Rape!.....Or just statistically managed bu!!crap?

She Raped Him, Using Guilt and Arguing | The Volokh ConspiracyThe Volokh Conspiracy:
"Last week, JAMA Pediatrics published Prevalence Rates of Male and Female Sexual Violence Perpetrators in a National Sample of Adolescents, which promptly hit the news (see, e.g., this USA Today story and this National Geographic story, among many others).
The results, based on a survey of 1058 youths age 14 to 21, were shocking:
“Nearly 1 in 10 youths reported some type of sexual violence perpetration in their lifetime” — that means they had committed sexual violence.

But then one looks closely, and what does one see under “tactics used” (a question asked about the last “perpetration” of “attempted or completed rape”)? 

Of the 49 perpetrators, 10 reported that they used physical force or threat of physical force; 10 more reported that they used alcohol, 23 reported that they used “guilt,” and 21 reported that they used “arguing and pressuring victim” (since more than one answer was possible, the amounts add up to more than 49). 

So 80% of the reported “rape[s]” involved neither force nor the threat of force, and 59% involved only “guilt” or “arguing and pressuring victim,” with no use of force, threat of force, or even alcohol.

So actually only 1% of the respondents had used physical force or threat of physical force to get sex. 

Another 1% used alcohol; this might involve what the legal system would label rape (e.g., getting someone so drunk that they became unconscious and then having sex with them), but certainly need not (e.g., giving someone some alcohol to loosen their inhibitions). 

The remainder of the supposed rapists or attempted rapists aren’t really rapists at all.

Ginormous balloon closer to popping------- Federal Reserve Balance Sheet Increases By $50 Billion In One Week, $100 Billion In One Month, $1 Trillion In One Year

Fed Balance Sheet Increases By $50 Billion In One Week, $100 Billion In One Month, $1 Trillion In One Year | Zero Hedge: "Five years after the "recovery" began, the Fed continues to monetize more debt as part of QE3 than at any time in history, and certainly more than during QE1, Twist, and QE2, as can be seen on the chart below (remember: all that matters is the flow, as we noted well over a year ago, and as even the Fed has finally realized).
Why is this important?
Because as even the Treasury has now admitted, the Fed's daily liquidity injections are all that matters.
Of note: in the just completed week, the Fed's balance sheet increased by over $50 billion (again, in one week), by $100 billion in the past month, and by just shy of $1 trillion in the past year. "

Docs worried sick over ObamaCare

Docs worried sick over ObamaCare | New York Post:

“I will not accept it.”"

Obamacare levies fines on non-profit hospitals that offer free healthcare to the poor

Poor Richard's News - Obamacare levies fines on non-profit hospitals that offer free healthcare to the poor:
"It’s ironic isn’t it?
The left’s chief complaint about the American healthcare system is that it’s “for profit,” but Obamacare will end up forcing non-profit hospitals to either go under or become for-profit institutions themselves. 

From day 1, Obamacare has not been about improving healthcare or making it more affordable.
It’s been about government control.
Sadly, the American people are only now beginning to find out the truth about how devastatingly unaffordable the Affordable Care Act really is."

Another "Einstein" promises to "boost my quality of life" by taking my money..........Question of the Day: Should Norton Shores develop a downtown district?

Question of the Day: Should Norton Shores develop a downtown district? | MLive.com

Should Norton Shores city officials work to develop a downtown district?

Norton Shores resident Jason Flanders thinks so.

The pharmaceutical salesman, who is one of five candidates vying for four at-large city council seats, said a downtown development could help the municipality remedy what he has called its “identity problem.”

Flanders said the city should look to popular West Michigan destinations like Holland and Grand Haven as examples of how downtown districts can help shape a city’s image and boost residents' quality of life.

This guy seems to have as much experience and success in flying 747 airliners as he has in retail development.
I wouldn't fly in his airliner.
I wouldn't let him "fly" with my tax dollars.
Do something.
With your money.
Achieve something.
With your money.
Then tell me how great you'd be with MY money.

The American Spectator : Boyhood Is Not a Mental Illness:
"But along the way he raises the taboo question of whether we “label boys as mentally unstable, behaviorally unmanageable, academically underachieving, in need of special-education services, or displaying behavior warranting school suspension just because their behavior deviates noticeably from that of the average girl?”

He adds, “In a sense, girl behavior has become the standard by which we judge all kids.”"

"DETROIT, MI - With 78,000 empty buildings in a 139-square-mile city, Detroit has been ragged on both physically and mentally, with some national news outlets even showing aerial video of the uniquely giant and vacant Packard Plant while equating it to the city’s blight.

But Detroit residents and members of Michigan United have released a plan that they said will help Detroiters keep their homes, while bringing redevelopment to areas beyond Midtown and downtown."

"The map shows the percentages of the U.S. population medically defined as obese, which means a body mass index of 30 or greater, by state, from 1985 to 2010.

Decline of the middle-class?

Judging by the availability of cheap calories and the increase in obesity, the poor and the middle class must be doing pretty well today."

Michigan Senate OK's plan to cut off benefits for unemployed residents who fail drug tests

Michigan Senate OK's plan to cut off benefits for unemployed residents who fail drug tests | MLive.com:
 "Unemployed residents who fail or refuse to take a drug test required by a prospective employer could lose jobless benefits under a pilot program advanced Thursday by Michigan's Republican-led state Senate.

The measure, approved largely along party lines in a 28-10 vote, would treat failure or refusal to take a pre-employment drug test as proof that an individual "refused an offer of suitable work."
But it would not require businesses to report results of drug tests unless they choose to.

Democrats in both chambers have raised concerns about the bill"
