Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for the victims. But this is simply going to be blown out of proportion.

[jon.kiparsky]

Out of proportion? I'm sorry, out of proportion?

What would you consider the correct proportion, beyond which this should not be blown? I have no idea what you're on about, but you sound like you're just emitting cliches at random at this point. Have you anything to say about this that didn't come off a bumper sticker?

[JoePatriot]

I feel as though, an don't blame me for starting a conspiracy, that this was not just some nut who decided to go and kill a bunch of people. This guy let himself be caught, and told the police that he had explosives in his home. Either this guy is insane or this was set up by a much larger (non-terrorist) organization.

I think you've been watching too much Fight Club, Joe.

Do you think the cops were just all "give up" and he did? No, they found him, guns drawn, ready to shoot him in the face. He was a coward and gave up because WHO WANTS TO GET SHOT IN THE FACE?

I'm leaning a little towards mentally ill. There was no point to be made in shooting a bunch of civilians, little kids and a baby included. Do you think secret large organizations just go all "lets shoot up a TDKR premium just for the heck of it"?

You feel this.

Okay, fine. Do you have any reason why anyone else should "feel" this as well, or should we just note that this is what you "feel", and let it go at that?

hey joe, you're fucking dumb.

[JoePatriot]

ohh look who's trying to be mean. I am not asking for anyone to agree with me, and am willing to hear you opinions and thoughts on the matter. I am not an irrational person. I do not call someone stupid or dumb just because i don't have an argument to come back with.

[supersloth]

you don't have an argument in the first place let alone one to come back with. you just have some bullshit you made up.

I'll give you that. You don't have an argument to come back with, and you haven't called anyone names.

My bad Jon. this was meant for Supersloth.

Defend this statement. Start by establishing that it means something - that is, that it makes a difference whether it's true or false. You might make a go at characterizing what sort of "right" you might be talking about in this context, and what you mean by "have an opinion".

I haven't seen this touched on yet - but why the fuck were there 6yr old and 3 month old kids at a midnight showing of a movie?

[supersloth]

you're right, everyone DOES have the right to an opinion. including dumb ones. like yours. your opinion is dumb. it is not rooted in fact, or evidence, or anything resembling a tiny bit of something that might one day be confused for fact or evidence or sourced information. so you can hold your dumb opinion, but i have the right to call it dumb. your opinion is dumb. ergo your dumb opinion leads me to believe you are dumb (i am using it as my evidence), and as such, i have the right to call you dumb.

you're fucking dumb, joe.

That happens all the time around here. It's the main reason I don't go to the movies anymore. People want to bring their young kids to movies that they shouldn't be in, whether it's because of the time of the showing or the type of movie, and the kids ruin it by crying the entire time or talking, or running through the theater like they own the place. I hate kids sometimes.
