  5.  @jordanwhite5470  Presumably the neighbor wanted to make sure that the kid was okay, and never intended for the mother's life to be ruined as a result. Note that the mom, Heather Wallace, made no such allegation against the 911 caller, and Wallace knows who the caller is. So let's stick with known facts instead of wild speculation, shall we?

  6.  @SK-ut6tw  See, I'm honest, and level-headed. Letting your emotions spin out of control to the point that you are not only creating elaborate fictional tales based upon mindreading the 911 caller, only to then go one step further by wildly attacking me for daring to stick to the known facts of the case? See, you have far more in common with the 911 caller than I do. Once you've decided that facts are unimportant, and instead let yourself get taken over by emotions untethered from any factual basis, there is no limitas to where you'll land up. Which is precisely how situations described in this video come about. Because while your sympathies in this case may lie with the innocent victim and her son, you are all too likely to lash out on behalf of the wrong side the next time some other situation arises. That's what happens when people ignore facts and instead act as judge, jury and executioner based upon nothing but their oveheated emotions. Scary stuff. Please never, ever sit on a jury.

  7.  @crusherven  Indeed, you are correct. 911 dispatchers answer calls all day and night; it is the PD's job to handle things correctly. Someone dropped the ball here.

  8.  @jfangm  Being forced to share? Wrong. Being taught to be selfish? Also wrong. Being generous with others is hardly a bad thing. And making it seem as if there are only the two extremes presents a false choice. And most parents don't waste time getting wound up over such nonsense, thank God.

  9.  @century2298  As long as it's not encouraged or overemphasized: "Don't listen to her - if you don't want to share, then don't! Who cares!". That would be unhelpful. However, explaining that sharing is nice and wonderful and makes the world a wonderful place, but ultimately it is the child's decision? Sounds good to me.

  10.  @KamoGaming999  I know plenty about RFK Jr. He is not a good guy; check out Maureen Callahan's book. RFK Jr. has held a large number of radically leftist ideas, although during this campaign he has flip-flopped on nearly every issue. I am very familiar with RFK Jr, really. I'm also very familiar with John Stossel. Sounds like you're new to all this.

  11.  @KamoGaming999  1. There is a world of difference between someone having a legitimate change of view on an issue or two, versus someone changing their mind on a dozen issues right before an election, specifically right after they're asked a tough question. The latter is more than a little suspicious. 2. My point about your being new to this was in response to your suggestion that I don't just take this video at face value, whoever this video host is. My response was to point out that my opinion on RFK Jr. has been in place long before I watched this video, and that the host here isn't just some guy, but the legendary John Stossel. So yes, your comment to me seemed to assume that I was also new to all this and needed to further research the matter, which is why I noted that I am very, very familiar with the players here. 3. Those who are more familiar with RFK Jr. tend not to be his supporters. He hasn't been vetted by the media because he is not a serious threat to win anything, which is how he gets the support he does - such as it is - from those who see his ads or interviews but haven't heard any pushback. Well, yeah, then he sounds good, but it doesn't mean much. Follow up on: * Eliza Cooney * Mary Richardson Kennedy * Robert H. Boyle Or, better yet, try reading some of the following: * "RFK Jr. Really Had Quite A Week", Slate magazine article * "RFK Jr.'s Family Doesn't Want Him To Run. Even Though They May Not Know His Darkest Secrets." Vanity Fair Article * "Ask Not", book by Maureen Callahan * "RFK Jr.: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And The Dark Side Of The Dream", book by Jerry Oppenheimer * "RFK Jr. spent years stoking fear and mistrust of vaccines. These people were hurt by his work", Associated Press article * "How RFK Jr. hiring a bird smuggler threw his environmental group into turmoil", Washington Post article

  22.  @Derp12  Reagan was racist? WHAT?? That's utterly ridiculous.

  23.  @peterpan8263  Your claim about Reagan is obviously false
    2
  24.  @metalman666ization  Reagan was an economic success by any metric, and had major foreign policy successes. He took over a country that was rapidly failing within and without, created a sustained, booming economy, and returned us to our rightful place as world's greatest superpower, while pushing the Soviet Union out of business.

  25.  @clvrswine  Why not?

  26.  @deancarpenter2122  That is the real problem, welfare programs. Takes up a mammoth portion of the federal budget. Foreign spending is but a relative pittance and, unlike welfare spending, worth every penny. The domestic entitlements actually create perverse incentives which lead to many social ills.

  27.  @mikefabbi5127  As a US history teacher, I maintain that the two best presidents ever are George Washington and Ronald Reagan, not necessarily in that order. And I'm not just saying that, I thought about it for years before reaching any sort of conclusion.

  31.  @PacoQuerak  That's not English. And every source I can find which is written in English says otherwise.

  34.  @jacobawojtowicz  Untrue. We have the same say we always did - vote. Politicians spend because voters want them to. If politicans cut spending, they get voted out. That's the fault of the voters.

  39. Your description of leftists is accurate. But why is that "the problem with you right-wingers"?

  40.  @enterpassword3313  Venezuela used to have a free market economy; at that point they had the richest economy in South America. Along came Chavez and started screaming about taking from the rich and giving it to the poor. Which is how he got elected.

  44.  @bjk6574  Socialism has failed every time it's been tried. Income inequality happens in a free society. Unless you are green with envy, that's not a problem, and vastly preferable to misery across the board, which is what socialism brings.

  45. It's always easy to love people in the abstract without actually helping individuals. It is the left's specialty.

  46. I wish it were only Democrats who didn't get it. Unfortunately, half of Republicans oppose domestic spending cuts (once you mention specific programs) and also support raising the minimum wage. Knowledge of basic economics is rare.
