I know it's too much to ask for these kinds of creeps to show even the barest shred of human decency, but is it also beyond them do to even the most basic bit of fact checking? Moore is in Cleveland County. Cleveland County is one of the bluest counties in Oklahoma.

I really don't get the assault rifle = swimming pool analogy that I've been seeing all over the place lately.
Have there been some exciting new developments in the world of backyard pools that I am unaware of? Have swimming pool manufacturers released new pools with fully automatic high capacity drowning features? And is the most popular of these pools - what's it called, the DrownMaster-47? - being sold to criminals with a history of pool related crime due to a lack of background checks at Pool Shows? Are people using DM-47s to commit mass murder in typically swimming pool free places like elementary schools and movie theaters? Does roughly 90% of the population support stricter pool control regulation? Is the National Pool Association exerting pressure on elected officials to prevent such legislation?
I just don't see the parallel.

MiscKitty commented on SL Letter of the Day: I'm Out.
@ 70 - Third sentence of his letter:
"I had exclaimed the word when a fellow partygoer struck the top of my friend's beer bottle with HERS* so that my friend's beer would overflow."
*Emphasis added.

This reminded me of something I came across on the internet a while ago:
Instead of deriving "bad words" from sex (or sex organs as the case may be), we should derive them from bad music: NICKLEBACK! That hurt like a Katy Perry single!
For the LW: Dude, don't be such a Brad Paisley. Not cool.

@ 9 - That's heartbreaking.
There's a book called The Purity Myth by Jessica Valenti that discusses the effects on young women of our cultural obsession with abstinence and virginity. It ought to be required reading for anyone who advocates for or teaches abstinence only sex ed.

MiscKitty commented on I Shouldn't Do This....
@ 12 - I still can't figure out how anyone with a cock who enjoys having it sucked (or hopes to some day have it sucked) could possibly think that it's a good idea to use the term "cocksucker" as an insult. Seems counterproductive to me.

@ 51 - I loled at "Jebus." =D
I'll admit I haven't devoted too terribly much time to looking for @40's source, either. I didn't look at all until your post made me wonder if anti-Hispanic hate crimes were being counted as "anti-white" hate crimes. I'd wager that how they are counted varies. And I have a sneaking suspicion that in some cases anti-Hispanic crimes are counted as "anti-white" crimes in order to offer the largest possible number of "anti-white" crimes. But that could just be me being cynical.
Regardless! I think we know one thing for certain: @ 40's interpretation of his numbers deserves a video clip!

@ 48 - It's all good.
And yeah, no kidding. 63% vs 78% is a huge difference! I didn't even consider using the numbers for only non-Hispanic whites. That's a good catch. =)
The number of Muslims we are assuming is quite different as well. Do you mind if I ask where you came across the 1.8% estimate? (I ask because that's the number offered in a 2011 census of the UK.) 1.8% would put the estimate from your source at around 5.8 million Muslims as opposed to the 2.75 million estimate I used from PEW but my PEW estimate was an old one. The most recent PEW number I've found so far was "less than 1%" in 2011.
Also, your Hispanic whites vs non-Hispanic whites distinction has left me wondering: do you suppose Hispanic whites were included in @40's number of victims of "anti-white" hate crimes...? He didn't cite his source and I haven't found anything to corroborate his numbers yet.

@ 44 - Found an online calculator that will do the math.

You'd want the bottom option (% change when ___ becomes ___) in this case. It even shows and explains its work! =D

@ 44 - That's a comma, not a decimal point. Two thousand seven hundred and seventy seven.
