Why it is socially required to speak nothing but positive words of the recently deceased even if you didn't give a rat's ass about them when they were alive. It should be more encouraged to speak positively of the living considering your kind words can still have an actual effect. Why some people treat sports like a life or death matter. Why alcohol is legal and marijuana isn't (at least not in a majority of states). Why some guys refuse to fuck a woman up the ass "because it feels gay", yet they have no problem getting a blowjob from said woman. Last time I checked, gay guys do that too. How Nickelback can get such extreme reactions out of people positively OR negatively when I see nothing about their music that stands out. Why so many people feel the need to align themselves unconditionally with a political party rather than looking at one issue at a time. How people can be willing to spend ten times as much on an article of clothing as they would on a practically identical item just because it has some designers name on it. Now... I'm not saying which one.. ..but one of those things doesn't exist in reality. |

I do not "get" the appeal of reality TV. I didn't get it as a kid when there was mainly just Survivor, Fear Factor and American Idol, and I don't get how it has multiplied into a cluster%&*@@$*(@$. Yes yes yes, as anybody who was on the old board knows, I will admit we bought into the Honey Boo Boo spectacle, the ONE reality TV family that actually seemed halfway NORMAL (for rednecks anyway) compared to the boring and lifeless 19 Kids, yes I'm aware of the irony there, or Jon and Kate + 8, but compared to all those 'picture perfect' families that you knew were just %&@)@$$%&, that one for a while seemed like a breath of fresh air, that they were just so crazy, it *had* to be real. Once again, yes I'm aware of the irony. The only reality TV I watch these days is America's Got Talent and TLC's shows about obese people losing weight. What is the appeal of The Bachelor or Big Brother?, or an abusive land whale berating children and their moms just stand there and let her verbally abuse their daughters for not dancing good enough?, or on TLC, all those stupid polygamy shows?, Chrisley on USA, and now Hallmark's getting a series about the family of the woman who played Hoffs on 21 Jump Street, what exactly is the %&!)$@&U( appeal here?

i was on my phone and autocorrect happened. you knew he was driving drunk but you still used him as an example for your cause. still, no go. they were forced to take evasive action because him in a high speed chase while drunk, he was being a danger to society. so if he had ran over your mother during this high speed chase, would you be singing a different tune? would you want justice served? What are you talking about? As I said, I agree that King had to be taken down. You make it sound like I wanted him to get away or something. All I’m saying is that they were able to take King down without having to resort to lethal force. All they used were a taser and their clubs. Are you saying that they SHOULD have used lethal force? Yeah that caused quite the stir. If that were to happen now I think we'd see riots the likes of which we've never seen before all across the country. |

I do not get those shirts that girls and women wear with titles or inspirational sayings on them, 'Princess', 'Rockstar', I never would've worn that crap when I was a kid and I sure as hell wouldn't dress my daughters in it either if I had any.

You never wrote those words. You mentioned him because I mentioned how truncheons are no longer really used. And even so... It was nearly 30 years ago. How ignorant are you to take a case from 30 years ago as proof of what happens now? |

I certainly didn't condone him DWI, you can't say I did that. So, you're saying that if the King incident happened now, he would be shot instead of merely beaten? |

You initially brought him up while stating: it still didn't stop them from beating him... How do those words equate: Rodney was wrong? They don't. And you never wrote afterwards how he was wrong. Never. Said. Those. Words. |

Never. Said. Those. Words. Okay, I'll just say this and will end my participation in this discussion: we had mentioned how some people were being shot instead of being subdued via less lethal means. I said they got Rodney King without having to shoot him, just using the taser and clubs. Somehow, that became me saying that King shouldn't have been beaten. I said that, during the beating, I counted four times that they had stopped and King is just lying on the ground, doing nothing, then they started hitting him again. Yes, King was wrong to be DWI and he was MOST DEFINITELY WRONG for charging at the female (or any) officer on the scene. No endorsement for King whatsoever. |

When stores, like grocery stores, "remodel" the inside, by moving the isles around... in order to get "more space".
Morons... Those 10 fucking cans of soup take up the same amount space no matter what corner of the store you put them in, DUH!
Afterwards, the customers can't find the soup isle, because it is on the other side of the store, and when they do find it, they can't find those ten cans of that particular flavor that they love... So, they get pissed off, and then shop somewhere else (or then go online.)
And just when you have finally figured out where everything is, now... they remodel the store again!

I don't get the reasoning for naming the Grandfather part in the "Grandfather Paradox"
First...
A man builds a time machine.
He goes back in time to met his Grandfather as a young man, before he got married and had children.
He gets into an argument with his Grandfather, and kills him.
Since his Grandfather never had children, the Time Traveler can't be born.
Since the Time Traveler was never born, then he can't build a time machine...
...and without the Time Machine, the (non-existant) Time Traveler can't go back in time.
The Grandfather is not killed.
The Grandson, builds a time machine...
Now...
Why couldn't this be called: The "Father paradox", or the "Mother Paradox", or even the "Great Grandfather Paradox"?
Wouldn't killing all of THESE people before THEY had children, result in the Time Traveler not being born too?
So, why was it named the "Grandfather" Paradox?
