“I could care less what happens to Commies.”

I didn’t mean to imply otherwise, just commenting on it.

From a tree in Berkeley to a WAR. Boy, if I were going to a battle zone, I would want to be well-trained and well-armed. This is just ‘playing war’ with the Big Guys. Real dumb. Too bad.

Now I come to find out that this Tristan Anderson fellow was all over the map in his radical leftism: A.N.S.W.E.R. protestor, 'human shield' in Iraq, tree-sitter who threw his own feces at cops, and most annoying to me: A hostile San Francisco 'Critical Mass' bike-riding lunatic. I hate those guys from the years I spent in San Francisco. Just hate them.

I've always hoped for one of those 'Critical Mass' jerks to go underneath a steamroller, but I suppose that I will have to settle for this schmuck getting a cue ball fired through his brain by an Israeli soldier.

I doubt very highly that this idiot will survive his wound, but if there is one sane member of his family that is grieving for their wild-eyed misbegotten man-boy Tristan, then I wish them all the best.

Tristan parents will have to deal with this.
He was a angry young man with no purpose in life except to complain...
So be it...

I question whenther the first responders at this scene are ATLS certified. It looked at times like they were trying to wring his neck. If he had a cervical fracture, he is paralyzed now with all of that neck twisting.

Folks who can't accomplish anything themselves, spend their life bitching about folks who can.

It take very little effort or ability to bitch.

"Just hate them."

Dittos!!!

I'm a long ways from SFO, but I also despise that they've forced CalTrans to erect signs all along the narrow mountainous highways throughout the "Golden Chain" of state route 49 that show an outline of a bicycle over the command... "Share The Road."

There are no bike lanes on these roads and truck drivers and gas tax and use tax paying citizens pulling RV's or other wide vehicles are forced to put oncoming traffic at risk everytime they come around a curve and have to cross the centerline to avoid squashing one of these inconsiderate bastards!!!

Yes! That's how I really feel about it!!!

I ain’t no brain surgeon,but you have a point...

The executive functions of the frontal lobes involve the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, to choose between good and bad actions (or better and best), override and suppress unacceptable social responses, and determine similarities and differences between things or events.Therefore, it is involved in higher mental functions.

The frontal lobes also play an important part in retaining longer term memories which are not task-based. These are often memories associated with emotions derived from input from the brain’s limbic system. The frontal lobe modifies those emotions to generally fit socially acceptable norms.
