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

No boobalicious I was pointing out that we cant shoot someone 16 hours after a sentance ala the arabs removing limbs...not due process

Source? I don't think they've ever won one. The New York Times on the other hand.

They were well respected in the 19th century but then went downhill. Since Murdoch bought them in 1976 the paper has become a total joke.

I was refering to the Enquirer , pulitzer-winning magazine.
Albeit a rag but they break stories long before mainstream media gets a hold of it the winning them multiple Pulitzer. The magazine racks at the grocery store, people, time, Esquire cooking bags all rent that rack from The National Enquirer.

They were considered for one for breaking the Edwards affair story but didn't win. Where you getting multiple wins from???

Not finding anything except for the fact that they pay for story leads which is why they break some big stories first. And they weren't nominated afterall. They were "being considered".

The PP committee caught a ton of flack over that since paying for stories is not considered legit.

The porn industry deserves more respect, if you ask me.

Nigga, I wouldn't be so sure any more. Heh, heh, heh, you all laugh at me which whatever floats your little fascist boats... I don't care, but what I am about to spit is truth. I watched something the other night on the klan, and for the first time in my ****ing life, I said hey there might be actually something going on for whites rn. I never thought I'd see the day were I a black woman could listen to the jargon spoken by the grand dragon and say ya know he may have a point. Is it far enough to exterminate you, nah but understand that they are tryna come at you guys and dump all this ****ing white guilt in your lap and most of you fall victim to it.

DwnWthVwls 05-15-2016 04:01 PM

As a strong black woman myself, I agree with Roxy.

They gotta rank damn near the top of the best bands ever from Portland.

Psych, Agalloch are not broken up, just a one-man project now.

Woo! Looks like it might not be the end of the band, just a transitional period from being a four-piece into more of a one-man thing. I'm fine with it, and as you said John Haughm is more than capable of continuing on making worthwhile stuff. Doing it under the Agalloch name will just give it that much bigger of a plateau, so I'm excited to see what's next for him.

A Catholic Priest Is Fighting To Abolish The Gay Panic Defence To Murder

Wait. "Gay Panic" can be used as a defense for murder?

Goofle 05-18-2016 10:10 AM

That whole thing doesn't load on my phone, what's the conclusions drawn and your objections?

This used to be very prevalent in the 50's, and the justice system was never reluctant enough to call it what it actually was which was a blatant excuse to acquit actual murder charges. I guess it still runs amok today.

Chula Vista 05-18-2016 03:38 PM

Man, I would love 15 minutes alone with this guy. It's really hard to hate someone you don't know, but he's an exception.

It might work out for the best.

Eric Clapton ‘might be saying goodbye’

Quote:

Just in case I don’t cut another record, this is how I feel. I kind of might be saying goodbye – but I’ve been doing that for a while.
Clapton's gonna pull a Bowie, guys.

OccultHawk 05-19-2016 04:38 PM

If Clapton makes a record a 100th as good as Black Star I'll do something outrageous to show how surprised I am.

Woman Trying to Show Vegans Can Do Anything Dies on Everest
So yeah... I know death is no laughing matter, but I find the irony amusing.

Zhanteimi 05-23-2016 07:00 PM

The bodies on Everest get nicknames and are often used as markers by other hikers. There's simply no way to move the bodies down the mountain without risking your survival.

OccultHawk 05-24-2016 12:51 AM

Everest tourists remind me a big game hunters. The Sherpa should put a guillotine on the summit.

That never occurred to me. If the family wants to visit their burial sight, they risk dying themselves.

Why is the U.S. arming Vietnam? - CNNPolitics.com

Quote:

a potential boon for U.S. defense contractors. Vietnam is the world's eighth largest weapons importer and is spending increasing amounts on its self-defense, with arms imports rising 699% from 2011 to 2015, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.


Occasionally I forget that Obama is just another warmongering piece of ****.
