No actually it also means a unit of weight, as in lb. lb=pound

So, if someone tells you #sand - it could mean a couple different things

You can find 50 crazy anything on the internet.

And all of them anonymous.

You already know this can in no way be representative of the population as a whole.

I certainly know that, but it seems like common response from those commenting. Its just getting out of control imo.

It was common in the comments because it brought out the crazies.

Believe me, if someone posted an article on Nazis, indigo children, or placenta eating, 50 Nazis, indigo children or placenta eaters would show up.

But how many of these do you know in actual firsthand experience? Or even casually...say, through friends of coworkers?

A lot?

Any?

It's the internet, dude. Take a deep breath and step back and think for a minute. Have you EVER, even once in your entire life said to a woman, in person...right there..."Your new haircut looks nice," and have her shriek in terror, "Don't rape me!"?

Nice try, but it sounds more like you were voice texting and now are trying to backpedal.

I don't think you're equipped to work here. We'll mail your last check to you.

Also, don't read the comments sections of news sites. It's literally the dregs of humanity, and it's rubbing off on you.

Well then forget about our comments, and forget about the article comments.

What have you experienced?

At least, let's say...20% of the time, okay, heck, 10% of the time...or even 5% of the time (since this is a "growing problem," apparently...I'm being VERY conservative given that), when you have told a woman "Your hair looks nice," has she burst into tears and told you not to rape her? And/or marched off furiously to HR demanding your immediate termination? Or did she call the cops or something? Ask her brothers to beat you up? Any sort of nutty reaction at all along these lines?

Or, has that happened to anyone you know personally? Even loosely. An acquaintance? Anybody you actually know (not stupid comments on the internet)? The person literally said a woman's hair looks nice and the woman said the person was committing rape?

Even one single time? Out of probably hundreds of people you've known over your lifetime?

Yeah. Me neither.

Better yet should have returned after the first incident wearing latex gloves.

Talk about a double standard. I wonder what would happen if I walked around my office with an erection, rubbing my junlk on all the females here? Ive had that happen to me more than once, since ladies cant keep their hands off of me (cant blame them). On more than one occasion, Ive had girls come up to me and grab me by my crotch to feel my size or jump on me straight up. Next time, Im calling 911 for sexual assault
