Your use of satire, assuming that's what it is, is impressive.

Don't worry, it's way down. Was 315 an issue?

pokethebear, I thought your account was a pretty solid depiction. It's really sad to me that a small group of people on both sides of this (the cops who will now stand trial and the rioters and arsonists) are being portrayed as the representatives of their cultures. The noisy, disruptive minority always seem to overshadow the rational, good people in every group, be it political, religious, cultural, ethnic, or any other group.

famousone, I too was wondering if mrclever understands that word for a couple of reasons. The main reason being the following excerpt, "So in protest, most have taken to the streets to get the word out about what's going on in these supposedly trustworthy police stations, and have been assaulted by police in riot gear to stop. Some of the protests are peaceful, and some are not." I was not aware that setting buildings on fire then cutting the fire hoses was considered getting the word out.
I'm not psychic, but I am entirely certain that mrclever would feel differently if that was his home or business being used to "get the word out". Sorry for the novel!

I'm one of those people that gets on board with the villain, I guess. Not sure why that corrected to children the first time around...

Jello is amazing and I love it! After have nothing to eat after 4 pm the day before surgery and nothing really solid to eat in the hospital for 3 days afterward made me hateful even toward that jiggly fabulousness though.

Some states have stand your ground laws or castle doctrines that say just that. But that typically refers to an intruder or threat within your home or private property.

Also, freedom of speech is a right and people are always free to disagree with someone's opinion. Violent retaliation against someone whose words offend you, no matter how vulgar, is illegal. Threatening to sodomize someone whose words offend you doesn't prove a point, and in many places such a threat is in fact criminal behavior, which completely defeats the intended purpose. But the second part here is just my musings, the first part is the relevant reply!

Stumbled onto this and have to add:
Q: Why did the dead baby cross the road?
A: Because it was stapled to the chicken.

That actually made me feel a little better, men turn me into a socially awkward nerd that babbles about books and produce. True story: I once spent the majority of a first date rambling about how excited I was to find pineapples for $2 at a local farmers market.

Leagues aside, I'm content to admire attractive men from afar and spend my nights with my books. Unless I meet an attractive man that runs a roadside vegetable stand, that is.

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

No, actually deadpool is quite right. There's a big difference between most felons and pedophiles. You can rarely rehabilitate a pedophile, they're reoffenders. I do not tend to believe in permanently removing people from society, but some people just cannot be let loose in the general public. I personally KNEW a man that sexually assaulted his toddler son, and because of laws protecting felons got out of prison, moved 1,200 miles away and then raped his 3 year old daughter. He fucked a 3 year old. Some people should NEVER be allowed to merge into the general population. If he had been branded maybe his daughter should have been spared.

I'll take my elephants where I can get them. The elephant in MY room is missing an ear, so I'll enjoy this fully intact elephant for the nonce.
