Murphy really came up with most of the idea, clear up at post #5, but it sounds like we almost all agree. Maybe the DR could charter a cruise! That is of course if we could keep from shooting at each other.

J.P. Weichel, 40, allegedly posted that his ex paid her attorney with sex acts.

Has she given the lawyer any money? Have they had sex? If the answers are no and yes then the lawyer is working pro-boner.

I may change the Retort to an all-pirate news format until the next presidential election starts.

Seems like an excellent reason to revive cruel.com.

If someone was smart they'd start selling "extreme cruises", where the cruise ships try to attract pirates on purpose, and the passengers get to shoot back at them.

Name me one good thing Bush did during his presidency sanan.

You don't know either. You are guessing.

You'r right Bob, he doesn't know. He BELIIIEEEVES!

I think we should bring all of them home. Between the Navy and Marine Corps at sea and the Air Farce we can defend the sea lanes and counter a foreign attack. Better security on our borders and inspection of cargo would do more for Homeland "security" than sending troops to the meddle east.

The only thing I would add to that is; the cost securing cargo coming into this country should be paid by those who want to ship stuff here. I know...those who don't like it will whine...'that will drive the prices up'. If it becomes too expensive to ship stuff from outside, maybe we'll have to start manufacturing it here again.

And the DR atheists began their dance of joy upon hearing of his death.

Nice generalization Christine.

I didn't know him, so I don't personally feel anything regarding his death. That Ike decided it was okay to put the words in the pledge was wrong. Those words specifically exclude a segment of the U.S. citizenry from saying the official version of the pledge without being hypocritical. If the words were removed, NO citizen who wishes to recite the pledge would be excluded.

People such as Christine and ElCid obviously don't mind excluding a segment of the population, as long as they get to push a generic Gawd upon everyone.

I guess because CLinton signed the bill..

What bill?

I call BS.

I believe Johnny. I've had many arguements with others about the present official version of the pledge.

Yes, we see a persons life is worth that 5 dollar savings.

To Wal-Mart and the idiots willing to line up and play Wal-Mart's sick game, apparently that's all a life if worth.

Not only can you order the same items online, but you can also choose an individual store to go pick it up at.

The limited items that they use to attract these 5 AM crowds are NOT available online at the special prices. The only way to obtain one of these special-price/limited quantity items is to race for them as the doors open, hence the problem.

Speaking of head injuries, where's Nanc been since the election?

Please explain what Walmart could do, as suggestions to their safety people, to avoid another mishap like this and actually avoid someone being stupid enough to injure someone else in process.

I just don't buy it. Walmart could have barbed wire and land mines set up, and someone would still be stupid enough to kill someone trying to get in.

They could stop holding lost-leader sales with a VERY limited supply of those items, which would eliminate the need for people to crowd the door at 5 AM. It would be quite easy to avoid this situation. Stores like Wal-Mart are creating these mobs by their own actions.

They could hold sales on over stocked items instead, as they should be doing anyway. They could give rain checks on out-of-stock sale items. These stores ARE intentionally creating these situations by deliberately losing money on a limited number of select items in hopes of creating a feeding frenzy where the crowds will end up purchasing stuff that isn't on sale.

The best thing that could happen to stop this is if nothing was sold, EXCEPT the stuff the stores are losing money on. If that were to occur, the 5 AM Black Friday sales would come to an abrupt halt. The stores are counting on the fact that the gullible masses could never get that organized.

If we're simply speaking hypothetically, perhaps the wind farms would counter-act the increases in wind speed that may have been caused by deforestation, in places.

If there is video footage, then let the lawsuits begin against the feet of the killers - not the store.

While the retards who show up at 5 AM to break the doors and trample this worker, should carry the brunt of the blame, isn't the business at least in part still responsible for the safety of its employees and customers?

If Wal-Mart and others can't control the crowds they shouldn't have the sales. It seems at times that humans are losing the capacity to act civilized. Events such as this are undermining any sense of self control that people have left.

Get it?

I have nothing against guns, or carrying of such. I agree that if Ms. Gratia-Hupp or someone else had been carrying, in a situation with a lone gunman such as she described, the gunman probably could have been stopped.

I don't think citizens "packing heat" as you say, could have done much about the situation in India. In the confusion that would surely ensue from the mayhem of a massive firefight, I think the net result would have been approximately the same.

Although, given the same circumstances, I suppose I too would prefer the opportunity to shoot back.

Too bad nobody was packing heat.

#1 | Posted by Zatoichi

Quite obviously SEVERAL were "packing heat".

HaHa...Murphy still believes Bush cares.

Can they be charged for extra carry-on baggage instead?

Simple arm the carriers.

Not so simple, full oil tankers probably don't fair very well against rockets. Shipping may have to start running in convoys with protection, as they did during WWII.

Regardless of the idea by some that Obama's election proves racism no longer exists in the U.S., the Secret Service are going to be some busy folks for the next few years.

Why are Kansans so fucked up?? Can anyone tell Me??

Larry

You should be able to tell us. You're the one from Kansas!

While I believe if the evidence ever came to light there are probably many reasons to prosecute Mr. Cheney, this sounds like a very weak case, and probably a severe abuse of power on the part of this grand jury.
