QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 06:35 PM) False what? That story has nothing to do with the point the poster you replied too even tried to make. He said it got called workplace violence, while right there it is called homegrown terrorism.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) Guy gets arrested at theater in Ohio with a bunch of knives, a loaded Glock handgun, and several loaded additional magazines. Will be charged with about all they can charge him with...carrying a concealed handgun without a permit and carrying a weapon while having a disability. Had a nice arsenal of a dozen or so guns, few thousand rounds, gas masks, and body armor left at home. And I just died a little inside.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 06:04 PM) Because when the crime is black on white, or Muslum against Jew, police always tiptoe around saying it was/could be a hate crime. Maj. Nidal shoots up an army base because he hates non muslims, it gets called 'workplace violence', not a hate crime, or terrorism. It isn't applied evenly, in any stretch of the imagination, at all. 'Hate' isn't just whitey hating xxx. False.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 06:11 PM) A hero never tells. So, yes.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 05:59 PM) Dude, even I can tell you the answer to that one. It raised AWARENESS. Because thgat trumps all. Awareness that slackers are still living in mom's basement wioth no jobs due to crappy college degrees and/or no desire to start work at the bottom. Awareness that there is a whole bunch of people that feel the world owes them an ipad or gormet meals just because. It also accomplished double digit deaths, rapes and hundreds of arrests. Oh, and huge costs to the actual working people who pay taxes to clean up their mess after they left/were kicked out of the various parks and for police overtime. Oh, now you support awareness. But I'll agree, Occupy sucked.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 05:25 PM) Rumors are that it is heavily about S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and how they interact with the superheros, as well as interact with the world in the fallout of Loki's invasion. Any way about it, it is awesome. Joss Whedon was born for this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinema...erse#Television That plays to the SHIELD angle and could add Luke Cage.

I'm excited.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) Based on his track record, it's pretty absurd to think that Kenny knew something that others didn't. He more or less just took a flier on the dude. I'm glad that it worked out. It's nice to have a guy at the top of the order who can post a .350 OBP. His record says he's good at finding scrap heap guys.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:18 PM) Hey can you help me out? I got in a big argument over Twitter/Facebook because I think it is sad so many anonymous assholes on Twitter blasted Gabby Douglas for her hair, so much so it may have affected her performance the past couple days. I personally HATE the anonymous Internet. It disgusts me. I am all for every website making users use their real names. Yes, even this one. If we had to represent ourselves officially we all would post differently I'm sure. So tell me, do you use Twitter? Do you use Facebook? Give me your opinions of both. My opinion Twitter: I hate the fact you can anonymously go on there and blast people like Gabby Douglas. You say things you WOULD NEVER say to a person's face. I used it a bit but think it is a waste of time. It reminds me of comments sections on articles on the internet. The dregs of society gets on there and blasts away at the writer, the content of the story, everybody and anything. Facebook: It amuses me but I rarely post on it. If you do post on there, family members tend to get on there and say all sorts of dumb things. I have never posted a picture on facebook; lots of people do all the time. I think anonymity is helping ruin society and making it so full of hate. http://flapship.com/author/djshapiro/ My name is Daniel J. Shaprio. Boom, official. Gonna post the same. Now, for Twitter and FB. I use Twitter for sports news and an occasional friends tweet. Don't tweet myself, because I like full sentences and spelling. FB is one of the most useful tools out there for networking and keeping in touch.

I love these threads.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 07:49 AM) So if there was a terrorist attack in this country because the perpetrators hated America that doesn't make it a hate crime? They're often quite similar actually Sarcasm.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) I had a discussion with my buddy about Daredevil. Incredibly hard property to translate to a movie. Showing how his blindness is interpreted by him is probably the hardest part. I am looking forward to a F4 reboot though I think something like the phone system thing used by Fox and Batman in TDK would work to show his blindness at first. Then show it being refined after he's gotten use to it. Then don't show anything else from his viewpoint.

Considering that was Gordon's biggest hit in just about forever, it might just be the confidence boost he needed.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 11:13 PM) Dude blows up bridge because he is a dips*** Dude blows up bridge and claims he is doing it on behalf of an Islamic resistance group ...are those two things not different? The same thing happened but one of them has the element of terrorism added to it. Terrorism =/= Hate crime Completely different.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) Do you really think there is a person alive that doesn't know what racism is and that it exists? Geeze, we hear about it with every phantom code phrase the media makes up when anyone talks about Obama. Or anytime anyone dare opposes a mosque in their neighborhood. Or anytime someone decides they dont like illegal immigration. ... Yeah, when I was little I didn't know what racism was. It's why my best friend is half black, fourth white, fourth hispanic. We're we supposed to give a s***? Nah, we just played baseball together in little league. I remember someone questioning it once and I couldn't understand why they questioned our friendship. Then life decided to just s*** all over my innocence and teach me what racism was.

Are you really against raising awareness about racism?!

You can tell that Hawk is so happy for Beckham.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) And charging someone with a hate crime does WHAT!? Besides making you feel good. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:44 PM) I can't believe this.

SUCK A DICK MENDOZA.

AND NO TROUT TO ROB HIM. Seriously, I'm one of the biggest Gordon backers (if not the biggest) on this board. I'm so happy for him, because I know what it's like to try so hard in a sport on defense, to only blow it on offense repeatedly and feeling like you let your team down.

THE GOLDEN BOY IS BACK b****ES. JOSIE IS ON A VACATION FAR AWAY, SO GORDON f***ED SOMEONE ELSE.
