  1. Men aren't a federally protected class. This lawsuit will go nowhere.
  2. https://twitter.com/hsimon62/status/232844154747641856 Right now, Moats is the starter ahead of Morrison, and will start the Washington game.
  3. All you guys are talking about how we should ban high capacity mags and "assault weapons". The fact is there is zero difference between a semi-auto hunting rifle and an AR-15. High capacity mags? Many lives were saved by the fact that the shooter's mag jammed, as big mags are very prone to do. Holmes could have easily killed many more people if used more, smaller magazines.
  4. Who's to blame? Richard Nixon. These people are shooting each other over drugs, plain and simple. Nothing else can offer anywhere close to the rate of return as selling drugs.
  5. he Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/28scotus.html
  6. The Supreme Court has ruled that the police have no duty to protect you, and are only there to investigate crimes after they happen. If you rely on the police for security, you really have none at all.
  7. So let me get this straight, he pushed a cop and is being charged with resisting arrest, and not battery? Not very likely. Especially since 90%+ of the time they charge you with anything remotely applicable in order to have more leverage when bargaining.
  8. Smells like a load of bull ****. No other charge than resisting arrest?
  9. The uptick in crime has nothing to do with gun laws and everything to do with the drug war. The vast majority of these guys wouldn't be shooting each other if a bag of crack wasn't worth many times what it costs to produce.
  10. Agreed. At least pirated DVD's let the third worlders skip whatever they want.
  11. How about DVDs that don't let you skip the trailers in the beginning?
  12. Not a Jared Polis fan, but he raises some legitimate concerns. The reason Leonhart won't answer is because Meth and Cocaine are considered schedule 2 prescription drugs (classified as less dangerous than weed). http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/20/top-dea-agent-wont-admit-heroin-more-harmful-than-marijuana/
  13. I seriously doubt they will be able to get 12 people to vote guilty.
  14. How did you understand the plot/know who the characters were?
  15. Early Judaism was not monotheistic. In fact only after the Babylonian exile did they deny the existence of other gods such as El (used for the supreme creator in genesis, but rarely used after.. is a canaanite god), Baal, and Asherah. They only made the distinction because it was thought the Babylonian god defeated their god and they were conquered. It allowed the Jews to retain some pride after some bad defeats.
  16. The same can be said for religion.
  17. I just remind them that a good portion of the most important founding fathers were either deistic or held strongly deistic beliefs.
  18. And people wonder why we are falling so far behind the rest of the world in math and science?
  19. It's impossible to get rid of these drugs. Most of the designer drugs are research chemicals that have some psychoactive effect. They literally have pages and pages of them, waiting until one is made illegal to release the next one. The chemists will always be far ahead of the law.
  20. As has been said many times in this thread, corporations cannot own NFL teams.
  21. The Judge doesn't even have a law degree (doesn't show up on the Texas bar) so what do you expect? He was probably elected on some tough on crime, zero-tolerance BS. The more jail terms he gives out the better he looks to voters in a few years.
  22. Unless they move D'Brick to RT, it will most likely be Anderson vs D'Brickashaw.
  23. So your argument is the slippery slope logical fallacy? If we do ___ it must lead to ___. Anyone that took philosophy 101 can shoot a hole in your argument.
  24. The only other player that made sense was Michael Floyd.
  25. In other news, God falls to 0-4 for the 2012 presidential race. http://i.imgur.com/Xl6oM.png
