• 10 Anti-Abortion Actors, Singers and Celebrities Who Are Openly Pro-Life

  March 26, 2013 at 2:38pm

  In reply to RationalMan.

  Remarkably, half the DNA of a baby is from a guy. Fancy that.

  If you think guys don’t have a right to voice an opinion on abortion because they don’t get pregnant, then I guess they don’t have a responsibility to take care of a child they never wanted to begin with, right?

  Rights and responsibilities go hand-in-hand. When you divorce them from one another, things start falling apart. I WANT guys to speak out about how they feel about abortion because giving them no right ensures they feel they have no subsequent responsibility.

  O-kay. So he can talk about his pants bulging, but she can’t wear revealing clothes. And I’m not sure how revealing those clothes really were – no one here has specified.

  On the other hand, she didn’t find his behavior particularly offensive? And it sounds like she was flirting back, with the “father figure” boss. Who talked about the bulge in his pants.

  This whole thing smells fishy and very, very sleazy.

  Turbocat: that’s why I’m eatin’ popcorn and waiting for the fight to begin. If it goes beyond two boys saying, “Well, I’ll larn you!” and drawing lines in the dirt with their toes, this could be good.

• School Adviser: CT Killer a Loner Who Was ‘Nervous Around People’ and Felt No Pain — Emotionally or Physically

  response to children like this. In fact, they need firmly structured homes with strict rules. If he wasn’t getting that, and if in a home filled with guns and survivalist rhetoric he had started obsessing about shooting others who were a threat to him, then I can easily see why he would respond by going to a school and doing what he did.

  I’m not excusing it. But you can’t blame everyone else with similar problems for it, and you can’t lock them all up. We don’t have enough facilities in the world to lock them up, anyway. What you can do is help out relatives who may be having trouble with their own troubled children – not by offering unsolicited advice, but by offering to relieve them as caregivers from time to time.

  There is no easy solution. There is also no way to keep your children safe 100% of the time. They can be killed in a million ways: stray gang bullet, drunk drivers (and you can’t lock all those up either, unfortunately), terrorists, wrong place at the wrong time. All you can do is look for places you might be able to help before terrible things happen, and pray that God grants you the wisdom and courage to act when you see those places.

  and what will you do with those who are not mentally insane to keep them from killing and killing and killing? This is NOT a case that should color your impression of all mentally disturbed people.

  I have a son who has PDD/NOS. He is just a hair shy of Asperger’s. I have a milder case of what he has myself. These children obsess over things; in his case, it’s a harmless obsession with medieval knights and similarly themed video games.

  I read these descriptions of the shooter and his mom, and it gives me chills. *I* used to have to pick up my son from a Connecticut school when he had withdrawn, growling, under a desk. *I* had to deal with his sometimes-violent outbursts in public. I was perhaps fortunate. Because I understood a little of what he was going through, I found a way to break through to him, get him to care and feel. My husband, who is not his natural father, has always been brilliant with him, loving and caring but strict enough to give him firm boundaries.

  What was the problem with the shooter? I don’t know. It was not simply autism, or a personality disorder, or the presence of guns in the house, or some hatred he still bore toward his school, or something his mother had done. I suspect part of it was the absence of his father – not just after the divorce, but before, when he was likely working long hours in the city away from home to build his career. It may also have been a lack of boundaries, something that might seem to be a good response to (cont

• ‘They Were Children’: 7 & 11 Year Old Boys Attempt Armed Robbery in Oregon Church Parking Lot

  In reply to cemerius.

  Priscilla King – YES. That 7yo child could harm another child or an adult. A gun is an equalizer – it can kill whoever is on the wrong end of it. If a child was threatening someone with a gun and I really thought he’d pull the trigger, even accidentally – I’d do what it took. Then I’d deal with the guilt and nightmares later.

  These little punks probably won’t make 18, frankly. Not unless Mom and/or Dad gets a clue.

• AutoZone Employee (and Veteran) Fired After Using His Gun to Ward Off Armed Robber

  frust@ted

  This isn’t wrongfull termination, autozone had a 0 tollerance policy with regards to guns, he violated that policy it’s a pretty clear he was fired for just cause.

  ———————————————————–

  Of course it wasn’t wrongful termination. But me shopping elsewhere because Autozone has a stupid policy is also not wrongful. You needn’t follow company rules off a cliff; in certain cases – like, say, saving lives – they can and should be bent.

• MSNBC Anchor Tells Israeli Ambassador Hamas Rockets ‘Rarely Do Damage’

  @The Jerk: You said, “CatB, I agree, but only if they show the many more Palestinian civilians killed. It’s called fair and balanced.”

  Are you talking about the Palestinian civilians who keep miraculously rising from the dead on camera? Or are you talking about the ones who actually died in Syria? Clarify these things for us.

• Atheist Group Sues Indiana, Demanding Right to Have ‘Secular Celebrants’ Legally Marry Non-Believers

  October 27, 2012 at 6:32pm

  This is idiotic. Most states have laws like this; it basically means that those officiants are able to sign off on your marriage certificate, and that’s all.

  When my husband and I got married, he was posted in Pensacola and we both lived there, but we wanted to have his uncle, a Kentucky pastor, marry us. I had a friend who was a notary public sign the certificate a couple days early, then we went to Kentucky and had our ceremony. The state paperwork, which is the only thing the state has jurisdiction over, is totally different from the ceremony – though many people combine the two, it’s not necessary at all.

• Iranian Commander Says Conflict With Israel Could Lead to World War III

  They WANT war. How can you talk peace when the other side wants nothing but to destroy you? When they are willing to take horrible damage in order to destroy you? This has been coming for two decades now – the only real questions are when will it start, and who will throw the first punch.
