You will support American society at large bringing itself down to the same level as the dirtbags it prosecutes.

QED on multiple levels. Thanks for playing.

Once you in twubble, you gotta do dubble.

Apparently wackos no longer go postal. Now they go fedex.

(I think you're responding to the article posted by the OP...)

interesting individual anecdote. now come back with a double-blind study of 2000 subjects, with an adequate control group, which has been peer-reviewed and replicated by other scientists, and then maybe you'll have something with objectively persuasive value. Absent that, it really has limited value.

Cause one doesn't get the job done? No, because nothing much rhymes with Irish, Catholic, Muslim or Hispanic.

Because politics, as the word's gerund suggests, is all about relationships. And organized collective action is usually more powerful than disorganized individual action, especially when the subgroup are comparatively weaker than the larger or stronger group, and/or are historically marginalized. But I'll bet you already knew that.

Once you go Jew, you gotta have two.

He needs the Marion Barry approach: "Bitch set me up!"

Well, obviously he's a pig, no matter how he's registered, and no matter how he tries to decontaminate himself with selective philanthropy. But in the interest of accuracy, he's a registered Republican. Look it up. Not remotely the entire story on this guy, but, you know, whatever. ETA: Krisanne's fingers are faster than mine. As the saying goes A pig with lipstick is ........ ... still wearing lipstick.

You know, Clint, not every topic can credibly be spun directly off into a canned rant of talking points about liberals, the nanny state, personal responsibility and "kids these days". It also seems that 9 out of 10 of the ranters I see on here who bitch the loudest about poor parenting have never actually had the experience of walking the parenting walk themselves. Personal experiences can be instructive comparators. If you want to give us specific details of how you engage in the upbringing of children for whom you're personally responsible, by all means please do so.

Partly skill, partly art, partly magic.

You just beat me to the post. My god, is that awful or what? But it's instructive to us in (at least) one way: it points out the value of a DZ spokesman promptly speaking to reporters and giving them at least "something" sooner rather than later. Here, you can see the DZ manager did speak to the reporter, but only to say they didn't know anything yet. Well, that was helpful: it left the reporter to get his info from the cop who didn't know what he was talking about, and a whuffo eyewitness whose "opinion" about parachute equipment was dutifully quoted (without rebuttal). Oh, and apparently both this fatality and a prior fatality at that DZ were because.. wait for it... the chutes failed to open. This is a poster-child example of what happens when the DZ doesn't take immediate and proactive control over the message after an accident. We can all bitch till the cows come home about reporters' and other laypersons' lack of diligence, but if the DZOs are careless enough to leave the barn door wide open, well, that horse is gonna bolt.

I presume that would only be in the context of whether you're required to volunteer the information if it isn't already asked. I haven't checked out every state, but I'd be pretty surprised if any state carves out an exception to the general law (which prohibits lying to authorities) and specifically allows you to say "no" to The Question if the clear truth is "yes".

Based on the prevailing mythology, that would seem redundant.

Yep, I doubt if I have the balls to tell a cop I'm not carrying when I am. Seems like a guaranteed trip to jail while the legalities are sorted out. Knowingly making a materially false statement to authorities is a criminal offense in every state I'm aware of. Probably all 50, I'd reasonably presume. It's a federal offense if you do to a Fed. So yeah.

Moses invests.

I had textbooks that taught me this in school. It was not that long ago. Are those the same ones that taught you about the War of Southern Treasonous Insurrection?

I just presumed the thread was about an Hispanic goalie.

Not like I'm the gold standard or anything, but I've long thought it odd that the UNCF, as well as the NAACP, chose not to update their names. Same with the US govt's Bureau of Indian Affairs. I'm sure they've contemplated it, especially the first two, and have decided to keep the names for the sake of historical continuity, to avoid public confusion, etc, etc. That said, I'm a pedant, so I'm given to ruminating about such things. I'm old enough to remember when, in the late 60's, the terms "colored" and "Negro" were considered arcane by anyone younger than middle-aged, and gave way to "black". As I recall, that shift was pretty universally in place for most anyone under age 50 by the early 70s. Bundy was born in 1946, so in, say, 1971 he was only 25. And even though changes in social convention are slower to find purchase in the rural boonies where he lived, you'd certainly expect virtually anyone to know that "Negro" was decades obsolete by 2014. Point being: it reflects how utterly out of touch he (and his ilk!) are with the conventions of modern society. So to hold him out as some kind of heroic figure, or even blessed with some kind of homespun social astuteness, is really quite laughable, and a little sad.
