  1. Didnt get to watch any of it yet. What did the defense say specifically that they were lying about? You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  2. Lesser charges are often included at the end in FL. Its just the way it works down here. The defense probably was prepping for it from day 1. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  3. Just watched a bit of this standing in line for coffee. Defense seems to have clearly established that TM followed GZ. Where did the assault take place relative to TM's Dad's house? This is a witch hunt. No, this is "THIS YEAR'S DUKE LACROSSE CASE" http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2013-07-10.html You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  4. It's unbelievable. During the last week, the prosecution's most common statement has been "isn't it possible that....". Talk about role reversal. The defense is supposed to be punching "possible" holes in the prosecution's case, not the other way around. They are grasping for anything they can. I liked Root's response during cross, "Sure anything is possible, but not everything is plausible." And what's this judge's deal? She's a grade A bitch. I can't imagine this case helps her image any.

  5. That's SOP for Florida law. Nothing strange about it down here. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  6. This is pretty much it IMHO. The taking pictures bit is off. Unless of course, I really am a short term diver. Know a couple of others with ten times as many jumps that love taking (and posting) pictures as well that I guess are short termers as well :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  7. All that shows is that Zimmerman was losing the fight. I don't think the prosecution has questioned that they were fighting, have they? What is germane is, who was the aggressor in the fight? If the jury decides Zimmerman was the aggressor, he has responsibility for the outcome. If they decide Martin attacked Zimmerman out of the blue, then Zimmerman is in the clear. If they decide they can't decide who started the fight, then Zimmerman gets the benefit of the doubt. If they do decide that Zimmerman was the aggressor, do you think he should be completely excused from killing Martin just because he was losing the fight? Don There was at least one person that swore up and down that GZ was on top of TM. This, obviously, goes directly against that and is yet another thing that backs up GZ version of events. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  8. I wonder if the defense lawyer will make a motion to dismiss based on evidence given? Dr. Vincent Di Maio just climbed on top of the prosecution's case and did a ground and pound. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  9. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/09/11-calls-becoming-heart-zimmerman-trial/ "A forensic expert testified Tuesday that Trayvon Martin's gunshot wound indicated that he was likely on top of George Zimmerman when the neighborhood watch volunteer shot him. Forensic pathologist Dr. Vincent Di Maio, an expert on gunshot wounds who has written and co-authored several articles and a book on the subject, said the single shot that killed the Florida teen passed through Martin's clothing as it hung 2-4 inches from his skin, indicating that Martin was over Zimmerman and leaning forward." That's not gonna help the prosecution You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  10. You mean police were doing their job correctly? No way! You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  11. Be my guest. You're welcome to try. As for, "Jesus violates the law by forgiving the adulteress" nowhere in the story did He violate the law. In fact, that was a chief contention among the Pharisees and Sadducees that only God could forgive sins. And if Christ was who He said He was, then He wasn't violating anything. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  12. That's because I usually here such a list from liberals. I don't here it often (or at all as far as memory serves) from diehard, rightwing zealots :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  13. While I agree that most people don't *fully* follow Christ, as His teachings are very demanding when you look at all of them, this little bit is nowhere near accurate and is just a lib feel good fest. Breaking down the paragraph in the link: "[Jesus] never spoke English" Really? Never knew that. :: eye roll:: "A guy who was anti-wealth" Not true. He was against people that put wealth ahead of God and Love. "anti-possessions" Not true. (see above) "anti-self defense" Not true. Peter ran around with sword all the time for self defense. "anti-greed" True. "anti-death penalty completely" Not true. "anti-public prayer" Not true. He was against people who prayed in public to seem righteous. Huge difference. "never once anti-gay" Semi true. (If you break one law, you break them all. "Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets."). That being said, He was never anti-anyone, so in that sense, He wasn't anti-gay. He was however, anti-sin. "never mentioned abortion" True, but it is condemned in the Didache. He also considered anyone that harmed children to be the worst of the worst, so I'd label this as an overall fail too. "never really mentioned premarital sex" Semi true, but was still opposed (If you break one law, you break them all). He also clearly labelled adultery a sin ("Go and sin no more"). He also condemns a lot of sexual deviancy in Revelation. "never justified torture" True. "never called the poor lazy" True. But He'd call anyone lazy if they were, rich or not. Saying I came from a poor family would not excuse you from caring for another or doing God's work. "never asked a leper for a copay" True, but then again, why would He? That would be like saying, "Never asked a to pay automobile tax" "never fought for tax cuts for the wealthiest Nazarenes" True, but He didn't get mired into politics of the day. "Middle Eastern outrageously liberal reformer Jew" Its funnny when libs try and say this. His teachings are anything but what current US liberals teach.

  14. You can walk down any street you want. And someone is allowed to walk behind you too. You aren't allowed to sucker punch a guy, climb on top of him, "ground and pound" and then tell that person he's going to die. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  15. From the day of my first AFF jump I wanted to jump a wingsuit. I hit 200 jumps and my C license in about 1 year and 9 months. Its very doable if you have the time and money. Don't just wrack up jump numbers for the sake of getting in a WS. Develop all your other skills along the way, especially your canopy skills and accuracy, and tracking. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  16. Tri 190 -> Tri 175 -> Tri 160. Gonna stay at the 160. Love my Tri, especially for the wingsuit. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  17. I think you have a skewed idea of what their motivations are. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  18. They already sued and the HOA settled out of court IIRC You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  19. How exactly is this a loss for the religious right? You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  20. Thanks! Figured it would probably amount to nothing, but I'd rather ask then have someone say something later like "Why didn't you..." You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  21. So I was repacking at the house and found a pinhole in the top skin of my center cell (see attachment). It's tiny. I had to look for it pretty hard again when I went to get my iPhone and a penny to take a picture of it. Is this something I can just keep an eye on or does it need a little patch now? Or...? If it can wait, I'd rather just keep an eye on it and then when I get my next repack and get a boost added to my wings container, I'll take care of it then (about 4 months / ~70 jumps given my current rate). But I'd rather avoid a blow out too. Not sure how common these things are. Thanks! You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  22. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/28/Zimmerman-ground-and-pound "On Friday, in testimony devastating to the prosecution’s case against George Zimmerman in his murder trial for the killing of Trayvon Martin, prosecution witness John Good stated that Martin was on top of Zimmerman, beating him mixed martial arts style – Good used the term “ground and pound” -- before Zimmerman shot him. According to Good, he thought Zimmerman was shouting help as Martin beat him. “That’s what it looked like,” he stated. “It looked like there were strikes being thrown, punches being thrown.”" That's not gonna help the prosecution at all You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  23. Passing another bill without reading it. What could possibly go wrong? You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  24. So he's a spy of sorts and the NSA is doing naughty things. Surprise, surprise :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  25. What happened today? You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
