In a completely different school?
Which would depend on something that reportedly had never happened before: getting in serious trouble for one of his gadgets.
What depends on that?
I’m saying that it sounds more plausible to me that he “made” a clock, thought it looked cool and brought it in as a clock than the idea that he planned a hoax, is interested in engineering but couldn’t give two shits about the key part to his plot.
But that’s just me. No real sense in going around and around about it – in a sense, the article doesn’t give much new.
Sort of attacks the character of the boy. Which is probably the point of the story.
Your last 16 words. 
Little something for everyone. Those “for” can point out that bringing gadgets was nothing new, those “against” can point out a disciplinary record.
This is one of the most blatantly dishonest cut-and-paste selective quotes I have seen. But you knew that.
Of course he’s dishonest. He’s trolling. The real question here is: How long will the site permit him to do so?
How is that dishonest or trolling?
Because it doesn’t fit your one-sided skewed opinion he should be banned?
That classic liberal tolerance is glaring…
Speak of the devil…
Missed this:
You think I’m liberal? You’re going to give vapors to at least half the active posters here!
I’m unfamiliar with Mr. Mayhem. Can someone confirm that he is indeed the stark raving lunatic he appears to be?
I do realize some libtard’s blame Dubya for Clinton’s Trillion-dollar War against Gog and Magog, but are there really libtards who blame Dubja (or ¿Jeb? or their Dad?) for the jihadist attack on MacArthur High School?
canned mayhem, you really needn’t bother. We can assume that your sole ‘contributions’ to any discussion on this board will forever be some unoriginal, snarky drive-by comment about ‘liberals’. Saves you some typing, and the rest of us a lot of boring reading.
Or you could, you know, try actually interacting with other people. My Ghod, what am I saying? Never mind, that’s crazy talk.
Not at all.
You’re advocating that I be banned, after more than a decade here (and going back to the '90s on AOL), because I’m raising questions about a news story in a section of the board that appears to be a free fire zone? Pffffffft. :rolleyes:
Apologies, if this has been covered already, but would like to get a clarification on couple of points.
- Ahmed calls the process of taking a clock out of one case and putting it in another an invention
Ahmed is 14 years old (14, not 4).
Is Ahmed a special needs child?
- Ahmed’s “invention” consisted of taking a clock out of its housing and putting it in a new case. Ahmed is now invited to the White House, gets an MIT scholarship, and an assorted bunch of other goodies.
What about the 14 year old Chinese kid who actually built the clock in question? Is he going to get invited to the White House, get MIT scholarship, etc?
Over 1000 posts. Yeah, been covered. Ad nauseam.
Is Alkash a special needs child?
Could you please provide a brief summary? I’m especially interested in the Chinese kid who actually built the clock. Has he been identified?
Please don’t JAQ off in public, it’s gross and this is a family friendly place.
Maybe. But if he built a remote to fuck with the teacher’s projector during class, then he has mad skillz, and might just be a brilliant manipulator of time, space and the American public.
Why does this mitigate the insane overreaction by school officials and police? In other words, “So What?” You are really grasping at straws if you think this is relevant to this story.
