You stated that you didn't want teenage girls blowing peoples heads off. Just wondered if you'd make an exception to your rule.

Common sense bump.

Just setting you straight, I heard a similar tale on FOX tonight. Honey.

Lemme see. Someone with bullet wounds, beaten and having 2 leg bones and one arm bone broken, no food for a week, and God knows what else is whimpering and crying? Sheesh. What a wuss!
Some people sure have a high opinion of themselves.

I fear Shoshanna may be gone...like the others. I pray I'm wrong. They kept this girl alive in my view for obvious reasons..sadly.
I do hope her rescuers got all of her tormenters.

Well stated. Bravo. Thank God she's alive and soon to be well and CURSE the ignaramous that allowed her to be in that position.
I'm sure she will be paraded all around so little girls all over America can aspire to be next.

Apes was banned once for being obnoxious. It's his trademark. Try to ignore him.
To: wardaddy
I hope for all their recoveries, but I fear things may bode as well for the others.

My heroes are the guys fighting in the front lines, thank you very much. My heroes are the guys who plucked Private Lynch out of the hospital. My hero isn't the helpless victim.

Better be more than a Bronze Star... In Gulf War I they gave out Bronze Stars for just about anything. Our Battalion Commander's secretary got one. In a REMF unit to boot!Wow. One of the guys on my dad's medical team on Iwo Jima was killed in action after having refused evac when he was shot in the arm. He got a posthumous Bronze Star. I guess times have changed.

You just can't stand it that she "out butches" you. Buy yourself some boxers you'll feel much better.
To: ApesForEvolution
Hi, Apes. How long were you banned for?
To: seeker41
You're kind of funny in your own, little, way...

To: blastbaby
you doubted I was a female until I used the term "sweetie"?
lol
now that's funny. I said I was a female many posts ago. But I agree, when us gals start using sarcastic terms of endearment, you know what gender we are for sure. :-D
