I think they have to be warned that the internet is suddenly recommending their kids do stupid things, and that, because of the way social media has become a ducking nightmare, their kids are more likely to do it then the parents might think.

So you don’t want our opinions, do you? You just want people to agree with you.

His thoughts seem to be that they share almost no characteristics, no philosophical underpinnings, and that there seems to be no direct path from the one to the other.

What do you think a discussing of “proto-X” is going to look like, if not comparing it to other things looking for similarities and possible links?

I adore that last line.

I live it, daily.

I have several 300 gallon mixers at work, and a QA lab. If the mixer won’t do the job, I’ll just pour acids in until it is reduced to soup.

Then I’m fleeing the country because maintenance will make the eldrich horror look like the easy choice.

We need to get this right.

Step one is going to be working out vocabulary among yourselves before you start trying to teach it to us. I used to try to be correct, but the “correct” tends changed from person to person, group to group, and every six months or so.

Once you’ve figured it out, let us old folks know, and most of us will, I hope, make the adjustment.

But I can’t disagree with you either.

Well, I don’t want to be in violation of rule #2.

Talk to you guys later.

Busy being the site of the walls, unless I misunderstand the original statement.

Better than me.

DS9 is the best, no question. SNW is a very close second.

But TNG is my favorite. It’s where I want to live.

Lots of “manslaughter” and “involuntary manslaughter” in there. Firing a weapon hardly seems like “no intent to kill.”

Sure, but that’s not a service weapon.

“Charges” are a start. How many can you name who suffered the usual penalty for killing someone?

The police, as an institution, have entirely lost the benefit of the doubt.

And the policy of “shot first” is not one I want to see in my civilian protection agency.

Maybe the cops should be a little more careful who they decide to murder.

They one third, and to an extent the second third, want the racism, the homophobia, the dismantling of government, maybe even the wreckage of the US as an international power.

None of them wanted higher prices.
