Well, many those who would be at a midnight showing of new Batman would not be typical sample of America. No job on Friday morning etc.

It looks like only he has children. The first mention is of his “two children from a previous relationship,” and then later we learn that actually, he’s married and has two children. His date isn’t identified as having children.

Thanks. I did not read that carefully, or perhaps I would not have referred to an ongoing marriage as “a previous relationship.”

It was poorly written. Most of us think of currently being married as ... well, currently being married, but if they were going to mention the children, something had to be said to indicate that his present girlfriend wasn’t their mother.

Ah, the confusion of modern life ... and of course, when one is dead, all “relationships” become “previous,” so to speak.

And that said, saving the life of an innocent woman, whether it was his girlfriend or a total stranger, was the right thing to do.

I doubt the man with the rings in his lips was a Republican voter.

I know numerous people with these piercing and they are very conservative. A friend of the family has a son in the US Army-4-5 tours so far and he is covered in head to toe tat's and is the nicest guy in the world and would literally give the shirt of his back if you needed it.

I stopped judging people because you can't tell unless you talk with them.

*** Man, I feel for you folks up there. ***

Thanks and yep, it pretty much sucks.
That is, unless we decide to commit a felony in order to protect ourselves when 'in the jungle'. Oh. Wait. That sucks too.

Never mind ;-)
