My wife said he seemed like he was on something the entire show(not surprising) and he didnt really answer any questions either. Im going to watch the replay tonite at 10:30

"This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time," spokeswoman Cece Yorke said. According to court papers obtained by celebrity news Web site www.TMZ.Com, Locklear is seeking a divorce based on irreconcilable differences. Locklear, 44, and Sambora, 46, have an 8-year-old daughter, Ava. Locklear was previously married to another rock star, Tommy Lee. Their seven-year marriage ended in 1993. News of the split was first reported by People Magazine on its Web site.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 12:07 PM) I love this "what if they had hurt someone?" crap. If they hurt someone then they would be convicted of that crime, just like any other situation ever. But they didn't, and you can't hang them for what might have happened. You deal with what did happen. Yes, alcohol can get people killed, so can alot of things. Too much cough medicine can get people killed. And to the guy who said child porn is a victimless crime, uh where the hell do you get that? Seems like there are victims to me. The drinking age is 21 because when Nancy Dole was secretary of transportation she wouldn't give the states funding for highways unless they went along with her. That's IT. It's f***ing stupid, and people who defend it have no f***ing clue. sad. There is no arguing this anymore, you dont get it.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 03:54 AM) Yeah, well they didn't hurt anyone. You don't punish people for crimes they could possibly commit. As it was they didn't hurt anyone. Victimless crime; and if you want to relate it to "yourself", how would you like it if you were drinking underage, didn't hurt anyone, and you still got 2 weeks in jail? They didnt drink one time and get caught, they got caught twice, and they shoved it in the law's face. I love how you like to point out that it is a victimless crime BECAUSE someone didnt get hurt, but you refuse to admit that alcohol COULD get these kids killed. What would have happened if these kids would have gotten through prom without getting caught, went to a post prom party at one of their houses, partied some more, and then drove home and plowed into a tree? Wouldnt be so victimless then, would it? You cant even begin to determine what these cops prevented, because you are so hell bent on trying to prove that these cops and the judge were somehow sore-asses and mean and carried vendettas because they followed the law.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 06:00 AM) Back in the day when the Indiana dunes were the place to go after prom several of my friends DID get arrested for underage drinking, DID get 24 hours in the pokey, and it DID deter most of them from being idiots by drinking and acting like assholes in public. ALL of them were banned from graduation ceremonies. Zero tolerance. We ALL signed an agreement stating that if we were caught drinking that's what would happen. A few of them DIDN'T get the hint and two of them died from alcohol poisening, and another by playing chicken on Southwest Hwy. I drank underage, you bet. But had I gotten caught you bet my ass would have not been stupid enough to slap in the face the person that slapped me on the wrist when he could have made life a lot worse for me. Although back then I doubt I would have gotten a slap on the wrist, like these kids did. And if you want to use that argument at least keep in mind that they were NOT put in jail for drinking.. they were put in jail for VIOLATING a probation agreement THEY AGREED TO. They got lucky no one got hurt - thank God. The law is 21 because MANY teenagers are IRRESPONSIBLE when it comes to alcohol http://camy.org/factsheets/index.php?FactsheetID=7 • Three teens are killed each day when they drink alcohol and drive.1 At least six more die every day from other alcohol-related causes.2 • According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6,002 young people ages 16-20 died in motor vehicle crashes in 2003. Alcohol was involved in 38% of these deaths.3 • In 2003, 3,571 young drivers ages 16-20 died in motor vehicle crashes. Of these, 1,131 - approximately 32% - had been drinking, and 26% were legally drunk at the time of the crash.4 • A survey of college students in 2001 revealed that, for students under age 21, 26% drove after drinking alcohol, more than 10% drove after consuming more than five drinks, and almost a quarter rode with a high or drunk driver at least once in the 30 days before the survey.5 • In the year 2000, only 7% of licensed drivers were ages 15 to 20. However, in that same year, they represented approximately 13% of drivers who had been drinking and were involved in fatal crashes.6 Alcohol Dependence: • Americans who began drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who wait until the age of 21.7 • In November 2004, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) concluded that alcohol abuse and dependence are "developmental disorders."8 • An analysis published in the November 15, 2004 issue of Biological Psychiatry stated that the onset of alcohol dependence peaks by 18 years of age.9 Risky Sexual Behavior: • It is estimated that teenage girls who binge drink are up to 63% more likely to become teen mothers.10 • In a poll of more than 11,700 college students from 128 colleges in the United States, researchers found that, compared to those who waited to drink until they were 19 or older, college students who got drunk for the first time before age 13 were twice as likely to say they had had unplanned sex because of drinking. They were more than twice as likely to say they had had unprotected sex because of drinking.11 • In a study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 23% (5.6 million) of sexually active teens and young adults ages 15-24 in the United States reported having had unprotected sex because they were drinking or using drugs at the time. Twenty-four percent of teens ages 15-17 said that their alcohol and drug use led them to do more sexually than they had planned.12 Health Consequences: • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 4,554 underage deaths each year are due to excessive alcohol use.13 • Alcohol use plays a substantial role in all three leading causes of death among youth - unintentional injuries (including motor vehicle fatalities and drownings), suicides and homicides.14 • Those who begin drinking before the age of 14 are five times more likely than those who begin drinking after the age of 21 to be injured while under the influence of alcohol at some point during their lives.15 • Among young people, binge drinkers and heavy drinkers are more than twice as likely as non-drinkers to report having attempted to injure themselves or having contemplated or attempted to commit suicide.16,17 • Research has also shown another specific link between heavy alcohol use and youth suicides. States that passed "zero tolerance" laws to reduce youth drinking-driving also experienced statistically significant reductions in suicide deaths among 15- to 20-year-olds, compared to states that did not pass such laws.18 • There is growing evidence to suggest that alcohol use prior to age 21 impairs crucial aspects of youthful brain development. In one recent study, heavy-drinking adolescents who had been sober for three weeks still scored 10 percent lower than non-drinking peers on tests requiring verbal and nonverbal recall and skills needed for map reading, geometry, and science.19 Social Consequences: • The costs of youth drinking are an estimated $53 billion annually, and include costs to society such as medical care costs and lost productivity, as well as costs to the young drinker such as pain and suffering and loss of income.20 • A study that followed over 6,500 individuals found that, by the age of 23, those who were drinkers by seventh grade were: - more likely than non-drinkers to have "missed work for no good reason," - more likely to be substance-users, - more likely to engage in criminal and violent behavior, and - between 1.7 and 2.3 times more likely to be weekly or binge drinkers, exhibit signs of alcohol dependence, and experience multiple alcohol problems.21 Updated July 2005 But why oh why is the drinking age 21? Its so damn unfair, Steff! Everyone should be able to drink at whatever age they choose! This Judge is a meanie!

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 01:37 AM) i read that as "hundreds of dead poets" Immediately after I posted this last night I read the headline and said the same thing, lol.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 08:46 AM) Wasn't there a case where humans were not cremated and their remains dumped a while back? BTW, who pays to have their mouse cremated?? I'm guessing the same people who pay for swimming lessons for their fish. Yeah, a year or so ago a crematorium in Georgia(I believe) did pretty much the same thing, except the bodies were all disposed on the owners property. I think the dead mouse and all of the other animals that werent considered pets were just animals that needed to be disposed of, this crematorium had a deal with the state, I believe. When i worked for PetCare in high school, we werent allowed to throw away dead animals, we had to send them back to the distributor to be accounted for(ie. credited) and that company(Apet) had to dispose of the pets themselves. I think there is some law that says you cannot dump animals in the garbage too, so companies like Apet who have to dispose of many animals are forced to get a contract with a crematorium.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) Well so basically its the "it was a law they broke it, they should be punished" vs "We break small laws everyday like jaywalking, copying dvd's, copyright laws (Kyle), and drinking is one of those in some situations." I just think that the initial punishment was a bit harsh considering what i have seen in the same circumstance, and at the time, that was really harsh. And the kids were retarded for that website, and they deserve to be CAUGHT for underage drinking due to their stupidity. But at the same time, I dont think it deseved jail time. :finger

Nice post Juggs. I agree with pretty much everything you said, real strong post.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/02/dumped.animals/index.html Looks like this family pet cremation business thought they would pull a fast one and neglect to actually cremate the pets they were paid to cremate.

My wife works at Emmetts Pub in Palatine, and her uniform was 23 dollars. And since she is a server, she has to have around 4-5 shirts, or do laundry every time she works.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) the "underage kids drink everyday" came from you justifying posting that article without copyright and saying "people do it all the time" I'm in college and i drink. i'm underage. Do i feel like i'm doing something wrong? no. You know why? Because i know that the legislators who passed that 21 law likely drank before 21. To me its like going 50 in a 45 speed zone. How do you feel about drunk drivers? If they make it home, it must be ok? You must be a pretty lenient guy.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) people underage drink everyday seriously the kids should never have even been ON probation. I think the judge was ridiculous and the school Find me a case where a kid came to a school or a school function wasted and didnt even get probation.
