Which is fine, but your initial your initial claim did not reflect skepticism. You presented an unsubstantiated rumor as fact.

So you’re saying you don’t believe the kid’s own emotional account of his experiences, but you do believe the anonymous claims of the unnamed person who found some pictures on FB?

I don’t necessarily disagree with any of your points. A college fund does nothing to address the current situation. His family doesn’t appear to be in a position to pay for college though, so I assume people just thought it would be a useful thing to give the kid to change his circumstances.

I haven’t seen any sources either. It looks to be a rumor invented on Twitter.

Do you understand how college funds work?

As mentioned in the article, the sister has stated the family did not set up any of the GoFundMe accounts. The mom filmed the original video at the boy’s request. According to interviews this morning, her intent was to bring awareness to the situation.

The idea was to set it up as a college fund.

Thinking about those blades makes my head hurt.

I think they censored most of the language. There was plenty of British sexual innuendo, but most American adults don’t understand that so I think your kid will be okay.

I think a very quick burst of pepper spray would have done the trick. Dogs are already sensitive to strong smells (which is why you can use diluted vinegar to teach them), and dogs are much more sensitive to capsaicin than humans are. You probably wouldn’t even need to spray it on the dog, just a quick burst towards…

Nuance is not appreciated in these parts...

The entire JSA is supposed to be “neutral ground”, and prior to the Axe Murder incident both sides were free to move around anywhere on site. Now there is a border line enforced. It’s still supposed to be entirely free of weapons. The North Korean soldiers firing at the South, from inside the JSA, was a pretty…

McConnell’s position as Senate Majority Leader means he has the authority to begin an ethics investigation into a member of the Senate. Trump would have to involve both houses, and Roy Moore is just a candidate right now. Although I have seen that McConnell can use this as precedent so that he can investigate Roy…

I would think almost all normal road obstacles are not fixed in time. That would seem to imply that time does not proceed from the perspective of said object.

For fraternities it’s usually the IFC (Inter-Fraternity Council).

I will need an individual IMAX film reel for each episode.

“Why would a country that depends on exports choke off export trade? This seems like fear mongering at best. What Navy is china going to use to choke off these sea routes anyway? Their navy is tiny. Mostly cast offs from the russians.”

Ask the British how they feel about that. When they decided to stop being the world police, the two bloodiest conflicts in human history quickly followed.

The South China Sea is an important shipping channel. We can’t allow China to jeopardize freedom of navigation through such an important trading area. Plus Chinese posturing will inevitably result in clashes between other local states. Even if we don’t try to get involved, it could get very nasty.
