- a bargain. Everyone should own it. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 16, 12:01 1

- Again, I'll say, if I witnessed someone raping a child, I'd likely kill him. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Nov 16, 11:57 29
  - Are you assuming the rapist is male? Or are you saying you'd kill the witness? - ceregon Nov 16, 12:05 16
    - Seriously? Last I checked Sandusky is a male, yes. -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 12:07 15
      - In education, there are lots of stories about women taking advantage of underage male students. -- nm - ceregon Nov 16, 12:14 14
        
        underage doesn't usually mean ten years old -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 12:23 1
        
        what does it usually mean? nm -- nm - Vulgar Professional Nov 16, 12:24
        
        in the full expectation of being pounced on - i think it differs somewhat. - Andie Nov 16, 12:15 11
        
        Should we assume that your reasoning is that rape of a man by a woman is not quite as bad as rape of a man by a man - ty97 Nov 16, 12:23 10
        
        To me, frankly, it has to do with penetration, coupled with age. - mara Nov 16, 12:30
        
        and yes. - Andie Nov 16, 12:27 3
        
        That's where I figured you were coming from. - ty97 Nov 16, 12:28 1
        
        also, i believe that unwelcome penetration performed on either gender is equally bad. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 12:34
        
        I agree with this. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 12:27
        
        in the case of the schoolteachers, usually they "seduced" the kid. In Sandusky's case, it was violent and forcible and probably injured the child. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 12:25 4
        
        It seems like Sandusky did both. He seduced them and forced them. -- nm - Inigo Nov 16, 12:27 2
        
        that's possibly true, but they would have had far less understanding of sex than say, an underage teen. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 12:28 1
        
        note: I'm saying underage teen, because usually in the schoolteacher cases, that's what the boys were. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 12:29
        
        this. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 12:26
  - It's easy to say something like that until you are in the situation. -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 16, 12:02 5
    - Well, I'll say that I can't really put myself in the observer-in-question's shoes. But, me? Today? Walking through a locker room and seeing that? - Dr.Vermin Nov 16, 12:29
    - [deleted]
    - Might as well tell Bery to shut down ST -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 12:15
    - I respectfully say, bull shit. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 12:10
    - It's easy to say something like that because there's no way in hell I'd let someone continue to rape a child. Period. - Jim Nov 16, 12:05
  - What confuses me is that it sounds like McQ .... watched?...for 30-60 seconds? - ty97 Nov 16, 11:58 5
    - we really don't know that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 12:04 4
      - That why I said "sounds like" based on his statement and words. I'm not assuming anything as fact. -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 12:06 2
        
        honestly, i think i could see just being paralyzed and my brain trying to make sense of what i was seeing for a few seconds. - Andie Nov 16, 12:09 1
        
        I could easily see that happening. Just not being able to comprehend it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 12:12
      - We don't know a lot of things. But people, particularly the media, love filling in holes and coming up with facts. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 16, 12:05
- "Hey Noah Emmerich, we'd like you to play Mc-" "I'm busy. Forever." -- nm - Max Nov 16, 11:54
High IQ at age 5, 10 linked to high risk of illegal drug use -- (link) - Mop (195 lbs) Nov 16, 11:49 7
- Well, sure. High IQ must correlate pretty strongly with curiosity. - Dr.Vermin Nov 16, 12:11 2
  - between that and needing to numb the constant disappointment of the world not living up to your expectations, sure. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 12:29 1
    - Exactly! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 16, 12:30
- Sad but true. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 12:11
- you need to cope with it somehow. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 12:05
- Randomly, I read that "Joe" of Trader Joe's came up with the idea of selling liquor because he knew - con_carne Nov 16, 11:53 1

Is you is or is you ain't my baby? -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 11:44
My contact with Sprint is up next month. Can I just pay next months bill early and then cancel my account and not pay the early temination fee? -- nm - sycor Nov 16, 11:44 6
- If you intend to pay the last month anyway, why not just pay it and cancel at the end next month? Why risk complications? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Nov 16, 11:51 3
  - probably wants to port the number. -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 11:52 2
    - yeah. I want my number and Verizon has a good deal right now. and their service is better around here. -- nm - sycor Nov 16, 12:11
    - Honestly, I wouldn't mess with it. Too likely someone screws something up. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Nov 16, 11:58
- I don't think so. I know I tried to do something like this when canceling AT&Tand I had to wait until the day of contract expiration. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 11:51 1
  - I talked to sprint. Looks like my ETF is only $50 which is less than my monthly bill. Hello Verizon! :) -- nm - sycor Nov 16, 12:11
In case you missed it, Congress is trying to break the Internet. -- (link) - Mop (195 lbs) Nov 16, 11:40 3
- now where will i get my illegally pirated copyrighted content?! -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 16, 12:00 2
  - Just don't post a link on ST, or it'll get shut down. Hmm... *files a copyright infringement claim against BOP* -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Nov 16, 12:19
  - Same places as always because this bill won't stop it. - ty97 Nov 16, 12:02

  - steal from me as much as you want. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 11:43
- woah woah woah.... damnit. -- nm - Manny Ramirez Nov 16, 11:39
11/22/63 is King's best in years, per the AV Club. -- (link) - Reagen Nov 16, 11:37 4
- I appreciate that he broke out of his mold a bit to try something different. - ty97 Nov 16, 11:39 2
  - I'm only 40 pages in and it's decent -- nm - Remlik Nov 16, 11:51
  - I don't think it's any coincidence that the "modern" King I like best is Bag of Bones, which is a lot different than the rest of his canon. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 11:44

- How does all of the traveling you have to do factor into this? - prayformojo Nov 16, 11:41 4
  - Strangely, I think my anxiety tends to flare more at home than on the road. - ty97 Nov 16, 11:46 3
    - I'd suggest that when you travel most things are pre-determined for you - you don't need to make major decisions. At home you're responsible for your - MojaveMeg Nov 16, 11:51 1
      - I think there's a good amount of truth in that assessment. - ty97 Nov 16, 11:57
    - hmm. interesting -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 11:47
- lots of sympathy. I have anxiety as well. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 11:35

  - Was it you who linked that "This Is Your Life; Do What You Love" graphic? I like that. -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 11:37 1
    - I believe so. Let me know if you want me to link it again, I'm sure I have it somewhere. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 16, 12:12
  - Will you settle for once a week? - ty97 Nov 16, 11:35 3
    - FYI, I think of you as someone who actively goes out and tries to overcome things that scare you. I admire that a lot. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 11:36 2
      - Thanks, though I think to be fair that's only true at times. Other times, I have trouble getting myself to even leave my condo. - ty97 Nov 16, 11:37 1
        
        I get that, but you have also taken some enormous steps (like your job). -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 11:39

  - He has scored 13 recieving TD's. His best year was - amoxy Nov 16, 11:51
  - I think he's the best return man in the history of the NFL, but like being the best DH ever, that doesn't mean you get to the hall of fame. -- nm - Inigo Nov 16, 11:49

    - it's kind of bewildering that he hasn't -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 11:48 2

  - Nay, he's a flashy guy, but it's a niche thing and he's arguably not even the best ever at it. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 11:35
  - Nope. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 16, 11:33
  - if he was ever able to reach more-than-middling status as a WR in addition to this, I'd consider it. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 11:32 5
    - Meanwhile, I can't imagine a Canadian Hall of Fame without Gizmo Williams in it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 11:34 4
      - although again, he was a decent receiver. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 11:36 3
        
        I don't recall his numbers, but I never remember him being that good at the position. Never an all-star even once at the position. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 11:37 2
        
        I'd add that part of the argument for Gizmo is his longetivity - Reagen Nov 16, 11:43

Man suspected of firing shots at White House may be threat to Obama. you think? -- (link) - loosilu Nov 16, 11:26 6
- He's been caught. -- (link) - Mop (195 lbs) Nov 16, 11:42
- nah. it's a bigger threat to the maintenance staff who have to fix the holes the darn place has better security & safety measures than Fort Knox :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 16, 11:38 1
  - the house is not the problem. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 11:42
- I'm pretty sure the walls and windows could be used as a backstop in any firing range without problems, even anti aircraft round -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 11:31 2
  - Obama will be fine as long as he never goes outdoors again. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 11:34
