Someone told me of a story yesterday that finally triggered a parental response.
Father puts baby in microwave.
I cut the person off, so only imagined the worst... A little girl, the same age as ours (2 months). It turns out she lived, but suffered burns and has already had two skin grafts.
Unfortunately, this is not the only case like this in the news right now. A woman stuck her baby daughter in the microwave and killed her. Her trial has already started I think, so the incident may have occurred a few months ago or more.

The family had moved from Warren, Ark., to Galveston so Mauldin could become a minister.
WTF?!? Are they letting anyone in the ministry these days?
Part of me wants to know what the fuck he was thinking while he was doing that. The other part doesn't care and just wants him killed.

Parents raised their daughter as a vegan, from birth, for 12 years. She now has the spine of an 80 year old woman.
Not literally.

Many is the time I've gone off about how insane the social & political shyte is o'er there. Buddy of mine born in the Scottish Highlands says that no matter what it's like here, it's worse there.

Does anyone think vegans are even remotely sane? The logic behind their belief system is completely flawed.
Vegetarians are worse. They're like Mennonites. "Yeah, we totally believe in this stuff, but only until it becomes inconvenient." At least vegans are committed to their cause 100%.
I mean, they don't eat meat because of the "cruelty to animals" thing, but it's ok to eat the eggs and drink the milk? It's ok to wear the clothes made of leather? It's ok to use medicines and other products tested on animals? It's ok to bug bomb your house? And don't even get me started on it being ok to eat vegetables. What'd a yam do to deserve being killed and eaten?

Vegans who starved baby held guilty.
Georgia's Supreme Court has sentenced an Atlanta couple to life in prison for starving its infant son, rejecting claims by the defense that vegan rules were to blame.
Six-week-old Crown Shakur weighed 3½ pounds when he died in 2004 from extreme malnourishment or starvation. His parents, Jade Sanders and Lamont Thomas, were convicted Monday of malice murder, felony murder, involuntary manslaughter and cruelty to children.
"No matter how many times they want to say, 'We're vegans, we're vegetarians,' that's not the issue in this case," prosecutor Chuck Boring told the court. "The child died because he was not fed. Period."

You know, it might be the hippy in me, but I kind of am against punishing this kind of negligent infanticide. Sure, it's abominable that they killed the kid, but I imagine their grief is punishment enough.
The most important thing is that they're Darwined out of the gene pool.

Stupidity is not a crime. Stupidity that directly causes the death of your child can be. And if your six-week-old child weighs less than four pounds when at that point it should weigh as much as twice what it did at birth not at least consulting a physician about it is stupidity to the degree of being criminal.

I honestly do not believe that all parents have as much connection to their children that I personally would deem "normal."
I think some people are not incapable of giving much of a shit about their kids. Read some child abuse forums, sometime.
So, let these dumb fuckers rot in jail.

6 months, maybe.
But yeah, burn/rot, baby-killers.

I looked around before I posted and found that at six weeks weights were between 150% and 200% of birth weight. I'm comfortable with my assertion.

This must be one of those times were actual experience matters more.
Babies double on average at 4 months, triple by 12 months.
