    Marz, you are the one being reasonable on this topic, don't listen to MD and Nuns.. They have no concept of law and order or how it works apparently...

    I'm done posting on this topic and moving on..

    So JIBBBY's argument is "if you think the legal system ever gets it wrong, you're an idiot"?

    I'm surprised you don't drown to death in your bathtub.

    We have a broken tax system but that is another topic completely.. 60 minutes reported last week that Tax fraud is at an all time high in our Country.. Criminals making false tax claims under fake social security numbers and getting checks in the mail..

    Welcome back Sider we missed you...

    Medium play - CWB - country dude on Blake's team - might have the most polished voice out of all the competitors - plus I always like to have a country pick on these shows - feel like most votes come from middle america

    Small play - Reagan - she definitely is not the best singer but she is like 15 or 16 and very comfortable in her own skin - could see the kids liking her and keeping her around
    Lost my 1 & 3 horses in the first week. No bueno. They both tanked pretty bad from earlier shows. Should have backed Taylor as the young person appeal play. Good news is CWB was strong and I think I would make him favorite to win the show at this point. Would rank Taylor 2nd.

    I'm late to the party, but from what I've read, Michael Brown was not shot in the back like the friend says, the killshot was in the top of his head as he ran toward a cop. The forensics have proved that.

    It's not a matter of the cop being judge, jury, and executioner, it's a matter of a cop defending himself. He shouldn't have ran away just because Brown didn't have a weapon (and according to his meticulously calculating testimony, Brown had his hand inside his waist band). According to his story, he was trying to keep eyes on a suspect in a burglary (and at that point someone who had tried to take control of his weapon - see: blood in the police car)

    I'm certainly open to discussion, this is what I've gleaned from reading all the information I can get my hands on.

    This is untrue. Forensics proved that he was shot in the front, they could in no way support the idea that he was running towards the officer. Forensics couldn't even prove that Brown reached for Wilson's weapon.

    The suspect in a burglary he was trying to keep eyes on was Brown himself, which the officer claimed he only realized after asking Brown not to J-walk.

    Terrific book, could probably be about 1/5 as long and say as much however. The concept of survivorship bias is something everyone should understand deeply before they start tailing others.

    We can take this out of Nunya's thread if he doesn't want it junking up info relevant to sports betting.

    Please don't take offense to my questions, it seems everyone I try to talk to about this becomes annoyed that I have an open mind to both sides. I am trying to digest the information available and make sense of it all.

    The above seemed to support the claim that Brown was running toward the officer, I am not sure why else his head would be turned down in that manner, but maybe it's possible that he was in the process of falling to the ground from the previous shots?

    I don't take any offence at all. I hope you don't think I was mocking you or anything.

    Why would he be staring at the ground while running? I think it's incredibly rare to find people who run in that manner. There are a ton of reasons his head could be tilted down like that, not the least of which is the alleged story that he came forward with his hands up; if your hands are up, your head is generally tilted downwards.

    Dear Nuns,

    Your idle threats and MD like constant insults don't bother me.. Just shows how childish and insecure you really can be when someone disagrees with your take on a certain topic.. Like I said I'm moving on..

    You are always right and all knowing on everything, what was I thinking to question Nuns?.. My bad.. LOL..

    Grow up,

    I'll be courteous and not quote you, but it's hilarious that you're replying to someone who just ignore-listed you. All your ex-boyfriends must have a great time with you, knowing that you'll spend hours at a time emailing them even though they blocked you months ago.

    If you change nothing but a couple of the names, these still fit.



    He laid still as JIBBBY hiked up his shirt and started to kiss his chest. ‘Hey JIBBBY how much have you smoked today?’ Nunya asked, confused.
    ‘None, you want me to stop?’ JIBBBY asked, leaning over on Nunya’s stomach and twisting his belt.
    ‘penetrate no, just making conversation,’ Nunya said as he pushed JIBBBY’s hand away and undid his own belt. Nunya kind of guessed that JIBBBY hadn’t been the academic type at school and JIBBBY wasn’t gonna give ‘the eggheads’ a run for their money, but he had to give it to him, the kid knew how to give a good blowjob.

    Nunya or anyone else..

    Do you know the rationale of 5Dimes moving lines and playing with juice?

    Example, Bears Lions tomorrow. The default view on 5D is:

    305 Chicago Bears <input id="editx" name="S1_0" size="4" style="font-size: 1em; color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"> <select id="altS1_0" name="altS1_0" style="font-size: 1em; color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"><option value="0" selected="">+7½ -135</option><option value="1">+7 -115</option><option value="2">+6½ +105</option></select>
    306 Detroit Lions <input id="editx" name="S2_0" size="4" style="font-size: 1em; color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"> <select id="altS2_0" name="altS2_0" style="font-size: 1em; color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"><option value="0" selected="">-7½ +115</option><option value="1">-7 -105</option><option value="2">-6½ -125</option></select>

    Why do they list it at 7.5 rather than 7?

    How is what I posted "licking Nunya's ass"? Wouldn't it then also be "licking JIBBBY's ass"? Sounds like you're looking to write an erotic fan fiction of your own.

    I've always believed it had something to do with teaser protection. Not any good examples of it this week, but usually there are. The default line is their teased line, so usually they'll move a +2 line to +1 or even pk with some juice instead.
