  1. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) Probably for the same reason he's done all the other foolish things he's done. You aren't insinuating that he isn't very smart, are you?!
  2. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) What you expect with Illini in his name?
  3. Jesus christ why are people giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars?
  4. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 08:31 AM) Bush still gets blamed for a recession that technically started six weeks after he took office... At least that started under his Presidency. And Republicans said for years that it was "Clinton's recession" and it was so completely unfair to blame Bush for it. But yet they turn around and blame Obama for a recession that started over a year before he took office.
  5. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2012 -> 11:25 AM) Which is funny because she refers to it as his three and a half inch floppy. lolololololololol
  6. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 1, 2012 -> 09:05 AM) Wasn't there some major juror issues? Like, one juror flirting with Edwards in open court? It was one of the alternates I believe
  7. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 1, 2012 -> 09:04 AM) So, when can we start agreeing that Obama's economic policies have been a big failure? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/job-growth-f...-123604088.html Why is December 2007, 14 months before Obama took office, the starting point for comparing his policies? The January 20th, 2009 starting point is unfair, I'm not even sure how to describe blaming him for job losses for the 14 months he wasn't even in office yet.
  8. 1st circuit unanimously strikes down DOMAs3 as unconstitutional.it's a limited, states-rights oriented opinion. http://volokh.com/2012/05/31/first-circuit...doma-section-3/
  9. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) Bingo. Its not work. Its having a beer and shooting the s***. Really connect with people. Shake hands, trade a laugh. Trust me, it works It's about meeting new people and not specifically for job opportunities.
  10. QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 29, 2012 -> 07:09 PM) Honest to God, we had a student apply for a job a couple days ago that listed under skills on his resume: "expert at call of duty PS3" I s*** you not. Lol
  11. jenks smells blood in the water
  12. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 27, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) Strangest headline I've seen in a while: Naked Man Allegedly Eating Victim's Face Shot And Killed By Miami Police Unsurprisingly happened in Florida.
  13. coal lobby was running craigslist ads to get people to wear pro-coal shirts for $50 http://www.republicreport.org/2012/pay-people-shirts/
  14. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 25, 2012 -> 05:17 PM) I assume you also wear nothing but the cheapest clothing as well. $10 jeans, dollar store dress shirts, suits from TJ Maxx, and Payless shoes. After all, who could tell the difference unless they're right up on you? watch snob spotted ^^^^
  15. The trick is limiting your social network use to google+. Then no one will ever see the data.
  16. Never respond to a Y2HH post within the first five minutes. Odds are he's going to edit it.
  17. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2012 -> 10:19 AM) Not in the 21st century when everyone has a cellphone. easier to check time in a boring meeting on your watch than having to pull out your phone
  18. QUOTE (Cali @ May 24, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) Well... I did. That's all I care about haha They're opening for the Foo Fighters at Summerfest on June 28th. Tickets on sale in an hour.
  19. Yardwork. Lots and lots of yardwork.
  20. QUOTE (Cali @ May 24, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) Well... I did. That's all I care about haha Yeah I've given a couple listens and enjoy it. It's not groundbreaking or anything but it's a good listen.
  21. This is one of the most-cited books on this topic written by a leading expert in human memory: http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr...ony&f=false
  22. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 24, 2012 -> 12:16 PM) Lol, it's not "any number." It's a "small number." GMAFB. Again, police f*** up evidence. We should instruct jurors that evidence recovered by police is unreliable because of "any number of cases" that have been overturned due to police f*** ups. You're still not getting that it's a human cognitive issue, not a procedural issue.
  23. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 24, 2012 -> 12:18 PM) Yeah, because that's a study someone can accurately do. I'm done wasting my time with you on this. I've provided several studies and links already. Have you read them or any other on this topic, or is this all conjecture?
  24. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 24, 2012 -> 12:17 PM) I'm saying it's common sense that sometimes eye witness testimony is questionable. You don't think an average juror knows this? I do not think an average juror is aware of what the research has said about the reliability of eyewitness testimony in general, no. Again, impugning the credibility of specific witnesses misses the point that it's a larger psychological issue with the nature of eyewitnesses and human memory itself. Highly credible, highly confident witnesses can be dead wrong and decades of research has shown that most juries would not understand this possibility.
