Gentlemen of this forum, I rest my case. (PolSciPof stands for Political Science Professor who refers to my professor in law who happened to be a PhD in Political Science whom I want to emulate, He is the source of my posts)

Thanks for clearing that up - my head is sooo much less confused now.

His famous quote that sent shivers in the whole academic communisty (with plausible exolanations, lest I be accused of plagiarism): FREE ENTERPRISE IS NOT AFFECTED BY HURRICANE KATRINA

No worries though, I'm not about to accuse you of being a half decent speller anytime soon; nor of being a SME in the area you're studying.

Well you're a better man than I am Vern; I couldn't remotely figure out point PolSciPoof was trying make with that post, or who/what he was talking about.

I can only assume he's more familiar with the "whole academic communisty" [must be a very left-wing community  ] than I am.

Illinois soldier held in Afghanistan over child porn charges
Article Link
January 15, 2010 ASSOCIATED PRESS

GALESBURG, Ill. — An Illinois National Guard soldier in Afghanistan has been charged by the U.S. Army with possessing child pornography over pictures of a young relative his mother says she sent him.

Terri Miller of Galesburg says she sent her son, Specialist Billy Miller, pictures of the little girl to help him get over his homesickness.

The pictures show the child in a swimsuit playing a wading pool and sitting on a truck. In one, the girl is wearing a swim suit and part of her buttocks are exposed.

The Army says Miller will stay in Afghanistan until his court martial. His unit came home last August. Miller faces jail time, if convicted.

Terri Miller says the pictures are innocent. She says her son is close to the girl.

WQAD TV reports that the child is a relative whom the family says Billy treated as his own child when the girl was diagnosed with cancer as her father went through boot camp. Her father, the station reports, can't believe the charges, especially since they're on other family computers and on Facebook pages and no one else has been investigated.

"You have no clue how it eats me up", said a crying Terri Miller. "I blame myself every day, every day, if I wouldn't have sent the pictures he would be home."

Teen burned in KFC poutine mishap

An Acton teen was left with second-degree burns Saturday after having an epileptic seizure inside a KFC outlet and landing face-down in her piping-hot poutine.

Her irate father told the Sun Monday he’s not after a multi-million dollar lawsuit, he just wants to speak out to warn others and perhaps get the Colonel to turn the temperature down on the cheese and gravy.

Lee Lakin said he even accepts some responsibility for the incident because he let his daughter Kendell, 15, go to fast-food outlet alone on Saturday.

“I’m not looking for $10 million,” Lakin said. “I’m looking for someone to stand up and say, ‘We’re sorry Mr. Lakin, we’re sorry Kendell. We want to make this right and hey everybody this food is hot.’”

"Hey everybody, this food is hot."  Well, geez, I hope so!  :

Seriously?  Not to make light of the girl's problem, but short of this situation (or possibly falling asleep) who is going to stick their chin in a hot poutine?

This is reminiscent of the woman who got burned by the Tim's coffee.

Of course, people will b*tch if their food isn't hot enough.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't..........

How many times has she burned herself at home falling on the stove, or is she allowed in the kitchen.  If she banged her head on the floor would the tile contractor be sued for making the tiles too hard.  I wonder how embarassed she is at her fathers actions over this and all of the publicity that is going to come from it...locally if not further.

Alright how long till gangs start targetting this tour bus?  :

This past Saturday morning, a tour bus drove through South Central in Los Angeles. It was its first time on the route, with stops like Skid Row and the L.A. County Jail. It was the launch of L.A. Gang Tours.

Founded by an ex-gang member turned social activist, Alfred Lomas, the tour’s mission is to “provide customers with a true, first-hand encounter of the history and origin of high profile gang areas,” according to its Web site.

The tour has 12 stops, including places that have been featured in movies or that have been host to riots or violence.

The site goes on to explain that each tour will be equipped with “a guide from the South Central areas who has gained hands-on knowledge and experience of the inner city lifestyle.”

The inner city lifestyle? How exciting! Intriguing! I hope there’s blood and guts involved!

It’s a worrisome prospect, to say the least. In an age where we can communicate and travel such vast dista

nces, where information is flowing unfiltered and endlessly, it’s disappointing to see such a leap backwards in the dialogue between different cultures.

For only $65, take a walk in someone else’s shoes and see how the other half lives. It’s condescending. I doubt anyone could be convinced that a two-hour tour could encapsulate the life of one gang member, let alone entire sections of the South Central community. The tour doesn’t claim to speak for thousands, but then what does it claim to represent?

Chavez has watched movies like the "The Core" one way too many times.  :rofl:

Fox News link

The United States apparently possesses an "earthquake weapon" that set off the catastrophic quake in Haiti and killed 200,000 innocents. Don't believe it's true? Just ask Hugo Chavez.
Citing an alleged report from Russia's Northern Fleet, the Venezuelan strongman's state mouthpiece ViVe TV shot out a press release saying the 7.0 magnitude Haiti quake was caused by a U.S. test of an experimental shockwave system that can also create "weather anomalies to cause floods, droughts and hurricanes."

The dumest thing I heard today was the ATU defending this worker's action by condeming communters for not checking on him. :brickwall:

What if he was slumped down after suffering a heart attack, should we then still be disdainful because no-one knocked on the glass to make sure he was ok?  How many other medical conditions might have caused him to appear to be sleeping, rather than just being asleep? How could you tell them apart and know if was just a sleeping TTC employee?

It's easy to mock him after the fact, and probably he should be disciplined in some way if there were no mitigating circumstances. But that doesn't mean someone shouldn't have had the compassion to make sure he was ok.
