petty vandalism shouldn’t be a potential capital offense. The police chief is probably doing more to damage Rio’s reputation than the swimmers with his suggestion that pulling the gun was a good way to calm things down.

So “there is no video” and “here is video” as well as “no guns” to “ok they were held at gunpoint” were all based on tweets?

this has to be the dumbest “proof” I’ve ever seen

And here is Stein’s target audience....

if you know her personally, you should adviser to quit pandering to fringe wackos for votes

and wi-fi...damn someone already beat me to it

that’s ok, I think Jill Stein is ridiculous

They are security guards not police, so I’m not sure abuse of authority really applies. Still, taking money even if it is considered compensation under threat of violence (I would consider a drawn gun threatening) is basically the definition of robbery.
If you got into a fender bender (your fault) and the driver of…

Of course, if you are ordered to pay at gunpoint, isn’t that still robbery?

nuns in a full habit are more stereotype than actual reality these days

Agree with your first point. I don’t understand the Zika one. Why would that make it more risky for a man to hire a hooker than actual serious STDs?

ok, but are you going to support the funding for thousands more lawyers, judges, courthouses, and jails needed to do this? Without pleas at the level they are extended the system would grind to a complete halt...then we can start releasing rapists for failing to provide a speedy trial.

To be fair, that is an unavoidable consequence of people expecting “free” newspaper content. Ad revenue is the only think keeping them afloat.

and lots of mothers prefer to do it as well, it isn’t all pressure from outsiders.

THIS. He was illustrating the error of the argument not trying to backtrack

now who has reading comprehension problems? Also manners problems? You are just full of problems on a pleasant weekend.

yes, and it is true any delay results in spoiler...but people have jobs during the day when a lot of this is going on (especially on the west coast). Also ad dollars are higher during the evening. I can’t really blame NBC for this.

figure skating might be a bad example, there are many prime time figure skating events that are not the olympics.

don’t you think they did innumerable focus groups before deciding on how to present the events? It isn’t like some guy just said “hey I think women want stories about emotional journey of the athletes.”

so when the Olympics are 12 time zones away you would only watch if it were live in the middle of the night?
