There's always the possibility that the man didn't want to live his life on the outside for some reason, and that gives him the ability to do as he pleases in court.


Prison is no longer a deterrent to anti-social behavior. I've known people that have spent the majority of their adult lives behind bars, yet when they get out they go right back to committing crimes.

I think what we should do is bring back labor camp prisons, because well let's face it, most of these shitheads are lazy bitches that like prison because they don't have to do anything all day long. So starting on their first day in the joint, you drag their ass out of bed at 4:00 am, by 4:30 they're plowing fields, breaking rocks, digging ditches, mining coal(my personal favorite), etc. until about 9 at night, lights out at 10, with only the barest of rations to maintain proper nutrition. Let them do that 6 days a week, and I bet our recidivism rates would plummet. Then we'll be watching videos of douchebags like this crying like babies, "Please go easy on me your honour! Please!! Waaaaa!"

If you like post rock as a genre check out:

Explosions in the Sky
Laura
Lights Out Asia
Mutyumu (japanese band, partly hardcore, with opera vocals too)
Do Make Say Think (partly math rock)
65daysofstatic (also partly math rock and electronica)
Eluvium (partly ambient)
Dirty Three
God is an Astronaut
Moving Mountains (somewhat annoying vocals)
Red Sparowes (ambient soundscapes)

May already know some of these I'm sure

thanks i love yndi halda (although ive known em for erm bout 2 weeks now tbh )

EDIT - Actually, instead of just listing it, I'll copy out my descriptions of them too since I already wrote this up for another forum:


1. The Flashbulb - Soundtrack to a Vacant Life | Instrumental | 4.5/5

Simply put, a seamless, sweeping epic of genres that dabbles in everything from sombre piano ballads, to upbeat flamenco, caustic electronica, serene ambience, rhythmic percussive tribal drum sections and haunting string sections, imposing every possible emotion on the listener. If anything, the sole weakness is that the rough 2-3 minute length of each of the 31 songs means they don't work so effectively as standalone compositions but as verses in a protracted poem, making the idea of listening to the entirety of it a tad daunting.


2. Protest The Hero - Fortress | Progressive Metal | 4.5/5

Metal that while relatively intricate yet melodic enough and hell, catchy enough to avoid divulging into incomprehensible technical wankery. Lyrics abound with references to goddesses and dethroned kings but it's decidedly tongue in cheek. Perhaps the biggest weaknesses resides in a lack of coherence, a tendency for the album to mesh together as a string of riffs, with little sense of a recurring chorus or verses within songs, but then you can take that as a plus depending on how you look at it. Besides that and a couple of immensely obnoxious vocal lines it's a pretty solid effort all around.


3. Blue Sky Black Death - Late Night Cinema | Instrumental Trip-hop | 4.5/5

One of the least expected surprises this year for me, partly because I generally despise anything that relates in any way to hip-hop or remixes yet I was sold on first listen. It’s just such a supremely chilled out but simultaneously melodically multilayered album which weaves hip-hop/trip-hop styling with a fairly significant utilisation of violins, trumpets, keyboards and an organ, capping it off with a distinct jazz tinge.


4. In Mourning - Shrowded Divine | Melodic Death Metal | 4/5

Genre-wise they’re probably best described as melodic death metal based but with progressive and doom influenced sections, reminiscent of Opeth, but not exactly the same. I initially junked this when I first picked it up but it’s grown on me immensely since then. There’s nothing immediately about them that sticks out as particularly impressive, the riffs aren’t all too complex, the melody isn’t overly diverse. If anything the drumming is quite good and both the harsh and clean vocals are solid. Nevertheless they clearly have a knack for creating memorable melody lines, and many minor touches such as the use juxtaposed clean and harsh vocals of essentially the same lines, coupled with a number of sexy breakdowns and a consistently bleak and permeating tone really make this album memorable in some indescribable way.


5. Transcending Bizarre? - The Serpent's Manifolds | Avant-Garde Black Metal | 4/5

Typical black metal brain mashing, but nicely broken up by violin sections to prevent migraines! Again it really feels like this band just clicks, but that not to say they can’t put out some impressively melodic riffs, and solos or bring it intensity-wise. In terms of criticism, there’s probably too much reliance on violin for a metal album, but that’s a very subjective disparagement, also a select few sections drag a bit ... oh and the intro is obnoxious and highly skipable. Oh and keyboards, oh the humanity! Run for the hills!


6. Thrice - The Alchemy Index - Vol.3 & 4 Air & Earth | Experimental Rock | 4/5

Partially successful but suffers from issues strangely distinct from the first two volumes. Whereas the first two could perhaps be argued to have taken the element concepts too literally both melodically and lyric-wise, this time around there are fairly tentative connections to the elements. With Air there’s simply a heavy use of reverb and echo to create the impression of an expansive soundscape, among a number of other tricks; whereas Earth is merely embodied by heavy use of stripped back and stark acoustic guitar with an American folk grounding. In all, neither really captures the concept as effectively as the haphazard, chaotic, distorting Fire; and if anything the biggest weakness of Air is it doesn’t distance it enough from the seeping smoothness that characterised Water to offer anything particularly distinctive. All in all it still remains an intriguing unconventional attempt with a number of standout songs, particularly the sonnets that outro each of the volumes oddly enough, led by consistently strong vocals.


7. Bar Kokhba Sextet - Lucifer The Book of Angels - Vol. 10 | Jazz | 4/5

I'm not really qualified to comment on or critique jazz as I'm very much a neophyte to it, but this is some excellent stuff.


8. Lights Out Asia - Eyes Like Brontide | Post Rock | 4/5

To me the main element any post rock effort needs to really be effective is a pervasive, consistent atmosphere, which this album abounds with. It doesn't fall into clichés such as blasting you into submission by badgering you with volume changes, or an over reliance on monotonous arpeggios, but builds upon subtle layers of sound to create a vast, rich soundscape of echoing guitars, staccato electronica beats and fleeting vocals.


9. Opeth - Watershed | Progressive Death Metal | 4/5

Disappointingly inconsistent by their standards, but still a pretty solid album all around. Some songs definitely drag massively, and certain parts sound technically overindulging and tiresome particularly the outro to Burden. On the other hand in my humble opinion it also has some of the best songs they have written, the way the progressive acoustic guitar section fades in and out in Porcelain Heart for example is seamlessly mesmerising, Hessian Peel is almost equally memorable. Regardless this is no Blackwater Park unfortunately.


10. Mutyumu - Ilya | Post Rock | 4/5

Post rock doesn't really give this band justice. It's like an odd mix of opera and hardcore Japanese vocals, with heavily piano reliant post rock grounding. Awesome? Somewhat. Half the time its carried by stirring complex but seemingly effortless piano and string sections unfolding at a blistering pace coupled with occasional strangely effective hushed murmurs, yet the other half of the time it cascades into almost unbearable droning repetition. Now given that, Prayer is damn well one of the best post rock songs I have ever heard and it really is a pity that the rest of the album wasn’t equally brilliant. I probably overrate this a tad too but well ... goshdarnit it’s all gotta be about job creation and shoring up our economy.

of course i like it! it's santogold! how'd you know?!

Yes, it's a woman! Bonus points for repeated and pointless use of the rear windshield wiper, and the left brake light out.

I could have told you this worked. Me and a friend used to go around shooting people's porch/yard lights out with our water pistols when we were kids.

Nonetheless, before the fight, everyone had reached a consensus that Kimbo can only beatup bums on the street, this shows that he's not just a one trick pony but can fight with some of the best. Even though Ray is old and looks kind of flappy in the video, he must pack a mean punch, strong enough to put the lights out of most mortals/high level amateur boxers, and seeing how Kimbo treats him like a rag doll, I think he's well on his way up.

alcohol fire in the vinyl tub it looks like...hey dotdude...ever seen a "whoosh"? Reminds of this, cept' you use a glass carboy, lie used in beer brewing or the old school, five gallon, water bottles...

Directions:
Get one of those bottles.
Pour a smallish amount of grain alcohol, or 90% isopropyl, into the bottle, 'bout 2 0z.
With one hand over the top of the carboy, to keep liquid in, swirl the alcohol in the bottle, to coat the sides thoroughly, up to the neck.
Place bottle on floor, and using a butane lighter, (or match), light the top till it starts.

The result, is a wave-like circular flame, traveling from top to bottom, with a resulting sound from the pressure created and released through the top, "WHHHHHHHHHHOSH" hence the name-

if you are lucky, the wave will begin to travel back and forth from the top to the bottom, and pulsating sounds will be produced, like an engine backfiring softly PFFT PFFT PFFT PFFT PFTT faster and faster till the fuel is all used.

Great Trip Toy with all the lights out.

you are welcome in advance, if you do not already know how to do this......impress the girls, and amaze yer nurse, er friend(s)!!!

Discussing the possibilities is one thing, bothering people shamelessly because of their status as a celebrity is quite another. It's pretty clear they never notified Bonaduce of their intent beforehand. Am surprised he didn't punch his lights out.

Am all for monitoring the government, but not when it is done like this. It makes people who question force deployment by the government seem stupid and idiotic.

Almost every large scale involvement of the United States in an armed conflict resulted from an attack or loss of American lives. The sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, a large passenger liner with 128 Americans aboard in World War 1. Pearl Harbor in World War 2. The controversial attack on U.S. ships in the Gulf of Tonkin triggered a U.S. military assault on North Vietnamese military installations and the deployment of more than 500,000 troops into South Vietnam and thus the Vietnam War.

I only remember that he had a spatula and that his girlfriend was jumping around. This was with the lights out and everyone (maybe 20 or so) huddled around the television.
