QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 11:12 AM) It seemed like a non controversial point a couple days ago It only shows how stupid some people think the public is. Put a nice name on it and we slobber and want one. As I mentioned, they are great tools, too bad they can't just say, hey. someone may be seriously harmed by one of these, but by not using it, many more, including many more good guys, will be harmed. So we use less-lethal weapons. And isn't less-lethal, my radio name in college, just as catchy and more accurate than non-deadly? what's a nubian?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 11:02 AM) All valid points, but what does "non" mean? If I'm a security guard at a nursing home, I imagine we could drop the "non" altogether with just about any weapon I would use to beat back the angry dementia patients. but I think it's obvious that "non-deadly" is the intended by product of the weapon. Handcuffs, bad breath, and night sticks are probably classified as non-deadly weapons. In other words, in MOST cases, when used correctly, these things are meant to NOT-KILL someone. I get your hang up, but it's not simple marketing. I think it's logical.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) The end game of a 9mm is also immobilization Skim is no longer being used, fat free has replaced it. And I'm glad you used milk as an example. Whole milk is around 4-5% fat. 2% is 2% fat, 1% is 1% fat. I guess it all hinges on what "non" means. If you believe non means "only once in a while" then it is an accurate description. If you believe non means never, then it isn't. I think non-deadly gives the public a different impression of a taser than reality. I also think a taser, properly used, is an awesome weapon and probably saves lives, and saves injuries. And of course, Tasers don't kill people, people who are unruly in public and need a good immobilization, kill themselves. 9mm are meant to kill people. rubber bullets meant to incapacitate. Tasers immobilize. lassos for a good ol' boot scootin' good time. I think more people are in need of a good immobilization than we admit. Jesse Jackson comes to mind.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 22, 2007 -> 05:51 PM) Who coined the term non-deadly and why? You don't think it was a marketing ploy to sell more tasers? When we have labels that are less than accurate, or misleading (98% Fat Free) it is usually to sell something. I'm not claiming it is evil or dishonest, it is something we accept in our society. I found it amusing that we had to be reminded that non-deadly doesn't mean it is 100% death free. It means it it kills less times and less enough to be called "non". I believe most people know what sex is, and they know what non means. because the end game of the taser is immobilization. It's intended purpose is non-deadly. It is still a weapon (something used by one person against another person with intent to do harm or to coerce. *my definition* ), but with everything with any striation, different classes are assigned to help the lay person dilineate between items. for the record, 98% fat free isn't a classification as much a marketing scheme. I would liken "non-deadly" v. "deadly" weapons to "skim" vs. "whole milk"... Skim is good for you, while Whole milk will kill ya:)

Why doesn't someone call out Jesse Jackson for not being a human being?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 11:08 AM) Sorry, I wasn't clear. Why call it non-deadly? Why not less-deadly? Why not just call them weapons? I'm not saying get rid of the tool, I just find it funny how we sanitize stuff and put on these labels. To paraphrase; Balta states that the weapon can be deadly, and you reply well non-deadly doesn't mean NON-deadly. I guess it depends on how you define "non". I'm going to guess that the term was coined by people manufacturing these weapons to help sell the weapon. Who isn't in favor of non-deadly methods? It sounds way better than "weapons that kill only some of the time". Stupid side trip down a linguistics and marketing lane. Carry on. I almost responded to this post with sincere thought. But Tex's premise can't be real.

It's also pretty cool to look down on my house and see my car parked out on the street. aren't those pictures from like 5-10 years ago? it's probably not your car, sorry to say.

From Buddytv.com More on Aloma Wright's Return to 'Scrubs' For the latest Scrubs news, subscribe to our RSS feed or email newsletter. Email this Article to a Friend September 13, 2007 In June, it was reported that Aloma Wright, best known as Nurse Laverne Roberts on NBC's Scrubs, will be returning for the seventh final season of the comedy series. Fans have been wondering as to how the show will bring back Wright, considering her character died towards the end of the sixth season. Word has spread that Aloma Wright will return to the series as Laverne's twin sister, Shirley, a single alcoholic who is skeptical of religion. However, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence recently debunked the claims, telling TV Guide that Wright's new character will not have any relation to the deceased Sacred Heart nurse. "She's coming back as a completely different character [that's] not related to Laverne in any way," Lawrence said. "And no one but J.D. [Zach Braff] sees the similarities. And he's incredulous that no one sees it." He also said he is hoping Scrubs fans will not be turned off by this abrupt development in the show. "It's just that Aloma's such a nice woman,” Lawrence explained. “When I thought last year was the last year, we killed her. And then it looked like it suddenly might not be the last year and I didn't want to rewrite all of those scripts. So I told her, 'Look, if we come back, I'll put you back on the show.' I don't want to take away anybody's livelihood. It's too competitive a time out there. It's not 100 percent a creative decision as much as there's only one season left and I can't take her house payments away. She is a sweet lady." Although Aloma Wright admitted to feeling “abused” when her character was killed off for the sake of shaking things up on the series, she is grateful that Lawrence has kept his word. "I'm glad to know he's a man of his word and I've still got a job," Wright told Variety in June. The final season of Scrubs will start airing on Thursday, October 25.
