100%. And it's bc it sounds easier and that's what the country has become. The root cause is always harder to figure out and fix so we don't even try.

Wait a minute.....
In all seriousness, we are ultimately a country with a core value of libertarianism (which is of course also in competition with other core values). And so, in our infrastructure and rule sets, we have a certain presumption that people can, or might, engage in conduct that can be 'bad' or 'harmful' to themselves or others from time to time.
In the really really big picture, I suspect you and I would agree that the scales are probably unduly weighted toward it these days, and that the pendulum needs to swing back a bit to collective values.
A certain senior citizen poster bought some discount hokas online on a deal clearly too good to be true. Despite dozens of posters telling him he got scammed, his response continued to be, "we'll see". The denialism was quite entertaining.
1. I thought it was pretty well known they lived in separate homes, thus making it obvious they were separated
Agree - mostly -
Ex 1 - I read about it because it was reported by several outlets. Not terribly relevant but okay.
His assassin may not even have known but I doubt it was part of his decision to commit murder.
Ex 2 - the dead man had at least two disciplinary actions for DUI while active military but also had commendations for good behavior over the time of his service. He’s been married three times, was taken to court for back child support by his first wife, had a restraining order taken out by the third wife, and had various jobs with accounting and consulting firms - one of which was DeLoitte, who paid him about $125,000 a year. Not rich but could get by in Texas.
He slid into darkness and began exhibiting concerning behaviors that seem to reflect a pattern of mental health issues that we have seen before. And yes, lots of info will come out. As the FBI just reiterated in the latest news conference it’s only been 24 hours.
And his mosque.
I found something called Google.com that's a pretty solid resource for stuff like this.
No doubt, but given the crowd around here, I can be a little circumspect about what unknown search terms I throw into Google...
So the only part of the Bible you acknowledge are the four gospels?
Want to point out this fake news post right here. Dude was active service plain white cracker from Colorado Springs.
I'm going to go move snow. If the same shit is being posted when I come back.....well...there will....be something to pay
Livelsberger spent 18 of his 19-year Army career with the Special Forces, according to his Linkedin profile. He is believed to have joined the Green Berets as a communicaton’s specialist in January 2006, before becoming an operations manager and team sergeant in February 2023.
I can't believe a Green Beret would make such a shitty homemade bomb.
I wouldn't know. I'm in the 4th quarter of life and have never met a homosexual IRL, only read about them on HORT or in movies and TV. They're kind of like Bigfoot or the chupacabra as far as I'm concerned...
Did the Hawks fans implicate all Cyclones when they attacked our band in Ames?
The Cy-Hawk rivalry game between Iowa and Iowa State could be in jeopardy after University of Iowa president Bruce Harreld questioned whether it should be played in the future in an interview with the school newspaper, the Daily Iowan.
His comments came in the wake of members of the Hawkeye marching band saying they were verbally, physically and sexually harassed at the Sept. 14 game in Ames, Iowa.
"I'm not convinced at all that we should play this game again -- here or there or anywhere -- unless we can protect our fans, our band, and of course our athletes," Harreld told the paper on Monday, adding that he expected to be able "to work through this."
"If for some reason one party or the other doesn't come to the table," he told the paper, "then no, why would we?"

Biden was wrong and was obviously pandering.
Do you believe Haitians eating dogs and cats are an existential threat?
Wait, for reals?
Agreed. But not the alluh akbar type the poster suggested. Has to be suicide in a blaze of glory.
Maybe don’t have the FBI wasting millions of dollars and man hours raiding Melania Trump‘s panty drawer for political gain and focus on actual threats and crime. This all changes on J20.
Alright, more snow than I expected. Can't stop coughing. Has anyone in the room decided to be an adult? Raise your hands.
We Methodists might, as long as we can do it within the allotted 60 minutes.
No shit. I can't stop wheezing/coughing now. But at least I'm not the asshole neighbor that doesn't have his sidewalks clean and drive way is 3 wide.
White as Wonder Bread Active duty Green Beret/Special Forces Matthew Livelsberger was an Islamic jihadist? What dark corner of the internet/your arse did you pull that from?
You've got to be joking.
Yeah, we got more than the 2 inches forecasted.
First time I have fun snowblower this season
To me this is actually the deflection.
In a thread about terrorism it seems pretty relevant what the President and the FBI think is the greatest terrorist threat.
It was not just idle campaign rhetoric either when you have the FBI opening case files on parents who attend school board meetings and other benign targets.
One of the things i hated about methodist worship was how, as is often the case in behavioral/statistical matters, the maximum became the minimum.
I do love the concept of the Catholic "speed mass"; before I was confirmed and would ask for a blessing when others were receiving communion, our wonderfully brief monsignor would wave his hand at me and say simply "ok, you're good".
