Are you seeing something I’m not seeing on that picture? Admittedly, it’s a blurry picture.

Even if Mother Teresa said it, who cares? This is the same woman who refused to give pain medication to ease the suffering of the poor people she took care of because she believed suffering was godly. She was an awful person. List of rights that I believe in that Mother Teresa did not: (1) right to abortion, (2) right…

Yeah, that’s what I assumed when I said that it must be an infrastructure thing. I mean, it’s one thing for a state with a lot of snowplows and not a lot of cars to handle a couple feet of snow, but something different in a large city. I don’t believe I called you guys wimps, though.

Honest question from someone who grew up on the northern plains, two feet of snow is unusual? And it will actually shut down the city? Is that just because you don’t usually get that much snow so don’t have the infrastructure to deal with it? We get blizzards with those winds and more snow all the time in northern…

Yeah, the whole binge drinking culture of college is pretty awful.

Also, I love your name.

Her son was a shit before he joined the military. Several of my friends went to school with him in Wasilla. Apparently when he was in high school, him and some buddies slashed a bunch of bus tires and caused hundreds of thousands in damage to the school district. Rumor has it that the judge gave him a choice between…

I have this picture of you as one of those people who put ridiculous quotes on their facebook wall. You crack me up.

Oh, ok. You’re not worried about offending anyone, but you think it is callous to acknowledge that someone who died because she did something stupid was an idiot. So, in your world callous = realistic. Cool. And, btw, you should look up the definition of “doubling down.” I have not become more resolute in my position.…

And I’m not the one who needs luck in my future. If you are the sort of person who can’t even acknowledge when someone acts in an idiotic manner because you think you’ll offend someone, then you’re the one who needs luck. That’s not how the real world works. Dumb things get you killed and people are offended all the…

I have gone to parties in negative temperatures. I have had friends, who were stupid, leave the parties in anger after getting into some dumb fight. I have gone after my friends when they left and told them how stupid they were because they were going to get themselves killed (and either brought them back to the party…

No. The homeless people around here are smart enough to get into a shelter at night in the winter. And I have no problem passing judgment on a girl who objectively was stupid enough to get herself killed. Stop being so pc. She died because she was too drunk and too stupid to wear proper clothes in extremely cold…

I think you’re right on point regarding it being a wealth issue, even the way we as a country treat different people that age. Who is more likely to get married at 16 or join the military straight out of high school? People from families with lower incomes. And society seems to accept that it’s ok to treat those kids…

But don’t you think that’s a weird contradiction we have? That we think people are old enough to get married at 16, die for the country at 17 (with adult consent), but aren’t responsible enough to drink until 21? And we do have a horrible problem with treating college students like children, while expecting people in…

Exactly. I’m not saying that anybody intentionally wished her harm or anything. I’m just saying there were a lot of stupid actors here.

Yes. That’s why it is so important that you don’t let drunk people wander off into the cold by themselves. Hopefully there is more to the story than her friends just kind of going “meh” when she left.

Yeah, that’s a good point.

Good points. There are definitely some facts missing here.

And, yet, you were responsible enough to get them inside. People are giving all sorts of shit for saying her friends were stupid and she was stupid. Apparently, I’m supposed to treat drunk college students like kids without brains and give them a pass on this one. I had friends storm out of parties while drunk without…

Yeah, we need to stop infantilizing adults in this country. Why is it that you don’t think a 21 year old should be able to take care of herself? I’m not disagreeing with you that 21 year olds really do seem to be stupid, at least in this country. I just don’t understand why we accept that and why it is the case. Is it…
