Crimes on a decline tho.

Frownland 05-08-2016 11:27 AM

If only the media were more sensationalized and reliant on novelty back in the 1920s. There would've been so many awesome murder news stories.

OccultHawk 05-08-2016 11:35 AM

You gotta admit killing your brother because he ate your cheeseburger makes for a pretty damn entertaining read. Don't hate the messenger.

Frownland 05-08-2016 11:39 AM

Damn straight. On the other hand, it creates this though, and makes a great amount of unrealistic fears for people to politicize or profit off of.

OccultHawk 05-08-2016 11:44 AM

I actually freak myself out watching world star and YouTube so I believe it. I even know it's happening to me but I keep doing it. I watch so much crazy violent **** online I know it messes with my head but I do it anyway.

Yep. Decline doesn't mean nonexistent.

NYC Bars Can No Longer Refuse Pregnant Women Alcohol

:banghead:

I'm pretty sure bars still have the right to refuse service to anyone though.

The bouncer quote though reminded me of this lol

It's always nice to see people who care so much about one group of people who they are a part of, while giving not a **** about another.

Maybe it's a measure to promote more miscarriages so that people dumb enough to drink while pregnant reproduce less, because that type of person probably isn't going to raise the brightest kid, with or without prenatal exposure to alcohol.

Zhanteimi 05-09-2016 06:41 PM

Drinking more often causes fetal alcohol syndrome, though. Not miscarriages.

Apple Terminating Music Downloads Within 2 Years!

This is a sensible decision when you consider that iTunes download revenue is expected to plummet 39% in the next 5 years.

Honestly, I couldn't be happier to see that beast finally die.

Stephen 05-12-2016 04:52 PM

I like downloads. I don't like the idea of being tied to some streaming subscription where they can decide to arbitrarily pull my favourite album from their catalogue. Australia is still tied to ****ty internet speeds until the evil overlord Murdoch gives the government the ok to upgrade the network. That means buffering frustration for the next 5-10 years.

Obama doesn’t think rapists, armed robbers, drug dealers are ‘criminals’ | New York Post

Aww come the **** on man ....This is just getting to be too much. Being a triple felon hasn't stopped me from doing anything up to and including owning a gun. And no its not one I bought in the hood either. Matter of fact its never hurt my feelings calling me a felon either.

Frownland 05-15-2016 05:19 AM

:laughing: the pamphlet that so outrageously uses "justice involved individuals" uses the word criminal throughout it.

RoxyRollah 05-15-2016 08:14 AM

Thats ex con too you Mr.

OccultHawk 05-15-2016 08:19 AM

**** Obama on this. Let some convicted rapists and murderes roam free in the ****ing White House then. Or maybe if they're so pleasant he can move into prison and get to know them better. I don't know any poor people who say yeah we need more people with violent histories in our community. He talks the talk but I have to walk the walk - literally, in my own ****ing neighborhood. I'm totally the opposite on this. Mug an old lady, hell mug ANYONE and you should be executed ten minutes after sentencing. 16 year old assaults his 60 year old math teacher. Death penalty. Take out the trash don't dump it on the street in MY neighborhood.

RoxyRollah 05-15-2016 08:21 AM

Hes building a bigger wall around the white house tho....incase they forgot to tell you guys....higher fences for him no borders for you...Merry Christmas America.

RoxyRollah 05-15-2016 08:22 AM

You know why you never see one armed people in Morocco OH?

RoxyRollah 05-15-2016 08:29 AM

Let me tell you, cause you get your ****ing hand cut off for stealing.... You remember why you live here right? So if you ever forced to steal to feed yourself rest assured you get 3 hots and a cot in jail for a month vs being limbless your whole life...soo like why are we killing ppl 16 minutes after a sentance...That's a whole new level of due process bro.

Frownland 05-15-2016 09:17 AM

I was under the impression that serving a sentence should be the penance for someone's crime, not being un or underemployed for the rest of their lives.

Are you suggesting that we should start cutting people's hands off, Roxxy? You know people still commit murders in Morocco right?

penance
That's what we need to get away from. Who cares if someone is punished? I just don't want them living near me because they make the world worse. If they're a menace kill them. If not leave them alone.
