12/23   Malvo gets life in prison w/o parole.  Question:  Is this punishment
        actually worse than death by lethal injection?
        \_ I say yes (unless you're terrified of death, in which case
           that'd be the worst). Life in prison, even 20+ years in
           prison, is a hugely significant event. Most of the prisoners
           I'm sure probably wish they could die after being trapped
           inside concrete walls for years on end.
           \_ Evidently not, or there'd be a lot more dead prisoners.
              It's not all THAT hard to commit suicide.
        \_ Well I'm just surprised that race wasn't brought up as an issue.
           Smart black men hire smart lawyers to defend them based on race
           and they often get away with it.
        \_ Does life without parole really mean there's no possiblity of parole
           (aside from wrong conviction) and we really never have to worry
           about seeing the convicted on the streets again?

        \_ Kudos.  I just worry that some shameless ambulance-chasing lawyer
           might sue her on behalf of the criminal.
           \_ America has more lawsuits per capita than any other nation.

9/18    Why are so many ACCOUNTANTS Jewish? Not a troll, just curious.
        Gil. Goldberg. Levy. etc...
        \_ Perhaps b/c historically Jews (unlike Christians) were allowed
           to charge interest on loans (usury).
           \_ ok, fine. What about lawyers? I don't get that one.

5/9     If U.S. doesn't do assissination, then what do you call
        Operation Neptune Spear aka "Mission Kill Bin Laden"?
        \_ I think theoretically the difference is that the goal of one is
           "kill him/her", while the goal of the other is "capture him/her,
           and don't hestitate to shoot with the possibly of killing if he/she

12/5    If Harry Potter is rewritten in a modern style using science
        instead magic, and using real people and references instead of
        fiction, what could it include? I'll start:
        -Slytherin Pureblood = Nazi Ayran
        -Muggle = melting pot
        -Dobby = Black slavery, illiterate

7/5     Job A is completely unrelated to Job B. Job A is my main job, and
        job B is what I do for fun but can't make a living out of [yet].
        Let's say job A provides me with 99% of my income. I just invested
        $20,000 for job B which currently makes only 1% of my income,
        but I hope to recuperate most of that in maybe 1-2 years. Is there
        any way deduct my tax rate that I make from job A using expenses

1/16    I don't know if anyone here has been following the Selma Hill murder
        case in Dublin, but the main suspect, Rosa Hill (ex-granddaughter-in-

        I'm appalled at her poor alibi here. I mean, caught tresspassing, armed
        at a house with a dead old lady in the trash can, and the best she can
        come up with in a week of thinking is "I just wanted to talk about

1/26    Wozniak says the the Steve Jobs movie clip is historically inaccurate,
        that Jobs was not so much a visionaire that Jobs claimed to be, as Jobs
        was just looking to make a few quick bucks. Why should we trust
        Woz's words over Jobs'?
        \_ Seriously? Read both the Steve Jobs biography and Woz's autobiography.
           Nobody contests that Jobs was a scumbag. Also: the lounge in Soda Hall.

             hot tea and corn soup.  And they are actually hot instead of warm.
