WTF on the amount of money wasted on this guy!!
http://www.murderpedia.org/male.K/k/kosilek-robert.htm

Dafuq. Seriously, dafuq. I don't even know where to begin explaining just how much of a WTF that guy/gal is, let alone his attorney. "Denying a sex change procedure constitutes cruel and unusual punishment"? "The procedure is medically necessary"? Jesus Christ, sex change is a choice, not a fucking necessity.

It ought to be a right.

While I bet many people would like to see the source for that, I bet it won't happen. :P It's just too dangerous to print in a thesis, however tempting. I hope they understand that...

On the other hand, if they store it in a cloud(or just university database), we might be in trouble :3

I'm torn here. On one hand, a person experiencing gender dysphoria is legitimately under severe mental anguish, as their brain chemistry is wired for a body that is not the one they have. It can be truly horrific if there is no outlet, and could lead to a breakdown. However, on the other hand, this person is a murderer, and all rights to live within the bounds of normal society, as well as mercy and pity, should be forefit.

"Should be" is a really very much arguable statement in that last bit, MZ. Punshiment -- and removal from such concerns as mercy and pity definitely count, there -- is only something rightly invoked in a prescriptive statement when it has some functional benefit -- otherwise it's at best revenge and at worst base sadism. If re-integration is not intended, then punishment beyond removal (either by life imprisonment or execution) has no functional purpose -- revenge is certainly neither something societies particularly benefit from, nor something once enacted that does much for most victims.

It's strongly arguable that allowing people to act for vengeance or punishment instead of just or right action is deleterious -- especially on the net -- for the society that allows it. Stripping people of their rights in excess of necessity is definitely not just, nor right, and there are, indeed, some things you can't do to a murderer and retain the position of virtuous -- or even non-immoral -- action. No torture, no slavery, no rape, etc. Though a lot of penal systems have trouble with all of the above. Most of them are some of the most immoral and useless (fucking counterproductive, in many cases! Worse than useless) pieces of shit still allowed to function in a modern society. Understand the urge toward action beyond the necessary and functional (gods fornicate but do I), but right (i.e. "should be"), it is not.

Now, I might be convincible that a sex change op for a lifer isn't necessary, but that's a far different statement from saying that a murderer should have all human rights stripped from them.

Basically, do no harm except the necessary, and never in excess. Even for the worst of human filth, that rule should not -- must not, on an organizational or systemic level -- be broken. Doing so has caused more damage to our species than the collective weight of every murderer that's lived and died.

Got these big mushrooms growing in my back yard. Having small mushrooms is pretty common, but this is the first time I've seen them this huge. Usually about 2-3" tall, now they are 6"+. And they seem to have sprung up literally overnight. I swear, they are visibly larger than even yesterday, and they were huge yesterday! Size aside, they look like the normal species' that grow around here.

If they grow above the clouds within a week, be sure to climb one and see if you can find any geese that lay golden eggs.

Or at least sky giants. Those are cool.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Yeah, if children's stories have taught me anything it's that breaking into a dude's house, stealing all his shit then killing him when he chases you, is totally cool.

Yes, that's a distinct possibility. You should jump on them while you still can.

Euronews confused the city of Tripoli in Lebanon with the city of Tripoli in Lebanon, creating a Libyan-Syrian border.
