Ok. Evolution intended it to be that way. 1)Evolution doesn't intend anything. It just happens. 2) One of the closest species to humans exhibits rampant homosexual behaviour. 3) An advantage of having big brains is that we don't have to organise our societies strictly along the lines of what happens in nature. Animals don't get married. They screw whatever they want whenever they want. They also fling poo at each other. I find it interesting that those who believe in evolution over God also defend homosexuality as natural. It's just an observation. I'm still undecided on the legality of gay marriage. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

5 times. It's an easy question. Do you think Iraq is as bad as it was in 2004? A yes or no will do. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

That's quite a stretch. Joe Blow Gun Owner is a tad different than the Secretary of State. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Ok. Evolution intended it to be that way. The population is already too much for the earth to handle for very long, so maybe sodomy is a solution to some of the issues that have come about as a result of too many people being born? So evolution devised a plan of homosexuality in order to control the human population? I'm sure the gay community would support the idea that their only purpose is to eliminate part of the population. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

here's another good one. Rehmwa, you're SO full of it. I'm confused. No, you're not. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Strawman - who's judging? Powell, however, stated that universities could use race as a plus factor. They're judging who is better suited to attend. No it isn't. Ok... they're using it to choose who will attend. How would you like to word it? They're using race as a factor in acceptance with minority being a plus. Explain how that's fair. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

You think she was a great choice because she gives Hannity and Rush talking points? Really? The Secretary of State was an intelligent decision because the right wing media has more fodder.... fucking brilliant. I haven't watched Hannity in months and I've never once listened to Rush's show. Guess what... I'm still a conservative. I'll go out on a limb and say you don't need MSNBC or the NY Times to tell you what to think. Nor does reading those make you a fringe left. Drop the obcession over right wing media. The left far outweighs the right in that department. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Pick a side as in decide if Hillary was a good choice. You beat up people for saying she was a bad choice and then say the Clintons should get out of town. I don't care if you want to label yourself or not. It does bother me if you backtrack into hypocracies. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

You say the same thing over and over about Hannity and his talking points like you found a new toy to play with. Then you go and say the Clinton's need to leave town as soon as possible. If you're going to crush other peoples' opinions, then you should at least pick a side. She was a good choice or she wasn't. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Your hindsight is outstanding. He saw a guy with his wife who was in a robe and underwear screaming rape. He believed, because of his wife, a violent crime was being committed. The standard for killing someone ought to be very very high. IMO, just believing a crime was committed is not an acceptable reason. What standard would be higher than knowing? His wife said she was being raped. It wouldn't get any clearer than that for me. You're using hindsight again. If the guy could take a time out, move forward in time a few days, see how it all played out, then go back and make a decision, then I'm sure his actions would've been different. It was a split second decision based on his wife's screaming rape. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Did he steal her virtue? This is closer to a legal reason for the dismissal, though it still is fair game in a topic marked "only in Texas." Most states do not allow to shoot thieves in the back, and only permit the castle doctrine. So the topic of should this be ok is still open game. This was backing up a claim from an earlier post. I was enjoying researching Texas penal code. Agreed, it has nothing to do with justifying the shooting. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

It varies widely between states and institutions. Some states are different to the point that previous forced desegregation laws are considered in determining validity. In 2000, Florida banned race as a factor in college admissions. Then, in 2003, the supreme court ruled that the University of Michigan can still use race as a factor for selecting students. Most recently, Parents v Seattle and Meredith v Jefferson were successful in determining AA was unfair in their school systems. There's a lot of stuff in here from different states. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

To be fair, the husband's murder charge was dropped. He never went to court. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Wrong again. In Texas in some circumstances you can shoot a fleeing thief, for example, at night. You keep making judgments about this case without even having a grasp of what the law says. That's a bad combination... You guys keep arguing. I learn a lot by looking shit up. § 9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property: (1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and (2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or (B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Quote That's a cop out. A deadly force scenario is if you see that the other person is armed. Quote Here's the definition. No mention of being armed. (3) "Deadly force" means force that is intended or known by the actor to cause, or in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing, death or serious bodily injury. Also found this useful to the argument, particularly section B. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON. (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another: 1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and (2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or (B) to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.

I went ahead and googled it just cause I was interested. Clicky -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

If the wife (wolf) had a history of screaming rape or the husband knew she cheated in the past then the argument would be valid. I'm sure he believed what his wife was saying. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
