re: #231 RogueOne

I’m finding it odd that so many people want to blame the FD and not the family.

I’m not really interested in assigning blame. I’m more interested in pointing out the rank, stupid foolishness of watching a house burn, a fire spread, and fighting it, in the end— the same fire— only after it had spread to a neighbor’s house.

They had already spent money in responding to the fire. Explain to me, please, what costs they saved themselves in standing around watching it burn for awhile before eventually fighting it.

Do we blame the lottery when people spend their entire paychecks trying to win Powerball?

Well, yeah, I think people who take advantage of the fact most people have no comprehension of statistics are assholes.
