I wonder then, if there is irony in the naming of the lead character of the Showtime series “Dexter,” since he is a “star chamber” serial killer, who murders those who have committed heinous acts against society and gotten away with it.
Anyone else watch this show? It’s an intriguing pscyhological dilemma – urging on an individual to break society’s strongest “rule.”

Thought you were talking about the cartoon Dexter. Then oh yeah. He isn’t a serial murderer and quite sweet really.

As the West sits and debates, questions, etc., the Jihad is upon us.

From the incident in Florida, to the streets of London, France, and the United States, it seems that we better honestly be prepared.
I am truly starting to wonder if I can still depend on my Government to protect me.

I actually laughed out loud.

Completely buried in the MSM.

People would have gone nuts after the Ft Hood killings, which is why the Obamamedia buried it.

@ buzzsawmonkey:
This is something that I have struggled with in raising the kids.
To take but one example of many, we have one TV in the house. If it weren’t for sports, we wouldn’t even have that. To say that we restrict the kids’ TV viewing would be putting it mildly. Basically they are TV-free before age 13 or so. Then they go to high school and the poor freaks have no idea what the kids are talking about.
One computer for the kids in a common room. No I-pods!
I won’t even mention the old-fashioned, Euro-centric education they get at home (K-8) and the cultural disconnect that produces.
I’m telling you, they are being raised by wolves!
In all seriousness, it is one thing to be a freak yourself. It is much more difficult to raise a kid the way you think best and know that there will be a price they will have to pay.

This is true. Its a hard thing to balance. I homeschooled three of mine and spent a couple years homeschooling the grandchildren…and they are a little out of the stream when they hit school. I can’t help but think they do ok though. Better to be a thinking being even if it hurts.

I never understood people who start fights or enjoy beating up on people. That’s why the few times I have been assaulted I have either crushed nuts, bruised hearts and kidneys, or smashed throats.
To hell with boxing or trying to impress people…..right!

Hey! Deride thee not the sweet science.
With the exception of the nuts all those targets are common in a boxing match. In a street fight all’s fair. Unconsciousness is the most disabling injury in a fight. The quickest delivery of that injury comes from a straight right (or sinister left).
Its all about training and willingness, whatever the discipline.
And as my uncle the state champ welterweight said;
“All other things being equal, there is no match for size.”
