Apparently Mr. Alexis had never been convicted of anything, so he WAS a law abiding citizen, right up until the instant of his death. Ask Turtlespeed. However, he WAS Texan. http://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2013/09/16/suspect-in-navy-yard-attack-previously-arrested-in-seattle-for-anger-fueled-shooting/ Law abiding, except for the whole shooting out the tires of cars in 2004 He wasn't tried and or convicted of a crime. I believe, from what I've been told, a person is innocent till proven guilty. Seems as though, over the years, that has taken a 180. Chuck I didn't say he was convicted or a criminal. There are plenty of ways you can not abide by the law and still not not be tried or sentenced. But I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that in Seattle, its not abiding by the law if you shoot out car tires in a parking lot.

I have no idea what I was thinking, other than it wasn't a good form of socialism due to the return rates. Clearly, my brain had shorted out a couple of days ago :) You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

Are you still collecting Social Security payments and using Medicare Services? According to your own posts, you are an avowed opponent of Socialism. So you DO have your "bama phone" and Plasma TV. You are a hypocrite of the highest order. Your complete lack of moral consistency is impressive. A more perfect example of the bullshit that comes from "born again christians" cannot be found. How is social security socialism when its your money they are giving back at a crappy interest rate and you can't say, "No thanks. I'll invest myself"?

If you're going to shoot, shoot to kill. Any other advice is just awful. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

Cant create mods on a console :) PC gaming rigs can be quite expensive if you really want to throw money at it, but there's no reason (other than you want to) to blow 2k right out the gate. You can build good rigs for under 1k quite easily, especially if you've already got a monitor, keyboard, mouse, OS, etc. Not saying that consoles don't have their market and role, but IMHO, PC gaming is always where's its at for me.

Oh . . . so close you almost have it. No. The price dropped because the computers were programmed to value the stocks less because of a mathematical model which said they had less confidence in the future value of the stock. Other computers also looked at the prices and determined stocks would ONLY be worth buying at lower prices because they also had less confidence in the future value of the stock. It had zero to do with the actual value of anything. Money changed hands. You said it yourself that *some* of the transactions were reversed. It doesn't matter if a computer made the sale or a person started it. The fact is one account (or more) sold shares at a price that drove the price down. It's not rocket science. The value of a share isn't just pulled out of thin air. It's what people (or computers) are paying for it at any given time. And all those values make up the Dow. Value, by its very definition, is what people (or computers in this case) assign to an object. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

Yes, actually, money is going from one person to another somewhere in the chain that affects the Dow. NEGATIVE. Just the other week the Syrian Electronic Army took hacked into AP's Twitter account and made a false post about the White House suffering an explosion and the President being killed in it. MACHINES, not people, scanning various news sources picked it up and for a brief time the Dow PLUNGED. Literally billions upon billions of dollars instantly vanished from the world economy. Then, AP regained control over its Twitter account and posted a retraction. The NYSE reversed some of the purchases. The Dow "recovered" -- almost. However, MY stocks are still lower than they were before the attack as is the entire Dow. It is literally a confidence game where money is created out of nothing and lost the same way. Don't even get me started on derivatives. And that value dropped because people were selling at a rate that was lower than before. A stock won't drop without money changing hands somewhere, it doesn't matter if a computer did the trading or a person did. Money went from one place to another and affected the price.

Let's see, end result of both being a woman (child in the OP case) is horrified beyond means, suffers immense psych damage (which btw, can be excruciatingly painful in the physical sense) and either suffers from major injury (as in your case) or is DEAD in the OP case. Yeah. I'm going out on a limb to say there's no overall difference as the damage in the end is the same, if not worse, in the OP case.

Please...in my little burg in Ohio there are 1000+ jobs and not all are minimum wage/entry level. So, if you decide to not take the schooling that was included with your childhood we should subsidize you. Typical liberal thinking. God forbid you should retrain for something too God forbid employers should pay the people on the front lines of their business more than what is simply required by law. Many do. A no skill, "Would you like fries with that?" employee should not be making anywhere near as much money as other professions who get paid $15/hr that actually had to train and work for their job. If you decide to settle into such a job for the long haul, not simply as a part-time teenage/college kid job, or as a stopgap while you find and/or train for something else, that's all on you. Your employer doesn't magically owe you an extra $16,000 a year just because you want it. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

He destroyed her life, caused her mental breakdown which directly resulted in her suicide. Yes, this pedophile killed a girl in more ways than one. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

Doesn't seem right is the understatement of the year. Not only was the girl raped (and the guy didn't contest it at all) but she killed herself over the entire ordeal. So, rape a girl, cause her death, get 30 days of jail. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

Saw this the other day. He's apologizing for the comments and not the absurdly stupid sentence he gave? He should be disbarred and removed from the bench immediately for both the comments and the sentencing. It sure would be a shame if Anon got a hold of this.

So you're saying that normal people would like to kill more if they only had guns available, and its not at all due to other factors (economic status, mental health, etc) as the study asserts? You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

Can't remember the last time I saw 100% bias free research. The stats are pretty interesting, however. The quote your picked out really needs the follow up sentence. "While this is literally true, it is irrelevant—except, perhaps to people terrified not of death per se but just death by gunshot. A fact that should be of greater concern—but which the study fails to mention—is that per capita murder overall is only half as frequent in the United States as in sev‐ eral other nations where gun murder is rarer, but murder by strangling, stabbing, or beating is much more frequent." So yes, you are more likely to be shot in the US, but in other countries, you're much more likely to be murdered overall. So in essence, the body count is lower in the US per capita.

Paypal actually is pretty good about refunding money for non-items for buyers that get taken, if for no other reason because they know you can call up your CC company and have the charges reversed in a heartbeat, causing them even more of a headache.
