Quigley says

I rebut Dan's argument with solid facts and he responds with hand-waving "Everyone knows..."

Your solid facts is that the jury acquitted Zimmerman, not that the jury was right. Your assuming that African Americans have never been disfranchised by the legal system. Maybe you should watch a few documentaries, or at least The Butler.

You are hardly a voice of rationality.

CaptainShuddup says

He is not a racist killer.

Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell. And the manipulation of the 9/11 call by the press just fucked up everything.

Nonetheless, he prejudicial assumed Martin was a burglar, which was completely false, whether that was racism or some other prejudice is a secondary matter at best. Zimmerman is still guilty of second degree murder, not manslaughter. He got lucky that the system failed in his favor. He's a violent punk with a history of crimes, and he's clearly a danger to society.

Since when did Quigley buy a majority position in 'assuming'??

SoftShell says

Wrong again.

Zimmerman is 'adobe south'...

Wow, you're really pushing it when you have to take out a color swatch to make the case that Zimmerman's skin isn't white. He looks as white as I do and people passing him on the street would consider him white if they never heard of him and just had to describe him to the police.

Hell, Zimmerman is lighter than Evangeline Lilly. I guess she's not white either.

Dan8267 says

Zimmerman followed Martin in his car. Stalked him around the neighborhood. And then got out of his car and chased Martin on foot. That's not standing your ground.

If Zimmerman was black and Martin white, you'd be outraged that another hoodlum killed a white kid. Your position is determined by the races. I'd be calling Zimmerman guilty if he were black and Martin was white, just like I call O.J. guilty. Race matters to you, not me

You might as well say that about blaming the Nazis for the Holocaust. It doesn't make it less true.

So what? Trayvon got what was coming to him.

I'd need to examine her more closely to validate your statement...

Dan8267 says

Lay off Zimmermann.

Haven't enough people leveled baseless accusations of assault, battery, sexual assault on a minor, and brandishing against this murdering piece of shit?

Have some compassion. Aren't even the most evil among us still human beings?

Get in line, buddy.

Call it Crazy says

TM was NOT "chased down"... he was sitting on Zim's chest when he was shot.... Nice twist of the facts!!!

Zimmerman stalked and chased down Martin. Martin tied to run away from his murderer but could not. So Martin stood his ground and attacked his stalker in self-defense. The criminal then shot Martin.

Honey, they can't both be standing their ground. It's just like Drunky McDumbass starting assaulting someone and then killing his victim when the victim fights back.

It was Martin, not Zimmerman, fighting in self-defense. Martin had a real fear for his life, and one obviously justified since Zimmerman killed him. If Zimmerman had done the same damn thing to you, you would have attacked him in self-defense, probably shot him if you carry a gun yourself.

Facts that are inconvenient to The Story can and should be discarded by all right-thinking people. Why mess with a perfectly good narrative because of inconsequential things like evidence and history of burgulary?
"She's a witch! Burn her!"

Call it Crazy says

You definitely have a great imagination!!

Just because you assert something is false, does not make it so. There is plenty of reports of what happened. Martin fled and Zimmerman chased him down. You simply want to make the black boy the bad guy and that is why you refuse to accept any facts that make Zimmerman look bad.

Guilty is as guilty does.
Witnesses put tray on top of zim pounding away.
All else is speculation.

When the skittles spilt..trayvon owned guilt.

Midnight at the Cantina

Vanguard Precious Metals Fund is up a total of 9% over the last 15 years. It represents mostly gold and silver mining interests, and for the most part moves in tandem with the gold and silver spot prices.

It has a 17.5 P/E ratio (forward 12 months) based on Morningstar.com analysis.

I don't think Gold is overvalued based on the above, and also based on its performance over the last 20 years.

Flies and garden snails don't count.

TM was just another violent young thug raised by a violent thug, his own father. He looked and dressed like a gang member and was followed. The violent little thug ended up on Zims chest, stereotype proven, where he got smoked. Sucks that people are raising their kids to be thugs or enabling this behavior. Zim saw the man in the ski mask with a chainssaw, followed him, was asttacked, then defended himself. Glad the jury saw through the political BS.

Not from your consciousness's interpretation, but from CIC's it is as true as the wavelength of blue.

and budweiser, the companies which ironically aren't even american.

...and it's the best thing to happen to beer in America, since the invention of Icehouses.

If not for InBev, we would still be drinking preservative swill.
Now thanks to them, even Gas stations have a wider range of even "Great" beers, than specially liquor stores had pre InBev.

The InBev deal was about opening markets for beers America never had before. It was all about distributorship. Although they claimed they wouldn't touch the Budweiser formula, I can't help but think they fixed it somewhat. The last Budweiser product I tasted over the holidays was actually drinkable.

I hope that was sarcastic. Otherwise, I'm speechless. InBev has destroyed AB and every other brand they have. Quality takes a huge backseat to $$. InBev will literally drive AB into bankruptcy.

Call it Crazy says

More baseless claims by you or do you actually have data to back it up???

Inbev buys AB for 52 Billion so they can bankrupt it??? Really??

Baseless claims? Have you followed the news at all?

They didn't buy it to bankrupt it--that is happening because of their mismanagement..

Right all the conservatives are in the hourly motel room popping Oxycontin and molesting kids from their Bible study.

I'll join the the wine and beer drinkers thanks.

He looked and dressed like a gang member and was followed

I miss the seventies when all the teenagers looked and acted like drug addicted hippies.

Even most of the members of the "young republicans" had long hair and looked like godless dope smoking hippies.

It's called fashion.

Seriously, you might as well say that being a male teenager is what made TM look suspicious.

We're told George is open to fighting a black person, but the promoter is not discriminating, telling us "We're not looking at it as a race thing ... We haven't discussed purple, yellow, white, black."

Lately George has been more interested in boxing than guns ... regularly training in the ring.

As for George's cut from the fight, we're told he's donating the money to charity.

If you'd like to throw your hat in the ring for the March 1 match.

What a fucking joke.

Yeah, this won't be rigged.

Yeah but the difference is Charlie Manson got life in Prison not a record deal.

InBev is AB.

Look AB stopped making beer fucking YEARS ago.
They've been poisoning us, with flash fermentation that has everything from formaldehyde to stimulate quick fermentation to giving it a longer shelf life. The result was swill that was guaranteed to give you an upside down splitting headache if you drank more than three.

Now we actually have a selection of beers that come from countries and craftsmen that give a fuck. And I don't have to drink some overpriced shit, because it's from a micro brewery, with names on the bottle/can that makes me feel like a total douche bag. In fact, that's probably the name of the beer, these geniuses come up with. "Douche bag in a Can". Then they expect me to lay down $12.00 a 6 pack for it. Fuck that, I'll grab a New Castle, Tiger Beer, Stella Atouis, countless Belgian and German beers.

For anywhere from 6 to 10. Those micro breweries aren't all that.

Besides the names listed on this page, it also opened up the American markets to many beers not listed.

No, InBev bought AB.

CaptainShuddup says

You're on crack.

CaptainShuddup says

You know many of these are now made at AB breweries that "stopped making beer fucking years ago", right?

The American market was already open to those beers. I think you just needed to find a better liquor store...

Also since InBev has entered the market great beers around the country are actually casting a wider net. I've never seen Anchor Steamboat beer, or Shiner Bock now I see quite regularly.

AB kept the American market wrapped up tighter than a gnats Ass with hemorrhoids. It was a good thing that InBev bought AB, because with it, they lost their lobby might and influence to keep the unfair advantage over most all beer production and distributorship in America. Miller would be another we could do with out.

Most conservatives are annoying d#ck$.
Most liberals are annoying c#nts.
Moderation is the key.

Those beers are at a Hess station now.

Call it Crazy says

Doesn't seem to be hurting their business... Go look at their 5 year stock chart...

Actually, it has hurt their business. Budweiser sales are way down.

InBev did make the company more profitable--AB was bloated at the time of the purchase. They did the needed cost cutting, but also disregarded AB's focus on quality. Now they use cheaper ingredients and have next to no quality control. Cost cutting only lasts so long--eventually you have to have growth...

You should really read up on InBev and AB--it's an interesting story.
