So if you don’t read to your kids or endow them with education, they’re the same as pets? Lots of false equivalencies going on in this entire article and conversation.

I think losing pets can be very much the same as losing a family member, no way is that nuts. It’s just how it is for some people.

I guarantee I would hardly blink if my brother died but I’d be in mourning for years if my dog did.

Right? No one can tell another person how the other person feels about something. I think I spend more time and energy on my dog than others do with their kids, but even the most neglectful parent would claim that’s not true. And I am just as devastated when I lose a pet. The only difference is that losing pets is…

Now that is untrue. An officer doesn’t need a cause to run a plate. If you’re a cop you can just sit there and do it for fun, it’s in plain view.

There is no way to “catch” a cop for doing such a thing. They just look up whatever, no one tracks it at all.

Trapping is an issue because it’s pretty horrible in general. Much more horrible than being a farm animal.

It’s a phrase certainly out of place in the context of this story. Nothing about this is “casual violence.” The writer is confused about what the phrase means.

pffft please. He knew perfectly well that the shooter was not about to go after media, he was doing the shooting for ATTENTION for pete’s sake.

Just looks like a picture of a dude with a gun to me. Anyone with a camera could have taken the same picture.

I think you are way overthinking that snap.

Uh, no. It’s not “heritage.” It’s necessary when you live in the Arctic, and even the vast majority of Canadians don’t qualify.

There is definitely a lot of trapping going on. I don’t mind fur farming that much, but only for climates for which it’s necessary, not effing LA or anywhere in California or the lower 48 for that matter.

White women are certainly complicit as more than half of them voted for that bloated irradiated cockroach turd.

Ha. Maybe. But I can’t survive without taiga time. It’s so beautiful and far away from other people, much of it, anyway.

Oh, come on, that’s not even possible. She kept plucking them!

Yep, the nurse contingent is one I wouldn’t want to have looking through my info. I’m pretty sure HIPAA got as crazy as it did because nurses are such catty people/

It annoys me that they put more energy into protecting celebrities than they would you or me.

When I was in law enforcement, I knew all kinds of senior cops who would run people’s info for personal background checks, i.e. landlord checks, etc. They ALL do it.

How is that illegal? It’s your own information.
