Good question. You really want to know go back and read every post I’ve ever posted in Great Debates. After that go down to the gun shop, pick up a pistol, and shoot yourself right between your beady little eyes.
And yes I am in a fucking pissy mood today, want to make something of it assbrain?
Look at yor last paragraph there, xeno, ol’buddy, and you will see the jury DID “perform their civic duty”. They cannot decide on guilt based on gut feelings, or evidence we saw but they didn’t, but on whether or not the DA proved her case beyond “all reasonable doubt”. And she didn’t, and you (&I) agree on that, and thus they were right to vote “not guilty”, even if; in yours, mine and 70% of America’s opinion the bastard is as guilty as hell.
And if you WERE one of those extreme few that followed the trial religously, and read all the doc, BUT did not read or hear or see anything that the Jury did not, then I apologize. Yes, I know you didn’t, but you did see/hear enuf to form a reasonable opinion OJ was guilty, and I agree with you. But if you did not see ONLY and ALL the evidence the Jury saw, you should not condemn their decision.
I don’t give a flying rat’s ass if you’re in a “pissy” mood or not, oldscratch. I realize this is the Pit, but for fuck’s sake it was a serious question. Of course, your little temper tantrum makes it 100% more likely that I’ll actually take the time to trawl through GD. Then again, maybe I will, if only to see if you always react in such a hysterical and out-of-proportion manner to a simple fucking question. Get a grip, dude.
And that’s Ms. Cracker to you.
Hey. I’ll call you Ms. Queen of the fucking space harpies if I want. No I don’t react in this manner usually. And I was being fucking serious, (except for the gun part of course).
So if you don’t like pissy rude answers, don’t fucking ask them in the pit. Ask them in some other fucking forum. Of course I shouldn’t have to even tell you that nimrod. I’m sorry Ms. Nimrod.
and fuck off.
You’re just a ray of sunshine in this otherwise dreary day, oldscratch. I can hear the birds singing whenever I read your words.
Um, no thank you.
Hey amulet, I try. And if I was able to bring some joy to your otherwiseobviously dreary and pointless existence, than my mission is complete.
Well, you did make me laugh. Does that count?
Absolutely. I’m also performing a much needed function by increasing your post count. Right now you are much to lowly to be noticed by any of our resident post count snobs.
You should be on your fucking knees thanking me right now, space harpy. 
On my knees thanking you, huh? I wonder where this is going…
Hey. That’s it. You are now my official favorite Space-Harpy. Happy now? see what you’ve made me do? I’m going to have to add your name to the Straight Dope crush list, and I had such a good little hissy fit going too. You’ve ruined it.
What can I say? I learned the way to a man’s heart a few years ago. Now, be nice and tell me which GD threads I should be looking at.
(And sorry about the hissy fit. I’ll make it up to you, I promise.)
Just do a search on communism or socialist and my name. Look for any threads that I’ve posted to that contain subjects about america. And presto there you go. Also I’m going to be starting a GD thread soon that will probably answer most of your questions.
Sweet_Lotus,
HOLY SHIT ! ! !
I could not agree with you more. I hate juries with such a passion. A jury is just 6-12 people too fucking stupid too get out of jury duty. God damn retarded fucks. One of the OJ jurors were interviewed after the trial and she was asked why she voted the way she did. She was asked “How could you vote Not Guilty after seeing all that DNA evidence”
Her response was, “Well more than one person can have the same blood type.”
BLOOD TYPE?!?!? What the fuck was she doing for the months of the trial, sleeping?? It’s like she just ignored everything they said because she thought they were talking about his blood type. What an ignorant, welfare collecting, dirty ass, cunt-bitch.
Because of idiots like her, the trial by jury system is so fucked up.
Here in Tampa shit like this happens all the time. I fucking hate juries.
Here are the facts of the case:
13 year old babysitting a 3 year old.
The boyfriend of the baby’s mother comes over.
The boyfriend and baby are in a bedroom and the babysitter is not on the living room couch.
Babysitter hears loud screams of terror coming from baby in the room.
Boyfriend comes out of room with a hard-on and blood all over his boxers, around his dick.
Babysitter calls cops.
The baby was so badly damaged that her vagina and anus were now one hole. He tore into that poor baby. There is no worse or more evil thing a human can do. In Florida the man would have fried if convicted.
NOT GUILTY.
What the fuck??? How the hell can you find that man not guilty?? Did the baby magically get a dick rammed into her tiny little hole???
One juror later said that, “We couldn’t believe a man would be capable of that”
What fucking planet do these people live on? The live sheltered little lives and they have no idea about what goes on around them.
A year ago I was ranting about how much ass jury’s suck. I said the entire system should be changed. Only inteligent people should be jurors. At least people with a fucking clue!!
A man overheard me talking and he began saying how he was once on a jury and how it is the best thing there is. He told me about a case he decided over. It was a DUI. The man said that he found the driver not guilty because the cops took so long to give him a breathalyzer test. (Here, the person is giving the exam at booking so it may be a while before he gets it). The man said the cops took longer so that the alcohol would have more time to get in his system and he sould have a higher reading.
I looked over at the man and I just wanted to fucking punch him. I thanked him for proving my point.
Time gives the liver more time to rid the body of alcohol. Nobody on this fucking planet gets drunker with time. MY GOD!!
I will not even talk about the jury that awarded an old lady millions of dollars for spilling hot McDonalds coffee on herself.
Anyway, that is my experience with the whole thing. IMHO jurors today are ignorant, sheltered bastards who have no idea of the law and no clue what they are doing.
"not on living room couch should be OUT on living room couch.
Boy. I really fucking hate morons. Espcially morons that think they are smarter than juries when they obviously aren’t. Hey bear Nanno, you can hear fucking soundbites and repeat them. Any other tricks? Can you shit without your mamma too?
The McDonald’s verdict. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Mcdonalds kept it’s coffee much hotter that was legally acceptable. they had been warned about it before, they had ignore warnings, if the coffee had been at a slightly cooler temperature, she would not have been so injured. Of course, you in your infinite wisdom, could not be bothered to examine the facts of the case. Go fuck yourself
Oh yeah, I cannot believe I forgot about that whole British Nanny case. Thank god judges have the power to overturn rulings by dumbass juries. They should use that power more often.
Oldscratch,
What kind of hypocritical piece of shit would tell me I did not get the facts, and not even supply a source? Do you always just make up the facts?? From what I heard of that, the temperature of the coffee was taken and it was withing normal parameters. As for the other cases, Court TV shows entire proceedings, not just sound bites. If I did not watch the case, then I would not be commenting. That is why I said I would not comment on the McDonald’s case.
Go ahead, show me a source that says otherwise. Until then, keep your critisism focused on your mother’s poor attempt at a child, you lame ass, ignorant fuckwad.
To me, the temperature of the coffee wass not the issue. I don’t really give a flying fuck if the coffee was thermonuclear hot. The fact is the old lady was driving or something and poured coffee on herself by herself. If she was so concerned about not getting burnt, she should have waited before drinking it.
We all should learn to take some responsibility. What if she had made the coffee herself? Who would she have sued then, herself?
She probably would sue the company that produced the Coffee maker for creating a product that would make something so hot. Or maybe the store for selling such a dangerous item. Then, because of lame-ass jurors, she would get millions.
Back to the OJ trial, you guys are all making it too complicated. Forget the DNA, the prosecution not doing their job, the LAPD planting evidence. The reason why the jury voted not guilty was:
“If the glove doesn’t fit - you must acquit”.
Heck, that’s what it came down to. They should have gone straight to the glove and saved 3 months.
