In booju_newju, a news story about a woman who allegedly murdered her child is posted; the woman will not be charged due to a legal loophole about baby and mother still being attached by umbilical cord and placenta. Sad, right?

No! jessy1019 thinks that this law is terrific. This woman's not a murderer! In fact, she might turn out to be a good mom in the future. And you know what? There are times when killing your baby after birth is the best possible choice. Thank god this lady won't be charged.

I think enough people in the community know not to egg her on, so this may be all we get. Unless some confused newbie wanders by...

Edit: Here are Jessy's murder-is-the-choice scenarios. Baby will have a short and miserable life? May as well make it even shorter and even more miserable.

Hey there :)

I recently bought Jonathan Safran Foer's book Eating Animals & anticipate finishing it this week. While I've absolutely loved this book so far, I don't see myself re-reading it anytime soon. So, I was wondering, if anyone has Mary Karr's book Lit, if they'd be willing to trade. Otherwise I could totally go for James Joyce's Ulysses. Heck, if I really think about it, I just might take anything :)

Any takers/traders?

( if you only knew )

Over in cat_lovers (Yes, cat_lovers wank. Who knew?) ibritt posts a series of pictures making it appear that President Obama is throwing a snowball at a cat.

It's worth a giggle, except to _magicsocks , who "fail[s] to see the humor in that", along with an icon about abusing stupidity.

She couldn't careless what other people think of her.

She's done (done, I say!) with the chat. So if you don't hear from her, that's why! (JSYK)

But she's not a drama queen - she deleted a bunch of comments. Not in the thread - in her email.

The best part though isn't when she flounces: "But after the crap that took place in this community over something stupid and some kept it going. I could have understood it if it was about being mean to a cat or something like that. But it was a simple misunderstanding. I won't be in a community like that."

It's when she flounces and comes back to comment more! (Be on the lookout for hilarious malapropism, and calling of the "grammer police")

You see, she didn't think it was a fake picture! Luckily, she has an advocate in nutbar lil_goldielocks. She's an animal lover and KNEW it was fake and STILL didn't find it funny!

From TQC:

Let's get high on weed and babysit!

I can function on weed!

lafemmedarla and blienky27 are the winners of the December Book Raffle. Congratulations! Send me your mailing addresses by LJ message, and I'll select a book from your lists and mail it to you, post haste.

Santa Min is very pleased that so many bookswampers participated in this raffle. *\:-)

Over in aramatheydidnt, a Japanese pop culture community, an entry about how over 40% of Japanese people see no need to have children brought in a whole lot of stupid.

First we have some relatively tame stupid from mele_3_4 who doesn't quite understand how birth-rates relate to immigration. We can accept that, maybe she just hasn't read a whole lot of books with words in them.

Things get interesting when nymphetamosa reckons Aboriginal Australians should just "get over" the British taking their lands because it happened such a very long time ago. But it gets worse when she suggests that Aboriginal Australians should be thankful for colonialism, I mean now they even have electronics, communication and societal marginalisation. There's a glass ceiling above me but at least I have an iPod!
