One - Darwinism. (Poor kid though)

What was even more bizarre to me was they news then published an update saying the 2 year old was asking for his dad. Well, of course he was. Don't all 2 year olds ask for their parents?!

The media are excellent at stating the bleeding obvious.

Darwin awards are only for those who have not yet procreated and therefore removed themselves from the gene pool..

This should be in the pissed off thread.

How could anyone put a child in that situation. What sort of life - and pain - is he going to have, having killed his own father. Stupid ****ing gun culture.

Anian

He didn't kill his dad, his dad killed himself with his own idiocy. Luckily, at two years old he won't remember it when he is older.

Wow! A gun-related topic where you and I are of one mind.

Lion in Winter

While that is true, it may not be the way the child experiences it. And someone will have to explain to him why his dad isn't around any more.... Do they lie? Let him find out later? There is no good answer.

My son remembers things from when he was two, and so do I.

This harks back to awhile ago where we had a thread about how do you approach how other people have their guns secured.

There are no children in my house, so the guns simply aren't secured. They're about the house in easy to reach locations in case they are needed. My extended family do however have children (most teenage, but a couple of young lings) but I do not move the firearms when they visit other than to make sure they don't go near them.

I wonder if that makes me one of those people that don't treat the weapons with the respect they deserve? I might have to address that this weekend.

They align much more than you realise, I don't always give my opinions on such things

You have strong feelings about microwave installation?

Anian

After installing one myself, yes - get someone else to do it! Fiddly and frustrating.

Are you talking about a microwave hood?

I wouldn't bring my kids to your house.

But, presumably, you teach your kids not too a) go through other peoples things and b) not wander around their house without permission - right?
