3618 More things that jerk my chain

Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.
-- Thomas Jefferson --

Hey lady, if I can see the underside of your breast, that V-neck is too low.

Some guy on the radio was saying that Islamists are trying to make Sharia blasphemy laws international, and that this is a very wrong thing, very bad, because it conflicts with the cultures of other countries.

How can that be bad when using armies to internationalize democracy and our theories on human rights, regardless of the culture of the other countries, is "good"?

Goose/gander?  Pot/kettle?  Is something inherently good and should be forced on others because we like it and think others should like it, too, and is something bad just because we don't like it and don't want it forced on us?  Is that really the criteria?  How are they not the same degree of good/bad?


I don't understand.

How come whenever I see women's shoe commercials on TV, there's always a good half inch of space between the back of the model's heel and the back of the shoe?  Those shoes don't fit!  They're a least two sizes too big!

Then again, I see a lot of women on the street with their toes hanging over the front of open-toed shoes and sandals.  Those shoes are at least a size or two too small.

I guess at least that goes with the current fashion of wearing clothing a size or two too small.  Hey lady, when you have horizontal wrinkles across the front and back of your skirt, and it creeps up your legs when you walk, that skirt is just plain TOO TIGHT!  It doesn't fit you!

Get off my lawn!

3165 Off with their heads!

"What is life? It's a way of keeping meat fresh."
-- Doctor Who --

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me see if I've got this right. They tried a Guantanamo terrorism suspect in civilian court, and although he was found guilty of conspiracy charges that will keep him in jail for life, he was not found guilty of the most serious murder charges.

So people are saying that this therefore proves trying terrorists in civilian court won't work - they should be tried in military court?

I don't get it. Are they saying that prosecutors should shop around for a court guaranteed to convict? What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? What happened to "fair trial"? What happened to having a trial at all? It sounds to me that a lot of people want to simply punish whether there's evidence of guilt or not. Mock trial. Off with their heads.

Why not just execute them all and stop hypocritically trying to make it look fair and legal?

Those people scare me. They are terrorists, too. They just pretend to be civilized and take a longer time getting around to killing people they don't like, which is scary because it's coldly crafted, not an act of passion.

3012 Cynical?

"Some things have to be believed to be seen."
-- Ralph Hodgson --

Bristol Palin: "But I think abstinence is, like -- like, the -- I don't know how to put it -- like, the main -- everyone should be abstinent or whatever, but it's not realistic at all.... because it's more and more accepted now." - from the February 16, 2009, FOX episode of "On the Record".

She is now the Teen Abstinence Ambassador for the Candie’s Foundation, getting around $25,000 for each speaking engagement. I wonder if the money had any influence on her opinion of how realistic abstinence is, or if she's just being hypocritical. I'd be more comfortable if she were speaking just in exchange for travel costs, in the belief that maybe she could help to change that "accepted now".

Either way, it's more than a bit patronizing for someone who has used her pregnancy as a springboard into a television and speaking career to lecture others on how teen sex can ruin their chances in life.
