• Phoebe Prince's Bullies Apologize, Are Sentenced to 1 Year Probation, Community Service (ParentDish)

  May 5th 2011 5:01PM It's a sad, sad shame that Phoebe Prince felt she had no other options than to take her own life. Her parents, teachers and counselors should have stepped in and taken control of the situation. But putting the students that bullied her in jail would not do a thing to teach them how to treat a fellow human being. Compassion is not a skill learned in prison. I think a longer probation period - maybe 5 years - and more commumity service hours would have been an appropriate sentance.

• Boston Bans Soda on City Property (Slashfood)

  Apr 9th 2011 6:23PM I'll bet if the city were collecting SALES TAX on all those demon beverages it wants to stop selling, the tide would turn.

• Why Men Take Out The Trash (Shelterpop)

  Mar 24th 2011 5:48PM I believe it may have to do more with history than with a war between the sexes. Long before there was trash pickup in suburbia, the trash had to be buried or burned when it was taken out. Guys would haul it to the trash pit or burn it (you know how they like to barbecue!) in order to avoid bathing the children and getting them ready for bed.

• She Found Out Her Fiance Was Gay (MyDaily)

  Jan 5th 2011 11:48AM You didn't have the balls to tell her the real reason you didn't want a relationship. You only gave her obstacles she thought she could overcome or wait out. Don't be angry with HER. when your lack of honesty is the real problem.

• New Year's Resolution 2011: Upgrade Your Home, Month by Month (DIY Life)

  Jan 1st 2011 7:18PM It never fails to amaze me that none of these "hints" ever include any challenges. What idiot couldn't organize an 8x10 walk in closet if he/she hired a contractor and spent the amount of money on it that was spent in the example pictured above? How about making the most of a small closet that isn't a walk-in and doesn't have double doors? Or how to patch cracked plaster (which must be done BEFORE you paint in June.)

• Which pink ribbon products make the biggest impact? (WalletPop)

  Oct 27th 2010 2:50PM OR, instead of buying crap in a pink package, just send a cash donation to directly to a charity, where 100% of what you send goes to the charity and you don't feel pressured to buy stuff you don't really need,
