Jeez, the Chinese are really harsh! .

Teenagers here blow up letterboxes with pipe bombs all the time. Its just a prank.

Tell that to the people that get hurt. As a matter of fact, let one of your family members get hurt and tell me its just a prank. I'm not saying they should call out the army and hunt them down and kill them. But it is serious, and when they are caught, they should not be coddled regardless of their age. Again there are little kids that open mailboxes AH. This is not a harmless prank.

Oh give me a break - "terrorists" don't go around blowing up mail boxes in rural areas. Any teenager could dream up a note to spice up the attack and fool the gullible, i.e. people like you.

I'm sure there's a bunch of kids down laughing their heads off at all the publicity they are getting.

Next thing you'll be telling me is people who pepper country road signs with shot are terrorists

This is slightly more seirous, AH. 6 people are injured...

I got back home tonight, after spending a fun day with family, helping one of my nieces celebrate her first communion in Holy Cross.

On my way home, my driver side, back tire blew.

I was between Dubuque and Holy Cross, but luckily, I was near someone's home and I quickly received help from two men who helped me change my tire.

The funny thing is, as they were helping me, five people gathered and turned this into some kind of tire-changing party or something.

Then one of the guys went over to a mailbox as the group was joking about the pipe bomb incidents, and this guy opened theirs with a long stick.

I started talking about this with them, and they said there were three pipe bomb incidents near the area of Dubuque itself. I was like --- damn, this is REALLY hitting close to home within the Midwest.

Oh, one of the guys took a piece off my tire that had screw holes in it, and made a dirty joke saying, "There, you got yourself a pair of holes now." Not only was he my type, but he did not know who he was talking to.

Read it. Not a big fan of Heinlein, though. Just harps on and on about same ideology...

Everything (and more!) one needs to know about Heinlein is contained in the pages of "Farnham's Freehold".

NE Iowa. SW is where it's at Go Carroll county!

[SlowwHand]

You realize that Mr. Fun is located in Iowa, right?
And you know what a radical he is, don't you?

[MrFun]

You mean some Apolytoners think I'm a radical!?

Hell no --- I'm a moderate-liberal, thank you very much.

And I'm in SE Iowa (city of Davenport)--- not NE Iowa.

Even city of Dubuque is not considered NE -- just east.

[SlowwHand]

Oh, we know you're too clever to do this in your own Hood.

Do what??

[SlowwHand]

neighborhood. Jeez, what a white boy.

[MrFun]

Can you stop speaking Slowwhandish, and speak English please?

Slowwhandish language is too vague and incomplete for me to comprehend.


So --- do WHAT in my neighborhood?? Clarify now!!

While teenagers have been blowing up mailboxes for decades, (i remember doing it a few time myself) we didn't set them up to blow up when someone opened them. BIG DIFFERENCE. Ours was a prank that just harmed the mailbox. This is much more serious.

Let me try this way.

You are much too devious to plant pipe bombs right by where you live.
