Ghost of BiB Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Seems like she's just not old enough to have established proper empathy with her fellow humans. Hopefully it's something she'll grow into. 530212[/snapback] She'll lose someone, someday. Chances are, it won't affect her too bad. Why? I kind of think the opposite. I think one develops that empathy earlier in life. If one doesn't develop an ability to relate to, to care about other people by the time they are 20 or so, it's probably not going to really happen. Patterns. Both behavior, and even neurological. As was mentioned, look at the Mom response. I pity the sap who marries her.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I pity the sap who marries her. 530215[/snapback] I don't. Just like we no longer pity the wife's coworker. Some people ultimately deserve what they get.
Arkady Renko Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Regardless of how low, insensitive, or stupid it may be, she still has every right to say it. Same for the Mom. 529658[/snapback] I didn't see anyone disputing that she could say it. The question is whether she should.
Buford T. Justice Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I pity the sap who marries her. 530215[/snapback] Add yet another question to the list to ask potential brides.... "How do you feel about the unsupervised use of living room furniture by the mentally "Dawgged"?"
CoachChuckDickerson Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Regardless of how low, insensitive, or stupid it may be, she still has every right to say it. Same for the Mom. 529658[/snapback] I still reserve the right to pour sugar in her gas tank under the cover of darkness. America, it is a beautiful country.
Ghost of BiB Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I don't. Just like we no longer pity the wife's coworker. Some people ultimately deserve what they get. 530217[/snapback] Neither do I, but I was being philosophic.

I pity the sap who marries her. 530215[/snapback] You may be right about that but I think major life events might affect the witch. I know that having kids made me much more empathetic to stories such as the barcalounger boy's tragic plight. I want to say hopefully she will develop empathy as she has children of her own but can't say honestly that I want her to reproduce.

America, it is a beautiful country. 530232[/snapback] Actually, you don't have that right. You do, however, have the right to try not to be caught doing it. I believe that's covered under "pursuit of happiness"...
OGTEleven Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 I've seen a lot of "tard" attacks right here on the wall . I agree that she has a right to write whatever she wants. I respect her for her amazing creativity. But on the other hand, I worry that she can breed. 529776[/snapback] You give her way too much credit. Even if you strip away the lack of respect for life, love and humanity and leave it entirely out of the equation, her creativity is rivaled by the average kindergartener. She's a dolt who thinks she's smart. The cruelty is merely the cherry on top of the loser sundae.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 I just want to say, as I watch Monday Night Football, that the real tragedy of this kid being suffocated by a barcolounger is that John Madden's barcolounger hasn't reached up and strangled him yet...
ieatcrayonz Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Excellent post. Without context, if somebody were to say "death by barcalounger" chances are you'd laugh your ass off. With context, it's only funny in certian situations.[e.g. "ieatcrayonz got piss drunk (yet again) and stuck his head in the barcalounger last night. His dog then jumped on the foot rest closing his head in it. Thinking it was a game, the dog became overly excited and pissed all over ieatcrayonz as he was suffocated."] 530208[/snapback] Well it was my birthday.

America, it is a beautiful country. 530232[/snapback] Actually a potato shoved up the tailpipe is pretty effective, but doesn't do as much damage. If you get it far enough out of sight it can be very hard to figure out what is wrong with the car.
The Poojer Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 ya gotta admit, "death by barcalounger" is a bit funny. What struck me as odd is why did the kid stick his head in a footrest in the middle of the night? She should be strung up though just for being mean from yesterday's Post Dispatch in St. Louis, perhaps the most ignorant and offensive person, and her mother. I post this because I feel people need to know about this. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/colu...D1?OpenDocument 529484[/snapback]

To each his own I guess. 72% of restaurants in the US have "Death by Chocolate" as one of their desserts. So she steals her material from menues. Great. What a rapier wit. For her next trick she rant about airlines losing luggage. What a hoot. If this crap is funny, humor is overrated.

inkman Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Just a quick thought. I don't get the Mom's take. If I were insensitive enough to do what her daughter did my mother would never defend my reprehensible actions. I've done plenty of stupid things in my lifetime and never did I get "it's okay honey, I love you and will support any moronic thing you do."

They are clueless about having any responsibility to their fellow citizens and think that their own little angel can do no wrong. Bad parents breed bad people.
X. Benedict Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Bad parents breed bad people. 530935[/snapback] not always true. I have have seen bad parents breed some remarkably good people. Choice and will have a little something to do with it. I see a guy everyday that left home at 14 because his parents were wretches. He is one of the most honest and moral people I have ever met.

I met a girl recently who was on the ball despite having some real morons for parents. But I've seen many more cases of the opposite, where people learn their stupidity, crassness and disregard for others right from good old mom and dad.
