The Worst Jobs in Science

unassimilatible writes "Popular Science is running a story on the most noxious jobs in science, including, fart-sniffer, barnyard masturbator, and prison-rape researcher, and my personal favorite, the pre-med student who ate, drank, and breathed the blood, urine and vomit of yellow-fever victims. So before you complain about your tech job, check out the list. Things could always be worse."

    I think the general public knows about prison rape but just does not care. Not too many people feel sorry for prisoners. I for one do not get upset to hear that some child molester is now taking it in the behind himself. I can't wait for the moral relativists (especially ACs) to reply to this post.

    Prison-rape is used as a deterrent in anti-drunk driving commercials in Ontario, Canada.

    While tolerating or encouraging prison-rape would be cruel punishment in an American jail, and unconstitutional (even though obtaining justice in this case might be practically difficult), it is accepted as matter-of-fact in Canadian jails.

    Americans slaughter foreigners. We slaughter our own and boast of being more civilized. Bullshit.

    Or more politely: Pot, Kettle, Black.
