(Where I work we have gummy bears as an extra on the menu, and when younger kids come in I tend to fill a little dish with bears from the container and offer it to them while their guardians decide what to order. The other day, I offer some to a family with dad, mum, and three kids. When I offered the gummy bears to the kids, they recoiled and looked at their mum.)
Mother: “Are there blue gummy bears in there?”
Me: *I look at the container in my hand* “Yes, there are.”
(She nods ‘yes’ to her kids, who grab all the gummy bears from the container except the blue ones. I open my mouth to joke about them leaving the blue ones when the mother smacks the container out of my hand, shattering the dish on the floor and spilling bears everywhere. Very calmly she steps forward and informs me
Mother: “Blue food is unnatural and the Devil’s work.”
(Stunned, I stare at her while she calmly fills her order and her kids don’t even blink. No further comments are made other than
Mother: “You should wear gloves while cleaning this up, dear.”

what part of prove me wrong did you not understand? I understand the part that he doesn't have to. not only does he not HAVE to, he can't.

You KNOW this? How? Did Rush tell you or was it God?

Yeah, you're really lousy at connecting the dots. The kid's father is an anti-American muslim activist, and he just so happened to get a White House invitation almost instantaneously when the story broke. Here's what I know happened: this was a mission carried out by an islamic extremist the purpose of which is a dry-run for future attacks on American schools-- probably a coordinated attack on multiple schools throughout the country. Americans are sound asleep. The situation is orders of magnitude worse than September 10, 2001. you KNOW nothing of the kind. you SUSPECT that. all i ask is for you to prove it. not much to ask, is it? i mean, after all, it is a rather serious charge. If anyone asks, you didn't get this from me. agent://data.fbi.gov/files/terrorism/7399502_Ahmed_Mohamed/

Saying that he wasn't doing something, and it's plausible, is not the same as claiming to be something your obviously not. IMHO of course.

IMHO of course. you misunderstood me. you said that Paul proved that i was wrong. his proof consisted of him saying that he "knew" i was wrong. that is not proof, D23. nothing i have heard so far definitively contradicts what i suggested happened.
