One part post, one part test.

karnythia has a post up about domestic abuse, with regards to the recent Chris Brown/Rihanna news.  Please read the comments as well, they are fantastic.  Also check out hotcoffeems's comment on domestic abuse:

And every single damn time someone tries to come up with some Special Circumstance that makes the situation under discussion possibly different. Well, guess what? 999 times out of 1000, it is not different, in any way shape or form. It's like idiots who tell you not to wear a seat belt because someone they know would have been killed if they'd been wearing one. Well, gee, guess that means we should never wear one, right? Every time people seek to make some kind of exception, in the interest of "fairness," they give just a little bit of license to this mess, make it likely that yet another abuser is going to go to the woman's friends in the interest of drumming up sympathy for himself in dealing with this "unbalanced" woman, because he knows people will go for it.

Pass it on.
