Somebody urinated in my cornflakes…again…

In addition to that little breakfast surprise, here are some things that have really been pissing me off:

1) RELATIONSHIPS!!! Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE on LJ is talking about them. I was listening to a radio call-in show tonight while coming back from dinner. People would request songs for lost loves, current loves, and in search of future ( Read more... )

The jury wasn't crazy. His lawyer promised evidence that he couldn't produce when push came to shove. None of the alternative theories he offered made sense.

The same thing in reverse happened with O.J. Simpson. The prosecution screwed up big time. The jury almost had no choice but to let O.J. off, so he could spend the rest of his life looking for the "real killer" on every golf course in the world. In a civil case brought by the victims' relatives, a different jury ruled against O.J.

Sure, the Scott Peterson jury could have had a reasonable doubt. But plenty of innocent people have been executed on the basis of circumstantial evidence. Our legal system permits this, although Deuteronomy 17:6 prohibits executing a criminal without eyewitnesses:

"At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death."

A fortiori, under the Biblical rule, no one should be put to death without any witnesses at all.

Unfortunately, the Bible (or any other religious text) isn’t embraced as a legal aid. The defense could have promised evidence of space aliens, and it wouldn’t have made a difference to me. My biggest complaint is the counts they convicted him on -- which is all the evidence I need to be convinced BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that this jury was crazy. If for some reason Peterson gets the death penalty, it will further show this jury has absolutely no reasoning behind their conviction of 2nd Deg. Murder ( ... )

In Singapore, they'd throw your ass in jail.

I can only imagine the consequences of your actions; after all, tossing a gum wrapper on the ground costs between $500 and $2000. And there they actually enfore it. RELIGIOUSLY.

That’s EXACTLY why I like Singapore. They don’t fuck around like these lazy Americans. I remember some American kid got 40 cane lashings for illegally spray painting a car. If splitting his ass in two for vandalizing someone’s car isn’t justice, I don’t know what is.

I was going to write this novel entry in my journal about that LJ murderer... but I got lazy.
But I totally agree.. leave the girl alone.
Your girlfriend requirements are nifty. You and your gee eff would be the most awesome couple in the face of lj.
Those new flavors are nauseating. They're running out of ideas. :[

I doubt I'd have time for LJ once I find a GF that meets all my requirements. I'd spend all my free time looking for pinatas to buy her in celebration. And every evening, when the sun is setting, we'd go for ice cream in the park...and laugh at all the ugly people around us. PARADISE!!!

I wonder where these soda companies come up with ideas for drinks. It all seems to so random to me. I could make better soda by mixing carbonated water and Hershey's Strawberry Sauce. Mmmmm.
