That kid is a little shit. Its not a bad thing, I was a little shit as a teenager too. Thank god the internet wasn't around to blow me way out of proportion.

He's been trolling his own twitter ever since last Friday again... Trying to find buyers for his books... Does he make sense sometimes? sure! Does he completely miss the ball on this one: well, you be the judge ;)

Pure garbage from the new king of blowhards. He's in way too deep, like Bill Maher, and he's now preaching only to his dwindling choir.

Yes, Richard Dawkins, a 14-year-old boy intended to get arrested and deliberately provoked an overreaction by Texas racists, whose existence I'm sure he was totally aware of, because 14 year old boys are some wily motherfuckers.

Richard Dawkins, once a luminary, now a delusional conspiracy theorist struggling to cling to the fringes of respectable society, drowning in his own diarrhea.

Won't disagree with you about Dawkins. But he has a point. Looking back at it, I feel sort of ashamed for jumping on the bandwagon so quickly.

Really, other than possibly connecting a few wires, the kid didn't build a clock. He took a clock, and put it in a bomb-looking suitcase.

It seems unlikely a kid would intentionally try to get in trouble for carrying a bomb. But it seems even more unlikely that he would put a clock in a bomb-looking suitcase and bring it to school as a science project.
