  1. LIMBAUGH: If this Virginia Tech shooter had an ideology, what do you think it was? This guy had to be a liberal. You start railing against the rich and all this other -- this guy's a liberal. He was turned into a liberal somewhere along the line. So it's a liberal that committed this act. Now, the drive-bys will read on a website that I'm attacking liberalism by comparing this guy to them. That's exactly what they do every day, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just pointing out a fact. I am making no extrapolation; I'm just pointing it out. http://mediamatters.org/items/200704190008 oy vey.
  2. well, and the smug "tone" that came with it - that's what made me so angry. "good job mom and dad, good job"
  3. on NPR the other day they were speaking to another woman from South Korea who was friends with his parents and worked with them at some point. She said that while he was painfully quiet and shy, he got good grades and was a respectful child. She went on to say that in their culture and community, there is an emphasis on academic achievement and that introvertedness is not necessarily a sign of anything out of order. Who is to say that the parents knew a thing about his violent writing, obsessing, etc??
  4. To blame the parents is fucking ridiculous. You have said a lot of fucked up things on this board before - but that may very well take the cake. -- I have nothing but empathy and sadness for that guy's parents. What they must be going through is unfathomable to me.
  5. yes - Rocky did try his best......but Burls wasn't listening......
  6. My favorite player in all of MLB pitched a NO HITTER!!!! WHEEEEEEEEE!!
  7. and on a day where over 150 people were blown up in Iraq.
  8. students and professional screenwriters.
  9. well after the end of August - most pools in this area of the country and drained and covered for the winter. So, no one was using the pool - and I would assume not too many people look under the tarp very often. It does still seem odd though that so much time has passed. My condolences to family and friends of Paul - I hope you are able to get some answers and closure now.
  10. now that I am not working - and have a parking space - this might actually be do-able.......
  11. Our Emily is OBSESSED with that song......if I hear it one more time, my brain might explode.
  12. Those LED signs have been very helpful in tracking down abducted children. I know when I see them on the roadways and it has a car description, license plate, etc I pay attention. Obviously, a different scenario, and one that happens a lot more frequently - but it has proven successful. -- and....if you are concerned about where your tuition money goes - I am sure you could find a great many things to gripe about without having to look very far. Fiscal waste at universities? Never.
  13. What I am hearing is that he has been in the states since 1992 (from S Korea) and lived in Centreville, VA. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/the_shooter;_yl...Nghesvo0tCs0NUE
  14. well - I was pretty much saying it in jest. Though, I really would like to move away from here anyway. That part I jest not.
  15. if the Olympics comes to Chicago - I am moving. Well....2016? I hope I will have moved by then anyway.
  16. If you seriously think that King was not considered an "agitator" by the majority of whites, some blacks and the bulk of politicians in his day, you are sorely mistaken......I have a friend who's grandmother has said, even in recent years, "I still blame that Dr. King. If it weren't for him coming and stirring up trouble, everything would still be fine." MLK and the many many many people who risked and lost their lives WERE agitators against the dominant culture - and even today some of his messages have been watered down and suppressed by dominant culture - so we can hold him up as a simpli
  17. if you call what you got there a "team"
  18. well Sean Hannity said that liberals should stop breathing - maybe that would help?
