I never really liked the 'Pirates' movies that much, so I don't know how I was talked into this one. It's a shame because Johnny Depp is much better than these quirky roles he is now assigned to play. Just hope he puts a few million of this payday in his kid's college fund. The movie is pointless and tries to jump on the back of Depp to steer it. That is hardly any substitute for good story-telling and filmmaking.

If you were on the Zimmerman jury, how would you vote? 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or innocent?

Well, I'm not impressed with people who tell me that they wont respond to me anymore, and then go back to edit an existing post of theirs in order to not give a chronological impression of them responding. You lied to me!
You 'gave insight into a personal opinion', but you never 'expressed an opinion on the subject matter'? Do you realise what you just said in front of everyone? Since you are so into semantics, please explain how giving insight into your personal opinion is not expressing an opinion on the subject? I guess that's the same reasoning coming from someone who brazenly informs someone they are not responding to them, and then edits it to respond to them after the fact. Who's being dishonest here?
So you are saying that you refuse to offer a 'verdict' on the matter as a hypothetical juror, but will offer a little insight into your thinking on the matter, which is your own clever way of skirting your original contention of how people who haven't heard the entire case as a juror shouldn't have any basis to offer commentary on it. You did that yourself, and that is not misrepresentation by any means.

Still not understanding why no one else but you can get away with expressing an opinion about the verdict? After all, as you noted, that was the question this thread asked. Don't worry, no one is going to follow you and we'll leave you alone as you exit the discussion. We'll get back to the speculating on this thread without you, since you have already have done your own speculating.

You have a fragile ego, don't you? I was only pointing out the contradictions in your post. Allow me to provide a useful edit to you, since I did grasp your point about not providing speculation when you are not on the jury.
Unless you watched the entire trial, you have no basis to express an opinion on how you would have voted if you had been on the jury. From the evidence I am aware of, it looks like he's guily of voluntary manslaughter. But like everyone else here who hasn't seen the entire trial, I have no basis to express an opinoin as to how I would vote if I were on the Zimmerman jury. It is quite possible I would vote to acquit him if I heard all the evidence.
Don't worry, you can repost that without giving me any credit. I just got the contradictory stuff out of it for you. You can say you didn't 'admonish' all you want, but the fact remains that you informed people that they have no basis to express an opinion, and then expressed yours anyway. Unless you are just jumping in afterwards because everyone else did so? Either express the opinion, or stick to your initial premise of no one here having the basis to express an opinion in the first place. You can't have it both ways.

I did read your comment, no need to re-read it. What you did was piously lecture us about providing speculation as to what we think would be the result, and then provided two hypotethical verdicts of your own, taking positions on both sides. I understand your point of not knowing all the facts, and that this was purely speculation. What I didn't understand was you contributing two of your own speculations to the mix after admonishing others to not speculate.

So you admit to having no basis to express an opinion on this, yet you go ahead and express two of them - one that he's guilty of voluntary manslaughter on what you have already heard, and also raise the possibility that you acquit him based on evidence you haven't heard yet. That doesn't make any sense.

One less celebrity Scientologist
by Gopher init makes me very happy when a popular celebrity leaves a cult, because it could give others the courage to do it or start to think about leaving.. leah remini played carrie on "the king of queens", and has also been on "saved by the bell", "the talk" and had small parts in other shows.. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/leah-remini-leaves-church-of-scientology-calls-it-corrupt-report-2013117.
leah remini leaves church of scientology, calls it "corrupt": report.
the church of scientology has one less celebrity among its ranks, according to a new report: leah remini.

I find the resemblances to the early WT movement uncanny. They have a Rutherfordesque leader in Miscavige who hijacked the whole thing from Hubbard under mysterious circumstances. Hubbard's wife was considered by many to be the second in command, and two members actually produced an order from Hubbard making them senior officers while Miscavige claimed it was a forgery and pressured Hubbard's wife to resign. The new movement both within and outside of Scientology is the 'independent' movement of former members who believe in all the Hubbard writings, but reject Miscavige and the current organisation as being unfaithful to the original cause. John Sweeney's BBC documentaries were interesting in that in the second film, a high ranking Scientogist featured in the first film had defected and laid down what happened in the first and how Sweeney had been set up to yell at their PR man.

Leah Remini has apparently had enough of Scientology ... so familiar ...
by Bella15 inthe former king of queens star has left the church of scientology, the hollywood reporter confirms.. on thursday, the new york post initially reported that remini had decided to quit the controversial religion, citing a source's claim that the 43-year-old actress had been subjected to years of "interrogations" and "thought modification.".
the new york post's source added that remini decided to cease being a parishioner, in part, because of policies preventing members to question the leadership of david miscavige.. when asked for a comment, a rep for the church of scientology told e!
news: "the church respects the privacy of parishioners and has no comment about any individual church member.".

This has been subject to contradictory information at first. When the rumour first started, her husband stated that it was untrue. Her subsequent statement to the press is revealing. Notice how she was careful not to mention Scientology by name. She doesn't want to draw the wrath of their active legal team, nor does she want to poison herself with active Scientologists by associating with Rinder. They are losing members like crazy. I didn't even know that Lisa Marie Presley had left last year until I read the article about Remini. They have million dollar facilities scattered around the world that are practically empty and unused. This is exciting to watch!

To avenge something that happened a generation or two ago is hardly an excuse to issue threats for full blown racially tinged riots. Martin Luther King Jr, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela never condoned violence and they actually lived in those turbulent periods.

This is why so many people find this process a farce. It is tribalism at its worst. The threat of race riots and unrest was issued before Zimmerman was arrested and charged. Everything since then has been a negotiation.
"Will you not riot if we at least arrest and charge him?"
"No, but there had better be a guilty verdict for second degree murder!"
"Uhm, sorry, that is isn't looking plausible considering the evidence that is coming out. Will you take manslaughter?"
"Manslaughter? Are you kidding? It better be at least that, and we wont be too happy about it either!"
When the criminal justice system is so susceptible to blanket threats from one group or another, then multi-ethnic democracy is on the inevitable path to sectionalism and Balkanisation.
