Is that something you don't want to discuss?
Maybe I'm just tired, but all I see in your post is "blah blah blah government blah blah blah government blah". Just ask me some other time.
I'm somewhat disappointed in that response, but that's your call if you're too tired to discuss your issue.

Since the other topic, is meant to be about racism apparently.
Tell me MyTie, why shouldn't he be charged for ending the life of another human being?Because self defense is a plausible defense.What about Martin's right? I mean, being pursued at night by a stranger; he had just as much right to self-defense as Zimmerman did....hell, more so, since Martin wasn't armed and was merely going about his business; Zimmerman instigated this, by chasing after a person who 'shouldn't be in there'.

Clearly whoever killed whom is in the right.
Yeah, I imagine it's hard to build up a defence while dead.

Not wanting to fund contraception for other people makes me
a dictator over their vaginas
? There came a point in these people's lives where they opened the window, and threw all common sense out.
Can I make up stuff? Can I get away with that? I need a new car. Buy it for me or you are just trying to take over my penis, you penis mongering dictators! You want my penis! You rapists! You all are just like Limbaugh. Also, this is just like everyone who is also liberal, and all Democrats, and everyone who doesn't think like me. Also racists. Racist rapists.
Can I get away with that too? Keep in mind that if you disagree with me, you aren't being very tolerant of my opinion.
Lol

I love how the more ridiculous the statement, the more press it's going to get and the more representative of the other side people feel it is. It can't be a discussion of pro's and cons, reasoning between normal people. It turns into "She's a **** **** **** who wants us to pay her to take it in the *** *** ***" vs. "They're raping us with their legislation and our wallets," and no one can take the other side seriously anymore. It's no wonder no one ever comes to a bipartisan agreement on anything anymore.

Honestly, some of the criticism people are making about the film adaptation is just ridiculous. First off the cast is "too black", and now they're "too fat".
I understand where some of the criticism is coming from - District 12 is portrayed as impoverished, with people dying of starvation quite frequently, and while Katniss is skinny because of this, I don't think you can expect Jennifer to go yo-yo dieting for the role. Furthermore, Katniss is actually one of the
less
skinny Seam (poorer area of the district) kids around, seeing as she hunts and trades and is very rarely struggling for food, which justifies her not being a size zero, if people need that justification.

I saw Matt Damon in a movie with Densdel Washington and Meg Ryan. He was playing the part of a drugee and he looked scrawny and sickly. They did a great job making him look the part. I don't know if he had to lose weight for it, but it looked like he did. Also I remember reading that they had that white fat guy gain weight for the movie "cool runnings". I remember being appalled by that.

Man arrested
for "preaching to a captive audience". Was he Biblically correct? I don't know. Was this annoying? Probably. Was it a crime? No.Interstingly MyTie, your description of the way your fire department works sounds like the epitome of socialism to me. "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." I believe in that principle. I'm a volunteer for the local cave rescue, and the local lifeboat service for that very reason. If somebody started to make a profit from the service, I'd have a problem: money vs people. It creates a conflict of interests. I feel the same about healthcare. It is a basic right, not a privelige, given the affluent societies that we both live in.
No one is taking from me anything. I have volunteered it. This hasn't come from a government organization, but from a community member to his community. There is no mandate. There is no law. There is simply giving.
Besides, I feel that socialism works, even communism works, in very small communities. But me volunteering at the local fire department? Socialism? I don't see it.

Also, new video has appeared in regards to the Martin/Zimmerman case: They show Zimmerman in police custody....with no injuries on him....wasn't his big justification that Martin attacked him and hit him repeatedly in the face?

In the racism thread I pointed out the talent that people like you posses. Being able to detect and diagnose injury without a medical degree, over a scratchy CCTV video. Most impressive.

Not just me; the news outlets are mentioning it as well.

Don't be modest! Just because the news media has the talent of long range scratchy video injury diagnosis, doesn't mean you shouldn't be commended for your abilities as well!

How much time passed? He might have healed it off...
Not that long, was the same night. He could have cleaned the blood off the exterior of his skin, and the swelling might not have started yet.
Wait, what am I saying. We have Adamsm here. He knows all about this. Listen to him.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Play nice.

/roll eyes Whatever MyTie. I still don't buy that Zimmerman was attacked, even leaving aside any racial profiling; it's not like elitists don't exist out there, especially in regards to the gated community types.
