What you miss here, Mike, is that pediatricians have a habit of lambasting any parents who keep guns in their homes in any fashion, saying that it is 'unsafe'. Just read Koby's post to explain why I feel that the pediatricians should NOT be allowed to ask about guns in the homes of people, period and done with.
If they want to give the parents information on how to store guns safely, fine... but give it to everyone and leave out the bashing on gun owners.
True. Thankfully, more and more people are getting tired of that terrorism cry, realizing that terrorism is no more serious than other mass murderers, and are pushing back.
This was the proper way to express their displeasure or grievance. Use your words and not your fists, as my parents said many times, unless words don't work.
Now, this girl can say that "Words didn't work!" and can resort to the fists in my opinion.
That is why we need to have a federal level board not involving the courts that has the right to take the school system to task for Free Speech violations like this.
I wouldn't say that they are behaving like a business, I would say that they are behaving like douchebags who think that the First Amendment does not apply to children (newsflash: it does) while on school grounds.
They will stop this with "IT WILL BE USED FOR CHILD PORN!" cries, just like Tor and Freenet have been partially killed because some people use those for that.
Bill Gates is actually right on this subject. The fact is that MODERN nuclear power reactors basically cannot melt down... they are designed in such a way as to make it impossible.
Yes, it does. The last time something like this came up in Maryland, the guy filed a lawsuit against the woman who said he raped her when he was found guilty of simple assault as in this case.
Guess what? The jury sided with the guy and said "Listen... the guy was convicted of ASSAULT! Not rape! Stop telling people that he raped you or you are going to be financially penalized for slandering him!"
That was the statement from one of the jurors after the case was done.
It's also the reason why we have slander laws, so that we can shut up people like CaraDee who keep on saying "HE WAS CONVICTED OF RAPE!" by putting them in jail and/or ruining them financially.
Only in your mind. The fact is that the boy was CONVICTED of ASSAULT.... not rape. The girl has no right to keep on saying that he raped her (slander) after he has been convicted only of assault in that case.
Assault can be punching her in the face all the way down to poking someone's nose.
3 would be better as "The girl's lawyer is amazingly greedy!" most likely.
As to the people running the sports teaming being completely unscrupulous... no. At our school in Aberdeen, Maryland we had a guy who was being charged with assault with intent to kill on someone who attacked him... the school didn't keep him from staying in it or playing in extracurricular back in 1996 when this happened.
Why? Because he hadn't been found guilty and actually... guess what? The charges were eventually DROPPED after 3 juries came back with 'unable to reach a verdict'.
Apparently, you don't realize that the boy was convicted of ASSAULT. It is slander to keep on saying that she was raped when the grand jury said twice that "Hey, not enough evidence here!"
Personally, I thought that when a grand jury refuses to indict that it is the same as being found innocent in a court of law, and they CANNOT bring it in front of a grand jury again.
The girl in question said that he raped her. With all due respect, if a girl thinks that a guy has 'treated her badly' she WILL lie about that.
I know that from goddamned hard experience. I was freaking lucky that the brother of the girl in question was watching/spying on us and said "WHOA! He didn't touch my sister in any way sexually!"
To say that to plead guilty to ASSAULT says that he RAPED the girl is stretching logic quite a bit, as you pointed out.
He was convicted of ASSAULT. That is a different crime than rape, which apparently you are missing DCX2. I can be found guilty of ASSAULTING someone who said I raped them, but not found guilty of RAPE. Anyone who says that I was found guilty of RAPE is asking for a slander lawsuit.

Re: Re: The organization is immune. The individual is not.
The fact is that sovereign immunity is only supposed to exist in dictatorial governments.... not democratic ones.
