Finally, we aren't last or second last in a national ranking!
We're average! We're average!

There are few cases in which I feel that deadly force is justifiable when the person has a knife. It's a knife. Even if he had cut her I don't think it would have been deadly unless he had been allowed to repeatedly stab her before intervention. But while I disagree that it was necessary that a shot be fired at all, the shot to the head was the right decision. The threat was eliminated. Permanently.
As per the statement what if it was my mother? Well, then the cops would have killed my brother.
The real test is not whether some wingnut on the Sun thinks "good riddance" to someone they don't know, but all the instances of family members condemning what happened on the news outlets. No justice was served for them.

Oh LarryVegas, you are just so wrong about all your assumptions and interpretations of what was written here today. It's okay. We still love you.

Deal: drop leaving the scene and resisting and plead guilty to DUI with death. He gets life, parole in 20 and one man's life is over, one woman's life is forever impacted and one guy loses his freedom, and all because he was too stupid to not drive drunk.
It's just that easy folks, get drunk, wait, call a cab or get a sober friend to drive.
Or better yet, don't get drunk, go for a run, walk your dog, play with your kids, build something, whatever...

Did any of you threatening to vote against her vote for her in the first place?
As for "reading" the bill, that annoyingly trite call to arms of the Beck worshipers that have little mind of their own, I challenge you all to read every bill, not just this one, but ALL the legislation that goes through each session of Congress, all versions, every word and comprehend without help every line and be able to on the spot explain it.
Everything related in this story bodes well for rich people and small business owners. Why is that a problem for all you conservatives? That's a republican stance if I've ever heard one.
Did any of you even read the story, or did you just see the title referring to Titus and figure it's a good place to voice an opinion that is already formed that she is bad for Nevada?
I think I see the same names in every story about Reid as well.

Good point mr_meowington. The idea that a public service can work in one state that supports it and fail in another that does not is important to note.
Personally, I've never had a bad time at the DMV in Las Vegas. But I'm not the typical Vegas "must get to the red light before you to prove I'm a man" type.
This town would make a mockery of any public option, just like it has of the current state. Las Vegans are just too transitory, uneducated and selfish to ever really pull off the coordination and patience it would take to successfully create a better life for themselves health care or otherwise.

Although I am a union supporter, this is pretty lame. Vaccine or mask? completely reasonable and not an infringement of rights. Be flexible. This isn't a new condition of employment, it's an emergency response to a perceived national health threat.
Next in the news, "Teacher's union refuses to break up schoolyard fights, says not in contract."

Well, of course ignorance will reject experiences that contradict held beliefs and perceive the experiences that support held beliefs as being a larger and/or more important portion even when confronted with evidence to the contrary.
for example:
Male drivers, drivers in the 21-34 age group, and drivers who are of the "white" race constitute the largest percentage of drunk (or impaired) drivers in fatal crashes. (NHTSA)
Or:
The majority of welfare recipients are white.

There are too many trolls on the lvsun site. Beck and Limbaugh? Really? Why is this a relative topic to the H1N1 article above?
As much as I dislike Beck or Limbuagh's opinions I found no reason to bash them here about this topic when the article itself didn't even mention them. So let's be honest this is really all about giving mred (and people in other articles' comments) a soundboard to complain about random things and make pseudo-political statements based on little more thought than it takes to sneeze.
...sigh...
yeah, yeah, anyone that believes something i don't is an idiot.... We heard you all, now can we get back to something vaguely resembling rationality?

For afvetern and CityCenterGirl, we already have the largest prison population in the world both in number and per capita. Are you both really naive enough to think that rapists think about prison before they commit their act of violence? Do you really believe there are people in this world that have a story that goes, "Well, I was going to rape her, but then I thought better about it 'cuz 20 years is along time!" Punishment isn't enough. We need to stop the environment and culture that allows these acts to propagate. And that's what these events are about: Informing young people how to make sound choices and to stand together for their rights as human beings. And yes, with that comes the frickin' Vagina Warriors poetry, but I would rather deal with that than go back 50 years.
We can do more to change the world with how we raise our children than how we punish our adults.
