Budding psychopaths? Study hints traits may be seen in kids' brains
Thu May 2, 2013
- I think it would be better not to label children "Psychopathic" when all they are exhibiting is a lack of natural empathy- which could be a trait they could develop with the right treatments.
Boston bombing suspects' father 'a good man,' neighbors in Dagestan say
Sun Apr 21, 2013
- The brothers did not attack the United States. They attacked accomplishment. They attacked people who work, strive and achieve....they attacked the Marathon. Please don't make this about Muslims or Chehnya. It's about malcontents who resent people who work hard and achieve.

Mother's intuition: Why we should follow our 'gut feelings'
Thu Apr 18, 2013
- It's not only moms! My friend's husband called from work and said "Where's Son's name?" My friend said "He's napping" and he said to her "Put down the phone and go look at him". He was gone. The toddler had somehow gotten out of his crib and was out the door and down the street. There were a f …
'I just have to get over the finish line': Runner speeds past bomb to complete marathon
Mon Apr 15, 2013
- I think the news media is presenting this as the runner choosing to "finish the race at all costs". At that point, it would have been impossible for her to get up onto the sidewalk....there were barriers.
United flight diverted after family complains about movie
Mon Apr 8, 2013
- THEY didn't ask to have the plane diverted. The pilot diverted the plane because he felt he needed to show the cattle....er that is the paying passengers...who was boss. My plane, my choice of movie content. Serial killers who specialize in torture? You have no problem with a five year o …
Long-lost 'twins' turn Internet meeting into Kickstarter success
Fri Apr 5, 2013
- Why do they need a DNA test? Do their birth certificates not show the names of their birth parents?
Target apologizes for 'manatee' label on plus-size dress
Thu Apr 4, 2013
- It was so obviously not intended as an insult that it is hard to see why it is news. They have other clothing in this color. It was an oversight...not an intentional commentary on obesity.
Q&A: What we know - and don't -- about health exchange prices
Fri Mar 29, 2013
- JayEll- I always thought that access to health care would prevent illness. Unfortunately, that's like saying access to aspirin prevents headaches. Studies have shown that very few preventive procedures save money in the aggregate. Even fairly inexpensive programs- like education programs for diabeti …
Gun store owner cancels Mark Kelly's AR-15 purchase
Tue Mar 26, 2013
- It doesn't sound easy to purchase a gun. He purchased it earlier this month , still needs to fill out additional forms and has to wait 20 days? That doesn't sound like it was purchased to show how easily you can get an assault weapon.

Questions & Answers

No, what's wrong with water in a sippy cup?
What's the best age to start having kids?
In your 20s
Do you think it's OK for parents to bring kids to work?
No. Most work environments are not kid-friendly and kids should definitely not be allowed to participate in the work when the safety of others is involved.
- There was a case in India where a surgeon allowed his 14 year old son to do some of the operation. His defense was that he was completely supervised and "had done it many times before." JFK is one of the busiest airspaces in the country.

Spending habits: What amount do you discuss with your spouse?
I check with my spouse before spending anything over $150.
Is it OK to discipline someone else's child?
Maybe. It depends on how close the child's parent is. But if they're not nearby and safety is involved, you should definitely speak up.
- I wouldn't discipline someone's child but I'd take a steak knife away from them! If a child won't follow my rules, he/she gets to go home!
Gifting gone wild: Can kids get too much at the holidays?
Yes. The pile of presents gets crazy and overwhelming and the kids really can't appreciate it all.

Should 6-year-old be suspended for bringing utensil to school?
No, this is ridiculous.
- Don't they have knives, forks and spoons in the cafeteria?
- I'm sorry I don't even understand your comment. Are you suggesting a black six year old armed with a spoon/knife/fork implement is more dangerous than a white child? A cute child is less dangerous than an ugly child? What are you saying exactly? You know, children sometimes carry equipment that c …
