Then how do fireworks spook soldiers with ptsd? They should be used to it right? Or does this sociology only apply to children who've witnessed horrible things?

PTSD is something that is still being researched. I can tell you though first hand that there are very few soldiers that go to war,involved in a firefight and actually feel comfortable. We (military members outside the wire) never get comfortable with violence overseas because we return to our safe place (USA) after 6-12 months of combat. Everyday for months on end isactively looking for a fight - that's not normal life.

People that are born and raised in ghettos for 18+ years have been conditioned that the ghetto is their safe haven. That the violence they see on the streets and around their homes is the social norms so they adjust to it. It's not as if Melo was dropped off in the ghettos of New York for a few months and then taken away to Manhattan for the rest of his life. Violence around him was life. Quite a big difference...

On the UK Mirror website they are reporting that Lochte "lied" about being robbed. The comments devolved into a flame war between conservatives and liberals - just like everywhere else!

Women's wrestling. Two bronze medal matches just decided with takedowns that gave the woman behind the win with less than ten seconds left. This sport is underrated.

Update: Holy crap, three in a row as Icho of Japan wins her fourth consecutive gold medal with two points in the last ten seconds (3-2 win).

US Women sweep the 100m hurdles.

Also, I feel it's my duty to share the hottie that finished dead last in the 200m final, but number one in my heart:

If the US women don't get advanced on the relay, it's an absolute crap call from the committee. The Brazilian runner started her run on the far left of her lane with her (non baton receiving) arm flailing wide into the US lane...
