The Founding Fathers guaranteed trial by jury three times in the Constitution—more than any other right—since juries can serve as the final check on government’s power to enforce unjust, immoral, or oppressive laws. But in America today, how independent can a jury be? How much power does a jury have, to not only judge a defendant’s actions, but the merits of the law? What happens when jurors decide in criminal trials not to enforce the law or not to convict a defendant if they conclude it would be unjust?
This classic book, originally published 15 years ago and now brought back into wide national view by the Cato Institute, answers these questions by taking readers through a history of jury independence and exploring the range of powers a jury can undertake in ensuring justice and fairness in our cherished legal system.
I don't know, it looks like one of those teenager movies. I hate teenager movies; especially anything in the vein of Heathers.
Teenagers are awful, why would you make a movie about teenagers?
There are "teenager movies" that exist to suck money out of the teen demographic from being "hip" and then there are "teenager movies" that are simply about teenagers.
Probably pretty attention whorish of me, but my mother started berating me while I was near the computer so I captured a bit of it on Vocaroo. I'm posting this here because more people visit the main thread than the angst thread and I want to know if she actually is an emotional abuser or if I'm just imagining things.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
Well like, I'm the exception I guess, relatively speaking. I am the quiet one who listens a lot and talks very little. I get better at avoiding being bitched at.
It definitely sounds to me like she's dead set on trying to guilt trip you into doing her bidding, so I would not pay any heed to that if I were you. I don't give a fuck what her reasons are, she has no right to try and manipulate you with reverse psychology.
In other words: yes, I think your mother is an emotional abuser.
Yeah there was a point where I cared but then I realized that someone who repeatedly says to me that I'm some kind of heartless bastard and that I think she's better off dead is probably full of crap.
Yeah. If you want her to improve, I suggest telling her that you did actually care about her until the emotional abuse began and that if she wants your respect back she's gonna have to earn it all over again.

What Fuschlatz said. I think your mom is emotionally abusive.

This will not work. You will never convince her to improve, and it is unlikely that she will do it on her own. Telling her she doesn't have your respect is giving her what she wants: a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because you are a minor and she has extensive legal power over your life, you respect her whether you think you do or not, otherwise you wouldn't be living in her house and you wouldn't be trying to appease her. If you actually gave her no respect, chances are that you would find yourself in a really bad situation.
I don't mean to be negative, but this is the truth and I am talking from experience.

she isn't anymore though, and also she has been sober for what i think it almost 2 years straight now
i am glad she has improved as a person
