That's one of the few explicable things that Chigurh does. He's limping, his arm's broken and he's trying to evade capture by the police, so practically speaking trying to kill a couple of kids rather than just bribing them into silence would be counterproductive.

Next on Assholes on Youtube: the hidden meaning of President Whitmore's speech in Independence Day.
Pretty sure it's sarcasm.
How's his handwriting measure up?
Inaction is a privilege of the comfortable. Cynicism is a comfort to the powerless. When you run into a (usually) white, (usually) male, upper-middle class (or higher) South Park fan, they typically enjoy the posture that South Park embodies. Trying is stupid, everything is basically fine, and everyone who cares…
"Some" is stretching it. I count three state legislators, all in New Hampshire, which is the 41st most populous state but has the largest house of representatives in the country. The LP has increasingly become an organ of the Republican Party in the last twenty years, to the point where they've run completely…
I actually tend to agree with people normatively that the left attempts to excessively police speech. I think it's intellectually unhealthy, politically counterproductive and morally suspect in many, many cases.
To put this in perspective, the FY '17 budget includes $10.5 billion for the requisitioning of 63 F-35 fighters. That's $166.7 million per jet. Let's say that every single one of those trans servicemembers gets reassignment surgery. High estimates for cost of reassignment run about $100,000, including follow-up…
Shocking: the South Park fan is anti-civil rights laws, but sure that it wouldn't actually result in black people being denied access to businesses because "they would lose out on a market of customer" and it would be not be "sane."
And yet people like you continue not to think at all. As evidenced by this post.
The nuance of their dicks/pussies/assholes foreign policy is that pussies have a role in lending moral legitimacy to a system that should still be run by dicks because we need to fuck assholes? Oh, sorry for not giving them credit for that "nuance." They've "walked back" climate denialism? Sources, please. They've…
Those words that I put into quotes actually came out of their mouths. Saying they were anti-anti-smoking (essentially pro-smoking, but with a veneer of deniability) is based on them doing an entire episode painting anti-smoking activists as out-of-touch assholes who think that people should relax by visiting one of…
Pretty sure you're willfully blind to the acknowledged and articulated political bent of the show.
What are you even talking about
When Jon Stewart went on Crossfire, that was the most hostile possible version of someone pointing out the flaws of something one genuinely admires and thinks is important. Specifically, Stewart was begging with CNN to realize the absurdity and stupidity of their horse race, infotainment, sell-the-controversy…
You can remove "rich and white" and the message is the same. But the fact that they are rich and white is not coincidental to the fact that they think the status quo is basically fine and dandy.
Failure to conform to an ideology is rarely the problem for people who don't believe anything. Rather, the issue is that they believe in a glib, internally consistent ideology that has no relation to the world. Libertarianism is the most popular of these ideologies right now, but communism/Marxism do as well, among…
Yeah, that's the rhetorical appeal of this kind of nihilism. "Those idiots said they believe X, but now they're not being consistent with X or X turned out to be wrong! What assholes. I don't believe anything. When things go right I'll take it for granted and when they go wrong I'll laugh at the people who cared…
