@Altria

Kato ran them over with a truck first. I would say he was the exception to the rule.

The "fairness doctrine" is, of course, nonsense, and the NYT is under no leagal obligation to publish the piece. But, it is irresponisible not to do so considering their position (or perhaps, now, apiriation) as the "paper of record". The consequences will come in the correct form, that is a…

Whether the allegation is true or not, its clear he has serious family issues.

To answer my own question (and to echo the last poster, who beat me to it):

Cowardice. The stabbers never go after healthy, mature males. They always target young girls, children, or the elderly. Mainly young girls. Because they can't fight back.

These men are so small that, even with…

What's the SDF going to do when it comes under attack? It can't possibly be expecting the UN Peacekeepers to protect it? Look how well they have done for the Sudanese....

I think the concept of "First Lady" needs to die out. (The possiblilty of a female president being elected in the near future, and the absurd idea of a "first Gentleman" has already started the process.) She wasn't elected, she doesn't hold office, and she has no official position or…

A remarkably poor decision by the NYT. Regardless of the "quality" of the piece, the NYT does itself a tremendous disservice (a mortal blow to it's already tattered reputation for objectivity) while insulting the Republican candidate for the Presidency of the United States. It is common practice to reject articles…

"There is difference between shoot to kill and shoot to stop an attacker. NO?"

Perhaps. I haven't fired a gun, so I can't tell you how easy it is. My guess would be that a professional would be able to do so, but not in every circumstance. (take "disabling" someone…
