Tragic. It sounds like the story is still developing, but there are casualties.

 

I recommend not reading the comments section on that article. Ugh.

didn't they catch some nutjub eralier this year who planned that exact thing?

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

It's the Sun, I recommend not reading it at all :p

****ty as the Sun, Wapo, NYTimes,etc may be, they are sometimes the first with info X. Particularly when it's a tragic event.

 

As for comments... run of the mill for anything like this from what I saw... but I certainly may have seen different comments than Hurl as there are a few hundred of them.

It's mostly just the standard Muslims! scream and blaming the media and government for not jumping immediately to that conclusion. Which of course the obvious odds are this is the act of Muslim extremism. But that is basically the point of a terrorist attack, right? Ratchet up tension, try and justify a misguided holy war? I don't think it was about Arianna Grande's music.

The monthly terror attack sponsored by Trump's new Saudi friends.

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

The monthly terror attack sponsored by Trump's new Saudi friends.

They do the best attacks, really great attacks, just fantastic.

"Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

 

I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.

    Not sure how many people have seen this old British comedy series called "Yes Prime Minister!".

     

    Jim Hacker (the PM) explains who reads the newspapers

     

    Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

     

    Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?

     

    Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big ****.

    On the news today, the announced the "President's FY 2017 budget". Apparently FY stands for "Fiscal Year", although the content looks closer to some other FY phrase... hmm.

    "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

    One of my favourite segments of the program. Bernard's the best.

    Please ... please contain your shock levels. I know this will come as a surprise to everyone... and by everyone I mean no one.

     

    You want my advice? Turn off the news, get off the internet, go fishing. You will be much happier!

    Quite lot Trump supporters seem to be quite generous and are willing to take even 700% increase in their premiums in order to give mainly Clinton voters cuts in their premiums.

    Maybe they look further than the end of their noses?

    You don't know idioms either? Who the hell hires you as a teacher? Flat earth society?

    Yap yap yap, dog.

     

    Clearly he is just asking you to explain your point further. You must be an engineer with such inept communication skills.

    I'd go with a one-trick pony over a dog, since he relies so heavily on the teacher digs. I mean, who can blame him? Clearly my identity as a teacher is tied heavily to my interactions on a video game forum, and every time he mentions it, it shakes my confidence to its very core.  ;(

     

     

     

     

    I guess we can all just ignore Sharp's idea that Trump supporters are all willing to sacrifice personal health care for a vague notion of "the greater good".

     

    What is it with men these days? You can hear the cry in his voice and talk about legal action. He clearly has no concept of honor, like a woman.

    So is it still mandatory to have insurance still?

     

    Also, don't care which side but I will clap for whoever slugs a reporter :)

    No, pretty sure my ancestors spent '44 in Trinidad. One good thing that came out of that war was the US base they built and a highway to boot, that highway is still intact even with my countrymen's half assed attitude towards maintenance
