This is one of my desert island tunes

Soooo, guy gets shipwrecked on a deserted island, becomes delirious and has sex with a sea turtle? Count me in.

On my desert island list *quality

Who said people don't have a right to privacy? In an ideal world people would respect that right. But we don't live in an ideal world do we? So it makes sense to assess the risks and take precautions.

Look at it from another perspective. If I constantly leave my house unlocked with all the ground floor windows open when I go out, do I deserve to be robbed? No. But through my actions have I made it exponentially more likely that I'm going to be robbed? Yes. Does that mean the robber should get a lighter sentence if caught? No. Could I have easily prevented the crime from happening by taking basic precautions? Yes. Does that mean the crime is my fault? No. But was I naive to think that no one would ever rob my house? Absolutely, unless I happen to live alone on a deserted island!

It sucks what happened to her. It's not her fault. She deserves justice and I hope they catch the person who did it. The point of my previous post was that anybody taking naked pics of themselves these days--particularly digital ones--is exponentially increasing their risk of a humiliating exposure. That's the reality, whether you think it is "stupid" or not. If a person is not comfortable with that level of risk, they shouldn't engage in the behavior. This in no way implies that a person who has taken naked pics of themselves doesn't deserve justice if they are victimized. But it does imply that they are a bit naive (or haven't been paying attention to current events) if they thought there was little risk in taking naked pics of themselves and posting them online (as this person apparently did on her Facebook page) given the current security situation on the Internet.

Ahhh ... one of my desert island tunes! Also heard in two of my all time favorite movies, The Boat That Rocked and The Commitments. A delight to up-vote this.

The problem with that is that Gangbangers are generally Gangbangers because they have very few other choices in life. Their social, financial, educational and familial situations pretty much steer them in the direction of violence and thuggery.
So what you're saying is: Let's round up all the poor, uneducated violent people in the US and put them on a deserted island so they can kill each other off.
You've got to fix the broken system that generates these fools, because others will be bred to take their places if you only wipe out the ones that exist now.

Might not be a bad idea. We should invent some massive war on a deserted island and convince all the dumbass gangbangers to go out there and shoot each other . . . . At least they'll stop playing Call of Duty . . .

Ahhh ... one of my desert island tunes

*promote *quality goosebumps! I love these remote "jam" videos and this happens to be one of my "desert island" songs

One of my desert island songs. Though no one can top Bonnie, this kid ain't bad.

Wow ... so much less haunting than the original. Almost, dare I type, UPbeat. I like it too. The original tune would be on my desert island list.

I really like my Kindle Fire. I am not much into comics, but I did try out a few on the comic reader app that comes with it. It automatically zooms in to each panel in a way that worked for me. I think you can also configure it to just go page by page and choose your own level of zoom. I enjoyed the comics I read, but they're so expensive when you compare them to books at dollars/hour.

My favorite "feature" is the kindle daily deal. You can sign up for this and every day there is a new offer for a book, usually 99 cents. Quite a wide range and I probably buy about a book a week. I'm pretty sure I already have several lifetime supplies of books to read, so I'm good if I'm ever trapped on a desert island that has a power source with standard 110 V plug-in and wifi...
