Anyways, what alot of people don't realise is that the majority of child molesters are not strangers but people that the child knows. We don't do background checks on many people who are responsible for the majority of such incidents. If you are a professional driver, it's definitely possible for reference checks to be done on you. | ||

Back in 2005, I was a contractor in Iraq and had hired Mike's security detail to escort me through Fallujah. Everything was going fine until our convoy was hit by an IED. I don't remember much, but next thing you know, I woke up in a Republican Guard prisoner camp with Mike. I thought we were goners. They took me and Mike into a hut, where there were at least eight armed soldiers placing bets. They were going to make Mike and I play Russian Roulette. Mike convinced a soldier to let him play with three bullets, instead of one, which I thought was crazy. Mike even put the gun to his head once and pulled the trigger. He started laughing, and the soldiers started laughing too. When they let their guard down, he immediately shot three of them in the head, grabbed one of their AKs, and gunned down the other five soldiers. I didn't think we would make it out of that one alive, but thanks to Mike's heroic actions, I am here today. Rambo? It's actually from The Deer Hunter. Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken were originally in this scene. | ||

You know people actually do that. Pay people to drive places. That's a real job. Her reaction seems pretty legit and normal.

If you think being a pest is hilarious (and indeed, when I was a kid I used to think Tom Green was funny), fine, but there's nothing stupid about the person he emailed.

He also usually trolls people for a reason: they're a dickhead boss, they've sent him hate-mail, they're an unreasonable business. Other jackass is just a bad imitation.

The only thing I will give you is that it would probably have been better not to state the age of the passenger, so as to avoid people looking for children.

It's very easy to be judgmental, much harder to actually live a life. Would I look for drivers on craig's list? Probably not. I would probably try to get another parent the child is already familiar with and trusts to do it. But that's also the basic story line of every child molestation ever, so what can I say? Ever had a friend's parent drive you back to your house? Ever gone outside? If you have, you probably take more risks than you're aware. edit: why does it have to be a 40 year old man... If you're that sexist, then surely you can wait till you find a 27 year old woman who wants the job... I guess you're picturing a 40 year old man with a skeevy mustache... hahaha.

Some of the exchanges are funny of course, but in others the "asshole" just looks like this akward guy who makes a bad joke and then laughs hysterically about it. | ||
