"You are a tough girl despite that, not because of it"

That is a fabulous point.

That's fucking awesome and brave. How old were you?

More Pat Dixon woooh-ing. I had to repeat it. He's so awesome. However, this episode makes me feel so bad for Ray.

it explains a lot about him, doesn't it? especially with how he just laughs off even the meanest insults.

If your interested, here is a link to a history podcast about parents and child abuse. "Abuse" has been the norm in most of written (European) history. Our current social beliefs and protections of children is a new development "historically".

I came across this article and couldn't help thinking of this episodes title. The mother even says "I'm doing the best I can" to the police. She didn't hate her child but was still truly terrible, and if you read to the end they interview her and she misses her daughter.

Now I don't know how much of a bearing this story has on the argument on the show, as the woman is clearly not ok in the head.

I warn you it's a pretty disturbing read.

Sometimes, yeah. Kids can be all kinds of asshole.

Keith, you forgot the best "Literally Unbelievable" story. A US Congressman fell for the Onion's Abortionplex story.
