  1. Why would you compare a school shooting to an armed robbery? If your lame argument were valid the US would have a far lower violent crime rate than all of western Europe, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc. It doesn't.
  2. The was the 83rd school shooting across the United States this year – surpassing 2023 for the most school shootings in a single year since tracking such incidents began in 2008.
  3. On Monday afternoon, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and local officials in Madison and surrounding Dane County urged the public to pray for and comfort the Abundant Life Christian School community. Thoughts and prayers have done nothing to stop things like this happening. Better gun laws would do a lot more good. According to The Washington Post’s tracker, there have been more than 400 school shootings since the Columbine High massacre in 1999 — and more than 383,000 students have experienced their violence.
  4. C'mon guys, my Snoopy Santa drone must be worth at least one Like.
  5. A view that does not seem to be supported by any case law. Just because some MAGA asshat says something is true, does not make it true.
  6. Says who? The territorial principle goes back centuries and is part of international law/
  7. I wonder how an Irish** citizen accused of capital murder in, say, Texas would fare if he told theTexas judge that his court had no jurisdiction and therefore had to release him to be tried in Ireland.. ** or any other non US nationality By JB's reasoning, all these executions were illegal https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-row/foreign-nationals/executions-of-foreign-nationals
  8. "Donald Trump had a landslide election" Really, 49.9% of the popular vote is a "landslide"? That guy is as unhinged as Jaybird. Incidentally, the 14th Amendment means exactly what a majority of justices on the SCOTUS says it means. It doesn't mean what Mr. Levin claims it means.
  9. Cut and paste is not the same as reading and understanding.
  10. I wonder why the perps with nefarious intent are flying drones at night with their position lights on. I am reminded that NJ went into hysterics over Orson Welles' broadcast of War of the Worlds in 1938. And that I have been part of a UFO sighting as recently as 2010.
  11. John Wayne pretending to be a hero in WW2 movies comes to mind.

    Syria

    This thread sure drifted quickly.
  13. Sure, they don't matter, not a problem so long as you're OK.
  14. But you'd never know this if you watched the ads for Medicare Advantage plans.

    TK, I suspect you weren't directing that at Bill.

    Syria

    Just when your attention was elsewhere. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/syria-rebels-celebrate-captured-homs-set-sights-damascus-2024-12-07/ Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime fell on Sunday morning as state television proclaimed the end of his rule and the country’s prime minister promised to cooperate with rebels.
  17. So every woman over the age of 50 or thereabouts becomes a man? Interesting, I'll tell my wife.
  18. Pete Seeger wrote Ecclesiates for the Byrds? He was older than he looked.
  19. They just plagiarized it. I am a devout atheist but always liked Ecclesiastes.
  20. I suppose I shoulld have provided the citation for those who weren't forced to study the bible twice a week for 12 years? I thought everyone knew Ecclesiastes 3, 1-2 I always liked Ecclesiastes 12, 1-8 too.
  21. Well, DEI isn't dead after all. Trump has an affirmative action program for the nation’s least privileged: “Under this peculiar new DEI program, previously downtrodden billionaires have been tapped to run the Treasury, Commerce, Interior and Education departments,”
  22. Same here. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die."
  23. Explain? When you know everything there is to know, explanations are redundant.
  24. Lots of radiation on the journey there, though.
