On 7/27/17 I put you on my do not respond list....but as time went on I softened up...or maybe just felt sorry for you and chatted with you. But you are a troll and everyone knows it.

I'm re-updating it. We're just talking past each other now.

adious....maybe tomorrow...maybe not.

Snoofy,

no...no...your soul...a heart

Snoofy,

"What am I missing?"

Your mind.

Snoofy,

If nothing else, the ones who were getting paid.

What kind of sicko would flag my post "funny"?

The fact no liberals on this site have joined in to agree the adults are to blame speaks for itself.

Snoofy,

If a pool had a paid lifeguard on duty to watch a bunch of kids who all knew how to swim very well, and one of the kids drowned, do you think the lifeguard can say, "no...not my fault...they all knew how to swim".

Regardless if they children knew better than to cross a highway, there were several adults at this event and at least one of them was specifically assigned to that child.

Simply they held this event and lost control.

You can't blame the boy.

The adults are to blame for being negligent.

Snoofy,

Or death by drunk.

That's part of the problem.

We want to frame the conversation in such a way to prove a point.

Is it this or that?

Maybe the blame should fall on the fact he was drunk and not blame the gun or the car.

What in the world is wrong with people these days?

Parents are smothering their children and people expect the government to shelter them from a lifetime of bad decisions.

I think rampant drug use is creating a massively immature society with a messed up view of reality and normalcy.

Honestly, I believe the average IQ of people posting on this site has dropped significantly the last 5 years.

It's dropping daily.

Snoofy posted again.

That's another point.

Snoofy,

"For example if you don't want your children to drown don't have a pool in your home"

Teach them to swim dummy.

Bored,

"Small price to pay for our freedoms."

Thank you for that enlightening post.

I don't think anyone else could have made my point any better.

What you wrote was pathetic.

I'm done....no more from me on this thread.

When I read this story it hit me particularly hard.

Many years ago I saw my wife get hit by a car and tumble through the air over 2 lanes.

It left her with physical problems.

When I read this story it broke my heart just thinking about that boy getting hit by a truck at high speed.

And all some people can feel is annoyed because the story was slanted?

Don't you think I feel this boy's death was just for the benefit of some liberals dragging kids outside to get themselves on TV?

What a sad pointless death!

I'd venture to guess we're going to see these little charades some to a halt when parents start demanding their kids be kept in class.

Red,

I think the point of the "slant" is that these children don't really understand the full issue of gun control and that liberals are using children to promote a message.

Sure...at first some kids were spontaneously walking out.

Now it's become a side show.

Obviously, these particular children weren't protesting anything so why were they out of class?

Am I to assume you would have been bothered by the story if it hadn't been slanted?

Danni,

"Because in that toxic environment they are never allowed to win an argument."

Is that what it's all about?

Just winning arguments?

When it comes to issues such as the environment or civil rights, how does anyone come away saying they won?

You just make a statement and let it stand for itself.

If it holds water people will see.

If it's just an attempt to shame people into agreeing with you, they'll see that too.

Sounds like you're not entirely convinced liberals have a strong enough case to stand up to Fox conservatives.

You called her a "sell out".

Selling out only happens if you change your opinion based on your audience. Is that was she did?

Frankly...your attitude that she shouldn't be supported for her efforts sounds...well...like a cop out.

Danni,

"catastrophe which is surely coming"

On that we agree.

Danni,

"Sorry, I have zero respect for any so called "liberal" who would sell their soul to be an in-house liberal on Fox News."

I am a little surprised you don't support her effort to represent the liberal viewpoint in a predominately conservative environment.

Snoofy,

If you're going to post Bible quotes, how about this one?

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her"

Snoofy,

You quote Cain who killed his brother when God asked him where is your brother?

Dirk,

"are feminism and conservatism even compatible"

I have to wonder if a significant difference in the way liberals and conservatives view women is that many conservative men feel it is a God given responsibility to "look out for" women. They feel it is the man's duty to care for women.

I have to suspect liberal men either don't see themselves having that responsibility or maybe liberal women won't permit it.

Laura,

The conservatives I know treat women very well.

Though the idea that "stay at home" moms and wives feeling disenfranchised from the women's movement isn't anything new.

I've been seeing that written about for quite a long time.

I'm not so sure that is a trait of "modern" feminism".

Laura,

"Conservatives aren't a hotbed of women's rights so"

Not the conservatives I know.

Danni,

"If you think that is the biggest crime committed against our environment every day you are just not paying attention."

Get over yourself.

Don't play the "only liberals know anything" game.

I was commenting that I'm not surprised the reef is dying.

We lather ourselves up in lotion and then go swimming.

You don't use sunscreen when you go the beach?

I have a couple of strange looking spots on the back of my hand I'm getting looked at next week.

Hope they're nothing.

btw...I was recently listening to a woman on NPR who wrote a book (yea...I listen to NPR and not Fox...gee...you can't blame my conservative inclinations on Fox)

Every day thousands upon thousands of people walk up to the shorelines and pour gallons of sunscreen into the water.

So we put it on our bodies.

Same difference.

Mankind is a virus to this planet.

Great....he protested pollution by starting a fire.

Very consistent logic.

Frankly, it would have made more sense to kill himself by exposure to the cold in the wintertime.

Even refusing to eat would have been more impressive.

Sort of like Al Gore flying around in jumbo jets to protest carbon emissions.
