First, do you really think that someone is not going to beat the shit out of you because of a hate crime law? Is it your ignorance that they hate?
Second, if two black (for example only) people are killed - one by a white, and the other by a black, should the white be subject to tougher penalties? Get real.
Maybe, just maybe, the stock market has plummetted because people have finally realized that companies that just have ideas and not equity are not really worth anything.
**Finally, is there such thing as mandated morality?**
Ask Tipper - just had to throw that in.
Why can't people seem to understand that YOU are entitled to what YOU earn? If you earn a lot, you are entitled to it. If you earn only a little, well, you are entitled to that, as well. I thought this country was built on hard work and dedication. Hard work, in general, yields income. Unfortunately, many people think that no work should yield equal income, as well.
BTW, this comes from someone that *doesn't* make a lot of money. You know what, though? I'm improving my education (paying for it on my own, mind you) so that I can earn more. It sickens me that I am required, by law, to support people that don't give a damn about improving themselves.
"YOU DON'T GO TO SCI-FI MOVIES TO CRITICISE THEIR SCIENCE - LARGELY BECAUSE IT'S NONEXISTANT, NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF SCI-FI IT IS." I think the big beef with this flick is that they attempt to pass this crap off as real science. They use just enough truth and buzzwords to attempt to convince people that this is what the space program will be like in twenty years. When compared to a lot of sci-fi flicks, the good ones either encourage you to suspend belief (Star Wars, The Matrix) or use science as real as possible (2001). Instead, the writers of this waste of film played on the excitement of the Mars probes to quickly shove science-babble down the throats of typically ignorant moviegoers. With regard to the product placement, I wholly expected Wayne from Wayne's World to come out holding a couple of pills and say "Little. Yellow. Different." The centering in on the Dr. Pepper "future-can-thing" at the end of the picnic scene was pretty bad, too. And how's this for a plot hole: WHY DIDN'T THE STUPID ALIENS JUST FLY TO EARTH? WHY DID THEY HAVE TO GO TO A *HUGE* GALAXY MANY LIGHT YEARS AWAY? btw, I thought Tang was the official drink of the space program...what gives?

I believe that many accused war criminals were pronounced "not guilty", however, so it's clearly possible even when emotions are high.
How does this mean there were fair trials?
"You don't just walk off the street and say "I'm a lawyer" and get granted the attorney-client privilege. "
Actually, anybody can be an attorney. I don't think the phrase is "lawyer-client privilege".
"Hey so does anyone who voted for this band of criminals feel like they might have fscked up yet?"
Hmmm...good question. Are there still any Gore supporters out there to answer?
Actually, we can't be called a "true democracy" because we aren't. We are a republic.
maybe they just fail to see larry flint as the reputable source of news that he is.
