Does Tim lead a Conradian existence?

[Eddie Teach]

His heart is pretty dark.

Maybe I lost a few posts when this thread was merged, but I read the whole thing. I don't remember that being brought up.

Something that just occurred to me:  The two cities in the US struck by Muslim terrorism are the two areas which were most supportive of the IRA.  Is it possible that karma works?

Obvious CdM troll is obvious.

Anyway, what do Boston marathon runners and Hitler have in common?

Neither was able to finish a race.

Lame and inaccurate.

Grammar fail.

A Boston Marathon runner was unable to finish his race.
Hiter was unable to finish his race off.

Edit: that was not a reference to hand-, foot- or blow-jobs, it was a reference to genocide.

So, the media seems determined to portray the surviving terrorist as a victim who has been "radicalized" and misled by his brother. I guess we are not even supposed to call him a "terrorist". I am sure it will all be a big misunderstanding that was caused by the U.S. people/culture by the end of the trial.

See, this is the kind of crap that you write all the time that makes it nearly impossible for me or my BFF Berkut to resist mocking you.  Zero signal, all high pitched whine noise, all the time.

My partner in all things Languish, DGerkut speaks the truth.

Stuff like that made me think for a long time that you were trolling, or somehow trying to be ironic. But now I realize that it is really how you actually think.

Which makes your love of unions all the more hilarious.

So, the media isn't obsessed with the idea that they were "radicalized"? The whole concept is a cop out. Both brothers made the conscious decision to commit mass murder and than carried it out after planning and training. That fellow terrorists may have provided the training er "radicalized them" is not an excuse for the actions of either brother. If anything it is a reason to send some drones after those that HELPED the brothers. Despite what movies and bad novels like to portray, people don't commit murder especially mass murder unless it is already in them to do so. So called "radicalization" is a red herring at best.

Are you also saying the media hasn't constantly been suggesting and hinting that the younger brother was influenced by his older brother and, therefore, not totally responsible for his actions? Another cop out by the media. If the younger brother had been under lock and key and not let outside his brother's view I could see this is a possible explanation. However, it sounds like the younger brother lead a normal life, went to school, had friends, had a job, and so forth, and could have easily called law enforcement at anytime to stop the attack. He didn't, he made a conscious choice to commit mass murder.

I am not sure, perhaps you cannot afford cable, and have missed everything that is being said.

And, I haven't even addressed the fact the media is doing their best to avoid any connection to Islam that the brothers might have had.

You have my sympathies. I didn't realize you and Habbaku had a divorce. Or, was he finally surgically removed from your ass?
