to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.
most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.
Progressives notice that Fox News has an agenda and lies to support it.
Conservatives notice that the other news outlets have an agenda and lie to support it.
Nobody (that I can see) notices that both of those statements are true.
Same shit, different day.
I'm reading a good suspense novel called "The Last Child" by John Hart. It's part of my research for a JW related thriller/suspense novel I'm in the middle of rewriting.
it would go a long way in having a law that prosecutes anybody sexually abusing a child or even an adult that encompasses all states with the same laws the same consequences and the same penalties in the country.. this system that has different laws ,different penaltys , different outcomes depending in what state you live in is ludicrous.. one country should have the same judicial system no matter how many states their are in that country.. this state has mandatory laws this state doesnt and the outcome can be so demoralising for those involved ..
In the United States, general police power is the province of state governments. Interstate trafficking in sex and child pornography is already a federal offense. If you think your state's laws are inadequate, you need to lobby your state legislature to change the law.

on may 17th, sandy berger, president bill clinton's national security adviser, voluntarily gave up his law license and with it the right to practice law.
that is a stunning move for an accomplished lawyer, one of the nation's most influential public officials.
Good grief Hecce this is so old I didn't remember posting it. I thought somebody must have hacked my account to post it. I hope you find something to do more productive than digging up ancient posts about politics.
don't post much lately, but wondering what folks are watching.
i'm enjoying the heck out of "penny dreadful", "outlander", and "grace and frankie".
.
The only series I watch with any regularity is reruns of the original CSI. I work swing shift so five nights a week I'm working during prime time. From what I've seen, I don't think I'm missing anything. On weekends I watch movies and read books. I turned off the news about a year ago, its done wonders for my mood and outlook on life.
no doubt we have all heard that well used "illustration" in public talks etc over the years:.
"if you were handed a glass of water that looked pure, but were told it has just a tiny drop of poison in it, would you drink it?".
the society has used that illustration at length to say we should avoid all influences of every part of the world.. but, as we know, the society has had a track record of errors, false ideas and doctrines.
not too long ago, i posted a topic where i pointed out that there are about 1 million xjws alive right now.
that number only represented the disfellowshipped ones... didn't account for those who had become publishers and left or anyone else who got hurt by that group by proxy.
so, why are there so few of them online?
My wife is a good example of an ex-XJW. When we first left (in 1988!) she was active in the xjw community. She spoke with me at the church we joined, and similar activities. As time went by she found better things to do, she taught preschool and ran therapy sessions for children of divorced parents. Now she's involved with various human rights groups. I think she's doing the absolute best thing to stick it to the WTBS: she's enjoying a real life.

former bus driver files lawsuit.
If being a school bus driver requires getting fingerprinted, and she doesn't want to be fingerprinted, she needs to look for some other kind of work.

There is a legal concept "De Minimis"
from free Dictionary: An abbreviated form of the Latin Maxim de minimis non curat lex, "the law cares not for small things." A legal doctrine by which a court refuses to consider trifling matters.
The law doesn't care if JW's believe they're going to heaven, paradise on earth, or Disneyland. It's irrelevant to the case. So is discussion of how the machine came to be contaminated. Legally and medically, the root cause of this incident is the refusal of JW's to accept medically necessary blood transfusions. Absent that issue, this medically procedure would have, in all probability, ended better than it did. That is the issue before the court.

What dubstepped says. Medical personnel need to keep up with advances in medicine, not changes in Watchtower theology.
