More proof that, in general, men are idiots
Our take: This article will probably only surprise the jerks who “teach” men how to be players with women. The rest of us, especially those of us who raised boys, will not be surprised in the least. 2 men in their forties broke a 10,000-year-old Mammoth tusk in a museum when one man jumped on the other man’s back and tried to hang from the tusk, pulling it from its anchors and smashing it on the floor.
Bro – we must do better. This is embarrassing to us as a gender. Let’s raise our game.

Frontier kicks a deaf woman off the flight for “not listening” to the flight crew
Our take: We are not making this up. Frontier kicked a deaf woman off a flight despite other passengers defending the woman and explaining that she has a hearing problem. Fly Frontier at your own risk.

Federal judge strikes down Ten Commandments displays in public school districts in Arkansas
Our take: Yes, yes, and yes. I am a huge supporter of religion. People, kids included, should be free to practice and observe their religions as they see fit, including at school. The second that turns from a person practicing privately to a religion foisting their beliefs on others against their will, it’s a no-go. When I was a kid, back before electricity, we said the Pledge of allegiance every morning to start the day.
We had 2 Jehovah’s Witnesses in our class, who simply went out in the hallway while it was recited, so they were not forced to participate in a ritual they did not believe in. Forcing public schools to display the tenets of a religion on their campus is clearly well beyond the pale. We applaud this judge for applying the law as it was written.
