"i didn't really want a threesome with a random prostitute, but I was like I've come this far already, maybe it will help him relax...."

>The parents weren’t publicly asking for him to come home or for help in finding him. The police were asking for his safe return, not the parents.

Then why were there quotes from the mother of exactly that?

I much prefer the version they performed on Conan, because the vocal was brought forward.

>It builds up in your system because your body can’t eliminate it.

This is simply not true. A quick Google search shows that.

It's like that old Chinese saying: "I'm rubber, you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and results in 10 years confinement in a re-education camp".

"I think we can handle one little girl, I sent two units. They're bringing her down now."

"Overthinking is the biggest waste of human energy. Trust yourself, make a decision, and gain more experience. There is no such thing as perfect. You cannot think your way into perfection, just take action"

-- General George Armstrong Custer

>And no, you don't think the allies would have ignored the death camps and let Hitler carry on with his industrialised murder camps?

I don't think any of us want to know the honest answer to this question. I'm happier not knowing.

>Also very confused why a black guy named Noah Beard is running with a Mexican gang?

This video explains it.

You would think they'd be nicer to the person that selects the ingredients for their food.

>Premeditation can be established within seconds of the encounter if the police had an opportunity to de-escalate.

Under this definition, can you define a murder that would qualify as without premeditation?

They should have set the law to say that punitive damages, when awarded, can't be capped any lower than compensatory damages.

So it would have been 2 mill / 2 mill instead of 2 mill / $350K.

It's not really punitive if it's a fraction of the actual damages.

>that the fantastical and often conflicting stories of the bible aren't historically factual?

I personally believe that the conflicts are deliberate, God's message to us to be cautious in being convinced that we know his will. He could appear tomorrow and clear it all up if it was just an accident.

"A zealot does what he thinks God would do if only God had all the facts of the matter."

>if you feel like you can’t share your insights and be respected

"Of what use is a friend who can only be approached in the right way?"

One of the most valuable purposes of a friend is that they know when you're talking out of your ass. Not every comment is a Papal pronunciation and they need to know not to treat it as such.

My wife made me watch the Anderson Cooper special that year.

I even said to her "Statistically Miley Cyrus is far more likely to have a wardrobe malfunction than Anderson Cooper, we could see history being made!", but no, and then the next day I'm like "Dammit, I told you!"

Voted tonight. Our location also has paper ballots that you insert into a machine and there is still an option for a straight party ballot.

So it was never really a majority, since you can't get Democrats to all agree even with "the sun is hot".

"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat." - Will Rogers

The only time I can see this as valid is if the voter tried to vote both straight party ticket AND individual candidates.

At least in my state, you can vote straight party (although I'm not sure that's even an option anymore) or individual candidates, but you can't do both or it makes the ballot void.

Another might be if there's only 1 candidate running for a position, but even then you can still leave that position unvoted, you don't have to vote.

If I had a nickel for every time that's happened, I'd have two nickels.

I mean, that's not a lot of money but it's weird that it's happened twice, right?

Your interpretation, while once considered valid, is no longer the law of the land.

I've never believed that the collective right theory was correct, based on other writings at the time and the way it was incorporated into many state constitutions at the time.

Also note that a collective right approach would allow the civilian members of a militia to own machine guns and shoulder-fired rockets without restriction, as there would be no counter-argument to arming a militia with the same weapons available to the average full-time national soldier. I don't think many gun control advocates would be pleased with the results of a true collective rights interpretation.

I feel the problem with the NY law is no so much that it violates the 2nd Amendment (because some restrictions are legal), but that it violates the 14th Amendment by applying the 2nd in an unequal manner among state residents. Imagine if NY had a "press license" and you couldn't publish without that license and to get the license you had to prove that you were a citizen of good standing, that you'd never published anything controversial in the past, and that you had a "special need" to publish information to the public, and all of those restrictions could be bypassed if you were rich and connected with the people who issued the licenses.

>People like to ignore the words "well regulated" when fighting those trying to make permits necessary.

People like to ignore the words "the right of the people" when it comes to trying to make those permits unavailable.

Pointing at a single phrase and saying "it's so clear what it means" and ignoring subsequent SCOTUS rulings is like pointing at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and saying "See, North Korea is a democracy, it's right in the name!"

That's like calling Royal Oak "North Detroit"
