword into a plowshare. I am reminded a bit of Picasso's "Guernica".
interesting piece by Picasso.
If you look at the top, you'll see the "all-seeing eye," which includes the light inside it. To the bottom left, on the figure's hand, is a star/pentagram. (I blew up the graphic to get a closer look.) There is the horned animal (bull/baphomet figure). These are just a few observations. It's quite fascinating actually.
I have to assume you're being tongue in cheek...but I did laugh out loud.
Now, I thought this would be a thread complaining about security at DIA. Where they once asked me if I could "take out" my pacemaker during their security check. Seriously.

So I guess you think they're beautiful works of art?
Well, it's not a crucifix in a jar of urine.
What's your point?

Much of the info comes from Rik Clay, who's new to me.
London is the capital of England and there will be unprecedented security all over. However, this may make a terrorist think that security is lax in Wash., D.C. and the perfect time strike. Now, you have a real problem in deciding where you are going to be during the Olympics, don't you.
So you think it's a hot time for an attack?
From your use of terrorist, you don't think it's an inside job, do you?
scary situation you bring up, however . . .
