I could care less if second hand smoke causes any kind of disease. Cigarette smoke smells terrible, unless of course your addicted to it.
Just yesterday morning I was enjoying nice peaceful moment in a park under a cherry tree. Some fool sits on a bench upwind and lights up. Ruined everything. Certainly I'm not advocating laws against smoking in public, but smokers gotta know that they aren't completely innocent, they are annoying to many people, just like those that yack on their cell phones next to you on the train.
And you smokers just gotta accept that if you walk around annoying people, there's gonna be some response. Some people are going to annoy you right back. You guys stink, literally.

I have no envy for Laszlo. I wouldn't like a wife or girlfriend (despite her beauty or riches) who wold make public all (or some) of our relationship problems, even in a lighthearted way, for fame and profit.
But that's just me. If they're enjoying it, then good for them.

You think the posters are bad, wait till this dude recovers (hopefully), and feels the wrath from the mother of the little girl he "let die."
the future ain't bright for this poor family. So sad.

Maybe and coming here late, and no offense to fishy, but everything fishy mentioned (except the reason for grandma leaving) is stated in the article above. It is clear from the article that the dad was home with two kids, most likely all sleeping. I see absolutely no problem with grandma heading out with dad home asleep with the kids. (unless grandma set the place on fire before she left.)
Otherwise this is just another tragic accident. Maybe this dude had a smoke before heading off to sleep, but it's not like that would be a first.
Who knows what caused the fire. Maybe mom left something on the stove, or whatever. Three kids, two three adults, all with different schedules, can get pretty hard to keep everything in order.
Hope they recover.
OH, and JT, hows about saying "the deceased" instead of "the dead girl" that would make this site sound less like a gossip rag.
The only odd thing is that the dude is pretty young to have a

Despite all the videos online with seemingly inappropriate use of tasers, they'd have been just the ticket in this situation. Much safer than those big Edo-period sticks they are using in the pic.

How about this scenario: guys warehouse burns down. He calls the cops. Cop shows up, doesn't do any investigation, or asks any questions, just starts snapping photos with is cell phone camera. To somebody that doesn't know the police have been issued phones just for this purpose, it could seem like the cop was just goofing off. I can understand his frustration.
If the cop showed up, explained that he was going to be taking photos for evidence, and took the guys statement, this might not have happened.
At any rate, cops aren't arson investigators. There job is to take statements, rope off the area, and let the investigators do their job.

Foolish. The bigger deal they make out of this, the bigger deal the anti whaling ecotards will work themselves up into a froth.

I was thinking the same thing. And they don't mind too much about taking out a few friendlies in the process. If this was any way Islam related, it was a foolish move. Tehran doesn't need Moscow as an enemy. Now now, not ever.

From an anthropological perspective, this isn't so uncommon. Male killing the offspring of his rival. It actually gives the stand in (the guilty 19 y/o) gene's a better chance, assuming he got her pregnant again. (Which he likely would have had it not been for the police) So this really is Darwin in action. The guy who left the girl with his kid, is actually the holder of the weak genes, which have been eliminated from the pool.
For those that will complain that human instincts like the above, (which have been operating for hundreds of thousands of years), have no place in modern society, this is what you get when kids slip through the cracks like these two likely have.
All they have go on is their survival instincts, and nothing else. In that respect they are very much like prehistorical humans.

Way to avoid responsibility. Something tells me this woman wasn't the best mother in the world.
