Sure, just out of curiosity alone

I don't care for it now as an adult, but it was the best fucking thing ever as a kid, so still 10/10.

Sucks that adults can't trick or treat, that never stopped being enjoyable to me...I like walking at night and I like candy...
But it's not "socially acceptable" meh.

I knew I had to quit in high school when a cop stopped me, searched my bag for stuff like eggs or silly string, and was perplexed that no...I actually was just trick or treating, at my age.

Voted that I don't even drink, but...
Technically tried it twice as a teenager, at the prompting of my parents. Both times were awful and I ended up spitting most of it back out.

Sure, she's always seemed pretty chill.

whatever lets me attack more often or hit harder (if both are an option, I prefer the former slightly to the latter).

Offense is the best defense. Enemies can't hurt you when they're dead.

Yes! They had a lot of shows I really enjoyed.

Some of my favorites:
Unhappily Ever After (my favorite show of all time)
Special Unit 2
Off Centre
Nikki
Seven Days
Secret Agent Man
Star Trek Voyager
Grosse Pointe

CW seems to just be garbage.

Read about an aircraft maintenance worker being sucked into a jet engine once, and "what was left of him" afterwards....

*squick*

It's still Rush Limbaugh

So are you for baby murder or against baby murder. Ask it the way it really is and see how the replies are.

Considering those who are against abortion won't get one whether it's legal or not, and those who don't want a kid will seek one out whether it's legal or not, the real question should be:

Are you pro-choice or pro-coat hanger?

Hopefully they get locked up the full 15 years.

If they're free, they're just going to keep popping out kids that will either die due to their contempt for medical science, or be taken away by the state and become a taxpayer burden.

Also legal terms are often strange to me. What makes their act "involuntary" manslaughter? It was quite deliberate manslaughter...

Not saying the white dude isnt a cowardly piece of shit but it's well known that some cowardly people are more willing to draw a gun than they are to fight with their hands

No one's saying what the victim did was wise.
But he didn't deserve to be shot for it, and there was zero self-defense need to do so. Someone posted a story about a prior incident w/ this whacko at the same store. Dude has an extremely short fuse and has no problem quickly threatening to use his gun if not outright drawing it.
This was murder, and he should go to jail for it.

Should he really be considered famed when he couldn't even get psycho George Zimmerman convicted?

lolwut? Trayvon beats the guy into the ground because he was following him on a public street -- choosing to confront that guy even after making it to safety himself -- and Zimmerman is the psycho?

Trayvon confronted a creepy older dude stalking him who turned out to be armed, and who the actual authorities had already told to STOP stalking the kid. Apparently he isn't allowed to defend himself, though, only George is.
As for who even initiated the physical altercation, we only have the killer's story, b/c he murdered the only other witness. We know he got his ass kicked, doesn't mean for sure that he was struck first.

There's already laws to protect someone who is legitimately defending himself/herself. The whole point of SYG is to get away w/ opening fire in other situations.

...there are laws to protect people legitimately defending themselves and those laws are fucking called SYG. SYG exists because the default principle tends to be Duty to Retreat, which gets victims killed before they can legally defend themselves.

Yeah, if you don't live in a SYG state and someone assaults you and you fight back, you're legally screwed.
I bet you actually think that.

anytime you shoot someone in the back it's murder
any time, unless they're in your living room

Except obviously not, considering they could be attacking your partner or child among other examples. But hey, I guess guys who have killed mass shooters and saved lives in the process are murderers in your book.

Yeah, that was a bad, overly broad statement. There are times where someone's an imminent threat to another person's life where it'd be justifiable to shoot him/her in the back to save lives.

This was absolutely not such an instance, though.

No, because "Caucasian" isn't an offensive word for white people.

Redskin is an offensive term for Native Americans. It's a really poor analogy he's got going there. Could have at least gone with "White Skins" which still is not offensive but at least sounds like a crappier way to describe a group of people.

But if people are throwing a fit over such a benign shirt, I guess he proved his point quite well.

This is not what the "Stand Your Ground" law is about.

Actually, it's exactly what it's about.

There's already laws to protect someone who is legitimately defending himself/herself. The whole point of SYG is to get away w/ opening fire in other situations.
Even if you initiate the confrontation and get physical w/ the other person first, the moment that the other person responds with any sort of aggression, SYG says it's a-ok to immediately grab your gun and shoot.

SYG is a bad law that is working exactly as intended.

Benjamin Crump, a famed civil rights lawyer however said that this was "cold blooded murder" and that the only reason Drejka hasn't been arrested is becaues he was WHITE and says he was AFRAID!! He also represented the family of Trayvon Martin as he brings up the case that black men who are shot and killed are always seen as "violent" to people.

Should he really be considered famed when he couldn't even get psycho George Zimmerman convicted?
I mean, I blame the jury and the police handling of the case more than him, but still. What successes has he had?

Full Throttle posted...

When Markeis saw his gun he starts walking away and Michael SHOOTS at him from behind and KEEPS shooting at him as he runs back to the convenience store where he eventually dies from his gunshot wounds.

If this were any other state besides Florida (or maybe also Texas), you'd figure all the gun shot wounds entering from the back of the victim would be sufficient to shut the door on supposed "self defense" claims. But it is Florida, so...dude's gonna get away w/ it.

Democrats immediately dropped it to try and convince some Republicans to join in voting for the bill.
Then Republicans refused to anyway.

Democrats are spineless and really quick to seek defeat, you see. Hell, the "Blue wave" hasn't even occurred yet, if it will....and I already see headlines like, "Will Democrats even be able to change anything if they win control of Congress?"
It's just pathetic how readily they'll give up.

Sure.
But I would never accept a drink he offered me. Just to be safe...

Le Ali Del Principio (The Wings of Principle) - the true final boss theme of Baten Kaitos Origins

First game was better in almost every way, but the final boss theme from NoA2 was pretty good.

The whole concept was just dumb from the start. Didn't even know what they were about until the financial issues caught up w/ them. I assumed it was some service at the theater or even move-producer level where they have you pay a subscription to view however many movies you want.

But it's not. It's some yahoos paying the same full price we all do and just acting as a middle man to give the tickets to people paying them a subscription! They only make money if the subscribers barely see any movies, but then said people wouldn't be a subscriber. Movie tickets are ridiculously expensive. Such an idea was doomed to fail from the start, and anyone w/ half a brain could have noticed that.

I guess it was nice for frequent movie-goers (I am not such a person) to milk the idiots at movie pass for a while until reality caught up. Good for them, I guess.

We are owned by one cat.

Always the man's fault, lol

It's better than what happens far too often where the wife cheats and still gets an alimony and child support payment from the settlement.
Voted yes, though I think the financial burden should be levied on the cheating spouse (as it is in divorce court when it's a guy cheating on his wife, ah double standards!), not the one they're having the affair with. That person never made any vows, and scummy though it is, I think it's far more the responsibility of the married person to not cheat.

The lady's lawyer paints a picture of a crappy marriage. So divorce if you don't like it. Don't just use it as an excuse to have an affair.

When Danielle took the stand she said SHE pursued Francisco and that her marriage was an unhappy one from the outset

So yeah, in this case definitely more her fault than Francisco's. The court decision should've been that she gets little in the divorce and has to pay Keith alimony. But, she's a woman, so that was never happening...

One save file, but when I get to a point where I need to make a decision for the plot, I'll usually make a new save just in case it turns out to be a poor decision...

Yes, though she uses way too much make up.

Agreed, employee should keep her job, she was assaulted and just fought back.

So, if she only got a free water cup, where'd she get the food she threw at the employee? Did she just grab stuff from random customers and throw it? Charge her w/ theft for each customer she did that too as well, then.

So... he made a fairly tame joke, and twits on twitter are blowing it out of proportion? You don't say!

Such an American thing, to be so fat and lazy that you're no longer even willing to make the trivial effort to go out and get your own conveniently prepackaged food from the facility that exists for the specific purpose of gathering all your nutritional needs into a single location.

Exception for people who are actually disabled and need the assistance, of course

Your whine reeks of envy.

It was a rib, not a whine.
I have the option to get grocery delivery, too.

I prefer going to the store and picking out my own produce, meats, etc...
I guess the delivery is a good thing, though. Less people in the store.

Why? I hear about all her daily experiences on here already anyway.

Barely.

Fair enough, let me amend that statement to:

I already hear more than enough about her daily experiences on here already anyway.

Well, the only way they would ever encounter each other is if it's in TWP's parents' basement, so TWP has the homefield/terrain advantage.

But still going w/ Mudcrap.

TWP successfully draws in Mudcrap from one direction then dashes the other way, trying to flee up the stairs. However, being the most physical exercise TWP has gotten in years he almost immediately becomes winded. That, combined with not being used to actually exiting the basement, leads to him tripping on the stairs and landing face-first, knocking himself out.

Still as true today as it was 20 years ago

*Looks at poll results*

So, uh...on a totally unrelated note, I really hate handshakes as a greeting and wish it'd be replaced by fist bumping or bowing or such.

Bleh, I was rooting for the tariffs so the stock market would finally have a big correction that's overdue and i could finally start investing.
Oh well, shouldn't be more than a few more years at most before the house of cards collapses anyway.

Poll questions like this make me wish gamefaqs had a poll option to reveal the IDs of who voted for each option, so the non-hand washers could unwittingly out themselves.

But then they either wouldn't vote or would lie. Well, some probably would...

But some would vote w/o realizing the poll was set up as such, falling into TC's trap.

Wouldn't catch all the non-washers, but it'd still out a fair number of them.

Violent Storm

Another great one.

Sure, why not?

Whatever weight you can get 8-12 reps with. The weight won't be the same for every exercise.
When in doubt between two weights of dumbbells and what you can do 8-12 reps with, start w/ the lighter one.
Whenever you can easily do three sets of 12+ with a given weight, it might be time to consider going up 5 lbs.

It's bizarre how they think they can get away with this shit just because a racist is president.

Well, it's really a matter of whether or not this was a Stand Your Ground state. He murdered the only other witness to the act, so he is the only one who gets to provide testimony about what happened and as long as the forensics doesn't clearly disprove his claims, he's off the hook. If it's a SYG state.

But Kidwell's family said he has a history of violence of targeting victims because of their race and spent 15 YEARS in Prison for assault and sexual assault stemming from 2011.

How'd he spend 15 years in prison for a crime committed in 2011?

3. I would, if I drank alcohol
4. I wouldn't, even if I drank alcohol
