  1. You're just realizing now the crux of the problem?
  2. They did find his crash site long ago. It was searched several times dating back to 1995. Tough to find a body when bedouins bury it in the desert. R.I.P.
  3. YIKES!! Which is worse, Wisconsin or Pennsylvania? Ouch!
  4. How ironic, considering how rooted you are in YOUR opinion.
  5. He warned her 5 times that he would use it. She had 5 opportunities to avoid it but she chose the opposite. He thought it was a routine stop and radioed it in as such. He was willing to let her go if she just signed the ticket. She did the opposite and escalated the situation by telling him to arrest her. He tried that. She resisted. What video are you watching? The first one in this thread is highly edited and extremely biased.
  6. She was part of the situation. You can not separate what she did from how he reacted. Every time she faced a choice to have an easy outcome or a more difficult one, she chose the more difficult path. If he followed SOP, how can you claim it was lazy police work? If she had a pacemaker, maybe she shouldn't ask him and dare him to tase her after he repeatedly warned her.
  7. Lazier? Pulling out the taser as a first resort? Did you see the entire altercation? All she had to do was sign the ticket, she said he would have to arrest her. He man handled her when she didn't get out of the road, and hence out of danger, fast enough. He tried to cuff her and she resisted arrest. He man handled her when she tried to flee by walking into the traffic. He warned her at least 3 times that he would tase her and she dared him to do it. SHE HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO AVOID THE TASING. Every time she was given a choice to lower the tension in the situation, she made the wrong choice. Usually people do not have difficult choices when dealing with the police. The police need to control the situation. If you let them know that you are not challenging their authority, situations usually get resolved with no altercation. That could have happened in this case but she chose otherwise.
  8. Yeah that long drive from Buffalo to Pittsburgh is a killer I tell ya, a killer!
  9. Watch the video link in this story from NBC. She could have just signed the ticket and driven away, instead she asked to be arrested. She was argumentative throughout. She also asked to be tased and dared him to tase her. Difficult as it is to watch the tasing, she had plenty of opportunity to avoid it and I have a hard time criticizing the cop in this case.
  10. Live and Let Die? Nah, Moonraker was the all time worst.
  11. The Liberty Bell 7 was recovered at a depth of 15,000 feet after 38 years. K-129 was partially recovered from a depth of 16,000 feet. Unlike the black boxes of the Air France flight, neither was trying to be found. If they want the black boxes badly enough, they will be found and recovered.
  12. Good News!! Lost has a spin-off!!
  13. I clicked on your second list and got this. Reported Attack Site! This web site at www.capped.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences. Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system. Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.
  14. Locke 2.0 didn't know that Jacob lived in the foot of the statue either. Certainly Esau should know that. I'd guess that Locke 2.0 is feigning ignorance in both cases.
  15. The one where John from Hemet was going to jump on a plane to Buffalo and kill one of Hogboy's personas in a spearing contest was a classic. I'm surprised Belinda has not been mentioned.
  16. Pretty much the vacuous statement I expected. They strike me as strikingly dissimilar in terms of goals. U boats set out to sink ships, Somali Pirate set out to capture ships. They strike me as strikingly dissimilar in terms of, motivation (serving country in a time of war vs money). They strike me as strikingly dissimilar in terms of tactics. They strike me as strikingly dissimilar in terms of capabilities. U boats were built to sink ships, 15 foot skiffs aren't. What is so strikingly similar?
  17. I can believe that one or the other of those is happening but I have a hard time understanding why countries would pollute Somali waters with toxins and fish those same waters for food to feed their own people. How do either of these offenses justify the capture of tankers, freighters or yachts which are neither dumping toxins nor fishing?
  18. You consider the U-boats of WW-I and WW-II to be analogous to the Somali pirates? Are either the Somali pirates or the U-boats 'commerce raiders' as the pirates and Privateers were some 200 years ago?
  19. How is this relevant to the current situation?
  20. Or they could be in the future.
  21. How else would Widmore test Miles ability and determine whether or not it is real or a sham other than to use someone he knows?
  22. Actually the audio transcript used in this recreation was highly edited. The audio and video are not really in sync. They were in the air much longer.
  23. It's probably part of a flash forward but doesn't reveal how they got off the island.
  24. I would guess that the pilot dropped the phone because it shows the locations of all the members of the commando dudes and gives the survivors a chance to hide and avoid them.
  25. $3.2 Million would have to be a much bigger wad of money than was stuffed in the wall of that house.
