Apparently Fergie (of The Black Eyed Peas) did a terribad rendition of the national anthem at the NBA All-Star game.

they should find someone with ability to sing it, someone whose singing style fits the Anthem sung straight. The Anthem is not rap, rock, swing, or Jazz song.

I entirely agree. Sing it straight or find someone else who can.

I entirely disagree. We should just stop signing the national anthem at sporting events.

i see it… and i left it.

I get what you’re saying…you’re advocating for singing “I Wish I Was in Dixie” at sporting events! Yeah, I know what you’re doing: “I see it… and i left it,” meaning “Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.” You may think you could get away with your subliminal message, but I’m on to your Confederate sympathies!

darth_ender would just approve it anyway. 😄

Actually, this would probably have been the first time I would have shot a thread idea down.

I’m afraid that there cannot be too many movie threads. If we can justify creating another, then by golly, we should do it!

Ah, but the original intent only allowed you to see up to five minutes of the movie…and besides, that thread has been repurposed.

it’s hard to imagine that access to guns would even do much

I agree and it’s why I think the “we need our guns in case the government goes crazy” argument is nonsense.

No! We need a right to fly fighter jets and a right to drive tanks and a right to own nuclear silos! The Second Amendment needs to be updated!

There was a recurring character on the Bob Newhart show, Norman the doorman. Quite a few episodes into the show, Norman announces he’s got plane tickets to go on a trip. Bob looks at his tickets and says, “Oh, I never knew your last name before. Corman. Norman Corman. The doorman.” Norman nods, and say how happy he is to finally get to see his brother, who’s usually very busy. He’s in construction, you see. “He’s a… foreman?” guesses Bob. Norman nods. He grabs his tickets, tips his hat, and says, “Okay, good-bye, off to Utah!”

That is awesome! I love it!

On a separate note

Apology accepted, Captain _ender.

I really am apologizing and didn’t see this post till after my last, so please don’t take my last post too harshly. I obviously did misunderstand you and I admit that.

TV’s Frink said:

Or maybe it was because you just flat out dismissed me and/or yhwx as being “wrong” so I was correct in deciding the discussion wasn’t worth the effort as I had previous said?

Nah, I was probably calling you a sexist who approves of rape culture. That makes much more sense.

LOL Coming from literally one of the most dismissive posters on OT.com…

I wasn’t even dismissive to you until after you decided not to jump in. Which, in turn, could easily lead me to think that perhaps you thought my motives were less than noble.

How often have liberals used such arguments against those who oppose their points of view? The phrase “War on Women” comes to mind. Forgive me for thinking that you, in appearing to support such a clear violation of due process (through the implied edits, as I never actually read the original posts you and yhwx made), might think that someone who thinks that a likely rapist deserves a fair trial is being sexist.

However, since I was obviously in error in how I interpreted your words, I do apologize for that.

On a separate note, without joining in further on the discussion as it had evolved since the 14th, I just want to say that, as a conservative, one of the biggest areas where I have gone to the Left has been over gun control. The biggest reason why I oppose an all out ban is because of part of the intent of the Second Amendment as a check against governmental tyranny and overreach: the people should be able to rise up against the government in the most extreme of circumstances (of course, considering the United States’ capacity to destroy, it’s hard to imagine that access to guns would even do much).

That said, there is clearly not enough legislation to control the distribution of guns. All gun owners should be licensed, all license-holders should go through mandatory training and routine re-licensing, and all weapons should be registered. The Second Amendment itself seems to lend itself to it (i.e. a “well regulated militia”). We do this sort of thing for cars, and I can’t imagine the reasoning for not holding gun usage to the same standards.

?

Though I could be wrong, it seems yhwx and Frink think that my reason for supporting a fair trial may be rooted in sexism or tolerance for a culture of rape.

Um…what?

Based on this post…

JEDIT: Probably not worth it.

Being wrong usually isn’t.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand you just proved my decision correct.

I feel you may think that I am a sexist who does not want to do enough to combat sexual assault. Like I said, I could be wrong, but then I don’t know what the meaning of your post was.

I so seldom have time to post here these days that, again, I feel like I am never able to craft a nicely worded and individualized post for those of you going through hard times. Just know that I hope all of you realize your worth and make it through your difficult times, or that health comes to you and/or your family members. Hang in there, my friends.

I guess I’m insane too then because I really don’t care for Batnolan.

The former does not depend on the later, but it is true nonetheless.

I’ve been on the hunt hoping to find a shot of James Earl Jones saying the words “Your Mother”.

Oh yeah? Well, I’ve been trying to find a clip of him saying “Your Mother”.
So there.

ALLOL!

The nation’s highest military court has thrown out the 2012 rape conviction of a Coast Guard enlisted man because admirals and prosecutors packed the seven-member jury with five women, four of whom held jobs as advocates for victims of sexual assault.

Due process?

I’m still annoyed by what appear to be the beliefs of some of this forum’s regulars. It’s not just the tolerance for improper jury selection, but the apparent perception of those who advocate for proper justice as well.
