This is why teenagers shouldn’t have sex 0

Part of me thinks that this is fake. But, here is a message that a girl posted on Yahoo!

My period was supposed to start yesterday, I have never had sex but have fingered myself.

She wanted to know if she was pregnant.

That beats the stupid urban legend that a woman got pregnant after a disgruntled pizza delivery boy ejaculated on her pizza.

Reality TV shows shouldn’t be made in emergency rooms! 0

I was watching Trauma: Life in the E.R. and it just really got my blood boiling. Doctors who do not have enough time to sterilize a patient’s brain before surgery certainly shouldn’t waste their time telling the cameraman what he’s about to do. Every second counts.

Yes, that actually happened. I watched a doctor explain why they didn’t have time to sterilize the man’s head before the surgery, then he talked to the cameras while doing the surgery, explaining that he had to hurry and make a decision about whether to continue with the operation. That pissed me off.

And, I wonder when they get a patient to sign release papers to be shown on television. I hope it’s after the patient has recovered and not while the patient is in pain on the stretcher, not fully understanding what is going on.

So, what’s your take on this? Tell me that I’m not the only person who screams at the television wondering why the doctors are talking to the cameramen instead of tending to their dying patients.

Defendant to Judge Joe Brown: I’m not a statistic 0

So, I’m watching Judge Joe Brown and he starts telling these two African-American females that they both have kids and should be trying to get child support from the fathers.

How does he know that they’re not receiving financial support from the fathers in the first place? The defendant pointed that out-somewhat. She said of his comment, “That’s not fair.”

Then, when he wanted to know why, she replied, “I’m not a statistic.”

Of course, he tried to get his word in and said, “Maybe not from your perspective…”

She went on to explain that the father of her child died. For some reason, he wanted to know how old he was when he died and how he died. I guess he just can’t accept defeat or admit when he’s wrong. That’s not good when you’re a judge, by the way. He could only say that the man’s death was tragic and moved on to give his verdict.

I can’t believe that he made such a huge assumption about these two females. And, before you freak out, Judge Joe Brown is African-American. But, it’s still such a horrible thing to assume about someone. I’ve always been a Judge Joe Brown fan, so this was very disappointing. I can’t believe that they actually aired that part of the case.

For the record, I think that everyone is a statistic.
