Girl dies as bouncy castle blown away

A seven-year-old girl has died after a bouncy castle she was playing on blew away in Essex, England.
A 24-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence.


The article is very short on details, but how does someone get charged with manslaughter for a sudden gust of wind? Another source said it wasn't a windy day, just a sudden gust.

I'm curious on peoples thoughts about this. A drunk driver is pulled over, and then...

a third party runs over and kills the cop who pulled him over. The drunk driver is charged and convicted for the death of the cop. Is this justifiable? I am interested in other peoples opinions here

Reddit poll finds most states hate their own state's college football teams

Kind of funny. Especially in Texas, where Texas and Texas A&M are hated more than University of Oklahoma... I'll admit to being a Californian and hating USC, though I don't know why so many hate Stanford and UCLA

Can Hillary directly bash Obama's race (African American) in 2008 and still win AA votes in 2016?

Re-posted as an OP based on someone's recommendation.

Sanders has a problem reaching voters in the AA community vs. Hillary, based on Sanders saying Obama's policies can be improved on. What has Hillary said about Obama in recent history? Well.... it wasn't good last time she ran for president. Is this a double standard?

It was a good super bowl

The old saying is "defense wins super bowls". I think that was on display tonight. Carolina defense put up a great fight as well. Hope everyone had a great time, congrats to bronco fans, and to Carolina fans... I think you guys will have another shot next year. Cheatriot fans can eat shit

Our "youth" (actually 18-20 year old adults) and their safe places in colleges

This has been a topic of debate both in the media and here on DU. I have wondered how my wife, a junior college English/critical thinking instructor, has been untouched by this debate the last 2 years. The last time I tried to bring up the topic she instantly shut me down. That changed today.

Yesterday she brought up a simple exercise... "lets have an in class discussion, and lets stereotype men instead of women" (I am told it was even presented sarcastically, which sounds like her nature) she started the exercise by saying "men have yucky facial hair" .... definitely something she would say.

She is in deep shit now with the JC admin over that. One student complained about this exercise in critical thinking and her initial prompt.... fucking seriously? She gives me shit about my facial hair on a daily basis, but when she says that single, un-offensive line to start a dialogue, some special snow flake gets offended to the point where her job is being threatened? JFC.

Looking for an intelegent woman...

...is a direct quote from an online dating profile a younger female coworker just showed me. I don't think you can get an intelligent woman if you are asking for an "intelegent" woman... millennials are really an interesting generation that should be studied, and then Gen. X needs to reproduce all over again and get it right this time :p
