Are you fucking high? I can't believe some of the stupidity coming from some of you people. This is even dumber than the ridiculous tack of @eric3579's comments (although I haven't read further than this comment yet, so maybe he pulled his head out later. EDIT: Nope!).

Bombing suspects weren't enough of a threat?!?! You mean the bombing suspects who detonated two bombs during the marathon, executed an MIT policeman while he sat in his car, committed a carjacking and didn't kill the driver only because he wasn't an American, then engaged Boston police in a car chase and gun battle during which they threw several explosives, and one of the "suspects" ran over his own fucking brother so he could get away? Those bombing suspects? "Just isn't any way" they were enough of a threat?

Look, I've been very vocal about my hatred of police, and it pisses me off to see the citizens of Boston engage in the pathetically effusive hero-worship of police who were just doing what taxpayers pay them to do, but this whole argument that the warrantless searching of homes in an area police believed the remaining suspect to be hiding is just daft and has NO MERIT, not unlike the suspicion that this was some sort of compliance test on the populace that @newtboy "heard some say", which is firmly in Alex Jones/Glenn Beck thousand-yarder territory. Maybe the government just really wanted to get into a few homes and look around without warrants, and the best idea they could come up with was to blow some people up, eh? What sorts of secrets do you think were surreptitiously gleaned from those searched homes that would justify such a huge and deadly ruse? Maybe they just wanted to find out if residents in a search area for an extremely and demonstrably violent suspect would be stupid enough to resist efforts to actually locate and apprehend him. Compliance test... give me a fucking break.

You believe the police should have whittled the the search area down to a single home, got a warrant, and then knocked on the door with their guns holstered? Do you also believe that the police can read minds, or have powers of perception that the rest of us don't? Maybe you think the movies are accurate, and anything that happens anywhere can be played back in HD by the police because some super-secret satellite gets it on video. They're dicks, but they don't have superpowers and can't know everything with certainty, and I think they did a good job in a relatively short period of time of homing in and getting those assholes. What I find amazing is the criticism being leveled at them for doing exactly what they were supposed to do. If I'm being held against my will by someone who just blew up a marathon, killed a cop, and ran over his own brother to get away, the cops sure as shit better be actively searching my neighborhood, and not holding back for lack of warrants or knowledge of exactly which house he's in.

Other people here have tried to explain what exigant circumstances are, and why they most definitely applied in this case, but some of you just prefer to see bogeymen everywhere. Maybe you need to, for some reason.

I feel dumber for having watched this. How did the cat get in? Maybe through that hole there.

I don't get it. This "kinetic typography" is a thing? I feel dumber for having watched it.

Let me see...you call the women "dumber than dumb" for doing something that you only hypothesized they would do. And when called on it, you complain that it's tedious explaining simple comments to idiots.

You're a Republican, aren't you?

I can only hope that this is fake.If it's not, these woman are dumber than dumb. They would, probably, put all their private information, videos etc, on line only to realise later - "Doh, maybe that wasn't such a good idea."

Sigh, is there a way to filter out sifts from a specific user, i feel dumber every time I see the description on one of Chingalera's sifts. Id like to be able to just ignore them permanently.

In my younger/dumber days I did this to myself. Not a big deal. Unless the bar is stupidly heavy, rest it on your chest then 'roll' it down to your hips. At that point you can sit up and either dump it to one side or continue to roll down and past your knees at which point you can stand up. Awkward and uncomfortable -- you'll compress your abdomen and it might be hard on the hips -- but not impossible.

My answer: http://videosift.com/video/Everyone-in-this-room-is-now-dumber

Salvia users: Dumb.
Salvia users that let their friends record them: Dumber.
Salvia users that let their friends upload the videos online where anyone can see them using drugs: Dumbest.

"At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Yet another 21st Century US movie where a bourgeoisie asshole belatedly realizes he's been prosecuting nightmares for the psychotic banking class but can heroically make up for it with yet more violence.

Can't we go back to muscle bound imperial troops slaughtering dirty little brown men and getting the blonde? Its no dumber and was much more fun.. Come back Arnie all is forgiven!!

Uhhmmm.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

That's pretty explosive. I don't remember this incident. I wonder if Arsenio will ever get a show again - his audience always seemed a bit dumber than he was.

The stop signs may be a federal law but only recently have the penalties been increased to LUDICROUS standards.

I think the point that you are missing (for the ones saying that you shouldn't need to stop, or that the stop signs should be replaced with slow signs) is that this kind of law has been this way for about 35+ years. This is NOT a new law, at least in my area.

I'm not sure where you are from but I live in Jersey. This law, or at least the stop signs on buses, were enacted within the past decade at most.
I didn't say kids are dumber these days. I said things like this are making our kids dumber because we're making everything so safe for them nobody learns any life lessons.
Maybe things are different in yoru Area but in my Area there are no Elementary School Buses. The younget you get on a bus is when you're headed into middle school so you are 12 years old. Someone who is 12 years old should know to look both ways before crossing and not cross in front of the bus etc etc etc.

STOP signs on school buses are a Federal Law.... as in the entire USA.. NTSB #131 for the last 21 yrs
