That is one angry, angry man.

[Kazan]

i have much reason to be angry

[Ford Prefect]

So does everyone in this world, and as long as we are slaves to it, the world will be the same.

[Taristin]

Oh, I think you're angry enough for everyone else on the forum...

And a bit overreactive...  This has as much a chance of being passed as you do of being nominated President of Earth...

[Jetmech Jr.]

The sheer fact that such nonsense was put forward is what pissed me off...

Anger leads to hate, hate leads to....dammit, I always forget this part.

[Ford Prefect]

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering!

Jackov Smirnoff said it.


Ok, maybe it was Dan Quaile, but thet's irrelevant.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Uh...

"Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it?"

Not sure how well it fits, but it's something

Is that even how the saying goes?

If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

Since we decided to start quoting starwars...
YODA:...Soon will I rest. Yes, forever sleep. Earned it, I have.
LUKE: Master Yoda, you can't die.
YODA : Strong am I with the Force... but not that strong! Twilight is upon me and soon night must fall. That is the way of things ... the way of the Force.

My baloney has a first name, its h-o-m-e-r, My baloney has a second name, its h-o-m-e-r...

[Jetmech Jr.]

Ok, let's try to keep somewhat on-topic from here on out...

[Taristin]

Right...

We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don't know anything and can't read.

And what exactly, my dear Kazan, does America stand for?

This strikes me as an effort to limit the power that Activist judges have in effecting law that the liberal/atheistic/red diaper doper babies can't get through Congress.  It's not the way to go about it.  A better way would be to limit the scope of precedent, preferably to the point where a case would be decided on the relatonship between the evidence and the law with no interference from a pansy ass trial lawyer trying to force a beneficial decision for him or his client when the law doesn't support his position.

Are you familiar with the principle of zealous representation? The entire idea behind our legal system is that we must always push the strength of both sides to the limit, so that we can be as sure as possible that the person charged with a crime is not being tried by a society with preconceived conclusions, but by BLIND justice. A defense attorney is duty-bound to represent his or her client with as much zeal as he or she can muster, otherwise we run the risk of steamrolling over innocent people, (which happens plenty as it is.)

And I love it when people spit out "atheistic" as though it's some kind of venomous, hell-spawned curse.
