  1. Agreed. My point was simply that there is a miniscule number of false convictions and of those most if not all likely have committed the same or worse crimes. Once you extrapolate to death penalty cases, it just becomes mathematically insignificant. Until someone shows evidence of wrongly convicted and executed persons with no previous similar crimes in the US within the last 30 years... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  2. Nah. "Truth" would be too hard a metric for our beancounter mentality society to measure. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  3. The whole point is that while there are accidental wrongful convictions, how many of those are truly "innocent"? Not talking death penalty exclusively, as those are only a miniscule number.. Of course all of this is playing right into the politicians hands as they're diverting our attention from their continued failure to even balance budgets.

  4. So if a person murdered someone but for one reason or another was not tried and/or convicted of that crime but then was falsely convicted of a murder they did not commit, that's not karmic justice?

  5. This. There's a difference between an innocent person and one that is convicted of a particular crime they did not commit. Some might just call it karma.

  7. The CIA should be disbanded. How many terrorists have they directly or indirectly funded/trained? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  8. Let's be honest here. Some people have no worth. Some are actually detriments to society, not just financially either. If we're ever going to hope to get medical costs under control, we have to stop pretending otherwise.

  9. Once I saw freeflying going that way, got more into wingsuiting. Then um, err, ahhh... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  10. And the timing of this has absolutely 0 to do with the recent government shutdown... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  11. Straight white people are already or nearly a minority in the US now, so they should have a "Straight white rights" bill soon. Or we could just stop all this "protected class" bullshit and pass something that just says no discrimination, no quotas in government hiring and operations and let the private sector do as they will with the caveat of any company that does business with the government must also have a 0 discrimination policy in place.

  12. You can't say rigger, but you can say rigga... Only they can say it. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  13. My Stuff doesn't even appear on the left when on the Friends page, at least on Android. Was trying to turn off Friends, but couldn't seem to find the link for that either but didn't search much.
  14. Pulled too high, did not have plane diving in the background, no CReW. 5/10
  15. And by no cost to us, he means his company. And after or possibly during the 5 or 10 year tax credit, the company will demand it extended and also likely expanded threatening to move or may just move if offered a better deal by another locale. The corporations have just expanded this "extortion" to a global scale. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  16. Euro is a bad choice as it's used by multiple countries, some of which are destitute or nearly. Chinese Yuan is a bad choice as China doesn't exactly share their financials. Plus corruption and payoffs are everywhere. Not to mention foreign corporations are gutting their manufacturing with slim profit margins and massive pollution. South Korea doesn't seem to have the size to be a world standard, not to mention it's crazy brother above it. Perhaps it shouldn't be a country's currency but a valuable resource next.

  17. Sounds like most political discussions on here. Seems crazy there'd be all this fuss over something that there's no scientific proof of. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  18. While that may cause issue for anyone Baptist, the Catholics, Lutherans, Presbyterians, etc are going to be less affected, even if the headline just said Christian. It's all about differentiation. Of course, then the religion is less likely to get the free publicity defending itself.

  19. this you get posted link after link after link. But some how the Islamic leaders distancing them selves and denouncing the action never ends up on FOX news.....go figure I'm talking something larger: either kick the radicals out of Islam entirely, or if there is no way to do it, the "peaceful" ones can regroup under a new name like in other religions such as Judaism or Christianity. Its not a club where we get together every Friday with a membership list its not possible to stop people from calling themselves Muslims than it is to stop them from calling themselves Christians or Jews... Madonna comes to mind People don't generally call themselves Christian They call themselves Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, etc. While they mostly believe the same things, the bible passages they focus on and their interpretations vary. A poster mentioned Westboro Baptists. While it's true they are part of Baptists and Christianity, they are seen as their own group. Islam could easily do the same to better define their various, for lack of better words "brands" Shiite Sunni Al Shabab Etc. Rather than call everyone who uses the Koran for their teachings Islam or Muslim, group them by their focuses and interpretations.

  21. This: If someone commits a crime for other than religious reasons, their religion isn't relevant. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  22. This line of thinking would carry more weight if the "peaceful" Islamic leaders would publicly denounce and distance themselves from the extremists. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  23. Did you try this at the Apple store? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
