  - They've always done that here, but I don't recall ever seeing somebody order one. -- nm - Ender Jul 24, 07:56 1
    - some of our Pizza Pizza places sell beer, but i don't know if anyone ever orders it. -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 07:59
- whoa. KFC has burritos? (I hate that we have no KFC here. I would only eat it like once a year if we did, but I miss it.) -- nm - peggy ann m Jul 24, 07:52 4
  - There are a lot of joint KFC/Taco Bell outlets here -- nm - Roger More Jul 24, 07:53 3

      - I'm glad I'm not the only one that immediately went there. -- nm - spamlet Jul 24, 07:57
    - Oh, I just realised this is at their new fancified KFC Fresh stores. -- nm - Roger More Jul 24, 07:55

    - Her pleading his case must have went a long way. - Spawn Lord Jul 24, 07:54
- see, he should have just beat a woman instead of getting inked! -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 07:48 4
  - Hell, a couple of them, even. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 24, 07:50 3
    - @PFTCommenter: at least Ray Rices wife wasnt a pit bull dog -- nm - nubby Jul 24, 07:52 2

    - I liked her reaction when the finally got the lid off the baton last night. -- nm - LMS Jul 24, 07:52
- This selfie-photobomb stuff is retarded. - Will Hunting Jul 24, 07:43 6
  - Totally disagree. Millions of better pics of her online already. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 24, 07:44 5
    - Sure, but I know I was there. My friends will know I was there. I could care less what denizens of the 'net think. - Will Hunting Jul 24, 07:57 4
      - I am sure they talked to her before that. For a 14 year old girl (and for most), a pic of the queen would soon be forgotten. - Spawn Lord Jul 24, 08:02
      - "couldn't care less" -- nm - zork Jul 24, 08:01 1
        
        *Weird Al high five* -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 24, 08:02
      - You are also not a 14-year old girl. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 08:00
- Uh, my assumption is that they were trying to get her in the pic. - JaxSean Jul 24, 07:40
- cute - but they act like her being there was surprise, the girls obviously took the picture that way on purpose. -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 07:39
Suspended Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon was arrested for possession of marijuana Wednesday night in Edmond, Oklahoma. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 24, 07:33 14
- And that should do it. - JaxSean Jul 24, 07:36 2
  - Yeah, Dungy would not sign him now. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 24, 07:42 1
    - He's gay now? -- nm - pmb Jul 24, 07:44
- I'll bet the Jags are loving the rookie salary rules. Being a bust on the field is one thing, but being a complete moron is even worse. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 07:35
- He was a great 3-4th WR option before this mess -- nm - Broot Jul 24, 07:34 1
  - I imagine there are a fair number of dynasty league folks who hate this dude now. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 07:36
- the bigger question here is why the hell is he in Edmond, Oklahoma? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 24, 07:34 7
  - I'm guessing he is from there or went to school there. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 07:41
  - He went to high school just south of Oklahoma City, and college just north of there, and Edmond is a suburb. -- nm - nubby Jul 24, 07:38 1
    - I know - my 1st boyfriend lived in Edmond, its a great little town but it just shocked me ya know? - Epiphany Jul 24, 07:55
  - On his way back from Colorado, stopped back home probably. heh -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 07:37
  - somebody's growin' some kind bud? -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 07:36
  - He went to school at Oklahoma State, probably visiting friends or something. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 24, 07:36
  - IKR? Not like there's 50 Shades of Edmond, Oklahoma? -- nm - Broot Jul 24, 07:35

Israel just bombed a UN facility. Killing 15 -- (link) - Beaker Jul 24, 07:12 70
- Maybe Hamas should stop using UN facilities to hide their rockets. - TWuG Jul 24, 07:15 67
  - It's a pretty easy defense to argue every time (x location) is bombed that Hamas has a rocket there - ty97 Jul 24, 07:27 53
    - Perhaps if Hamas didn't have rockets there would be no need to bomb anything. - TWuG Jul 24, 07:32 21
      - What a tunnel vision view of the world. Can I buy you a color TV please. - ty97 Jul 24, 07:37 3
        
        The problem is. You are only providing a one sided view yourself. What do you expect? -- nm - Bacon Jul 24, 07:40 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Hey hey hey. Israel should let them fire rockets into their country and just take it. Don't you see? Turn the other cheek, and be the bigger people -- nm - Bacon Jul 24, 07:36 16
        
        On the flip side, Israel was also supposed to lift the siege after the ceasefire in 2012 (which largely held) they didn't. - mafic Jul 24, 07:47 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        was just about to post something along these lines as well. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 24, 07:48
        
        We see it every time. Hamas pushes too far, Israel strikes back, and suddenly the academics, intellectuals, and outragers condemn Israel... - IrishStephen Jul 24, 07:44 12
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        Yes, I've seen exactly that. - IrishStephen Jul 24, 07:50 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Don't you get it? In the US mentality, you are either for Israel (all the time! no matter what!) or you are against Israel. - ty97 Jul 24, 07:49 2
        
        i actually think Canada is worse for this. -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 07:50
        
        [deleted]
        
        The same place everyone else was. Condemning Hamas. -- nm - ty97 Jul 24, 07:46 5
        
        There's nowhere near this level of outrage directed at Hamas, not even close. - IrishStephen Jul 24, 07:55 4
        
        I think it's because it's understood that terrorists are universally condemned, while Israel is supposed to be like us - a modern, democratic country - Roger More Jul 24, 08:02
        
        of course there is. no-one thinks Hamas is in the right. -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 08:01
        
        The vast majority of this country is 100%, unquestionably, in all cases on Israel's side and against Hamas. - ty97 Jul 24, 08:00 1
        
        [deleted]
    - Well, it's not hard to track where one of the thousands of fired missiles came from. We gave them the technology to do it. -- nm - Bacon Jul 24, 07:30 30
      - And our rockets have never missed their target and killed a wedding party, so that's reassuring -- nm - ty97 Jul 24, 07:30 29
        
        Innocents die in war. Is it acceptable? No. But Hamas is the party at fault. - TWuG Jul 24, 07:34
        
        Guess what. If Hamas stops firing rockets into Israel they won't accidently bomb their shit. - Bacon Jul 24, 07:33 27
        
        Ahh, yes, I mention that innoncents may be dying unnessarily and now I'm "anti-Israel" - ty97 Jul 24, 07:40 4
        
        You don't think Hamas is hiding behind civilians? It's been on every major news network. So how would you get the missiles away from them? - Bacon Jul 24, 07:43 3
        
        You know how you don't kill those same human shields? Lobbing bombs at them. - Will Hunting Jul 24, 07:55
        
        I haven't called for no casualties. But I have said, and I will continue to say, that Israel can't be givien a blank check on casualties either. - ty97 Jul 24, 07:46 1
        
        I think it's fair to question. Hamas though shouldn't be hiding stuff in civilian areas and they cry when Israel does what they wanted them to do all - Bacon Jul 24, 07:50
        
        people are dying on both sides, less in israel in fact. my office is half Israeli, but i don't think Israel is blameless here. -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 07:37 21
        
        This is a really tough situation. Nobody is blameless, but that doesn't make it equal. We all want Israel to show restraint because they have so - pmb Jul 24, 07:42 20
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        The actions are aimed at taking out the weapons and the means for obtaining more. That's very different than targeting civilians as Hamas does. -- nm - pmb Jul 24, 07:53 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Intent matters. -- nm - pmb Jul 24, 08:00 1

        Cuba would cease to exist, as a piece of land, if that were the case. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 07:47 2
        
        They had Russia's nuclear deterent to prevent that. -- nm - Bacon Jul 24, 07:52 1
        
        Disregard above. I read the wrong post -- nm - Bacon Jul 24, 07:54
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Any country would. No country would (or should be expected to) simply absorb constant attacks without protecting itself. Attacks that target - pmb Jul 24, 07:52 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        no need to shift blame when there's plenty to go around on both sides. -- nm - znufrii Jul 24, 07:54 1
        
        That's just false equivalence, though. "Both sides have blame" ignores that one side deliberately targets civilians while using civilians as shields - TWuG Jul 24, 08:01
        
        I agree with this and especially the last sentence. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 24, 07:44
        
        oh, i agree. but i don't like the north american perspective that israel can never do wrong. -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 07:43 5
        
        I totally agree that Israel can and has done wrong, but I think in the world at large they take a disproportionate amount of blame. I get that when - pmb Jul 24, 07:50 3
        
        Pretty much this. A rational path for Israel would be to stop with the settlements in disputed areas and allow a bit more freedom of trade and travel - TWuG Jul 24, 07:58 2
        
        i don't think anyone said 'stop reacting'. just that israel needs to be accountable as well. -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 08:00 1
        
        They are accountable. And their reaction is measured. Is it resulting in greater than 0 civilian deaths? Yeah. - TWuG Jul 24, 08:06
        
        I don't say that myself. I don't like them building houses into areas that are occupied territories. I think that is just flaming the hatred for - Bacon Jul 24, 07:47
  - They should stop hiding them in ambulances too -- (link) - ty97 Jul 24, 07:22

    - Women and children are dying because Hamas keeps throwing missiles at Israel. The missiles stop, so does the retaliation from Israel. - TWuG Jul 24, 07:19 9
      - [deleted]
      - I think this is incomplete. Netanyahu has decided that it's in Israel's interests to stick with the status quo - a larger Israel and a weak Palestine - Roger More Jul 24, 07:36 4
        
        Absolutely. But Israel's actions are along the lines of blocking trade and building settlement. Not raining random destruction down on Palestinians. - TWuG Jul 24, 07:46 2
        
        No one's advocating sympathy for Hamas, just for the civilians affected by the conflict. -- nm - Roger More Jul 24, 07:51
        
        Sure seems like Israel is raining down random destruction from the Palestinian's POV, I'd wager. -- nm - znufrii Jul 24, 07:51
        
        how dare you provide a reasoned and nuanced explanation of the situation instead of taking sides! -- nm - znufrii Jul 24, 07:37
      - Why would they stop? this is a great recruiting tool for them! -- nm - znufrii Jul 24, 07:21 2
        
        Sure, because people feel sorry for the women and children Hamas deliberately puts in harm's way. -- nm - TWuG Jul 24, 07:24 1
        
        ...and? -- nm - Hamas Jul 24, 07:27
  - Ding Ding Ding!! And hospitals and schools -- nm - Bacon Jul 24, 07:16
- Is it the same facility that Hamas was hiding weapons in? -- nm - spamlet Jul 24, 07:15
