  1. As far as news organizations go, NPR at least presents the other side of the story and tries to keep their reporters and interviewers out of it.
  2. There's more ass in that one pic than back. Cool tatt though.
  3. Good point. I will just post what I said in the last thread: Absolute knowledge is impossible to attain, so we can go through the infinite regression of "Well it looks that way because of this!" Even if we had photographic evidence of her killing her daughter, it could have been photoshopped! Absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence. Also take into account the subjectivity behind "a reasonable doubt". That being said, how do we prove with 100% ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that person A killed person B? I don't think we can. If humans are inherently flawed, then the systems of government, laws, and courts humans create must also be inherently flawed. To prove someone guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is to provide direct evidence or enough circumstantial evidence that all other possible outcomes become so outlandish that the story told by the prosecution is proven "beyond a reasonable doubt". Direct evidence is having a witness testify that he or she saw the suspect stab the victim with a knife. Circumstantial evidence is having a witness testify that he or she saw the suspect walk into a house, heard screams, and saw the witness walk out with a bloody knife. Circumstantial evidence assumes the guilt and is therefore circular logic, rendering it useless on its own. Paired with direct evidence, circumstantial evidence can be used to strengthen and even solidify the case. In the case of Casey Anthony, there was far too much circumstantial evidence to even come near convicting her of 1st degree murder. Is this system foolproof? Is there 100% certainty in every case? Is there 100% certainty in any case? No, but the subjectivity lies in that jurors are not exposed to outside media nor do they have contact with persons outside of the courtoom and for good reason. They are the physical representation of the lady in robes; blindfolded and holding the scale. If one side is compelling enough to outweigh the other, then the applicable verdict must be given.
  4. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ YES!!! That has to be one of the best things OT has ever done collectively.
  5. Do you even like baseball? I always wondered. :shades: A few of those people you mentioned are still around, some have changed names, others seem to have disappeared. And yes, I've been finding fewer and fewer topics here lately that I even want to post in. Maybe if there was a topic about veterinarians I would consider it...

    You know you can hide people and posts right? I have deleted many people from my Facebook just for that. It's fun to watch them try to re-add me and deny the hell out of it while still remaining nearly equivalent work as trying to block them. Especially when you don't talk to each other. I kept adding and deleting the same kid for weeks before he stopped requesting. When you deny someone, just push the "Don't know this person?" thing or whatever. That way they cannot send you any further requests :thumbup:

  8. People who think they are the jurors on the Casey Anthony trial. You didn't sit in the courtroom for three weeks, nor were you instructed by the judge, nor did you deliberate the evidence. All you did was watch biased reporting from CNN, NBC, and Fox that had her hung from Day 1 because that is what makes the ratings go up.
  9. And they even sell us the fireworks to light off in celebration of our country!!!
  10. I mean, the players they have already are not really that bad, I just think the chemistry isn't there. I think the fresh start (coach, trade/free agent additions) is going to seriously help this club. They need to bring the Cup or at least the playoffs to MN.
  11. I was hoping for but not expecting new prayer-based armor. Oh well.
  12. V for Vendetta: I saw The Rookie (1990) with Charlie Sheen and Clint Eastwood 10/10 for badassery and awesomeness.

    I pulled an all nighter on Sunday-Monday, went to the beach Monday afternoon, came home and fell asleep at 4:30pm. I woke up to my alarm at 6am this morning. 14 hours of power-rest. I still feel like garbage but I survived the weekend :)
  14. I have a Havlat official embroidered jersey :mellow: Oh well, I think the Wild are making the right move by adding Setoguchi and Heatley. They need a revamp, this .500 crap has been going on for too long.

    Heading out to my friend's house to work on a platform that will have around $600 worth of fireworks mounted on it. Then we will be manufacturing home-made explosive devices from taking apart mortar shells. It should be a blast....no pun intended :-P
  16. More people go to my old high school... By the way, that's where I put my marker. Street view to see Indiana's largest high school by student enrollment. :mrgreen: When I was in high school, there were only 400 students in the school and my class was the last to graduate with under 100. We walked 89 on graduation day. Small town fo' life! :grin:
  17. Oh but the harmonies between vocalists and guitars are sublime and the sadness of the poetry of Layne Staley is almost too perfect a match! ;)

  18. Same boat here. I teach a high school drum line in the area and it is a blast. I will be headed back up to school in the fall and can't wait to start getting lessons again. There is going to be a drum set ensemble course that Music minors are allowed to be in and I am pumped. Seven drum sets!
  19. Seriously??? :blink: I think I have seen that movie over fifteen times. I know, I'm a nub :P My boyfriend saves me with his epic taste in movies (it was his recommendation). What a guy!! :thumbup:
  20. Seriously??? :blink: I think I have seen that movie over fifteen times.
  21. I want to see the Leafs win a cup. They should have never closed the Gardens.
  22. Check and mate indeed. I was hoping I would make it longer than three pages. :( edit: I want to know the 2010 census info for Blue Hill! edit 2: After some searching, I was able to find this. You are losing people every year.
