You'll probably need to get a 4-year degree before going to law school.

Lmao! Crime city has gone from just something to do after school to something I do in every other class. It got pretty bad.
If I was your mommy, I would have taken your phone away by now, heh.
If my mom knew I was in a chat of 60 people double my age she would've taken it away how long ago. Lmao

Cleaning out my inbox and having some fun reading old messages... Here's one I sent to CJ back in 2012 or so that MUST have been referring to something I said to lupo.
"Out of curiosity, what language were you warning me about? ********, ********, or *******? [Redacted because our current moderators are too squeamish] At some point, when an idiot keeps posting on everyone's wall about how he's banging them ten times from behind, linguistic accuracy starts to bump up against good taste. I don't think anything I said crossed the line."
Good times.
Heh... I sent a PM suggesting that Koralene name her custom-named item the "Wagon Burner."
lol, that name still makes me shudder. :p
Man, I miss that guy. Best liked villain on the forums; he'd pop a joke at one member and pop a cap in the other in the same breath. Plus, who could argue with sharktopus?Quote:

General makes my brain hurt today.
I am enjoying the yo mama jokes. Good call on that one.
Ugh... I hate days when huge supreme court decisions come down. I don't get any work done :)
Aww. I got an infraction point for the yo mama jokes. :(
Folks in Texas are going nuts with today's decision.Quote:

The truth hurts sometimes. :)
So does the damage being done to the Constitution.
I'd ask, 'What damage?' but it's probably political so I won't ask.
I'd rather call it "legal." I'm kind of an expert on Constitutional law... read Kennedy's decision and then read Roberts' dissent. One of them is based on the text of the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent... one of them isn't. See if you can tell which is which.
And to answer your question, we have a system of law in the United States that gives authority to precedent. This decision literally says that the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment created a "right" to whatever 5 members of the Supreme Court say it does. If a law can mean anything, then it really means nothing. That's what I mean by damage to the Constitution.
*sigh*
I just wanted to post... hunters like Dr. Palmer disgust me.
I hope he rots on earth for a very long time.
You dislike hunters, you dislike big game hunters, or you're only offended because someone claims to have named this one?
I'm more offended by the death threats he's received.
Hunting & hunters don't offend me.
Death threats don't offend me, either.
Just hate hearing about it, named or not.
I don't understand people like him who hunt protected or endangered species for trophies.
*Edit: African Lions are not labeled as protected or endangered by USDA/F&W.
Excuses only work for the person making them.
Dr. Palmer knew exactly what he was doing. He's getting what he deserves. Karma is a b!tch and so is the court of public opinion.
I'm pretty sure African lions aren't endangered, and hunting them is legal in Zimbabwe. Also, he was following the law and had hired guides. What do you expect of him?
Oh yeah... It's about the hunting. Just admit it.
edit: Nope, they're not.
lol, cha! I might have an issue with hunters. I've never met a smart one.
Thinking that one is following the law and actually following the law can be 2 different things.
Topping that, he's been prosecuted for poaching before. He said the same thing in 2006: he thought it was a legal kill. He knew what he was doing and shouldn't blame his guides.
Whatever you say. I doubt you get this upset about someone fishing out of season. If you were offended by law violations, death threats count. Just admit you're reacting emotionally because you like lions. Take a deep breath and find a little perspective.
Not like I care either way, but I'm just doing my best to halt the great internet hate machine one person at a time.
I'm most offended at his excuses. Too many claim, "It's not my fault." I call BS.
(Actually, I have gotten upset about that, and they never got to fish at my lake again.)
Who'd have guessed you'd light a path to my serenity? Thanks. :)
*takes a deep breath* I'm over it.
Np. I don't care for trophy hunting either.
I'm not sure if anyone else will find this as amusing as I do, but this is too good not to share:
Over in Williamson County, Tennessee — just north of my home — prosecutors actually filed a motion asking the court to order a defense attorney to stop calling them “the government” in open court. Yes, that’s right — in my home state, it’s apparently now a slur to call the government by its name. In its motion, prosecutors claimed: “The State has noticed in the past few years that it has become commonplace during trials for attorneys for defendants, and especially Mr. Justice, to refer to State’s attorneys as ‘the Government,’ ” [prosecutors wrote.] “The State believes that such a reference is used in a derogatory way and is meant to make the State’s attorney seem oppressive and to inflame the jury.”
This is a great little story by itself, but then the defense attorney, Drew Justice, went and committed an act of pure awesomeness. He filed a motion with his own request: He demanded his client no longer be referred to as “the Defendant,” but instead be called “Mister,” “the Citizen Accused” or “that innocent man” — since all defendants are presumed innocent until a judge or jury finds them guilty. As for himself, clearly “lawyer” or “defense attorney” wouldn’t do him, well, justice. “Rather, counsel for the Citizen Accused should be referred to primarily as the ‘Defender of the Innocent.’ … Alternatively, counsel would also accept the designation ‘Guardian of the Realm,’ ” Justice wrote.
And since prosecutors are often referred to formally as “General” in court, Justice, in an effort to be flexible, offered up a military title of his own. “Whenever addressed by name, the name ‘Captain Justice’ will be appropriate.” Gathering steam, he went on to say that even “the defense” wasn’t adequate and that “the Resistance” would be far more appropriate. He then concluded his motion, returning to the formal language of court documents — sort of. “WHEREFORE, Captain Justice, Guardian of the Realm and Leader of the Resistance, primarily asks that the Court deny the State’s motion, as lacking legal basis.”
According to Captain Justice, the court denied both motions. So the government is still the “government,” but Captain Justice, Guardian of the Realm, lives on in print – but not in court. Well done, Captain. You’ve made the Tennessee Bar proud.
Woah Dippy is still around :D
Yep. I finally beat the indians too.
Wow, Ghost showed up! Hi!
That's hilarious, Dipstik. "Drew Justice" sounds like a made-up name for an attorney anyway, but apparently that wasn't grand enough for Captain Justice, Guardian of the Realm, heh.
I thought for sure that hunting story was about a guy I work with. Several years ago he was in the news here talking about the giraffe he had recently bagged, needless to say that drew some unwanted attention. For the next year or so some animal rights folks slashed all four tires on his car every time they found it. Five sets of tires later it seems they felt they achieved the proper amount of retribution for the animals and left him alone. It didn't do enough to change his mind on hunting as he just returned last week from big game trip.
Did they catch the hippies?
