So, I have no idea what you are talking about. You were only the second person to reply to this thread, which was begun by MarieFury, who stated he was a good-hearted, over-romanticized man. But even if you are talking about the rest of the threads...I mean, I read everything posted before I responded to you, and it…

I think, perhaps then, this is too personal for you and you are overreacting to things that are not being said - at least in this thread. I have only referred to McCandless as being “not an idiot,” “unfortunate” and having a “nuanced” story. That is hardly agressively hostile! And there weren’t many “claws” out until…

I see *zero* harm in attempting this! I will do my best to enforce the uncoolness!

Yes! And I seriously tried, too. Even now, I watch the Nightly Show on hulu (because I love to see Larry Wilmore giggle!) and it automatically starts playing The Daily Show next. So I would try and give it a chance...now I make sure to jump to the remote as soon as I hear the network logo...

Hooooraaaaaay!!!

If only people were as careful with guns as they are treadmills! It’s not like you would just leave a treadmill running (loaded?) if it wasn’t actively being used. You certainly wouldn’t just leave it on, unattended “somewhere” in the house with kids around, for example, like you might with a gun in your bedroom (?)!…

But I think many of us would be at least a little encouraged if we could just convince people that a gun in the home has its own inherent danger, regardless of the owner. Just *convince* people. Not even change the laws. Just get more people to take gun ownership more seriously. I mean, at least people know that…

Oh my, you sound so unecessarily agry....and you are taking this very personally, what with the pesonal attacks on those trying to calmly discuss a 20+ year old occurrence with you.

But that’s just not how books work. Krakauer may have tried to present information without bias (which is in actuality impossible, as bias is inherent, and I’m sure Krakauer would agree). But you can’t tell a reader not to have an opinion. Also, having thoughts about a person is technically judging them, but that’s…

And “women voters” makes me insane! No one ever talks about the “men voters.” Why? Because it sounds assinine!

Clueless. Arrogant. Self-aggrandising. Risk-creator. Lying liar who lies. She was saved by hitchhiking long distances, regular visits to town, the kindness of others (encouraged by eliciting pity and poverty), and luck. Her story is arguably more of a danger to others than McCandles since she a)survived and presents…

I have no words...I just... . . .

This poor woman! All she did was go to her own home with her actual boyfriend at the end of a night. Her crime is that she got locked out of her home! This is just horrifying!

Also, try dry shampoo spray. The force of the spray helps lift your roots a bit better than just powder (though even cornstarch works if you can deal with the hassle) . Right now I’m using Tresemme. Plus they’ve got another environmental protector finishing spray that helps preserve my violet, which otherwise fades…

I seriously read the headline four times before I did not see the word ‘again’

FGx is another way to reference it, with the x representing the myriad of terms.

It’s got a piece of fuzz on it. That’s all I can look at.

Wow! The language that these anti-body-rights folks use is really gleefully visual. I seriously doubt many of these people would speak in such a ‘shocking’ way about the butchered and ground up cow and chicken parts they had for dinner. But those same people are practically giddy to talk about hacked apart babies...

Ha! I read it as “Could you have sex with this failed presidential candidate?”

Now that’s just silly! Who wouldn’t want a Baaaaaaaby! <giggle>
