Yes I exceed the speed limit, and when caught I pay the fine as dictated by law, it's happened before and it will happen again. I do smoke joints and if caught I will suffer the penalty of law.

If I were to disclose classified military documents to unauthorized personnel I would expect to feel the penalty of my actions. for the next 35 years Manning can contemplate this, while I pay my speeding tickets and smoke my doobies.

"no one has been reported dead from the revelations"...."Kadaffi".....you have absolutely become entertaining and have peaked my interest, .....please continue.

For the record, I also turn right on red lights, I've been known to use my phone while driving, I still use plastic bags at the grocery store because I can carry more at one time, I have an accountant do my taxes so I can't claim to be criminal there but I do buy my cigarettes on the reservation because they are tax free. Oh, and I water my lawn more than the city dictates I am allowed.

Pic Of The Moment: Justice? [View all] EarlG Aug 2013 OP

Sorry Brad, you're group 2 MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #1

As awful, awful as Bush was, at least he *asked* ProSense Aug 2013 #17

Which is appropriate to this post *how*? nt MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #20

In the same way as the one you posted. You should thank me for helping to give it exposure. n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #23

The OP refers to two classes of people, as did my reference MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #49

This seems like another effort to deflect attention away from the point of the OP mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #50

LOL! ProSense Aug 2013 #53

Your opinions are based on carefully-selected facts, at best mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #57

No, that's your argument ProSense Aug 2013 #64

Nonsense, and spare me the strawman pity. ProSense Aug 2013 #94

Sure you do, and you deflect people's attention from the issues mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #102

What a silly comment. ProSense Aug 2013 #126

Do you call this a personal attack mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #179

Your comments are becoming defensive. n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #180

This is a pretty standard technique mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #183

You appear to be projecting. ProSense Aug 2013 #184

I'm attacking you because your "arguments" are dishonest mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #187

No, you're doing it because you have no rebuttal on the issues. ProSense Aug 2013 #188

"I mean, your excuses are completetly disingenuous" mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #189

What's hilarious ProSense Aug 2013 #190
