Just awful:

The 22-year-old Madison woman’s Honda Accord crashed around midnight Thursday on I-20 in Covington, east of Atlanta. The State Patrol said Anderson was racing another car, lost control and clipped a passing truck.

They want the child support SOOOOO bad and the dads are SUCH deadbeats. The kids REALLY need to be with their mothers.

Truly revolting.

Its not really fair to criticize women for behavior both genders engage in, let alone for one that is predominantly male. Stop focusing on gender 100% of the time, its a form of cognitive cancer that will pollute you thought processes if you let it. Detach yourself from news stories, look at the narrative from a neutral position- not the position where you're looking to confirm what you already believe.

^^^I have read stories about men driving drunk with their kids in the car. That's bad, too. I have not, however, ever read about a man doing the same thing.

I read a story where two grown men shot a baby in the face- right in front of the mother when she was going for a walk with the stroller. There are evil and stupid people of both genders. Focusing on evil and stupid behaviors, which are gender neutral, is a waste of time and is not fair to the gender being blamed.

If you want to focus on gender injustice to fight, or even rant about, find topics that are actually valid. Not statistical abnormalities.

Its easy to criticize Snooki, but remember that its even easier to criticize The Situation.

Yeah, that story was in my state (happened in Brunswick Georgia) as well and was a completely different set of circumstances. Just quit while you're behind.

The woman in the story has to live with the knowledge that she it was her own recklessness and irresponsibility that killed her baby. That's enough.

She can crank out another benefit getter anytime she wants.

Normally, I would somewhat agree, but if you read the article, it appears as though the girl is trying to transfer the blame to the (now dead) boyfriend and another vehicle. Can't even live up to her idiocy.

I'm sorry, this post is pure bullshit. Men do NOT predominantly street race with infants in the car. Men do a lot of risky sports and activities, but they don't typically carry their infant children with them while they do it.

Uhmm, no it's not. Situation is having his needs met and his goals achieved at an extremely high level. Snook, not so much. The rest of your post is similarly off base.

This isn't really a gender issue, more like a great reason why more teenage girls should be given IUDs when they hit puberty.

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

It's certainly an argument against the theory that women are non-aggressive and non-thrill-seeking creatures whom are safer for babies than men.

Honda Accord? What kind of 'street race' is this?
