God should just wipe the slate and start over

Hmmm. The difference between Allah and Yahweh seems to mostly be in delegation.

Allah commands his followers to commit the atrocities Yahweh reserves for himself.

This country is coming apart at the seams.

Well, it IS NYC after all.........

We need background checks for popcorn purchases. The rate we are going, we will have murder by popcorn next. Then we will have limits on how many kernels to a bag.

[blueplum]

well, if a 2yo is taken to the theatre, and that 2yo sees everyone sitting around with popcorn and her mommy refused to buy popcorn for the child, that 2yo is going to complain. And then the mommy is supposed to either get her some popcorn or a substitute, or take her home. Before crackheads dump popcorn on her child.

Why the HELL do you take a TODDLER to a movie like this?? STUPID!!! TODDLERS TALK!!

[Ann Archy]

True, but would it have hurt if the witch had simply offered the child the popcorn in exchange for shutting up rather than dump it on her?

Seriously?? You want a FILTHY FINGERED 2 year old grabbing into your POPCORN??? Not me...YUK!

[lastchance]

Not from a stranger. Never from a stranger.

I’m glad to hear all other crimes were solved in that municipality that they were able to unravel this trivial case.

Oh, who am I kidding, probably 3 people suffered great bodily harm who got away during this same period while they solved the popcorn bandit.

[Kozak]

Yeah. No hero’s here.
An innocent child suffers because of all the adults around her.

We walked out of a House of Pancakes one time after apologizing profusely to the waiter for our not quite 2 year olds behavior. I think she was 4 or 5 before we attempted to take her anywhere that wasn’t specifically for kids again.

No it isn't; it's LONG ISLAND!

Take your stupid NYC "HATE" and shove it where the sun don't shine and learn some geography!

[Do_Tar]

It appears that all the “facts” of this story were supplied by the mother of the 2 yr. old. Other witnesses told a little different story.

[Vigilanteman]

Some years ago, I attended a church service in the south where a little boy, maybe four or five years old was acting up. The father evidently believed in old fashioned parenting because, next thing you know, he was walking out with the little fellow under one arm.

The little guy shouted out "Y'all pray for me now!" Preacher had to stop the sermon until the laughter died down.

[lastchance]

The story had me missing the days of ushers.

[lastchance]

I noticed that too. Longk Oisland is not NYC. It is my understanding you get a lot spoiled brats of all ages out there.

[nopardons]

Me too and when parents and children were well behaved and when nobody brought a 2 year old to the movies.

[nopardons]

Your stab at a phony Long Island accent missed the mark. LOL

Levittown is hardly a place where the kids are "spolied brats". It began as lower middle to a bit higher middle class, and hasn't changed all THAT much, though the prices have gone way up.

Yaaaaay!!

My entire family loves NYC——my Asian DIL especially loves the Chinatown in Queens.
