They were unable to prevent the bombing.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

They were unable to prevent the bombing. How can you stop someone from doing such a thing in a open venue? The bombs where in sports bags. People everywhere.Unless you search every person and bag you will not be able to stop such a thing. This is not a reflection of the current administration. "You were not there for the beginning.

Now that is just assinine.
How does not preventing this make them ineffective?Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

And that is likely part of the intended message.

Okay, I understand that you feel that way.
But if the message is, "Look, the government cannot and will not protect you." then it points out that government is ineffective to protect you.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

"Look, the government cannot and will not protect you." then it points out that government is ineffective to protect you. I dont know if this makes sense. Sound kinda wishy washy. If the message was I cannot make a decent pastry does that mean I am ineffective to make a decent pastry? I think the wording should be the government is unable to protect it's citizens from violence if by doing so means we must relinquish our freedom."You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative" William S. Burroughs

I just wish the mediots could all stand together and make a pact to never mention the perpetrator's name or names. Ever. They should be expunged from any possible notoriety.

But that is not the message. That is something you've made up.

But you don't know that. So far no one knows what the message or purpose was or even if there was a message.
The point is that the person or persons that committed these acts may not be "disturbed" (what ever that means) and could be foreign or domestic. But once we learn if there is a message or what the reasons were, we need to look and see if there are perhaps changes we need to make in our behavior as a nation and as a culture.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

But you don't know that. Ah, but I am not the one making a claim. You made a positive speculation based on nothing whatsoever, then further tried to make an argument out of it.
So far no one knows what the message or purpose was or even if there was a message. Then why are you saying "if the message was...." when you admit here that no one has any idea?
The point is that the person or persons that committed these acts may not be "disturbed" (what ever that means) and could be foreign or domestic. Thank you captain obvious. We can also deduce that whoever did this must be a human being, may or may not be a male and may or may not be caucasian.
But once we learn if there is a message or what the reasons were, . And until that time, don't you think it best to not speculate? otherwise, we end up with victims being blamed just because they have brown skin and appear to be of Arabic decent.
we need to look and see if there are perhaps changes we need to make in our behavior as a nation and as a culture. Uh, no? Why should you or I change our culture because someone blew some shit up?

Let me ask if you understand what placing the term "if" in a sentence implies?
Uh, no? Why should you or I change our culture because someone blew some shit up? If I had said that you might even have a point, however I did not say or even imply any such thing.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Let me ask if you understand what placing the term "if" in a sentence implies? Why even bring it up? Why enter it it into discussion? "If the moon were made of cheese, we could mine it for gold" "If China really wanted to go to war, they could nuke us" What purpose does mindless speculation serve?
If I had said that you might even have a point, however I did not say or even imply any such thing. You said exactly that. It's right there, right above my message, not 3 pages back, so you should have no problem finding it and no excuse.
