After reading that article, they seem like the type to sue the purse manufacture. Thats the problem with this country; its never their own fault, but someone elses. Tragic, but surely preventable if that woman wasnt so careless.

Not always. Sometimes guns are used successfully to defend people.

I was responding to Mooby from post #30 about "gun accidents",pretty sure the Lady in question was not defending the kids from anyone or thing (in Walmart) .

Without seeing the compartment in the purse or watching the video of how it happened I'm not going to draw any conclusions. It wasn't like she was waving it around in the air or twirling it on her finger though.

A two year old shot a gun in a store and killed it's own mother I would say someone was "irresponsible" but that's just me .

I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, just saying I prefer not to draw conclusions when I wasn't there and know very little about the whole incident.

We can only go by the accounts given by the news organisations .

Anti-vaccine book tells kids to embrace measles.

Measles is responsible for thousands of tragic (and preventable) deaths each year. Which is perhaps why so many reviewers are panning a new (and apparently self-published) book by Stephanie Messenger, an Australian author and anti-vaccine activist. According to the author’s page, “Melanie’s Marvelous Measles” was written to:

"Educate children on the benefits of having measles and how you can heal from them naturally and successfully. Often today, we are being bombarded with messages from vested interests to fear all diseases in order for someone to sell some potion or vaccine, when, in fact, history shows that in industrialized countries, these diseases are quite benign and, according to natural health sources, beneficial to the body. Having raised three children vaccine-free and childhood disease-free, I have experienced many times when my children’s vaccinated peers succumb to the childhood diseases they were vaccinated against."


What a nutcase.

So much stupid in the world right now, hard to believe we're talking about measles as an issue, fucking measles in this day and age?
