Ferguson Shooting (Is my thinking on this all wrong.......)
by out4good3 ini think everyone here can agree that walking down the street, even in the middle of the street, is not cause for having a clip emptied in your ass......... i can understand how the black community would be outraged by the injustice of seeing another black man dead in the street at the hands of the police under mysterious circumstances....... i hope that i'm not succumbing to the attempts to assinate the already well impuned character of the dead man...... however.
i can't help but think that this could all have been avoided by exercising the proper discretion with fore-knowledge of the disadvantages people of color have when they are dealing with law enforcement in the united states.
it is not as if this disadvantage has only since recently came to light.

I believe it does come from that scripture they love to quote "You Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth Shall Set You Free" ...... There is also a book. I think it was called "The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life".
That's what I was taught, being a 3rd gen on one side, 4th on the other.
Okay, now I must go vomit. ;)

I was so young, and the Lie was all I knew. My family had kept me completely isolated from the outside world. When I saw the hypocrisy, it all happened at once. My natural logic kicked in and said "wait a minute - they are hypocrites and it is all a bunch of lies. There *is* no God." So I left the religion, and my family, in one fell swoop. One Thursday night I said "no KH", and 3 weeks later (thanks Mom, for kicking me out), I had my own apartment and a new job.
Emotional attachments to my 'family' - well, that took a long time, and has left a gap that, due to my social ineptitude, has never been filled. I've never missed "god", though. I am a happy heathen in that sense.t

I saw one on Pawn Stars last year, it was too cool! :P
How about a Buick Roadmaster, such a cool 40s car. And yes, agreed - kinda like the original Star Trek. It may not have had the FX of modern movies, but the plotlines were great, the action was real, and the gadgets were futuristic realities (eg, communicator, replicator).

This is tragic, but not surprising. Anaesthetists need to carefully check every patient's file due to the nature of their job. A general surgeon may often be cavalier about a 'simple laparascopic procedure like a gallbladder'. As the article stated:
The anaesthetist was aware of her position but did not tell the surgeon, who failed to read the information in the woman's case file ahead of the operation.
During the procedure, due to difficulties with access and visibility, the surgeon converted to open surgery but after it was over, the woman's condition deteriorated.
[bold is mine]
I guess things went from 'simple laparascopy' to "Open her up, she's hemmorhaging~!" and now, even though her chances may not have been good either way, Mr. Big Shot Surgeon is in trouble. I hope he is gets NAILED for it.

When I looked at the official government site (Visa Services Canada), here's what it said about getting a 90-day travel visa.
url: http://visaservicescanada.ca/countries/israel.php
Do I Need a Visa to Visit Israel?
Canadian citizens using Canadian passports do not require a visa to enter Israel for tourism or business stays under ninety (90) days.
Most other nationals, including those with Permanent Resident status in Canada, need a visa.
Apply IN PERSON at the embassy or nearest consulate.
Perhaps it is easier for someone wth a Canadian passport to enter Israel, than an American? Canadian passports used to be highly valued for that very reason.

from the OP
she participated in more than one porn videos with classmates in the school and theses videos became public.
I would suggest that the school officials would be the people to notify ... and they may already be aware of the situation. Alexandre, this sounds like kids experimenting in a very dangerous way, and I hope the school authorities and police are involved. If not, you could easily notifiy them - anonymously.
