If you don’t want to be lumped in with nut cases, then responsible gun owners should be the ones yelling the loudest for stricter controls. If you are responsible, why are you afraid of limits on who can carry, where they can carry and what kind of guns should be on our streets? That’s it. But the so-called…

This. It is always amazing to me in these mass shootings the contrast between the lives of the victims and the shooters. The victims always have bright futures, people who love them, hobbies, interests, talents, etc. The shooters are always lonely, angry, small-minded, frustrated people.

There is a non-profit that was doing this with 3-D printers and volunteers. The kids got the hands for free.

Did you see that they had nothing to add. Nothing to say and kept just holding the microphone. Crazy. There was absolutely no point to this. Just crazy people being crazy.

The media likes conflict, the media likes a spectacle. It’s as simple as that. I just said you can argue it either way. Nobody expected BLM to have a role in the presidential race at all before this.

I think he would prefer zero attention to this attention. He is trying to focus his campaign on policy, and he gets notice as part of this freakshow? And you think this is a good thing for him? SMDH This is why we can’t have nice things.

Yep. She is not helping BLM. Anybody who thinks she is is delusional.

That’s what I came here to say. Sanders was consistently drawing larger crowds than some BLM rallies (he certainly did in my city), so it could be argued, he blew them up.

Plus London is just Boston with a different funny accent. Don’t see the real value.

Agree. Plus I think the Euros would trade half-a-dozen of their second-string cities like Barcelona, Nice and Edinburgh for a place like Missoula, Montana. They don’t have that kind of wide-open space there. They would totally overvalue. I bet if you threw in Pierre, South Dakota and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, you might…

Exactly. I never realized the sections were labeled in toy stores. I mean, where do Legos go? What about Hot Wheels? My Little Pony?

Good God, it’s too early in the morning where I am to read this. Why did I read this?

The corollary to that is New Year’s Fucking Eve. I am so over New Year’s Eve. I am over knowing it won’t be fun even as I’m making plans with people.

Indeed. We are strong. We will keep marching on.

I visited Florida once for a week. It’s so beautiful there that your brain just falls right out of your skull. I’ve lived in Texas. And yeah, it’s the heat.

I know the feeling. We had Parkay margarine all the time when I was growing up. When I finally tasted real butter around 7 or 8, I felt my mom hated me all those years.

Well, you see risotto spelled on menus. When’s the last time you’ve seen Spaghetti-O’s on a menu???

Team Jen would win because they’re all Type As. But I’d rather hang with Team Ben.

Americans are infants, especially when it comes to race. We can’t seem to hold two competing ideas in our heads at once. And not only are we infants, we are proud to be so and do everything to remain so. I would laugh at it if it were not so sad and destructive.

Yeah, sadly this is what happened to a friend of mine. The mom was making it impossible for him to see his kids, always had some excuse not to bring them to visitation, told them he was an asshole, etc. Finally, he just ran out of money to give to lawyers. And he just had to walk away. He said he would try to make…
