It's not even unique to WW2. The Japanese killed somewhere between 3 and 10 million Chinese civilians, burning some of them alive. If that range sounds insane, it's because it is. Some estimates put the number of civiians killed by the Japanese as high as 20 million. Wikipedia.

Assuming that getting married means you'll never masturbate again.

Not true as I've often been born on January 1st in the early 1900's.

Alright, so I'm studying to be a counselor, and one of the methods they taught us about using with little kids was called sand tray therapy. It's where you put toys/dolls/objects in a small sandbox and ask the kids to tell a story with them. The idea is that they might not have the right words yet, but they can communicate ideas and emotions more easily in pretend play. Anyway, they show us a video of this little girl setting up a doll for her dad, her dad's new girlfriend, and herself. The therapist asks her what would the scene be like if it were perfect....the little girl flicks her finger to knock the new girlfriend face down in the sand and walks off holding her dad's hand; leaving the new girlfriend behind. And in that moment, I understood the power of sand tray therapy.

Fun fact, if you could pull out one dollar per second and went nonstop, it would take over 11 days to pull out all one million dollars.

I go from -"that's stupid" to "aww hell no" the second I find out the school accepts even a single dollar of taxpayer money.

Today's phrase is "garnish your wages." If their protest doesn't involve moving to another country it's not going to happen. I've thought about it too, but my contingency,for that definitely involves moving to Scandinavia.
