So gifts now should be return friendly?

It’s... really not that hard to return one? There’s a return period for a reason, and it’s not like the customer service desk at Best Buy has a TV there to see what you’ve installed on the thing. They don’t give too much of a shit.

How about them moving to a country that was condemned by the un and amnesty international for being a shit hole for women’s rights. But then, fuck his sisters, amirite dude?

I have to admit I soured on the family after they met with Omar al-Bashir and then moved to Qatar.

He’s not intelligent for what he did. There are plenty of intelligent kids out there and they deserve congratulations for their efforts. What Ahmed “created” was not intelligent. Though if pulling off a media scam that would allow one to meet the president and to gain the sympathies of Facebook and twitter and…

It doesn’t smell like a scam, it was a scam. Anyone that looks past the initial PC outrage can see what was happening, and it’s not the first time their family has tried this.

IDK, I believe you reap what you sow. He seemed like a spoiled little nerd who brought in some dippy project and was unduly traumatized by a bunch of rednecks. ETA I could also be completely wrong and he could go on to lead a perfectly ordinary life. Which is what I hope.

Please, let all of us “ignorant” folk know what is so good about that “clock”?

By the police? Maybe. By the teachers? No way. If someone brings a device that could pass for a bomb to class they have a responsibility to investigate it. There’s a lot of anti Muslim bigotry in America right now. But there’s also liberal witch-hunts for Islamophobes. This is the latter.

I agree. I don’t get how people are falling all over themselves on this kid being a genius when he invented squat.

Intelligent how? For dismantling a store bought clock and putting it in a pencil case?

An intelligent human? He didn’t do anything for his project but take an already existing clock from Walmart, took the parts out of the casing and stuck it in a briefcase with some glue. That’s it. No, really. THAT. WAS. IT. He didn’t invent jack. He didn’t even take an already produced product and add anything that…

The sad thing is I can see him in ten years with a crappy beard and taqiyah and his finger in the air, spouting anti American rhetoric and we have no one to blame but ourselves, really.

I can’t pretend to understand the mindset that responds to a potential civil rights violation by moving to a country notorious for using slave labor.

Yes, after also meeting and hanging out with one of the worlds biggest murderers, sudanese president omar bashir, he then got a scholarship from qatar. Why dont you google “qatar isis” and check the links yourself. As for intelligent, he put the insides of an alarm clock into a briefcase - why is he intelligent?

Just got to say, though, that making this a big ado over civil rights - which it is - in America, and then moving to a place like Qatar (after being photographed with war criminal Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir) probably isn’t the best look. I’d have at least have passed on the latter. I get that his parents are…

I really don’t think it matters, but thank you.

Yeah, but some people want nicer graphics and trophies. I’m sure the inclusion of trophies alone will push most people towards dropping the cash on these.

call me crazy, but she’s not exactly a kingpin with the amounts she had. maybe throwing a crazy party, but i wouldn’t exactly call her pablo.

“Kingpin?” Really? Those are like college dorm dealer amounts. Or the personal stash of Robert Downey, Jr. in the 90’s.
