Should we wait to see if the perp was brown before making a thread?

Almost all American shootings these days are by angry white men.  If we had this rule you would think we were this peaceful country :blush:

Oddly for the last couple of years, since they announced the Scottish referendum campaign, I've been thinking of the country in economic and statistical term as England, with a variable number of other 'kingdoms/provinces/principalities' depending on politics, attached as an after thought.  :blush:

You, sir, are a traitor to Britain.

Probably wasn't conceited enough.

Well that was weird.
In a pub I randomly started talking to some woman about something or other. She was blonde and had something in her accent so I guessed "are you Swedish?"
"Oh wow, so close, my heritage is Norwegian actually" - American? But....
"So you're from Minnesota?"
Yes.
Yes she was.
I didn't know they still had a Scandinavian tint to their accent.

Fargo is something else. Didn't sound like this woman or any scandis I've met, even the ones who actually sound like scandis. Hmm.... Maybe I was just imagining things.

Oh, I'm sure she was just hideous.  Probably five pounds overweight and wore glasses or something.

Business planning meeting tomorrow, shall I go all out and 'blackmail'* them into giving me what I want**?  :ph34r:




edit:

* I should say it's not blackmail, just the threat of invoking review/sanctioning from a hight authority/their bosses.
** - not a something, but my own approach and I'm tired of people getting in my way.


Take what you want and don't let anyone stand in your way.

Well, it certainly is in my house.  A few weeks ago my then-6 year old had an assignment to gather 100 of anything and arrange it creatively to mark their first 100 days of school.  There were lame suggestions such as Cheerios or raisins, but on a whim I suggested that he check to see if he had that many Lego figures.  He came back with 98.  We found a couple more from behind the couch to make 100.
