Yep. It's hardly shocking that it happened, and it won't be shocking when it happens again. When people see decades of police brutality in general, and case after case of cops not even being indicted for killing unarmed black people, the scales of justice reach a tipping point. It's unfortunate...

That's the thing, you have to be actually observed committing speeding in order to be charged with speeding. You have to be observed by a cop, a radar gun, or in some states by a camera. Otherwise, you're left with confronting a calculator (your accuser) at trial.

I don't think Obama is "blithely unconcerned about all areas of our national security," but I do think he's absolutely clueless on what to do about it. Most politicians are. We've had 4 Cyber Security Czars since Bush, only one of whom knew what he was doing but quit less than a year after being...

Yes, it's very simple stuff. They don't track your speed through a toll plaza using your transponder, they monitor it with a radar gun. The problem is, they made no such admission. The transponder identifies you at a toll plaza and then bills you for the toll. That's it. That's all it does. And...

Nobody gives a furry rat's behind. You're the only person in this thread talking about race. Pilgrim didn't say "black race," he said "black people." I didn't say Latino race," I said "Latino immigrant." Why you want to make this about race, which is a completely different topic, I have no idea...

Yes, that's true. But the story, video and dead guy do not represent a wide range of possibilities, they represent a single actuality. In this case, the dead guy is a Latino from Honduras and he's not black. I never said there was. Both "black" and "Latino" are everyday English-language phrases...

Actually, that's "factually inaccurate by omission" (it's a thing now). You omitted the fact that he's an illegal Latino immigrant and that he's not black. Although, to some people, I suppose, you are either white, or if you're not white, you're black. That's a very neat, easy, simple way to...

Got the tracking number for the 2 sweatshirts, 1 denim button down, 1 new cap, and the all important pack of Load One scratch pads. I still can't hold a pen to write anything, but I can scratch. Yay!

I've gotten loaded fast out of EVERYWHERE, and I've sat for days EVERYWHERE. Nothing is a total shocker to me anymore ANYWHERE.

It would be funny if he was doing it on purpose. Heck, hilarious if it was on purpose. But I'm finding it more and more troubling. Like as Alfred North Whitehead once said, “Not ignorance, but the ignorance of ignorance is the death of knowledge.” Martin Luther King, Jr noted that...

Like I'm going to voluntarily hand my phone over to a cop without a warrant so he can do a warrantless but consensual search.

They watch movies, and they're fans of Jack Bauer from 24, where they saw him get astonishing results from torture. Every time he tortured somebody (which was every week, or, literally 24 times a day) he got the answers he needed. Every time. Torture works! And because the knowledge the...

Bliss... Squared

The ONLY context about this author that we had ever discussed was the context of that article. When you said it came from him and it was "in context," that can only mean that it came from him and came from that article. Since it did not come from the article, and our came from somewhere else...

Verbatim? No, not exactly. Which is ironic, since "verbatim" literally means "exactly." You quoted him, verbatim, as... ALL THE APPLES (COPS) ARE BAD,REPLANT THE ORCHARD. Yet that's not what he said. His remarks were two sentences, you turned it into one. His remarks did not include (COPS)...

No, not kinda like that at all. Not even remotely like that. The problem isn't a lack of links, the problem is the intentional misleading information about where it came from. You never asked what the other sources were. Instead, you told me what the other sources were. You were wrong, but you...

No additional damage! Woot. I asked him what made it hurt so bad when I flung my wrist real hard like that, and he just looked at me like I was idiot. He's a very good doctor. Perceptive, too.

I'm at the ortho guy waiting in the waiting room waiting to find out if I did any damage.

Uh, oh. You in big trouble now. Your post is "factually inaccurate by omission" (it's a thing now). Pilgrim's gonna be maaaad. We're discussing the article (and its author), so everything is in that context. When you bring up something from outside the article and no one knows what you're...

Well then quote it. Copy and paste the entire paragraph where he mentions bad apples and replanting the orchard. You can't, because it's not in the article. You made it up. The phrase "all the apples" isn't even in the article. Do you not realize that we can go look at the article and see that...
