• Inconsiderate (and Potentially Illegal) ‘Gallon Smashing’ Prank Goes Way Wrong

  May 11, 2013 at 6:39pm

  How is this “potentially illegal”? If you’re pretending to fall, then you’re not really falling, are you? Even if you do really fall, shouldn’t you be held accountable if you’re damaging property? Those milk containers are the property of the store and the floor has to be cleaned up by an employee, which takes time away from the employees other duties.

  There’s nothing “potentially illegal” about this. It’s flat out illegal and they should be punished. Make them or their parents pay for the product. If they’re videoing it, then you’ve got all the evidence you need. Seems pretty simple to me.

• Stunning Time-Lapse Shows Changes in Earth’s Surface Over 30 Years

  May 10, 2013 at 4:22pm

  In reply to jfriedri.

  That doesn’t matter much. 30 years is merely a blip in the entire life of the planet. They can’t get anything from prior to that anyway. They’ll use this for exactly what they say they’re using it for: to get the “global community” to come up with solutions. When they say “global community” what they mean is world governments (the UN).

  Anyone that speaks out against it will be labeled a freak or something similar and shown the video as “evidence” that we must “do something!”.

• Rumor Check: Did ‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Phil Robertson Really Say A&E Asked Family to Tone Down Prayer and Guns? (We Talked to Them)

  If you’ve never watched “The View”, then you missed this gem:

  Co-host not sure if earth is flat or round. She was applauded when she mentioned that she’s “busy trying to raise her kids”. If you’re raising children, you should know whether or not the Earth is flat or round.

  And this one (first time fire melts steel :-P):

  I actually don’t watch The View because it’s unbelievably stupid what these women talk about that they try to pass off as the truth. The difference between The View and Duck Dynasty is that The View claims to be a women’s commentary show where they talk about current events. Duck Dynasty is nothing of the sort. The View wouldn’t be so bad if things like the above weren’t said on a regular basis. You’re entitled to your own opinions, but you aren’t entitled to your own facts.

• Could a Diamond From Costco Actually Be Worth More Than One at Tiffany’s? The Answer May Surprise You

  May 8, 2013 at 12:31pm

  In reply to BlackCrow.

  Most pawn shops pay the spot price for gold. That most certainly was well over half of $1900, considering the spot price was over $1600. They can easily turn it around for a few hundred dollars more or simply cash it in at that price.

  Don’t base your buying decisions on what a pawn shop will pay. Pawn shops are notorious for extremely undervaluing items in order to turn them around quickly. It’s like basing your buying decisions on what you can get something for at a garage sell.

  That being said, Tiffany’s is notoriously overpriced, but so are most stores like that. Costco and the Jewelry Exchange are usually considered “discount” diamond stores that most people wouldn’t even consider. Then again, most people are stupid. Jewelry Exchange was the first place I thought of when looking for our engagement ring. We ended up buying one at a different discount store because my wife wanted a unique setting and couldn’t find anything like what we found anywhere else.

• Bill Maher: It’s ‘Ridiculous,’ ‘Quaint’ & ‘Nonsensical’ to Think 2nd Amendment Can Prevent Tyranny

  May 4, 2013 at 7:15pm

  In reply to LouisianaPatriot.

  Didn’t he just a week ago call Boston a police state because everyone was locked up in their houses while the police randomly searched houses while looking for the bomber? What is a police state if not a tyrannical govt?

• Check Out This Seriously Awesome Video of Rick Perry Firing a Semi-Auto Rifle Unveiled at the NRA Convention

  May 3, 2013 at 7:16pm

  In reply to hauschild.

  Another possible explanation (though I don’t discount Perry’s wanting power) is actually thinking through some of your stances and coming to different conclusions. Most young people (18-25 on average) don’t think through all their beliefs. It’s only when one starts to think through everything they believe that they sometimes come to different conclusions. It is rare, but it can have a profound impact on someone’s politics.

• Dashcam Vid Shows Hollywood Actress’ Odd Behavior During Arrest Debacle: Fakes Pregnancy, Asks ‘I’m Being Anti-American?’

  May 3, 2013 at 12:56pm

  In reply to Cat84.

  Exactly. I want to see a video of her apologizing to the officer involved. She doesn’t even need to go on national television. Grab a camera, find the officer, go to a public place (lots of foot traffic) and video the apology.

• Do Heaven, Hell and Ghosts Exist? Author Tackles What He Believes Happens After You Die

  May 1, 2013 at 12:47pm

  In reply to Dudley Do-Right.

  I just looked at biblegateway.com. NASB, KJV, and NKJV all translate Luke 24:36 as spirit. NIV translates it as ghost.

  Between that and what happened with Saul, I think the point is that we are not suppose to commune with the dead. The reason for that is because we cannot discern a demon from our dead loved ones. When Angels are sent to us, they will speak in the Lord’s name. Demons will not.

  And as someone else said, be very careful that what you attribute to demons is not the work of the Holy Spirit. I believe that’s why the author answered the way he did on near death experiences. He doesn’t know and to attribute it to demons is a grave, unforgiveable sin. Matthew 12:31-32.

• ‘Shut Up’: Bill O’Reilly Clashes With Alan Colmes Over Boston Bombing Suspects’ Family Getting $100,000 in Welfare

  In reply to Daddymac10.

  I wonder if it’s at least sometime an act. He’s so outrageously left that it’s almost comical. He defends the indefensible.

• Lesbian Activist’s Surprisingly Candid Speech: Gay Marriage Fight Is a ‘Lie’ to Destroy Marriage

  April 29, 2013 at 1:52pm

  In reply to searcher619.

  Tear down the welfare system and then get the govt out of it. Not before. They’re already complaining that they can’t get federal benefits. Get rid of those benefits. Then get the govt out of it. The argument goes away completely after that.
