    Man 30 years on death row freed

    Not now - they can't rule anything in or out, now, due to deterioration, maybe? Missing evidence? the bullets/fragments from the scene] - but an expert 16 years ago said the bullets found at the crime scene didn't come from that gun. No word on the prosecutor who said they did.....:(

    FedEx back in the news...

    Do you think their loved ones death would be easier to accept if they knew who to 'blame'? They may say so, and they may even believe it, until they find out it doesn't. Nothing does, or can.

    May plain and simple..

    I never have - besides the crowding [at times], I'd rather leave it where someone is keeping an eye on it. I've got permission to park in my niece's driveway [Wellington, Ohio], the lot for Big 3 Racing {Brunswick, Ohio] and Darlington, SC. That about covers my needs, so far. :)

    May plain and simple..

    So, no vacay for you, eh? Or, it just has to be someplace with a ferry, lol. I understand - when away from the truck, we worry about breakins & theft, till we don't much enjoy the getaway. It really helps to find a secure parking place - I'm up to 3 now. [4 if you count the yard.] What does...

    No boys, no girls

    I gather that being 'gender fluid' is just bisexual, when it's at home with it's feet up, lol. New name, same old people. We've long known that every person is a mix of male/female traits, so it's just a new way of saying it, far as I can tell. People can claim they identify with neither gender...

    Man 30 years on death row freed

    Once I read the article, the evidence on the gun was -[ forgive me], the smoking gun, [dammit!]:banghead: The timecard doesn't really prove he was at work, but the gun proves he didn't shoot the victim. It's shocking that such shoddy standards were enough to put someone on Death Row, absolutely...

    Man 30 years on death row freed

    If you disagree with me, fine - but do me the courtesy of refraining from patronizing and dismissing my opinions, or responding with such utter absurdities as the above. A fetus is not a baby, period. The [ever present] adjective "innocent" is wrong as well. Not because a fetus isn't, but...

    No boys, no girls

    Sorry, Ari, but it's not radical, it just feels that way to those who don't want it. I bet women's suffrage felt radical, too, to the men [and women] who thought it was a terrible step to take. And again, religion informed their judgement - women aren't treated as equal to men in the Bible, nor...

    Man 30 years on death row freed

    I understand: if someone is convicted, they're guilty, and they deserve to die. A fetus is a baby. A woman's right to self determination depends upon someone else's moral judgement. [And it's not her doctor, or anyone involved in or knowledgeable about the circumstances, either]. That's how it...

    No boys, no girls

    Dude, you're seriously hyperventilating - maybe some yoga would help? Societies change, that's their nature. Conservatives dislike change, that's their nature - but it generally works out ok, once we get used to it. The world won't end if gays get married, really. Was it 'radical' when women...

    Don't make me start a poll, lol. :eek:

    Religious discrimination

    Exactly. But the comment I objected to said "don't get arrested for something as stupid and lazy as not renewing your drivers license." I wasn't stupid or lazy when I forgot to renew mine, [long before I had a CDL], I simply forgot that expired that year, when it didn't the other 5. Why she...

    No boys, no girls

    My daughters went through school in the 80s & 90s, and heard not a single word about bullying. Gay, queer, :censoredsign:got - those were the most potent slurs, [or affectionate terms, as ':censoredsign:' is today, among girlfriends], and no student dared to "come out" back then. Now that they have, the suicide rate...

    Man 30 years on death row freed

    That "life is sacred" isn't reason enough? Tell us all the reasons why it's ok to kill another human sometimes - but only when some people say it's acceptable.

    Man 30 years on death row freed

    Um, if that's the whole defense, no, it isn't. Who says he clocked himself in? And remained until he clocked himself out? I didn't read the article, just pointing out that a stamped time card proves someone stamped it, but that's all.

    Religious discrimination

    I knew people who support religious rights wouldn't be so supportive, when the religion in question isn't theirs. An expired license isn't sufficient cause in and of itself for an arrest warrant, anyway so the last comment was just plain old ugliness.

    Here We Go Again

    The case Turtle linked to is a classic example of what happens when cops overreact to an assumption that turns out to have been wrong. The victims were in a car that backfired as it passed a police station, and a cop reported over his radio that they shot at the station. On no more evidence than...

    Religious discrimination

    Hey - I once forgot to renew mine. And found out a week later, when I inadvertently ran a red light [it was just before Christmas, at the mall, I thought it was one of the decorative lights, on a pole, lol]. So I thought I'd just ask the judge if he/she knew without checking when their license...

    FedEx back in the news...

    So the ultimate answer is "We don't know", but numerous people [including the grandmother of one victim, and one driver here] feel confident in saying it was the driver's fault? It's hard to accept 'we don't know', but sometimes, that's the only answer we're going to get. Assigning blame based...

    Truck Speed Limiter Mandate is Progressing

    Whatever speed you drive, there's nothing that says 65 is enough to escape trouble, either, and I'd prefer to have the option, if & when I need it. But then, I'd prefer to drive when I feel rested, and rest when I don't, and they sure don't care about that. Needed a 30 minute break yesterday...
