Personally I'd rather read a detailed, if flawed piece with some journalistic integrity rather than 200 sound bites to try and get a rounded view. I've never really subscribed to that, probably because I am an old codger. Anyway, trying to be on topic i'd say that the time he's spent on death row is punishment enough. --- Post Update --- No, not really, people jump from a specific place on a cliff at the quarry I mentioned, that is 74 feet from the top of the water, men and women do this all of the time, all summer. I think being prepared for the jump makes it decidedly more survivable. |

I don't want to pick on DangerMoose here, because loads of people are the same, but... He doesn't want to get nailed down so he's left it totally open-ended by saying i read from a bazillion sources. No matter what source you or I post, It will always be shat all over (unless it's the New Yorker). And for some reason, naming your source on Futuremark is of upmost importance, because we can't be trusted to speak from our own minds based on what we read. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/blink...iensexist.html |

Yet, I imagine, if you are a girl that was just raped, it is dark, and you are not a cliff jumper, a 75 foot drop into nothing (from her perspective) is death. |

Holy ****, Quad! Funnily enough, people around here who beleive in UFO sightings wouldnt be mocked at all. Yet those who beleive they're likely to be spy drones or blimps definitely would be. --- Post Update --- Not to mention, purposefully jumping 75 feet is a lot different than being thrown off at that height. That alone could make all the difference. |

I dunno man, I'm more likely to believe that aliens from outer space are visiting us than to believe that the government that gave us the patriot act and murders a guy in another country cuz he's a terririst is going to spy on people. All governments monitor their people, at least as far as they can, and many monitor people from other countries too. It would be absurd to think otherwise. The question really is, so f-ing what? |

Hang on, you don't think the government monitors its own people? The question really is, so f-ing what? Because America was founded on certain principles, and we'd like to think that our nation can rise above such things. Realistically it'll never happen, ever, because that's just human nature. |

I was being sarcastic. Warrant-less wire tapping, the recent Goldman Sachs decision, etc. Absolutely 0 faith in the government anymore. Time and time again they've failed us. Because America was founded on certain principles, and we'd like to think that our nation can rise above such things. Realistically it'll never happen, ever, because that's just human nature. I completely agree, but I guess I am past my rage against the machine days or believing that any of the founding principles of the great civilizations actually means anything, or ever did. I mean, I am more likely to believe Tom Cruise is an alien sent to save us, than a bunch of rich guys actually overthrew a monarchy so ordinary people could be free and as rich as they were. ![]() |

And for some reason, naming your source on Futuremark is of upmost importance, because we can't be trusted to speak from our own minds based on what we read. I only bother to look at multiple sources for anything important. I will always rely on The Sun for Halle Berry's bra size information. I think you'll find that when it comes to the news, Guardian readers will agree with Guardian readers, Daily Fail readers will agree with Daily Fail readers etc etc. Newspapers are just a commercialised version of politics in my opinion so the views of the readers are always polarised and argued to the death. That being said...infowars. Come on man, you can do a bit better than that, can't you? |

Yeah, so f-ing what. But like RainWind said, it's the principle.
--- Post Update --- Woah, woah, WOAH! Ok, infowars.... I find Alex Jones entertaining. Whether that's all it is or not I hardly care. I look at the website and I see articles of news, allmost exclusively anti NWO stuff at the moment I suppose, but at least the articles are based on actual events and facts. Even though they are often expanded upon to a degree. I don't know why I defend it though really, we can all make our own minds up. |
