It's the correct call. Murder is usually given if there was intent to kill. Here, they were intending to beat someone. It'd be kind of like if I lost my temper and clunked a putz upside the head with my hockey stick. I sure intended it to hurt, but I didn't mean to kill him. As they did a purposeful violent act that resulted in a death, they're probably looking at voluntary manslaughter, as opposed to involuntary. But still manslaughter. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

What makes it so peculiar is that there is an enormous object repeatedly and randomly passing in front of it. (Key word being enormous: the mystery object is easily 6,500 times bigger than Earth, but probably even bigger.) A planet, right? Nope, the object’s movements are too erratic to be an orbiting planet. So what the hell is the object? There are literally just two hypotheses: 1) a cloud of comets 2) a giant Dyson sphere built by advanced aliens It’s probably just a bunch of comets. |

terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11820 | The nutty Westboro Baptist Church Extreme Christians that don't represent average Christians just as extreme Muslims don't represent average Muslims I just heard about their latest plan to protest And I'm like WTF They plan to picket Kim Davis (Ky clerk went to jail rather then issue gay marriage license) You would think they are on Team Kim, nope, they claim she is a fake Christian. Wow Do these people hate everybody on the planet? http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/10/15/westboro-baptist-church-will-picket-outside-kim-davis-office-because-shes-a-fake-christian/ Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Pretty much. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Kind of what the homophiles were saying from the beginning, pointing out her divorces and such. Never thought I would see both on the same side. The President is a fink. |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | My guess is that Playboy now wants to emulate the success of Maxim. Maxim is an international men's magazine, devised and launched in the UK in 1995, but based in New York since 1997, and prominent for its photography of actresses, singers, and female models whose careers are at a current peak. It is the largest young men's lifestyle brand in America, reaching nearly 9 million readers each month. Maxim Digital reaches more than 4 million unique viewers each month. Maxim magazine publishes 16 editions, sold in 75 countries worldwide. |

Agreed. But when other Christians spend more time demonizing gays than condemning the Westboro Baptist Church, they don't improve their collective image much. It's like when police departments keep saying most cops are decent, honorable people, and it's only a few bad apples who use "excessive" force or commit acts of police brutality. I can believe that. but when the bulk of the police force makes it a priority to protect the "bad apples," indeed when such protection is institutionalized, what impression should we take?

They have already said as much. I still predict failure, Playboy is going to look like Cadillac in the 1980s when they half-assed tried to imitate the German cars. From a pioneer to a "me too!" mag. The President is a fink. |
