The Daily Show, David after the dentist, and Ron Paul

women will not care if blankfist finally gets down with

The revolution will not be sifted.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock

They should CGI a Nike logo on his jumpsuit and make a commercial out of it!

I can understand dress code for some things... work, nice restaurants... but this is a fucking plane. Why should you put on a suit to be stuffed into a chair for a couple hours? First class might be less stuffed than coach, but it's still just a chair.

I thought that "jump suit" meant some type of skydiving outfit, which would indeed be awkward on a commercial flight.

Yeah. I believe his outfit was a track suit, not a jump suit.


I was curious so I just looked this up. 'Jumpsuit' originally referred to sky diving attire but later came to refer to any one-piece. It's pretty common to hear track suits referred to as jumpsuits, though.

What is the difference between the blackshirts, and the green jumpsuits?

Green is regular police, black is riot squad as far as I know. They carry no ID except a unit number or an insignia on the back and only the squadleader has to reveal his identity to you if you demand it. So if they're wearing helmets or masks, you can't identify anyone and thus noone can be held accountable in court.
System works like a charm: 1384 criminal cases against police officers in Berlin in 2007 alone, 3 convictions - there is no independant commission to investigate the police in this beautiful country of ours.



They carry No Id? I would say that means they are not officers of the law.

Unless Germany allows the officers to go around with out ID.

In the states, if you ask a law officer for identification he or she must present it to you. Badge number, and last name. At least that was how I was trained. It is best practice to identify yourself, as it establishes your honest and no fear of reprisal. Something called command presence.

I would argue that they are no protected by any laws afforded to uniformed police with Identification.

RUN PIGGIE PIGGIE! RUN!

The man will always cower in their bunkers when the people rise up.

What is the difference between the blackshirts, and the green jumpsuits?

Funny thing, truth.

It's always funny to liberals, who rarely encounter it.

Go listen to Blarney Frank 'splain why he's innocent. OR stick to the basic rule of not trusting the very guy who belongs in an orange prison jumpsuit to 'splain how he was right while the law was wrong. Any other comedy shows you want to recommend for real reporting?

They let her out on bail?


Yeah, they let women accused of trying to murder their husbands out on bail so they can sleep confortably at their mum's house and dress nice for their court appearances. Men in the same suitation are remanded without bail and turn up to court in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit. That way, the jury can imagine him as a convict already, which helps make up their mind when the time comes.

Equality has been achieved, here's a gay crook and kleptocrat of the worst kind.

This should be a prison interview, with Barney wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Stop mocking him! He's a fighter pilot, so he gets to wear the badass jumpsuits, and you need a fade like that for getting your totally awesome helmet on and off quickly to shovel in caviar between strafing runs on the food riots of ungrateful peasants.

His grey Jumpsuit looking attire makes me think of Hannibal Lecter's outfit - Now he just needs the mask!

You'll notice how everyone is wearing orange jumpsuits?

That's not because they're fashionable, that's for sure. It's because the software isn't capable of "finding" person without help in the form of a huge orange marker. Granted it could be the studio lighting is too powerful... or it could be that the vision isn't particularly good at discerning background information from relevant player movements. I've dabbled with computer vision software - its not easy hacking by any means. Not impossible, that's for sure, but I doubt we'll see the huge strides still needed to complete whatever plans MS may have for Natal within a few months, that's for sure.

Everything about Natal screams "We're not nearly ready to sell this, but we'll keep pretending it's ready by showing people playing our tech demos." Just like the original 360 - it was rushed, and suffers a high rate of hardware failure for it (16%, or 4 out of every 25 360s sold, granted that number is prior to the Jasper revision, which supposedly has cut number down, but remember that across the entire consumer electronics industry, the hardware failure rate is 15%, and the Wii and PS3 fail at a rate of 3%).

I own a Wii, got it just a couple weeks after it launched, and I make no apology for enjoying it. I've been playing video games for over 25 years, and watched the industry evolve into what it is today. Microsoft is repeating the mistakes it's made since entering the console business, and I'm surprised they've lasted this long.

Besides, Nintendo has historic ties to the Yakuza. How cool is that?

I'm not just a Wii fanboy. I'm a I <3 The Big N Fanboy, diehard. I see my favorite game maker rise to power as it did in my childhood, and I laugh at the wannabe tech that Sony and MS have been scrambling to try and 1-up Nintendo, but they both fall short. Motion-control wasn't added to the PS3 control until late in it's development, after they saw what Nintendo was doing with the Wii remote, and they thought that they could just take that, just as they took their basic controller design from the SNES pad. The DS has outsold the PSP by over 2-to-1, and there hasn't been a time in the last 20 years when they didn't dominate the handheld market.

For all you libs that still think "waterboarding is torture", Attorney General Eric "Peanut-head" Holder tried his best to make that equation work and failed.
"As a matter of law, CIA waterboarding — like the same waterboarding actions featured in Navy SEALs training — cannot be torture because there is no intention to inflict severe mental or physical pain; the exercise is done for a different purpose. When Rep. (Louie) Gohmert’s questioning made it crystal clear that Holder’s simplistic "waterboarding is torture" pronouncement was wrong, the attorney general — rather than admitting error — tried to change the legal definition of torture in a manner that contradicted a position the Justice Department had just urged on the federal courts. It seems that, for this attorney general, there is one torture standard for Bush administration officials, and another one for everybody else."

Navy SEALS are waterboarded as part of their training, not to inflict harm and suffering. Waterboarding Sheikh Kalid was not done to inflict harm and suffering, but to extract information.
Remember libs, out of 500 Gitmo jumpsuit vacationers, only 3 were waterboarded for the sole purpose of gaining intel.
Some of you said it yourselves: Mancow (and now Olbyloon) embraced waterboarding as a rating stunt. The inevitable suffering--but no permanent harm--from being waterboarded was not the point, the media circus and ratings were.


Umm so its not torture if the intent is not to cause suffering?

Like I really need to say this again, but you're an idiot.

Torture
Main Entry:
1tor·ture
Pronunciation:
\ˈtȯr-chər\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Middle French, from Old French, from Late Latin tortura, from Latin tortus, past participle of torquēre to twist; probably akin to Old High German drāhsil turner, Greek atraktos spindle
Date:
1540
1 a: anguish of body or mind : agony b: something that causes agony or pain
2: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure
3: distortion or overrefinement of a meaning or an argument : straining

From: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/torture

Waterboarding is torture, by its very definition. Waterboarding is an act that causes agony to acquire information.

I can only hope that if the US does not prosecute the former administration for war crimes, that another country does.

There's a giant banner for beer over the track. How is any driver supposed to see a guy in a red jumpsuit?
