[ZombieHorde]

32. I have some chamomile tea steeping right now. nt

[unblock]

2. now i know where my shift and caps lock keys went!

[MADem]

3. Ewwwww. Such drama! Over bathroom reading like Time Magazine, no less! nt

[yardwork]

4. Not reading Time magazine is a good idea. In fact, most of the media is useless. Good observation.

[southernyankeebelle]

5. Who is Tommy Jordan? I've never heard of him.

[TheWraith]

6. The guy who shot up his daughter's laptop.

Because she complained about her life to her friends on Facebook.

[southernyankeebelle]

10. Oh I read that. Sorry I didn't think he was so special.

[TheWraith]

14. Personally, I think he's a psycho.

But some people appear to think he's the best thing since sliced bread. Despite being a big Ron Paul supporter. (Shocker! :sarcasm

[pnwmom]

26. He was seething; appeared just on the edge of exploding. I saw Dr. Phil on Today this morning,

and he made some good points.

For example, he said something like: Yeah, the girl was mouthy. Wonder where that came from?
Yeah, the girl didn't think before she acted. Wonder where that came from?

And he said that the girl had a 15 year old brain and that the dad had descended to her level.

He also pointed out that the father had boxed himself in now. What was he going to do the next time she misbehaved? "Blow up the car?"

And he said that publicly humiliating a child was a poor method of discipline. Duh. But apparently lots of people don't have a problem with that!

[southernyankeebelle]

38. I don't get all the attention he is getting. Goodness he destroyed his kid laptop. So what is so

about that? He didn't have to do that. All he had to do was take it from her. To me it makes me wonder if he does this kind of stuff what is he doing out of the lime light.

[Lifelong Protester]

7. I am equally clueless. Nice to meet ya!

[southernyankeebelle]

13. Pleasure is all mine. I did read the article in the Daily Mail but I didn't think he was special.

[Lifelong Protester]

22. Not nearly special enough for all caps?

(That's just my guess...)

[southernyankeebelle]

36. I think when they use all CAPS that expresses angry. LOL

[jberryhill]

15. Some guy who gets upset at people ranting on the Internet

Hence you can understand the OP's dismay.

He's lost two laptops already.

[Nye Bevan]

8. FUCK SEMI-COHERENT CRYPTIC ALL-CAPS OPs (NT)

[fascisthunter]

9. or those that make an issue of it

[Nye Bevan]

18. or those that make an issue of people making an issue of it

[cherokeeprogressive]

24. Here's me watching you watch me watch you and vice versa. n/t

[cwydro]

34. Lol!

This thread has real potential...

[jberryhill]

11. Who is Tommy Jordan?

And have you ever thought about not reading Time?

I gave it up in the late 80's.

[steve2470]

12. Money. Controversy. Readers. Higher Profits.

End of story.

[RKP5637]

16. Yep, that's their recipe ad nauseum. We fortunately have the Internet. n/t

[Fla_Democrat]

17. There's a Dr. Buddy Rydell for you on line 1.

You may want to take that call.

[msongs]

Thank you XD

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. ...

[PDJane]

27. On the other hand,

we now know why his daughter was complaining about her home life.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. They're just gearing up to plug the book about "How Rage-Drunk Gun Dads Can Save America"

[LadyHawkAZ]

29. Mmhmm... Tommy Jordan's "Raisin Up Yer Dotter

The .45 Way: Teachin' Em Young To Act Like Wimmens" ~ contains tips on proper coffee brewin', makin' her man a sammich and things you can and cannot shoot to avoid attracting the cops. First 100 buyers get a free box of bullets. Gun not included.

[cwydro]

35. To be fair to the man...

there is nothing in his rant that indicates he wants to teach her to "act like wimmens."

He spoke about respect for her parents and for the "cleaning lady".

I don't know anyone here in NC that says "wimmens".

[Rex]

31. ZZZZzzzzzzzz

Huh what!? What did I miss?

[steve2470]

33. Why Tommy Jordan just might be the smartest parent in America
