"If, however, you view the singular goal of the Republican party as the expropriation of taxpayer wealth for the enrichment of the entrenched industrial elite, and all of the cultural conservatism and libertarian rhetoric as tactics to achieve this goal, then this has been the most successful Republican administration ever."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OMG, that's the best conspiracy line yet. Yes, you caught us. It's been a rollercoaster ride over 4 decades, a carefully orchestrated whole-cloth infiltration of all levels of Federal and State government, a project that has seen the cooperation of intervening Democratic administrations, no less, and until now, no one ever noticed.. Congrats, you alone had the intelligence, breadth of vision, and foresight to figure it out.
And since you freaks scream "1984!!! BIG BROTHER!!!" every time the government scratches its ass, much less when they actually do anything, you're right, we're not going to have the capability to stop one single person in an undisclosed location from doing something that requires no overt or hostile action aside from the explosion itself.
You people don't even know what you want. First you scream freedom, then you scream security. Can't have both at top capacity. At a certain point they become mutually exclusive.
Cos you guys know that if this had been a Republican suggesting this, the tin foil would have been crinkling faster than you can say "Look, an OMCL autographed by GWB!"
Btw, I hear you can get those on ebay. It truly *does* have everything!
The only ones responsible for a child's suicide are his or her parents, for not teaching them how to deal with adversity. Yeah, suicide is terrible, but once a person has made that decision they have already given up. They are losers at that point. And that is FAR from necessary.
"That has no basis in any facts"
The fact is that parents dont give a shit about their children any more - they would prefer to let the lawyers clean up... after the fact.
"But go ahead and bite a bullet. Concede defeat the roundabout way."
Sarcasm noted. WTF. This is exactly my point, moron. And you *are* an armchair psychologist. Wake up and get a clue that you aren't doing anyone a bit of good by letting your heart bleed all over the goddamn place. You want to make a difference? Huh? You really want to make a fucking difference!? Educate the parents. Go right to the source, don't fuck off and waste time treating the symptoms.
BTW, thanks for adding me to your "enemy list", I'm sure that'll do a fuckload of good. Should counteract all those pathetic parents and their desperate children and do a whole WORLD of good. Don't you feel better already?
Sigh. Another armchair psychologist with all the answers. Except the right ones.
Hey. Where are the parents in your dreary little self-righteous speech there? That's right, non-existent. And that's the problem. "TWELVE FUCKING YEAR OLD" kids are being left to twist in the wind by their dope-smoking SUV-driving power-lunching parents.
Heh, you're whimpering at the wrong person about suicide. You want to know what I think about suicide? Can your fluttery stomach handle it? Here it is: Yeah, any kid that commits suicide deserved it. Because that's the coward's way out. That's the idiot's way out. What the fuck, you throw away your LIFE because someone laughs at you, and you don't call that fucking stupid?
Oh well. Mod me down, -5 Insensitive Git. Maybe if you screw your eyes up and hope real hard, you can pretend that it hurts me. But I learned how to slough that crap off a *long* time ago.
THEN THEY SHOULD BE TAUGHT HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. WTF part of that does everyone not understand?
Ignoring the verbal bully makes the bully go away. It's not an instantaneous process, so those of you with McPatience may find it difficult to stick with the program.
But I can see I've wandered into the land of whiny pussy Net-coddled crybabies, so I suppose I should expect this kind of response.
Actually, I was overweight by quite a bit, and I was called all sorts of things until the gits realised it wasn't making any kind of impact, at which point they moved on to the next poor fat slob. I was also the Trekkie geek loser target. I also played AD&D. And read books.
You let them think whatever they want to think, cos they're gonna do that anyway. A month later it'll all be forgotten, kids have the attention spans of gnats.
I thought the short-range broadcast stuff was anon. Mebbe I'm thinking of a different protocol or something...
And yeah, it does hold true. The kids in this article aint got nothin on what I went through, and what a lot of people here probably went through, both physically and mentally.
It's a hell of a lot easier to ignore a spoken word than a moving fist.
They only last if you let them. Learn to ignore it. And yes, it *can* be ignored, and it *can* be dealt with at that age. I managed it, and those freaks were merciless to me. But after a while they get tired of it, and move on.
Just takes willpower, which kids today are not being trained to use or improve.

Pffft, hahahaha.
Jokes prepare YOU!
That's not an 'idea', that's a homicidal asshole.

The same point as any other type of wanton destruction is committed - for the sake of it.
That was Dragonlance (which was not originally part of AD&D), but yeah, it could have been an attempt at defining neutrality. Interesting.
Or they could call it Fez

Next contestant, Siener, special subject, the bleedin' obvious!
(note for brain-damaged mods, that's a Pythonism too)
Ooo, insults, that's good, press your argument the only way you know how.
Just for that, you can figure out the answer on your own. You obviously don't need *me* to help with that.
Ok, one last waste of time on you:

Ah. That would explain that odd person talking about CCR, then.
You didn't provide an argument to attack. You just made some bullshit up that had nothing to do with the post you replied to.
*You* are the loser, my small-minded padawan.
Ok, for the weak-minded twit, I'll answer this much of your post: B&E has got nothing to do with this, it's a bad analogy. So stuff it.
The rest of it you'll just have to twist in the wind over. Sucks, doesn't it?
Sigh. Another armchair psychologist with all the answers. Except the right ones.

Hi there. Non sequitur, anyone? Check with the AC.
I never said they went away or shouldn't count, asshat. Learn to read.
Any kid that commits suicide from being verbally abused was indeed a victim - a victim of abysmal parenting, not verbal abuse.
Peggy Sue? Buddy.
THEN THEY SHOULD BE TAUGHT HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. WTF part of that does everyone not understand?

Geezus.
What the fuck is that? If you let *other people* decide whether you're worth a shit or not, you're pretty much getting what you deserve.
No, I don't think psychological bullying is a big deal. But then, I got so much of it I learned to ignore it at an early age.
Suicide was certainly not an option. If someone didn't like me, tough shit.
Kids need to learn not to roll over and pucker south at the first sign of trauma. They're better than what their peers think of them. Guaranteed.

They're not getting the shit kicked out of them anymore.
Being bullied is getting pushed down a flight of stairs, not getting an anonymous text message about how dopey your shoes look. Sheesh.
Buddy Holly would have been proud
Time to start planning Hubbleson, instead of burning money keeping the old one patched up .. in the end we'll have a much better telescope.
