[I waited 45 seconds and actually posted something substantial--Ed.]
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. At least four people were shot outside of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, but it was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away, authorities said.
**something against Christians.**
makes me wonder if it is something against “infidels” — Religion of peace in action?
I also hear that an IED was found in a vehicle, and that the multiple gunmen in Colorado Springs wore bullet proof vests.
Why, oh why, is one of the keywords for this thread is : goldencompasskiller ?
The reporting is atrocious, they have our attention, we should get theirs and let them know they suck
I don’t know all the acronyms but ROP IS on FR quite regularly, and almost as common as LOL. Also, IED is everywhere; even the newspapers regularly use that acronym. Nobody should criticize someone if they don’t know though. Just my 2 cents.
WOT did you say? ;)
That's what I thought/think too.
YAY! You’ve got it! lol
I cant believe I am watching this...
But I cant look away! LoL
Umm, I didn't word it correctly but I did mean it tongue- in- cheek. Early reports in the news meadia on that day said, "we are being told that the hstage-taker has an IED" when, of course, it was flares.
Maybe IED is PC talk ?...Bomb sounds too bad...;0)
I’m fine with acronyms, as long as I’m “in the flow” with language and am able to keep up with the jargon.
But when you’re not around a place, or even on particular threads too often, you don’t know the shortcut language or all the acronyms involved concerning that type of information.
It’s natural for people to ask what something means, as newbies are prone to ask what does “ping” or “bttt” mean?
But those are on just about every thread. I can’t count the number of times newbies have asked what that JARGON means.
AFAIK everyone knows what ROP means.
IMHO.
FNC’s news babe is on the edge of crying on live TV......
I didn’t mean to offend. I was just shocked. That’s all.
**goldencompasskiller **
Golden Compass movie is anti Christian in which the children eventually kill God.
Anti-Narnia tales.
He seemed pretty calm actually. Stated they wound just have to lance his arm to get the pellet out and he didn't see a shotgun so he couldn't understand how he had a pellet in his arm..
What’s JARGON? ;-)
Interesting. You'd think that would be kinda important to know, doncha???
haaaaaaa
