I am not denying the possibility, but it goes both ways. When you speak of a greater being, I'm assuming you mean some version of a 'god' being. I have a dear friend who deeply believes life on earth came from Martians. As in actual living beings who come from the planet Mars. She has very coherent theories and…

Loved your input, but the scientist in me must point out the difference between absence of evidence vs evidence of absence. To an extent (as in everything is always a theory), I can proof something does not exist by the evidence of absence. As an example, numerous studies have proven the evidence of absence for the…

As both an atheist and Doctor of Philosophy in Geophysics, I can tell you that is exactly how science works. I cannot proof the big bang created the universe. I can point to the preponderance of evidence that supports my belief in the big bang. I can point to the fact there have been no scientific findings that…

Or it could be the tooth fairy using her omniscient power knows your tooth is not good enough for her collection.

While your assumption that poor and stupid is interchangeable in 'some people's mind' is open to debate, I would say there is empirical proof that the poorer the community, the higher the religious beliefs. Here's an international view; I'll leave it to you to pull the US mappings.

So what exactly should a woman in her 40s look like in your judgmental world?

For a true traveler, the destination is never the 'point'. Learn how to enjoy the adventure and you'll have a much happier life.

By magic of course!

Yeah...I remember how that gay variable was just going to ruin the SEALS and leave America wide open to attack. How did that analysis go for them?

Interesting. As SEALS have never allowed any women in the ranks, exactly what experience do they have in these matters? I'd hate to think they're getting their ideas about interpersonal relationships from anything but direct experience.

So is your solution to lock all sequestered juries into solitary confinement? Or do you prefer we allow sequestered American's out once in awhile but make it contingent that their deliberation and verdict is approved by the majority?

Well, as the jurors had to pay for their own mani/pedis, I guess you wouldn't have joined in on that excursion. You would have had every right to stay in your room and spend none of your own dollars.

I hear what you're saying, but it's irritating because it's stupid to blame the sequestered jury system for the outcome. Another troll on this thread thinks it is an 'issue' because they got 22 days worth of 'pampering' when they only took 16 hours for the verdict. So would these expenditures have been okay if the…

My last job I would travel from my arid Colorado home to NC about 50% of the year. I loved what the humidity did to my hair!!! Waves galore! On really 'bad' days, I'd come out with the cute bed-head curls! And so shiny & soft! Never having to worry about dry air static making me look like I just got zapped.

I love how the 'Note' at the end quietly mentions these women had to pay for all services and experiences themselves. So basically the beef is they were allowed outside of their rooms? Being on a sequestered jury should not mean you are held in solitary detention. The fact any excursion required a chaperon is a…

Diamond Dallas Page will be very pleased with that tattoo.

Only if I can ask who "Katherine Kepburn" is. I would hate to think she meant Katharine Hepburn.

You misunderstood me. You stated Laura 'is better than this' which from the past few months I highly doubt. With the "I'm not judgmental, but everyone who eats meat sucks" along with 90% of her current work being either the cute kid, cute kitten or cute puppy of the day or a rehash of something that was on Gawker…

"I know you are better then this bullshit"

I've never tried angel hair at home...guess I'm going to have to add that to the list and see if it speeds up my late night snack attacks.
