• ‘He Was Hitting Hikers’: 50-60 Injured as Car Plows Into Va. Crowd

  May 20, 2013 at 11:51am

  You don’t have to be old to have a heart attack while driving. How about less time making jokes about old people and making strained comparisons between operating a motor vehicle (privilege) and owning a firearm (2nd amendment right) and more time praying for the health and recovery of all those hurt in this accident. This article was meant to evoke our compassion for the injured, after reading this thread, it is clear that purpose failed miserably.

• Report: Obama Administration Apologizes for Another National Security Leak

  So everyone here is screaming about leaks to the press, while at the same time screaming at the DOJ about investigating who is making leaks to the press. Talk about having your cake and eating it to.

• Ted Nugent’s Brother Endorses Gun Background Checks in WaPo Op-Ed: ‘The NRA Has It Wrong’ (Plus: Ted Responds)

  By your logic, we should have no laws outlawing any behavior whatsoever, because criminals will ignore it.

• Panic: Blanks Fired, Cannes Crowd Collapses Into Chaos

  The lack of empathy on this board is truly remarkable. I’m sure everyone here would turn in to freakin’ Rambo when gun fire goes off while your in a crowded area. Easy to talk smack safely behind your computer.

• This Viral Star Trek-Themed Audi Ad Is Pretty Entertaining

  Falcon, you sure showed them. If you had gone to iron man 3 they would have grossed 174,100,012 instead of 174,100,000 in its opening weekend. Don’t think they’re going to make it after losing that business. I like your attitude though. Why have a good time when I can go on the internet and complain about stuff that doesn’t physically affect me. If you want to do something about lefty Hollywood prejudice, then get some money, make a movie with conservative actors, and have it actually be good. People watch movies to escape for 2 hours, not to further the political agenda of those making the movie.

• High School Runner, Family Now Claim Son Was Not Disqualified in TX for Giving Thanks to God

  Yes Silver, you should know the rules of the sport you are competing in, including the rules regarding personal conduct. If you do not agree participate in the sport according to those rules, then you do not have to compete. High School sports are voluntary, not required, it is also a privilege to represent your school in whatever capacity and those schools are well within their rights to determine how they will be represented. My opinion is that this would have gone away with a couple of “Yes, sir”, “No, sir”, “Won’t happen again sir”. That apparently didn’t happen here. I will applaud the family for setting the matter straight, they could have ridden the whole religious expression issue and gotten far more support across the country, but chose to be truthful, eventually.

• Students Asked to ‘Argue That Jews Are Evil’ and Prove Nazi Loyalty in Assignment Linked to Common Core

  April 12, 2013 at 5:19pm

  This is ridiculous, you can’t teach persuasive writing by telling people to pick between flowers and kittens. This is a tool used to get students to actually think for a change. When the premise is ludicrous and you are told to argue for it, it forces you to think harder and to write better. Afterwords, writing persuasively for things you actually believe in is not only easier to do, but you naturally look for evidence to support your arguments which leads to stronger arguments. In a history class on the Civil War focusing just on Missouri, we were asked to write a paper putting ourselves in the position of a farmer in Civil War Missouri and asked how we would prevent ourselves from being killed by Confederates like Quantrill while also not being killed by Union forces looking for Confederate sympathizers. That assignment also forced us to not pick sides ideologically but rather pragmatically which lead to more interesting ideas from the class. At the time all I could think of was try to bribe everybody and get the heck out of dodge when no one was looking.

• No Filibuster: Senate Votes to Move Forward on Gun Bill

  April 11, 2013 at 12:35pm

  I personally don’t understand what everyone is so scared of. If it is a bad bill the Senate may eventually pass it, but the House is Republican controlled, so what is the fear? Let it come up for a vote in the Senate then go to the House and see what happens. We have background checks for most purchases, what is the harm in having background checks for sales a gun shows and internet sales? What is the difference between a gun sale at a gun show as opposed to a gun sale at a business? What makes them so important as to not be required to play under the same rules as everyone else?

  That would be difficult, unless you live in 14 different states.
