Few miscarriages of justice are worse than the one where someone is arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to years behind bars for a horrible crime they did not do.

On paper, Zero Tolerance in schools sounds good. Classroom violence and brutality has gone too far, and by gum we won’t let it stand even one more time! However, in practice it fails far too often, as perfectly innocent accidents and misunderstandings get treated like major crimes, ruining lives for little reason other than “we gotta look tough, dang it.”
It seems to be true that many people around the world tend to believe that…
Absolute power corrupts absolutely, says just about everybody who can’t think of their own damn line. But cliched as it may be, it’s usually true, especially in these ten cases. When nobody has the ability to overrule a psychopath with power, everybody loses. Except the psychopaths, who tend to do OK in such cases.
If you didn’t commit the crime you were convicted of, a pardon would truly be a gift from Heaven. Unless, of course, you’re already in Heaven when it happens. Post-mortem pardons are almost always a cases, made even worse once you realize even a freakin’ turkey can get pardoned in a timely manner.
It’s Halloween Week at TopTenz! To celebrate, here are ten people who unwillingly (and horrifyingly) turned into cannibals. In some cases, they were forced. Other cases, it just kind of happened. In all cases, the victim was scarred for life, even if that life only lasted a few hours longer.
When you think of Russia, several things come to mind. Cold. Vodka. Fuzzy hats. Vodka. Smoking hot double agents. Extra-strong vodka. But there’s so much more to the world’ largest country than perhaps you realize. Luckily, we’re here to educate.

While the overwhelming majority of the world is still religious, the number of people who reject it in favor of atheism and rational thinking grows every year. Many well-known thinkers, scientists, writers, and even comedians are spearheading this new age of skepticism, which will almost certainly keep growing for years to come.
One of the easiest ways to make your product recognizable and successful is to slap a celebrity’s face on it, because famous people are never wrong about anything. Sometimes, celebrities become unwilling endorsers, with their likeness slathered all over stuff they want nothing to do with. It’s like identity theft, only without all the maxed-out credit cards.

Celebrities are human just like us, and sometimes they too choose the wrong person to shack up with. The difference here is, while we can just quietly pretend our failed and oddball trysts never happened, famous people have to be publicly reminded of their mistakes over and over again. Such as right now. We’re part of the problem.
