Wow. Disney has a long reach.

Unfortunately, he would become a martyr for the mouthbreathers.

I never said he was unsuccessful. I said he came unglued psychologically. They did really well. I’m not sure he’s doing really well.

It seems like Mou suffered some kind of psychotic break while he was at Madrid, though. Success at Man U will be all about whether he takes his meds.

If you are shit, and you start shit-talking, aren’t you really just talking?

Jerry West’s pitch was the thing that made me think that Durant could actually sign with them. It was brilliant. He talked about the regret of going 1-for-9; he talked about how Durant’s efficiency could go up on a team like the Warriors; finally, he talked about how being on a team with other great scorers would…

It seems like it would be fun to play for a team like the Warriors.

The word “inexplicable” struck me as odd. It’s like you want to convey some kind of message about how strange it is that some people care about the projection of American power in the world. For some reason.

The lives of people abroad, as well as potential blowback from imperial adventures, are minor, minor things to most Americans. I get this. Thank you for letting me have my small concern.

Is it really so strange that some people might not see the wisdom in doubling down on the Middle East policy of the Bush II regime?

Hillary supporters are the reason I started being nicer to the Libertarians and Republicans I know, because while we have vast differences of opinion, they have never used personal attacks in their arguments against me. I guess I’m grateful to Hillary for that.

I didn’t think Durant to the Warriors had any chance of happening until I read about what Jerry West told him in his pitch. The Logo made it happen. I’m a little sad that The Logo isn’t still working for the Lakers, but I’m happy for Durant.

Good response. Thank you.

There is definitely “bad fruit” from the technological revolution tree, as you say, but there is nothing in this country’s history to suggest we have somehow gone off course. Empires rot.

Yes. A person with BPD is much more likely to threaten suicide than encourage someone else to do it. According to NIMH, 70% of people with BPD attempt suicide and 10% succeed. Here’s a link, if anyone’s interested.

In our culture, the isolation and despair are features, not bugs. Unfortunately.

Reading literature helps with the attention span and empathy. Of course, it’s tough to get kids to read with so many distractions.

Wal-Mart has the right idea here: people don’t buy as much after their heads have been slammed into the ground.

100K? It seems like somebody left off a zero.

I don’t think this woman’s family handles much of anything well. The medical center where they took her son after the shooting had to be put on lockdown because the family was causing a ruckus.
