As gaffs go, that was incredibly lightweight. If I had been sitting in the audience, I would not have noted it. You have to wear your heart on your sleeve (IMO) to be offended by this. To go so far as to call him cruel and heartless was silly enough that I would call the article satirical. He's not my favorite president, but I reserve my criticism for serious flaws. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Eh. A couple of weeks ago, they kept running a piece about a UK Football (soccer) player who got a haircut. Apparently it had not been cut in two years because he swore he wouldn't cut it until he scored a goal. I guess he scored a goal. They kept showing video of the haircut. I guess there was no interesting legislation, war, or famine that day. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Some people have small tubes, or even different sized tubes (sounds like Karen does). I keep decongestants in my SCUBA gear. Some of my dive buddies have to take them every time.

My cat picked this day to kick off and go to ground. :(

Warm sympathies, sweetie. Some pets might as well be family. Sounds like this one was. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. -

I couldn't tell you. The monitor that my desk faces has CNN International on it. Maybe the human interest coupled with the international implications?

You need to equalize. Hold your nose and blow. It will force the pressure between your ears and your mouth to equalize. You need to do it often to keep the pressure from building up as you descend.

Actually, there is a buoyancy compensation device used in SCUBA that is called a wing. This is a very cool video and both people involved are obviously very good. (Nery is a previous world record holder) I just started apnea training and assure you it is rough. However, he did not drift down to the bottom of Dean's Hole and climb back up as the video seems to show. That was artistic license.

As I understood it, the first conviction was under the fast track. The reduction in sentence came later...after he gave a statement that he saw Knox at the scene when he exited the bathroom. Even with the revised statement, he couldn't explain his bloody palm prints at the scene. Apparently, he took a dump; failed to flush; left without saying goodbye to the girl he had been making out with; doesn't know how his semen got into her.

My understanding is that the rapist implicated Knox and his sentence was reduced from 30 years. He'll be eligible for parole this year. Seems suspicious.

Most of what you say was in the facts, but there were other facts that made things plenty questionable. I'm not saying she didn't do it. I'm saying the evidence doesn't prove it to any level I am familiar with. Was there ever a motive thrown out there? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

One day, a very gentle Texas lady was driving across a high bridge in Austin. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixin ("fixin" in Texas means: has the means or abilities to take action) to jump... She stopped her car, rolled down the window, and said, "Please don't jump! Think of your dear mother and father." He replied, "My mom and dad are both dead; I'm going to jump." She said, "Well, think of your sweet wife and precious children." He replied, "I'm not married, and I don't have any kids." She said, "Well, then you just remember the Alamo." He replied, ''What's the Alamo?'' She replied, ''Well bless your heart ...just go ahead and jump, you little Yankee Democrat Bastard!''

All over the news today. I haven't kept up. Need help. The wiki explanation of the facts doesn't add up. It says 1) Her behavior was squirrely and her story changed. It also says she claimed duress, exhaustion, coercion, etc. to explain changing stories. 2) Apparently she had no motive? 3) Nothing placed her at the scene (no DNA, fingerprints, anything on her or boyfriend; no blood, etc. on her) The prosecution claims she wiped everything up, but somehow managed to leave DNA, fingerprints, footprints, bloody fingerprints, blood, etc. of the guy who raped and killed the victim. 4) The guy who raped and killed the girl claims he saw Knox when he returned from the bathroom and Knox must have killed the girl. I don't get it. Surely there are alleged facts that got left out of the wiki description? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

He was being humorous. He was pretending that you should drink free beer out of courtesy. His actual meaning was that he is always happy to drink free beer.

You lost me with that argument. It sounds like you are saying that if you can't narrow the field to only what you can handle, you should not narrow the field at all. Please rephrase. Thanks.

What is an everyday object that you don't own/use?

I read the article, but not the underlying letter. There is no logic behind what I read. A murderer is on the loose. If I use two words to describe the murderer: 'Black' eliminates 87% of the US population. 'Male' eliminates 52% of the US population. Between those two words, I've narrowed my search to roughly 6 out of every 100 persons. Why would I NOT do so? If I knew his name and SSN, I would broadcast that. The evidence does not suggest racial profiling. It suggests good police work. If the majority of calls are describing a black male (as the article suggests), then the question is whether the description is ordinarily accurate. If the majority of crimes are being committed by black males, this same community of organizations that promote themselves as champions of the black male should look internally for their solutions. If the majority of crimes are being committed by black males, then a brief statistical analysis would suggest the police should be looking for a black male even in crimes where those details are not known. (If 85% of recent car thefts are by a purple labrador and a car has been stolen; look for a purple labrador. The odds are with you.) If the majority of crimes are being perpetrated by purple labradors and the police are broadcasting and looking for black males, then they probably have a problem with racial profiling. When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. When your organization's purpose for existing is racially motivated, every problem looks like racism.

Man sues NASA for failing to investigate “alien life” on Mars
davjohns replied to Calvin19's topic in The Bonfire
I love conspiracy theories. One of my favorites came out years ago after NASA blew back to back trips to Mars. One failed to answer back. The other missed the planet. They said they thought metric was standard and messed up the math. The conspiracy theorist called bullshit. He said nobody in the scientific community uses standard, so that is no excuse (besides, they used that same excuse when the Hubble wouldn't focus). And, the guys who did this really are rocket scientists. Therefore, he concluded, both missions were successful and found proof of life on Mars. The dumb excuses were just a coverup. Pretty good argument. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..
