What about arresting and punishing the person who did it?  (Tuesday Dec 15 | post #1)

Cops keep TASERING PEOPLE TO DEATH.

Hate to admit it but sometimes change (or laws put into place to prevent something) don't happen until there is some blood spilled. I think many people do believe that you can tazer someone without any permanent damage, but there is always a few who take it too far (tazer too much) or its used on someone who is damaged by it. I think they'll put some laws into place on the use of tazers for law enforcement use soon, but I also firmly believe that tazers are FAR more safer than getting shot with a gun. It may not be the best thing we have right now, but its better than what it replaced.  (Thursday Dec 10 | post #29)

Cops keep TASERING PEOPLE TO DEATH.

I'd like to see exactly where in the law it is written that we don't have to do what an officer says. Believe me, I'm hoping that it is there, written in black and white, but I'm guessing that its going to be worded more something like: do what an officer tells you UNLESS it is unreasonable even then I'm thinking you are going to get on the cop's bad side, and more chance to get arrested/tazed/has sled especially if they are in a bad mood. They are human, and every human has their bad days.  (Wednesday Dec 9 | post #15)

Jury finds dancer's constitutional rights were violated

Yup, clear violation and I'm glad the police officers were found to be in the wrong, but as someone else said, what now? They are free to continue making mistakes like this? We as a people shouldn't stand for this. I don't support the airports doing this as well, and I protest the only way that I can: I don't fly unless there is absolutely no other way to get to my destination.  (Wednesday Dec 9 | post #62)

Seals Being Prosecuted for Terrorist Bloody LIp

I was thinking the UCMJ might not even apply to this prisoner but: 802. ART. 2. PERSONS SUBJECT TO THIS CHAPTER (a) The following persons are subject to this chapter: ... skipping a bunch of stuff... (9) Prisoners of war in custody of the armed forces. Now, I guess I'm just finding that hard to believe. Again, we follow rules, our enemies follow none (guess they are supposed to follow Geneva convention rules). This is a sure recipe for losing this war, or at the very least making it a whole lot harder and far more costly than it should be. I believe that war should be the last resort, but if we DO go to war, we go to win.  (Wednesday Dec 9 | post #33)

Why are Women more intelligent than Men?

I've seen idiots on both sides of the gender fence, and yes, that even included times when I've been an idiot as well. Otherwise, I'd say the answer lies in genetics; typically, men are big and strong, they don't need to "think" their way out of trouble. Most women don't have the size/strength luxury and need to use their smarts to get of the same trouble. In that case, it becomes a case of the muscle you use the most gets developed more: men: physical, women: mental.  (Monday Dec 7 | post #2)

Last-minute changes in Holm fight turns victorious

Darn double posts, sorry about that. I would suspect that, at the very least, she has lost the support of the promoter who set it up. What good is being a fighter if nobody wants to promote you? And what promoter would want to set up a fight, waste their time and money, on a fighter that doesn't show up? Thats the situation she is in, at least in this area. Thats only a guess though, perhaps this was some sort of stunt to promote herself in some way.  (Monday Dec 7 | post #6)

No matter what, anyone talking smack should defend what they say. Hernandez just made herself look pathetic.  (Monday Dec 7 | post #3)

Seals Being Prosecuted for Terrorist Bloody LIp

Seems to me we should follow the rules concerning how we treat the enemy and rules of engagement only if the other side follows the same rules. They don't follow any rules, we shouldn't have to either when dealing with them.  (Monday Dec 7 | post #24)

How important is sex in a relationship?

I read somewhere, or saw a documentary, that one of the things that gets couples through some of the hardest times together is sex. The way it was explained was after childbirth, when they are having to deal with all the waking up, crying, screaming, clean up poop, etc. the sex they have brings them closer together. They are able to deal with all the extra stress of having a newborn. It works for that, so it probably keeps working for other things further into the relationship. Something having to do with the chemicals that are released when couples have sex.  (Nov 24, 2009 | post #246)

Fort Hood Shooter is a Terrorist

There are a lot of other countries that require military service from their citizens, and if we were to institute that same requirement here in the US (say, a minimum 2 yr service, unless going to college, etc.) then I think we'd see a lot less people getting into trouble during their early years. They either get busy and go to school, or get busy and go learn a trade in the military. I'd also be very open to having people from outside our country, voluntarily join our military, serve their obligated time, and get an additional reward of being made a citizen, but I think 8-10 years would be more in line as an obligation, as they are getting a lifetime benefit in return.  (Nov 18, 2009 | post #280)

I'll agree that there is no way to get an accurate account of what happened from most media these days.  (Nov 10, 2009 | post #4)
