You need to cut him a little slack, his kid did get murdered, you can't expect a logical response...

(of course he's incorrect)

Negative on the cutting slack. Rational people don't trade rational thoughts for emotion driven thoughts because of a tragedy.

I disagree, I've seen completely rational people completely destroyed by tragedy... IMO grief leads to irrationality. Some people never recover.
See sandy Sheehan, she had a kid and family who were patriotic, believed in the cause. Went off the deep end, husband divorced her because of her post death antics. Grief destroyed her... It does funny thing...

I've seen it happen. I hope none of us experience it.

Cosby has a Doctorate in Education and I always viewed him as having more sense than to fall for a "Excuse the Human behavior and blame the gun" argument. The gun had nothing to do with this fight as it was between two males who had the red ass for each other. Worse, though, all of the facts aren't in yet, there has been shameful manipulation of the facts and the regular rabble rousing crew is on site and stirring sxit up. You'd think Cosby could recognize that and recommend calm until all of the facts are in.

COSBY..........WAIT TO CONDEMN UNTIL YOU KNOW THE FACTS!

Sorry, I don't cut the man any slack because of his murdered kid. Intelligent people are supposed to see through obvious manipulation of the facts by the media and our Jessie Jackson crew.

Incidentally, I've been clean and sober for 30 years but know first hand what chemical abuse can do to a person. I was appalled to see Jessie Jackson's face. The man looks like an old wino and he needs some help!

We're saying the same thing, only different <'course my way is more gooder ;-)>

Yes, people can change for a variety of reasons. The examples you give are of people no longer using rational thought.

Bill says guns are fine, as long as the stay at home. I wonder - if his son had been carrying on that day and justifiably eliminated the threat, would Bill's opinion be different now?

Well, then you need to keep her in the kitchen.

Seein' as how it took 3 days to respond, I don't think the kitchen is where she's been

Well......

Actually, I leave work at 10:30 every Friday morning & don't normally touch a computer until I come back to work Monday at 06:30.
