    You mean like paying grazing fees and following court orders? Thank you for pointing out exactly to what I was refering to! But you were all happy with him not following the law. Actually, he was a great patriot for standing up to "The Man". Now you are all upset that Kerry is standing up to "The Man". Aren't you doing the exact same thing you are accusing "the left" of?

    Consensus is a desperate attempt to silence the opposition.... Interesting.

    Do you advocate that we should take the worst kinds of killers and give them free room & board ? ...as a deterrent for others who may be considering the same type of crime ? Do you reckon that'll do it ? Why not. We give "free room and board" to rapists, child molestors, pedophiles, etc.

    Yet insurance does kind of mean that others pay your bills. It sort of is the concept of insurance.

    Correct. Even when you fail to dodge, and it smacks you right in the face....you deny it or claim you meant to take one on the chin

    Yes, we all know what you see. We also know that you believe that what you see is always right. You are just as steadfast as rushmc. Once taken a position, it won't change...ever. You and him would make good dance partners...I suggest a twist.

    I am inclined to believe it was to protect monetary interests. players had made noises they would possibly not play, or delay playing. Sponsors were possibly looking at cancelling contracts with the NBA if this wasn't handled to their satisfaction. Views of an owner making money of a sport, which is predominantly black, conjures up thoughts of plantation owners. The optics are different from Shaq making stupid comments. That doesn't make it right, it does explain why you cannot compare the two.

    Which one was the most necessary? We'll chalk you up for: "lying is fine, as long as I like the outcome"

    Yes it does, shouldn't really come as a huge surprise for most adults. Oh, and he is still part of the club. He owns it. He is also not banned from basketball. He is free to start his own basketball league. He is however part of a joint venture, and his words have cause his partners in that joint venture to take action, specifically because his words could lead to significant losses for the other partners in the joint venture. This also explains why players using racial slurs are not handled the same way. The monetary impact to the joint venture and its partners is not the same.

    can't we be outraged over both and discuss them separately? I really hate the "he did it first so we can't complain about the other guy doing it" argument that both sides use. That would be great....won't happen. Just look at how those most outraged about Benghazi feel about the invasion of Iraq.

    $2.5 million fine, banishment from anything to do with the team or league, possibly forced to sell his team. Yup, words have consequences. Not sure why people are so surprised about that concept. Plus, Mr. Sterling is free to start himself another basketball league. Plus his investment went from $12 million to $800 million or so. DOn't think he is losing money on this deal.

    I love semantics!!! Just wondering how "godless roman pagans" and "actually they had lots of gods" is a semantics argument.

    For the same reason that gun-free Canada has Dudley Do-Right - even generally peaceful people have their Snidely Whiplashes. Not at all...we have them cause we don't have any right to protect ourselves. Actually, I think it is law that we have to let ourselves be killed.

    We have a presidnt lieing about something costing 4 americans their life in Benghazi. We have another president lieing about something and costing thousands of americans their life in Iraq. I would almost think outrage is really only based on political affiliation. Sad really.

    so .1% are stolen each year. Or in an entire decade, 1%! In any event, it sounds like you'd blame rape victims for being careless with their entire, and causing the unwanted pregnancy problem in America. There is a difference between blaming and stating a simple fact. there could be, but Kallend removed any possible doubt in his reply. 'Damn bitches and their miniskirts!' lol. Ok kelp, whatever makes you feel superior.

    Uhm no. You don't need a conviction to prove a crime. You need a conviction to prove somebody committed a crime and that person can be sentenced. A crime is a crime, whether somebody gets convicted of committing the crime or not. In other words: if a murder goes unresolved, a crime has still taken place.

    YOU don't know what's in it, so it's YOUR claim that it's tested and has been shown to work satisfactorily that is false, because: 1. You can't possibly know that. 2. OK has admitted that it used it for the first time. When you quoted me you conveniently left out the part about how the courts have shot down your argument... The courts also said that OJ Simpson was not-guilty. There is very little regulation governing compounding pharmacies. So, while you may know what substance you are supposedly buying, you don't really have any level of comfort that is the substance you are actually getting.

    Why would the US even need cops. Isn't an armed populace all polite and peaceful and stuff?
  20. SkyDekker
    I bought at $40 and sold at $70. Worked out pretty well. (CAD$ devalued against the US$ at the same time, which helped even more!)

    Yeah the optics are completely off. I do think she is actually countersuing though. There is more to the case. Hur husband is a cop and may have been following her home. She may have been intoxicated. She may have been allowed to leave and go home before any tests were done. Cops may have been looking out for cops. She wasn't the one to call 911. No charges were brought. So now the family is suing civilly, I believe she launched the countersuit as part of her defence. The whole thing is fucked really.

    You're continuing to defend ignorance. It's pathetic. Saying that states with CCW permits seem violent compared to Finland is intellectually as stupid as saying that countries with elephants in them are really hot compared to Finland. The same violence delta existed (and generally was much higher) in the years before the CCW change was made. It still exists in the areas that didn't make the change. It doesn't take a triple digit IQ to conclude that CCW is irrelevant to the matter. I agree. Though one may find that having very easy access to guns in a society does matter in the grand scheme. Hence, CCW doesn't appear to have a negative influence on a micro level. Easy access to guns appears to have a negative influence on a macro level. Which is what my comment was about. (And maybe you do need a three digit IQ to figure out that doesn't mean that banning guns in the US is the right answer)

    Sure, it's more a question of, "Why now?" He has a pretty long history of actions to dwell on instead. Just like in comedy, timing is everything.

    I don't disagree. Just didn't see saying nothing as a viable option
