Shit would make a lot more sense if he was 15 or something, mad crush on his 12 year old cousin.
Being 31, I'm consistently amazed by the age of pubescence and it's ever-dwindling nature. You hear guys say, quite often, that 'teenaged girls didn't look like that back in the day.'
And they're right, when I was in high school in the early 90's, sex was on our minds, but even the cheerleaders had some Thick in their Bisquik or the 'slim' girls were beanpoles. The guys were pretty much the same way: chunky, beefy, skinny or wiry. Nobody looked good, just awkward.
But back to my point: adolescents have a shocking amount of sexuality thrust in their faces on a regular basis and it's not difficult to see the correlation of what they observe and what they emulate. Hell, Britney, Christina, the Jessicas and the Pussycat Dolls alone have set a monumental standard for what is attractive. And if you happen to be male, well, you better dance like Timberlake, flex like Tyrese and use $100 shampoo on that gorgeous mane of hair by the age of fourteen or you're fucked forever.
At least that's what is being laid down for the younger crowd, as far as I can see.

I think it is more about being exposed to higher competition, then striving to match it. Mass media can show great competition, that just furthers peoples goals to be as attractive as possible.

But 99 percent of the prison population are sub-human pieces of fucking trash that deserve a savage pummeling from one of these
How do you know this?
My dad, two of my uncles and two of my aunts worked as corrections officers for about 10 years each.
And would you say it is more appropriate to treat the ninety-nine better than they deserve? Or to treat the one worse than they deserve?
Second one. Treating the ninety nine percent better means you're treating child molesters and rapists and multiple murderers and fucking assassins for the Cuban mafia (all fine, fine potentially innocent citizens of the max-sec prison outside Ely, Nevada my family worked at) as if they aren't the absolute scum of the earth.
Except that 80% of people in American prisons are on drug-related charges and if we had a sane crime policy in this country would never be in jail in the first place because possession should never be a crime
Oh and let's not forget all the petty thieves, muggers, and similarly mundane criminals. Yeah, but keep justifying horrific assault, murder, and rape that occurs in prisons and guards turn a blind eye to, and sometimes participate in, because some of the dudes in prisons are.... assailants, rapists, and murderers. Eye for an eye, m i rite?
Only 30% of people in jails are in jails for nonviolent crimes. Theft is included in nonviolent crimes. As long as someone isn't maimed or mauled, then that's a nonviolent crime.
No idea what part of our butt you are pulling the 80% of people in prison are on drug-related charges...then you clarify that that 80% is there due to possession charges.

Also prisons are not what contribute to cyclical behavior per se, it's the treatment of ex-cons once they get out of prison.
Which is why I support work release programs and other programs which give ex-cons a chance to do honest work and become funcitoning members of society and support their familiies without having to turn to crime.

I drove through Atlanta during non traffic times and fell in love with the I-75, everyone drove so right.
How is Atlanta, regret living there?

I've never driven in Atlanta, but I've been in the airport there a dozen times. Given that experience, I find it hard to believe that there is any place or time at all in the entire city that doesn't suffer traffic overflow from the airport alone.

I... think about that a lot. But then, sometimes I'm struck by the terror of getting old and crippled and unable to exist without the support of my hypothetical progeny, and that is even worse. In my dreams, I will find a way to prevent this by going the way of robot Nixon in Futurama.

The Pennsylvania turnpike is vying for the title, too. Fucking infinite exit-less toll road, long stretches without any shoulder... and I swear to god it thunderstorms every time I enter the state.

Atlanta has traffic jams that last for hours that are caused by nothing.
You will be stuck there going 5 MPH for an hour, then you'll get to a point where....nothing. It just starts speeding back up to the speed limit.
Atlanta traffic jams are self replicating organisms.

man, i had my external hard drive stop working a month ago that held about 400 GB of porn. do you know how much that hurt me?!?! i felt so lost and alone.
ATL does have the worst traffic in the nation. Bar none. This is science.
The infrastructure is designed to handle 800k, and 2.4m use it a day. It's worse then DC, it's worse then LA, it's worse then anywhere else. Nobody can touch the pure chaos theory that driving in ATL during rush hour displays.
