If you know your going to end up in a mental institution, ya might as well go there in style and get your money's worth.

To be fair, he admitted it in his autobiography and it was when he was younger and less "enlightened." We've all made mistakes and we all change over time. Just because someone made a few mistakes, doesn't mean we should completely ignore all the good they accomplished. Obama smoked pot, and he became president. …

Oh...wow. Never thought of it that way. Not sure it holds up statistically, but it's an interesting point.

Again...never accepted the rapist's testimony. The only reason I thought the susquent beating occurred was because I thought all parties (including the prosecution and therefore the victim) admitted that it happened. I also pointed out the flaw in the article that lead me to this assumption. So I never, ever chose…

OK...fair enough. Can't argue with that.

I'm not sure why you are continuing to attack me. I agree with everything you just said and never said anything to the contrary. I read the entire article and was mislead to believe the victim admitted to the assualt. While I agree that talking about vigilante justice is not the intent the original article and a…

If you look at my previous comments I assumed it occured based on the fact I thought the article stated that the prosecution and therefore the victim admitted to the fact that the beating occurred. At no point in any of my comments did I defend the rapist (apart from defending people from vigilante justice in…

OK, so I admitted that I did not have a fully understanding of the situation due to the fact the article mislead me and YOU'RE STILL attacking me? The article vaguely states that there were two versions of the story, one from the prosecuter and one from the rapist. The article then went on to say that, "Both…

Apparently, you too have a problem with not reading because the article clearly states:

So, you're giving every person who was ever robbed, had family member killed, or was personally wronged a blank check to enact street justice? By this line of logic you would support gang wars (because most attcks are revenge related). Also, when you attack someone for revenge you are taking on the role of justice…

This was before the sentence BTW. (At least I think) After the sentencing, you may have a point. Before sentencing? No way.

If it's during the act, yes, you are defending yourself. If not, it's just vigilante justice, which is illegal. It's not up to you to determine the punishment, it's courts.

Don't forget about whatever-the-hell-face-that-is that Mike Shanahan is currently displaying on the TV in the background.

Makes sense. In a test crash the cars weight is working against it, because it's own weight is driving it into the wall. So the smart does better comparitively than the mercedes because it weighs less. When you actually crash the two cars together your weight is working FOR you (mv=mv). So the smart is actually…

That's the first thing I thought. If you can sing, you're not working hard enough.

Or even simpler, pull a Joe Gibbs and put magnets (or some sort of block) under the gas pedal. But your way makes more sense.

Well, his wife thought the new V6 was too POWAHHHful, hence the reason for selling. So he probably thought a bigger engine would have too much POWAHHH. I guess he thought the V6 was small enough, apparently not.

You're too smart for the Deadspit commentariat, Mr. Poe.

So good

That's exactly what I thought!
