Yes I do. You have a problem accepting that people have flaws. 

I am quite sure if I was in your day to day life living with you in the same house, or even simply hanging out with your family and friends, pretty sure you have flaws too.

We can agree on that, at least - I'm a DEEPLY flawed person.

One thing about the quote in this article I always take issue with, is when people say "senseless". Um no, it makes perfect sense when you hand firearms out like candy things like this happen unfortunately.

So, in this morning's news, there's some speculation that she may have been shot by a hunter.

Now, I don't know how things work in Iowa, but out here, "hunters" who "hunt" at 2:30am are rightfully called "poachers".

Odd.

Wikipedia has a very complete list of school shootings going back to the 19th century....

BUT SOMEHOW ---


they don' t seem to have anything at all listed for 1962.

(You said it was the year before Kennedy got shot)


Now WHY do we suppose that is?????

GS didn't say it happened at the school. You do realize that school buses exist at places other than schools, right?

And, of course, he was happy with a negative finding, because he's more interesting in attacking me than having to deal with reality. However, each and every event of like nature is not recorded in Wikipedia.

Wait...you're claiming that there are mistakes and omissions in Wikipedia?  HERETIC!!  Additionally, he seems to have missed (or ignored) the disclaimer at the beginning of the article:
