  what movie were these lines from?

  "chris knight: if you think that by threatening me you can get me to do what you want... well, that's where you're right.

  but - and i am only saying this because i care - there's a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.

  I dont think they are going after the society. It looks like a witness was selling to other witnesses.

  after replying to a recent thread, it made me think:

  i`ll bet that there are some wacky elder experiences out there.

  what was the wackiest thing you saw an elder do or say?

  I heard and elder say on the platform once that if you where not teaching your children the truth and making them go to meetings you might as well just put a gun to thier head and pull the trigger. It happened I swear. I remember hearing a gasp from the people in the hall. He was trying to make a point but boy did he get in some trouble for that one. He had to get up at the next meeting and apologize to everybody. Still a elder in good standing as far as I know.

  This was the same elder who caught hell because he brought two signs the the hall one Sunday morning that said the local football team was going to lose to their opponent and gave them to the PO sons to carry around the hall. I thought the PO was going to kill him.

  something struck me odd so i read the page again and then re watched the video.

  i live in a sports city where hockey is the national sport.

  being an oil town, we've experienced the flush of success and the misery of defeat.

  we haven't seen the stanley cup since our heyday in 1990. we're so game-crazy, the city's motto is, "city of champions.".

  hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel.

  budapest (reuters) - hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.. according to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in szeged in the south of hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out.. the website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.. according to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.. .

  I am really surprised that is an urban legend because it was reported on a well known news site.

  Did abortion lower the crime rate?

  by free2beme in

  i was watching a news program the other day, and they were using the idea that abortion has been a huge reason why crime has gone down.

  these are the reasons they said.. 1. crime in large cities started decreasing in the 1990's, roughly about 16-18 years after abortion was made legal.. 2. crime is often done by people between the ages of 16-24.

  3. abortion drops the rate and number of unwanted children being born to single mothers, or to people who do not care about them.

  This is a great topic.

  I saw the program the other night also and I have to say I always had the same idea about abortion that the program talked about.

  To counter Forscher, where the ideas in your post backed up with a study or are they just your personal views? Your first point about longer prison terms being a deterent is in my opinon not correct. Look at the death penalty. That is the ultimate sentence and yet studys have shown that the threat of it does not decrease crime.

  Your second point does make sence to me, I would not argue that point but think of this. When I was in collage my sociology professor made it quite clear to us that there was a clear link to poverty and crime. The lower the individuals income level the greater the chance they would commit a crime. There was also a link to education. If the government outlawed abortion there is no question in my mind more familys would sink into poverty because they cannot afford to take care of there kids. Therefore you will have more kids living below the poverty level, getting less of an education, and at more risk to turn to crime. So there theory does make sence to me.

  I dont think people are going to stop having sex and aparently most people just cant get it through there head that it feels good with a rubber on too. So there is a need for abortion in this country. I am not in favor of abortion, I personally would not want my wife or girlfriend to get one, but I see the need for abortion.
