QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) Just a thought... Isn't it illegal to not only photograph someone without their permission, but also to display over the internet without their permission? Or does their illegal activity cancel it out?...It made me think about those stories about people breaking in somewhere and injuring themselves and then suing the owner... Edit: I also remember hearing about laws being put in place to make it illegal to use camera phones in certain places. I wonder if any of that applies... If you are in a public place, you have no expectation of privacy. That allows companies to video tape, etc. Also, if you commit a crime, you also lose any rights along that way. Publishing brings into other issues, and different rights. What they could not do was use it for their financial gain. For example if you are at a bar and they film a commercial, they need a model release from everyone that appears in the commercial. If there is a crime at that same bar, or something newsworthy (fire, shooting, etc.) again, they can use your image.

'stros all the way. I've become a huge Clemens fan. They have the best pitching of the group and some great experience.

I was LMAO at the "middle of the day" as if it was later at night she would have thought, "hey he's masterbating in front of me, at least it's after 10 o'clock??

When a pervert exposed himself on a Manhattan subway last week, Thao Nguyen reached for her secret weapon - her camera phone. The quick-thinking 22-year-old snapped a shot of the smirking sicko, took it to cops and then posted it on the Internet. Word of her campaign to nail the flasher raced through cyberspace, and more than 45,000 people had viewed the photographic evidence by last night. "I just hope they catch him," Nguyen told the Daily News. "Maybe someone will recognize him. Maybe it will stop other people from doing it," she said. "Maybe other women will use their camera phones to stop crime." Nguyen's transformation from quiet Web developer to feisty crimefighter happened on an uptown R train the afternoon of Aug. 19. She was on her way back to work after a job interview when a middle-aged, blond-haired man dressed in a black shirt and jeans sat down across from her. "He kept staring at me," she said. "I could feel his eyes on me. I wanted to avoid eye contact so I looked away, but I could see his reflection in the window. "I saw him massaging himself and then he unzipped and pulled it out. I thought, 'I can't believe he's doing this in the middle of the day!' " The subway car was mostly empty and Nguyen felt nervous, so she pulled out her Samsung P777 cell phone, equipped with a 1.3 megapixel digital phone. "I turned on the camera," she said. "He was still masturbating. I aimed it and quickly took the shot. As soon as I took it, he zipped up and got off the train." Nguyen said she was disgusted by the incident and immediately reported it to a police officer at the 34th St. station. The next day she filled out an official complaint, and the following day a detective had her look at hundreds of photos of ex-cons. None of them was the culprit, but Nguyen wasn't about to give up. She posted the degenerate's photo on the Web sites Flickr and Craigslist, and bloggers began linking to her site. Her photo and story drew a few juvenile snickers, but most of the comments have been positive. One Netizen wrote: "You go, girl!" Another commented, "I hope his mom sees it." The NYPD, which confirmed Nguyen had filed a complaint, also was impressed. "It's great she took the picture; it'll help with the investigation," said NYPD Detective Kevin Czartoryski, who warned that a woman should be careful if the flasher sees her taking the picture. "If it can be done in a safe manner, it'd be helpful to locate the suspect," said Czartoryski, a NYPD spokesman. "Common sense should be used when deciding if a picture can be taken." Nguyen isn't the first straphanger to use her cell phone to catch a criminal. In May, two Catholic schoolgirls took a photo of a man en flagrante on the F train and showed it to a cop, who nabbed the pervert. Nguyen said even if her tormentor isn't caught - and charged with public lewdness, a misdemeanor that carries up to three months in jail - she's glad she took action. "He made me feel creepy," she said. "I want to embarrass him." If you recognize the man in the picture, call the Daily News at (212) 210-1574 and let us know. Originally published on August 26, 2005

Anything to score points against the President. :rolly Actually I thought they were idiots that actually cared if a soldier was killed. Silly liberals, with so many soldiers being conservative, sending them off to war seems like a great way to win elections. So much easier being a conservative in times of war. Just wave an American flag and blindly accept whatever Washington tells you. Yippee! More leftist dribble

With KC losing today, they have been eliminated from winning the AL Central. Next lowest "Magic Number" belongs to Magg's Team which is 20. That's going to take some time. We'll have to pull this one back up in a couple weeks.

During my tenure as Editor in Chief of the College of Lake County Chronicle we published personal ads. To get things started, the feature editor placed one, I responded, and we had a hot, fictional romance going for several issues. It wasn't until other people started commenting that we realized some people really believed the stuff. Thankfully it was in personal ads and not editorial copy.

So much of what we take for granted in our society is based on trust. Just driving down the road we trust the oncoming car will not swerve into our lane. We trust the company that packaged our food followed sanitation rules. And our journalists must trust people are telling the truth. Sadly, that isn't always the case.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) Explain why Bush should meet with people who insult him in the media. Why should he?! Dissent is fine. Insults and personal attacks are not............whats good for a message board is good for our president right?! There are so many reasons for him not to meet with her, I just think the fact that she insulted him isn't as valid as the others. If politicians stopped meeting with people who insulted them, they couldn't hold a meeting in Washington. Do we really want a President so sensitive that he says "She's a meany. She insulted me, I don't like her. Make her go away, I'm not seeing her! la la la la I can't hear you, la la la la I can't see you" I give the President a little more credit than that.

No way. I couldn't even watch the people walking out there.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 08:50 AM) Thing is TEX.. here in Illinois if you don't have your I-Pass in the car you are told to still go through the I-pass lane and the $0.40 will be charged to your account. We just got reminder letters about this in June. No way she had an I-Pass. Yes.. still an idiot. But without idiots, how would we feel smart and superior? Thank God for people like that. Speaking of God The Hebrew people were sitting around Mt. Sinai. You could hear only a subdued murmur among them, but you could feel the tension in the air. For hours now, Moses had been on top of the mountain, hidden from their gaze by clouds wafting around its top. Sometimes the clouds became dark and you could hear thunder rolling down. In spite of the warm weather, this caused a shudder among the waiting mass.The end of day was approaching and dusk was beginning to set in when suddenly a figure came through the clouds and walked down the steep mountainside carrying a heavy load. It was Moses. Moses set down his load and raised his hands. "Friends," he said. "Friends, it was hard work and I have done my best. I have negotiated with Him. I used every possible argument, every trick I could think of—and I think I was successful. The good news is: I brought him down from 15 to 10. The bad news is: Adultery is still in."

I think it's better she's a Twin's fan. Although a guest spot here as a Sox fan would be funny.

QUOTE(56789 @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) Maybe she is one of those people that have multiple cars and had her I Pass in the other car at the time and forgot to move it, so had to go through the cash lane. She did say she had an i pass. Excellent point. So she thought she had a way to pay the toll. She's not an idiot for not having a way to pay for the toll, she's an idiot for being in the wrong lane. Judges ruling? She's still an idiot. Play on.

What is interesting to me is Robertson makes that statement and no one goes into hiding. When Salman Rushdie was condemned to death by the former Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on February 14,1989, after publishing Satanic Verses, he went into hiding for years. When Bin Laden issues a declaration, people get nervous. Name any wacko spiritual leader of fringe movements and we take their threats very seriously. I wonder if around the world, Pat's declaration is reported with the same Christian's are wacked sort of angle? Christians are such whimps, no one willing to go all the way.
