Well, relationships are hard. My wife and I have been together for more than two thirds our lives. At one time or another, we've both been at the point where we were willing to go our separate ways but we always pull back at the last minute. I won't speak for her but for me, I can't imagine my life without her. …

Well, I wish you the best. Please take care of yourself first with regard to this.

They aren't responsible for the actions of their sister so many years ago. Mental illness can run in families, especially things like being bipolar and schizophrenia. As someone with a bit of expertise in this area, it's you you should be worried about. Secrets like this can be very unhealthy. Not trying to…

Wait, you kept this from your sisters? Do they know now, I mean now that your mother is no longer with us? I have brothers, not sisters. Me, I could never keep that from them. It would seem to me they would have a right to know.

Wow, that's a big one.

I'm Sicilian. There are things I will take to my grave. Let's leave it at that.

"Ivy League college professor"

Naturally, you've already proven you're too fucking stupid to understand written English. I said I've seen their tactics, racism and violent tendencies first hand. That's not the same as saying I've been a victim of their brutality. I happen to be a white guy with a good job and access to a lawyer so they tend not…

"I didn't cal the clerk a ragehead"

"That was brutality", "MMA ragehead"

I love it when concern trolls come to the defense of violent thieves who get beaten up while committing a robbery. Your moral superiority is obvious to everyone. We should do away with the justice system and let you decide the appropriate charges in all cases going forward. Because you are all seeing, all knowing,…

I'm sure prosecutors take into account the chances of getting a conviction. Based on what happened here, I'd put those chances at somewhere around zero.

Wait, someone connected to the NYPD is lecturing us on the proper use of force. Everyone pay attention.

Cops have guns. Cops have handcuffs. This man had none. He did what he thought he had to do to protect himself and the others on the scene until the cops arrived. You are in no position to judge.

When you have thug down, you make sure he stays down. The odds of this guy getting charged are about the same as a snow storm in Houston tomorrow.

Whatever you want to believe. Is every war about racism? Was our actions in Libya racist? What about the Iraq war? More racism? What about WWII? Where we racists for dropping two bombs on Japan that ended the war and saved thousands of US service men's lives?

Oh, please. If you believe Arabs in Gaza are super friendly to people from the US, please, by all means, go there. Spend some time walking around, flirt with the women, ask where the nearest Evangelical service is being held. Please let me know how you make out.

I'm not such a pessimist. Eventually the politicians will realize the idea of living in peace as neighbors is actually pretty popular with the people on both sides of the divide.

a two state solution is inevitable. The only question is how much blood gets spilled between now and then. Israel is the dominant power. They will react when provoked and naturally they will be more effective in the tit for tat battles that have raged on and off for the last few decades. Israel should stop…

While it's undeniably true that we're a nation of self-absorbed assholes, that's not why we side with Israel. We side with Israel because it's better than the alternative. The alternative would be a victory for our enemies and let's not sugarcoat it, the Arabs who live in Gaza are our enemies. What would the place…
