For starters, calling in the bomb squad for something that you know is not a bomb is against the law.

Second of all, if they REALLY thought it was a bomb, why didn’t they evacuate the school, bomb squad or not?

So if somebody in your office brings in a bomb, instead of calling in the bomb squad, you just sit there are scream at them? Interesting.

Apparently not. He just moved to Qatar. He has 2 sisters that are still in Irving, Texas and are attending the schools there.

Reality check: Your mother didn’t write that letter and you have ZERO reason to believe that this woman is like your family.

She hasn’t seen her kid since September, meaning that the kid didn’t even show up for Thanksgiving. While that’s understandable if the kid had midterm exams, it’s not fine if she didn’t even…

There is nothing financially abusive in her letter. She never claimed that she was considering withholding her gifts or her tuition money. That is just bullshit you decided to make up on your own to support your bizarre world view.

Making gun manufacturers legally responsible for gun deaths is irrational. Gun manufacturers should be sued for deaths, but for making military-grade weapons available to civilians. You can’t buy anything else military-grade except for guns.

If anybody should be sued, it’s gun stores and the network of “background…

Yeah. For starters, old timey human intelligence would be a welcome change. All those “special forces” operatives seem to be doing nothing much other than selling weapons to anybody that calls themselves a “moderate rebel”.

It would be nice if they were to return to their role as unbiased intelligence gatherers…

Dude, nobody can force you (or anyone else) to take money from anybody. If you’re feeling “pushed around”, that’s by your own choice. And there’s a really simple solution to that problem: use your own money instead.

Sure it’s not projection. That’s why you keep browbeating your opinion into people who disagree with you.

By that standard, EVERYONE who writes into a “very popular advice column” is a total nutball.

Considering that this “advice” column runs in Slate - an inflammatory piece of shit “publication” with zero regard for fact-based journalism or merit-based employment - I wouldn’t put it past the editors to “edit” letters to…

And how, pray tell do YOU know what this person’s situation is that you so confidently state she’s trying to “manipulate” her kid? That’s a pretty serious accusation, ahole.

A really shitty parent wouldn’t bother to send care packages or money They would essentially force their kid hold down multiple jobs to pay for essentials like textbooks - stuff all the other poor kids in college have to do.

A simple thank you email once in a while is not too much to ask for. As a matter of fact, it’s…

Except if he really DID give a fuck, he’d have used his second term to write executive orders for all the stuff he claims should have been implemented.

There would be no need to change the process or make any currently legal guns illegal

I see. And how do you justify being able to own military-style weapons? If you have a right to own any kind of gun you want, then why shouldn’t you be able to own uranium or purchase stealth drones. You don’t need them to hunt, you…

The problem with Pistorious is that he shot her through a door several(?) times.

In other words, he didn’t even open the door to see who/what he was shooting at. And as far as I know, he did not have any reason to believe that his gf was out of town and had no reason to be at his house. Add this to the fact that he…

The problem the “fear” argument is that he went after him. Once you get away from getting your head bashed in, the LAST thing you do if you’re really afraid is run AFTER (as opposed to away from) the person who bashed in your head.

Then I guess you wouldn’t have a problem when an officer uses excessive force and ends your life, then?

He went over to Saudi Arabia and came back with a wife. Mail order bride deals done on the fly are bound to turn sour. And besides, it’s not like the religious fundies in Saudi Arabia are known for their sanity.

Oh, yeah? I bet you all those people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets were hunting for their cheese in there. And have you seen Nicholas Cage’s movies? Most of them would make you want to jump in a pool and drown.

A broken piece of a clay pot or terracota also works well.
