This one's too obvious bkb

[Eraser]

sure there is, but if that has no bearing on the actions of psycho-boy loughner, why bring it up?

I don't think it was Plan B or Ryoki bringing up the issue, they just hopped on the train of thought that's been riding media land for a while now.
It's impossible to prove that the ad is what triggered (no pun intended) the psycho boy to do this, but it's hard to deny that the undertone of the ad could possibly have such effects as well.

[Ryoki]

do we know that psycho-boy actually saw that image?

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

[Plan B]

quite

[Eraser]

The question is, though, are there also unknown knowns?

[xer0s]

Speculation speculation...

I read that Giffords is being transported to a rehabilitation center in Houston. According to her doctors, she's making great progress and has even stood up out of bed. Good luck to her, I hope she does well.

it's worrying the way people uncritically accept what they read and hear in the mainstream media when what they hear confirms their pre-existing prejudices

good thing it's only fox news watchers who do that though

[Plan B]

Yeah, good thing us mainstream media gobbling fools got pristine and objective little you to tell us what's what

[seremtan]

someone sounds upset, as if something just went *whoosh* over their heads...

[Plan B]

when out of arguments, pull "upset" - and "whoosh" cards.

seremtan thinks he's an all-knowing philosopher just because he's a janitor at Oxford.

[GONNAFISTYA]

At least he aint an Iranian, Swedish, Norwegian, ass-shavin muslim, atheist, terrorist in a pirate costume.

when never had any arguments to start with, pull "flail" and "spastic" cards

You know, it's the old glass box at the—
At the gas station,
Where you're using those little things
Trying to pick up the prize,
And you can't find it.
It's—

And it's all these arms are going down in there,
And so you keep dropping it
And picking it up again and moving it,
But—

Some of you are probably too young to remember those—
Those glass boxes,
But—

But they used to have them
At all the gas stations
When I was a kid.

[seremtan]

actually, the guy in that pic looks a lot like mazda

[Ryoki]

old glass box

beautiful
This one is also profound:

I think what you'll find,
I think what you'll find is,
Whatever it is we do substantively,
There will be near-perfect clarity
As to what it is.

And it will be known,
And it will be known to the Congress,
And it will be known to you,
Probably before we decide it,
But it will be known.

Jared Lee Loughner (lol @ redneck names...and how it's usually a redneck shootin the place up) got 7 consecutive life sentences....plus 140 years...just in case all those "life" sentences don't keep him locked up for good.

[Don Carlos]

Good. He will have an arsehole like tunnel before too long

[xer0s]

That's so fuckin stupid. Now we pay for him to live out the rest of his life...

[GONNAFISTYA]

Is that how you see lifelong incarceration? As paying for someone?

You right-wingers really do see reality different than the rest of us.
