Why?
Is it that every time there is a tv show or a story on tv news someone feels they have to tell everyone on GB about it? Do you think we all live back in the mountains and come out once a week just to check GB for news? I have five tv's and I get two news papers. I read Readers Digest and Time among others. I don't need old news! A lot of us knew about the things you are reporting before you were hatched!

Marine Home From Iraq War, Wife Allegedly Assaulted Outside Florida Theater by Teen Mob
How is it that a citizen of this great Nation is assaulted at a damn movie and it's a misdemeanor charge for the damn assailants, but add a LEO to the equation and all the sudden the same assaulters are now facing a felony?
So, average citizens are trying to enjoy a movie and are terrorized by these idiots and "oh well" it's a minor incident, but add a man who straps on his gear each day knowing he'll face idiots such as this, and its a felony? What gives?
This makes me mad on sooooo many levels.
Your thoughts?

I have noticed a couple of things about the ppl in this forum, and the same may hold true in other forums, but for now its this one I have seen it happen in most...
Why is it when a "hot topic" like illegal immigration, abortion, gun rights, child molesters etc hit the news and then hit the discussion here, we get a whole lot of newbies who already know how to post, know the first names of most of the other posters, and type a whole lot like other ppl in here?....why only on hot topics?..
Yes I know I am going to be "bit**ed at for ranting, but I have just washed my floors, did 2 loads of laundry, and deciding what to have for dinner when classic comes home so go bit** at someone who really cares...*LOL0 -
Black Friday saw a record number of gun transfers according to NICS. I am hearing that gun sales are going through the roof right now.

Why does our government waste money on illegal aliens to feed, house, educate and medicate them? Why do they bring these unvetted immigrants into this once great country to give them everything their hearts desire?
Our country has lost all respect and honor of other nations/peoples it ever had and is so close to, or on the edge, that we will never recover.
We need to help these people before we help all of the others!

US's most powerful nuclear bomb being dismantled
AMARILLO, Texas (AP) - The last of the nation's most powerful nuclear bombs - a weapon hundreds of times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima - is being disassembled nearly half a century after it was put into service at the height of the Cold War.
The final components of the B53 bomb will be broken down Tuesday at the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, the nation's only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility. The completion of the dismantling program is a year ahead of schedule, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration, and aligns with President Barack Obama's goal of reducing the number of nuclear weapons.
Thomas D'Agostino, the nuclear administration's chief, called the bomb's elimination a "significant milestone."
Put into service in 1962, when Cold War tensions peaked during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the B53 weighed 10,000 pounds and was the size of a minivan. According to the American Federation of Scientists, it was 600 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, killing as many as 140,000 people
and helping end World War II.
The B53 was designed to destroy facilities deep underground, and it was carried by B-52 bombers.
With its destruction, the next largest bomb in operation will be the B83, said Hans Kristensen, a spokesman for the Federation of American Scientists. It's 1.2 megatons, while the B53 was 9 megatons.
The B53's disassembly ends the era of big megaton bombs, he said. The bombs' size helped compensate for their lack of accuracy. Today's bombs are smaller but more precise, reducing the amount of collateral damage, Kristensen said.
Since the B53 was made using older technology by engineers who have since retired or died, developing a disassembly process took time. Engineers had to develop complex tools and new procedures to ensure safety.
"We knew going in that this was going to be a challenging project, and we put together an outstanding team with all of our partners to develop a way to achieve this objective safely and efficiently," said John Woolery, the plant's general manager.
Many of the B53s were disassembled in the 1980s, but a significant number remained in the U.S. arsenal until they were retired from the stockpile in 1997. Pantex spokesman Greg Cunningham said he couldn't comment on how many of the bombs have been disassembled at the Texas plant.
The weapon is considered dismantled when the roughly 300 pounds of high explosives inside are separated from the special nuclear material, known as the pit. The uranium pits from bombs dismantled at Pantex will be stored on an interim basis at the plant, Cunningham said.
The non-nuclear material and components are then processed, which includes sanitizing, recycling and disposal, the National Nuclear Security Administration said last fall when it announced the Texas plant's role in the B53 dismantling.
The plant will play a large role in similar projects as older weapons are retired from the U.S.'s nuclear arsenal.0 -
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A western Kentucky man convicted of raping and murdering an honor student had his death sentence overturned by a federal judge who said Tuesday that justice demands a new hearing even though there's no doubt about the brutality of the crime.
U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Russell sent 34-year-old Robert Keith Woodall's case back to state court for re-sentencing. Russell found that the state judge improperly instructed the jury before sentencing and denied Woodall a chance to object to a black juror being dismissed.
"The crimes Woodall admitted to committing are revolting and despicable," Russell wrote in a 92-page ruling. "There is also no question that the victim and her family deserve justice. However, ours is a system of law that is concerned with justice for both the victim and the accused."
Woodall in 1998 pleaded guilty to killing 16-year-old Sarah Hansen after abducting her from a convenience store in Greenville in western Kentucky. A jury sentenced him to death for the murder plea and life in prison for kidnapping and rape.
Hansen, a member of the National Honor Society, vanished on Jan. 25, 1997, after going to the store to rent a movie with plans to return home and watch it with her boyfriend. About two hours later, police began searching for Hansen before finding the minivan she was driving at Luzerne Lake, about a mile and a half from the store.
Officers followed a 500-foot long blood trail from the van to the lake, where they found Hansen's unclothed body floating and her throat slashed. DNA, fingerprints and footprints led to Woodall. His case was later moved to Caldwell County because of pretrial publicity.
Russell's decision rapped the state court judge for failing to properly instruct the jurors on how to consider Woodall's decision not to testify at the sentencing hearing. Russell also found that the court should have held a hearing after prosecutors used a challenge to excuse the lone black person remaining in the jury pool.
Under federal law, it is impermissible to eliminate minorities from a jury pool, regardless of the race of the defendant.
Allison Gardner Martin, a spokeswoman for the Kentucky Attorney General's Office, said prosecutors have 30 days to decide whether to appeal the ruling.
"There is no question a bout Robert Keith Woodall's guilt in this case," Martin said.
Ralph Vick, the commonwealth attorney whose office prosecuted Woodall, also declined comment.
Woodall's attorney, David Harshaw, said the ruling wasn't a surprise. Depending upon appeals, it could be some time before Woodall returns to court for resentencing, he said.
"We could be talking a period of years," Harshaw said. "It's difficult to say."
Someone tell me why the death penalty should be overturned simply because it was an all white jury. The POS admitted to killing the girl...hell there was a 500 foot long blood trail from the van to the lake. He should have been taken straight to the chamber from the court room.0 -
Why is it when Saxon states his opinion there has to be a comment about his degree of education?. No remarks about his opinion. Is this board not about opinions?.
I think Saxon more than anyone here has laid his life open for all to see. He has spent his time on the street, In the bars, And on the ground. This has been backed up by people who have known him for many years.
When I first came on this board the very people that bash Saxon for his education. Bashed me for my poor spelling. After being humiliated, And ready to go off in shame. A private E-Mail showed up from Saxon. Telling me how to cut and paste. Also not to give up. So what we have is the same people bashing those with more education than there selves, And the ones with less.
When a member falls on hard times is Saxon not one of the first to respond with words of encouragement. If a member has good news. He is right there with praise.
I think of this like building a large stone wall. We need the educated man to design the wall. We need the man on the pick and shovel to build the wall. I guess the bashers are what we use to fill in the cracks.
I have herd it said we fear that we don't know. I think some here fear men who do know.
So bash on varmit the un educated for a spell.

Was filling classic's thermos this morning (range morning) and when purchased it said to "activate" by pouring hot water into it, let is sit, then filly with desired beverage....
WHAT THE HELL FOR?...You are filling it with hot coffee,...why the need for hot water?....its not a hot/cold thermos, which by the way, tells you to "activate" by putting EITHER hot or cold water into it, depending on what you are going to put into it after...
The thermos is always washed after he uses it, rinsed then put away till needed again....when taken out, I rinse it out again, then start the "hot water activation" mode....that is so senseless....
Does anyone know why?...Cant the hot coffee activate it?....or is it just a manufacturers thing?.0 -

Why is this Florida murder trial news worthy?
We had a woman (not in our town) put her infant child in a washing machine, the baby died. That did not make a dent even in local news.
Could some one let me know why we have to have 24 hour coverage of the Anthony woman? The news folks go on and on about how pretty the little girl was, does that really matter?
I am just not understanding something.0
