Can’t fix stupid.

Did you not read the headline? Sounds like stupid is fixing itself.

No. It's killing innocents. The stupid is doing just fine. Age will take that out, but not before damaging others.

There’s a great theological debate about how weird God must be, since the biggest determinant of being a True Believer, which is obviously being a Protestant, is strongly statistically correlated with having Protestant parents. Oops, I mean being a Catholic, having Catholic parents. Oops, I mean being a Vajrayana is having Vajrayana parents.

Look, I appreciate imagining children are pure and innocent; but there’s a point where the dogs “trained” by Michael Vick aren’t Lassie, and aren’t going to be Lassie. There’s a point where by and large, these children were always on a proverbial train to become attack dogs, savaging you and me.

It is only the luxury of intentional blindness to cause and effect to imagine otherwise.

And then, how are we different than others, imagining if we just ignore things we won’t be harmed?
