...and you know more are detected/confirmed today due to better radar, meteorology etc....

Multiple stories out of OK of women teachers acting as human shields in an attempt to save the kids under their care during that tornado.

Same thing happened at Sandy Hook. Kids were still killed tick. They needed a man there with a gun to shoot to kill.

Citing the individual heroism of female teachers responding in an emergency does not discredit my position. It only shows how you like to errect strawmen in an effort to reframe a debate you can't win.

There is no debate, there's just you flapping your lips and everyone making fun of you..

[bluetick]

You are all being duped. There is NO way IB is serious on 90% of what he says. He's obviously doing a 'Stephen Colbert' and you are all his unwitting rubes.

Wait. So you're saying he may not be a successful marriage counselor?

1965 was a big year. An F2 tornado sheared off half our house in a suburb of Knoxville...my dad heard about it on his police radio, then snatched me up at after-school and we headed home not knowing what we'd find. We turned onto our street and the first thing we didn't see was the old Baptist church on the corner - it was gone. I'll never forget the look on my dad's face as long as I live. 5:00 pm, 4/15/65.

It turned out okay, though - dad had to coax mom out from under the bed, and I got to go live with my fun cousins for half a year. But I have a sense of what those people were feeling yesterday, trying to drive back into their neighborhoods.

"1965 was a big year."

Yep, the year I was born. Very important year for the psychic evolution of this planet. It was also the year the Beatles first took LSD...

Did everybody else read this in the voice of Quint telling the story of the USS Indianapolis like I did?

[Jungle Rat]

No

I didn't, but when you posted that I went back and did it. It was a great improvement over the original...

Farewell and adue to you fair Spanish ladies, farewell and adue to you ladies of Spain
for we received our orders to sail back to Boston, ne'er more shall we see you again

Is that from Red Ships of Spain?

I can't believe you are not already incarcerated.

Jules: If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.

It appears to be attributed to some dude from the late 1700's, probably some english dude who was mad about America defeating the British, so he's whining about democracy not being a viable political system. That was over 200 years ago and now all of Europe has gone FROM dictatorship and monarchy TO democracy, while America has become the wealthiest, most powerful nation in the history of mankind. Sounds to me like that dude got it ass-backwards, which probably explains why you think it's "not debatable"...

As more and more people have no skin in the game what do they care about spending, debt, and taxes?

Pols reward them with more benefits paid for by others. At some point it doesn't become viable any more.

If the headline is true, how the hell did 7 kids drown in a school basement?

A water main break? Find it hard to believe that there was enough rain to flood a basement.

Problem around here is there just aren't many basements to seek shelter in.
