There are no "good" murders. I don't think it's the president's place to talk about them, whether it's a black kid in Ferguson or three Muslims in Chapel Hill. Perhaps even more relevant to the president's concern is the 24th anniversary next week of Bob Sheldon's murder in Chapel Hill, which...

Since there were 14,827 murders in the U.S. in 2012, I guess the president needs to quit his current job to keep talking about these murders at an average rate of over 40 per day.

You could always start by recognizing that Canada has a prime minister and not a president.

I am reminded of the story of Mia Zapata... who in her own death became objectified as a platform for everything from feminism to a poster child for rape and sexual violence. Causes she had no connection with during her lifetime, and her many friends continued to point out. Didn't stop a lot of...

:lol: Because Obama hates basketball legends but loves Netanyahu.

I wish Bob Sheldon's still-unsolved murder there from 24 years ago got half of this much attention.

Or like genius atheist Steve Jobs, who decided to delay his necessary surgery for treatable pancreatic cancer by 9 months so he could dick around with eating nothing but apples and fruit smoothies. And it killed him.

Except this time we seem to be blaming the media for not panicking enough. Dude, some atheists are like anti-vaxxers. They think their superior intellect over conventional beliefs somehow makes them special and thus their egotistical fantasies save them from any harm.

OK, I get it. In which case, RUS is the nutjob. But we already knew that. :D

Did anyone believe there was an "athiest exceptionalism" to begin with? That's nuts to begin with. Atheism is a creation of man's own thoughts and beliefs, just like any other religion. It's subject to the exact same human frailties and shortcomings as anything else. And thus it's, IMO, rather...

I'm a bit dubious on this one. The officials are saying the murders stemmed from a local neighbor dispute over parking. That sounds trivial and mundane, but with nut-jobs that's not uncommon. We have people in my neighborhood in SF who practically come to blows over parking spots. What I raise...
