Me too. But where are the sympathetic people who will tell us that anyone who would do something so depraved must surely be ill and deserve our compassion, poor murderer that she is? Anyway, I am wondering, anyone else find it silly that they made "concealing a homicide" a crime, since, well, they've got you for murder... And do they expect people to come out and TELL them about the homicide they just committed? EVERYONE who murders "conceals the homicide," pretty much -- by pretending they are not the one who killed the person. Also, I think there is something else going on here. They said it was about the victim having eyes for the killer's boyfriend and ex-boyfriend. Then they say that the ex-boyfriend actually took part in the murder. If this was a jealousy thing on the part of the murderer, why the fuck did the guy get involved? What an idiot HE is. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Hey, to the two (so far) gay men who have given their personal experiences and perspectives, thanks. I have a lot of respect for your frankness and willingness to share parts of your life. NO, I am not an incipient gay guy, guys. But I do respect ya. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Nobody sees it as divisive. Not even "Peaceful" Jeffrey does. He just sees it as an opportunity to fight. Gee, uh, thanks for presuming to speak for me. Are you just still sore because I alleged that you bust on me? Trying to fulfill the prophecy, now, are we? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

It doesn't have to be filthy: they could all do enemas before they fuck. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yeah, but they pretty much know that you pretty much don't like me, so I don't expect they're gonna jump on your ass about it. Rest easy. edit: I appreciate your having the guts to come forth and admit it, though. edit again: I almost said "had the balls to come out and admit it..." But that would have been so gayyyy! - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

You want me to set you straight? You think I care about disappointing you? Your belligerence toward me and thinly veiled hostility have me thinking I wouldn't piss in your mouth if your teeth were on fire. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

What you're arguing is that being present in a given area (a "bdrug area," apparently) is reason to suspect that a person is conducting illegal drug activities. You're arguing that assertion and exercise of a right against unreasonable searches is exactly what makes a search reasonable. I know most of the others here will recognize how absurd (and dangerous) such thinking is, and I am hoping you will be able to join them. Some day. And you have every right to refuse to answer questions. How do ya like them apples? The people have rights! Holy shit! - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

The powers that be who hire cops onto a force are not obligated to just cut a cross-section out of society and give them badges. Therefore, there is no reason to expect that a police force is going to (morally, ethically, racially, religiously, physically, or any other way) reflect the society as a whole. There is every reason to believe, expect, demand that police forces hire only those people they expect to be the most competent, ethical, moral, upstanding among the applicants. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

ahem - communism defeated iteself in 1989 apparently no intervention, in the end, was required. Um, it wasn't a spending war called the Cold War that caused it to consume itself in a race with a nation that was economically more able to compete and hold out til the end? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yup, you were being truthful. It IS just about debating points you don't care about. So, you don't care to address the fact that the poll shows more people agree with my position than any of the others? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Now who's having trouble understanding concepts? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I want to direct your attention to the poll results, where you will see that not just a plurality but a MAJORITY of voters have said they aren't down with the division thing. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Saying that "it must affect Jeffrey somehow" means you are ignoring the fact that I sometimes get into these frays because I kinda enjoy the debate and the back-and-forth. It's like when your dog grips the rope chew toy and snaps his head back and forth while you hold it tight. He and you both know that he's not breaking the neck of a rabbit, but it's fun for him and a little fun for you, too. How can you see the amount of debating I do here and then insist that I must be affected by something before I'll expound on my opinions on it? I don't consider myself affected by the gay boogie. I was just asking (and by way of asking, expressing my opinions about) why it's deemed to be necessary. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

We've had those bases in other (willing) countries for an awful long time -- long enough to establish without question that they are not a foray into conquering other countries. They were put there because we alone had the money, the will and the ability, and the countries that host them AGREED to let us do it (or else it would have been an act of war, no?) and they BENEFIT from them being there, both economically and also in terms of militarily-provided security. If Iran put a base in Mexico, you could be pretty sure it was there as a jumping-off point for eventual aggression, NOT as a watch-post to make sure we were not going to go after Iran to take over. Ours are proved to be relatively benign. Yes, we do use them as staging areas for campaigns like Afghanistan and Iraq, but NOT for IMPERIAL CONQUERING. We are not putting U.S.-elected leadership in Iraq and harvesting all that the country produces. We are trying to get them set up as a new democracy, one that is not dangerous to our existence. So you can't go calling our overseas bases a threat to places like Iran, etc. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Nor did those countries do the substantial work of defeating communism, which would have spread from the U.S.S.R. unimpeded around the world were it not for our military bases in other countries (which, by the way, could not have been in those countries without the agreement of those countries...). - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Looks like the concept of "stop digging" is completely lost on you..... I'm sure the explanation of the concept is down here somewhere! Hand me that new shovel, this one is all worn out now... - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I did not say that it did, now did I? I just said that I don't see the reason for it, and I think that it is less positive than it is negative (because it pays attention to differences that we really ought to allow to be background nothingness). Really, when did I challenge whether it should be done based on how it would "affect me"? I have to get going to be ready for work. See ya. Don't wait up for me. I won't be back on probably til late tonight. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

This is Daniel Craig, the guy who plays James Bond but is anti-gun? Okay, when I stop laughing, I'll comment further. Right now it's too hard to have sympathy through the chuckles! - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Think he's gonna take his toys shower and go home to work now? There, fixed. See ya later!

Yep, you're right. I do need to get that sense of humor checked. You said it, not me. Oh, wait, I did say it. But then I dropped it and now you're agreeing with it. That was your decision, not mine. It's lookin' like a lot of people here are humor-impaired. They laugh when someone says "boobies," but can't figure out irony, satire, sarcasm... It's saddening, really... - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I honestly can't tell if this is a threat of rape or simply wholly unwelcome flirtation, but either way it's now on the record. How on earth could an invitation that says "WE" can experiment possibly be a threat of rape? It doesn't even explicitly mention using anything that belongs to me. Perhaps I meant we could get together to find someone with something you'd want in your mouth. "It's now on the record." What is? My joke? You know, the one with the after it? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Like I care? It just means you don't remember the movie that was from well enough. Not my problem, nor my concern. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Is it not true that the despotic theocracies we don't like, don't like US because we are not like them? Is their dislike of us justified, in a way that our dislike of them is not? Where is it written that just because we like the idea of democratic elections that we have to also like the idea that those elections brought dangerous despotic theocrats to power? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

True. I've been saying all along that religion (of any sort, really) is an impediment and NEVER an expediter of peaceful coexistence of the world's people. Look not between different religions; look simply at islam for a good example. These are people supposedly of the same religion, and even there they are fragmented so badly along tribal-type lines that the murder each other, and have for generations. All because of religious disagreements and differences, and within ONE religion, not between different ones! Religion is major problem. Humans cannot handle it without it becoming a source of strife. My personal feeling is that it should be abandoned, and we should dedicate all of our efforts toward uniting the people of the world toward making life better here. We have to admit there is a lot of work to do. We're wasting an awful lot of time and energy. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

This reminds me about how recently, in Florida, some "nurse" was arrested for giving people bogus, or way-diluted, flu vaccine. Isn't it possible that some of the kids were just given defective, ineffective, diluted, or plain old fake vaccine as part of someone's scam to make money without having to issue the genuine product? Infuriating as it may be, there are people out there willing to do such despicable things. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
