RE: The Rant Thread - DejaBoo - 10-01-2023 On a different note... I miss innocent (not mean spirited) sarcasm. You can't even hint at humour without being lectured to, anymore. RE: The Rant Thread - Diamonds of Frost - 11-01-2023 The 'young man' comment I imagine was used deliberately to put a stopper in our sympathy. 'Child' is a far more impactful word and will make most of us feel a sort of horror that a little boy had a gun and used it. 'Young man' is more in keeping with the US gun attitude of nothing to see here move along.

'Young man' is more in keeping with the US gun attitude of nothing to see here move along.I would also add his choice of words (in the moment) is in keeping with a police chiefs demeanor and training. When speaking (especially in public announcements) they tend to be more reserved and formal. Sounded as if he used "young man" simply from a chiefs commanding perspective, perhaps out of deference to the victim(s) and the student respectively. Saying "minor" sounds cold, saying "child" (directly after an incident of this nature) might offend the victims, as it implies an innocence incongruent with attempted murder, and saying "juvenile" has an element of criminal connotation - the chiefs natural choice would be simply to call him "young man" (and like you say above)... If you listen to the newer community updates by the chief, he emphasizes the word child when speaking of him. RE: The Rant Thread - DejaBoo - 11-01-2023 My new prescription reading glasses feel seriously warped, one side touching my cheek and the other sticking out... took a long time to get these after ordered (and they arent even the frame colour I chose), so I don't want to chance returning them... plus it's a whole days journey just to take them for adjustment, so I have to learn to deal with them as is... but my cheek just dont . like . it . now back to the grind, b4n RE: The Rant Thread - Leg End Reject - 12-01-2023 January, wind, rain, dark days ...

I despise filling out forms in general and this is a form I think is completely unnecessary and a waste of paper, as it doesn't affect anything, I'm just being told I need to fill is out simply for the sake of it. Half the questions don't make any sense and are phrased in a way that makes you want to put your fist through a wall (imagine Bernard Black doing his taxes). This was actually supposed to have been sent to me at the start of January, but An Post bounced it back to them, because the person who wants me to fill it out thought my name and street address was all that was needed, town and county be damned - I'd love to see them try to figure out how to answer some of these questions since they can't even address an envelope... The most infuriating thing of all though is that it has to be filled out in Black Pen - well guess what fuckwad, I don't have any black pens, so I'm not filling out your stupid fucking redundant form. When they call in a few weeks saying they never got it back, I'll just pretend I sent it off in the post, and they'll probably send me out another one and we'll do the whole song and dance again and again until one of us eventually dies. Really needed to just get that off of my chest...
