Question by oblivious: how did elliot smith die?

Best answer:

Answer by iijakii
Elliott Smith died on October 21, 2003 in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, California at age 34, from two stab wounds to the chest during an emotional fight with Jennifer Chiba. [16] According to her account, the two were arguing when she locked herself in the bathroom. Chiba heard him scream, and upon opening the door, saw Smith standing there with a steak knife in his chest. She pulled the knife out of him, after which Smith collapsed and she called 911. The time of death was listed at 12:18 PM. While originally reported as a suicide, the official autopsy report released in late December 2003 left the question of possible homicide open:
While his history of depression is compatible with suicide, and the location and direction of the stab wound is consistent with self-infliction, several aspects of the circumstances (as are known at this time) are atypical of suicide and raise the possibility of homicide. These include the absence of hesitation wounds, stabbing through clothing, and the presence of small incised wounds on the right arm and left hand (possible defensive wounds). Additionally, the girlfriend’s [Jennifer Chiba’s] reported removal of the knife and subsequent refusal to speak with detectives are all of concern.

Question by DelightfulTiny: What would be your solution for “Welfare Reform”?
I don’t support cutting all welfare. It has a very good purpose. But I do support “Welfare reform” so to speak. I personally know far to many people who abuse the system and I’ve experienced (being on welfare myself after a layoff) just how easy it is to become dependent on the system.

Welfare Reform:
Require drug and alcohol screening
Require PARENTS to be legal citizens, not just the children
Require mandatory job searching (as is required for recipients of unemployment)
Pur Welfare-to-work back in motion
