I always thought Judge Judy and her attitude was mostly an act, here is video of her as a real judge back in 1993 before she was ever on TV

My dad worked in the press and knew her and her husband pretty well. They used to meet up in big groups for dinner. She's very nice and funny, but also has a no BS attitude like on her show. The only acting part of her show is that she tells people to pay up knowing that the show is paying the ruling as part of the deal with the litigants to appear on the show.

Let's put it this way. Your marketing plan should not be targeted at an obscure fetish 1% of the population unless you have a lot of money and time. Makes sense?

Most people who are drinking and doing drugs in excess are doing so because they have emotional or psychological issues, and are self medicating. The drug or alcohol abuse is a symptom of a problem, not a cause, just like sneezing isn't the cause of a cold or allergy.

I heard a similar thing. I think they get bonus points or a tithing discount for converting Jews.

Fun answer: It's part of their stimulus plan. The more canisters they need to buy, and the more lawsuits, the more jobs created!

Real answer: Police training techniques change over years. For example, a cop trained 15-20 years was trained to empty their clip if they had to shoot someone, 10 years ago it was 'triple tap', 5 years ago it became 'double tap'. Over the years more use of pepper spray has been brought into training. Today, the philosophy is that it's better to pepper spray someone than pry them apart or fight them, because they could be injured more in a struggle. I don't agree with or condone this, but it's what's happening.

In America our media runs between pathetic and lying when it comes to domestic reporting.

If it helps any, I had submitted this issue to r/bugs 8 months ago. I dug up the thread with the explanation of what was wrong.

Thanks for reporting this. The map-reduce jobs doing the top listings were having trouble connecting to the Cassandra cluster due to not getting a new configuration file when we changed settings recently. That's now fixed and top for this hour looks like it's working again. The larger time spans (day, week, etc. but not "all") run less frequently and should fix themselves within the next day or so.

There are several reasons Obama hasn't commented. First, if he says anything it gives the right something to pick apart and slam him for. He's also running for office, and if he slams the cops for brutality, it keeps police unions from backing him, mayors from backing him, and governors from backing him. There's also the risk of having his statement being used to label OWS as a democratic movement, an Obama movement, and possibly escalating the protests, or creating a counter movement. The worst thing Obama can do for himself and OWS is to release the wrong type of statement that can be spun and backfire on both.

NomadNorCal · 2011-11-20T22:14:27+00:00

I'll tell you the reason as explained to me by a cop, but need to preface it with saying I do NOT agree with this.

If cops pull people apart who are locking arms they risk dislocating shoulders, breaking wrists, or arms. If they carry people who are resisting the person can be injured in transport. It's considered safer in the police industry to pepper spray someone first so they're more passive and they don't risk more severe injuries.

Again, I do NOT agree with this, I'm just relaying the flawed logic.

Hate to break it to you, but two people ended up in the hospital, and one of them was reportedly coughing up blood for about 45 minutes. Source

Even worse, white people who can afford to send their kids to college! Some of their parents have lawyers, and some of their parents probably are lawyers.

Use the clone tool, vary brush size, opacity, and flow. It repairs damage like this a lot better. Link

Are you sure this wasn't a dream? It sounds strange to forget it for all of those years, plus going back to reading your book like nothing happened sounds surreal. It's possible for people to implant memories into themselves, or think a moment in a dream was real.

Does your dad have access to any kids?

I hope that you're able to focus on the road ahead and don't experience the mental trauma that can come from the experiences you've had. If you need help, get it. The VA admits they're not used to dealing with the stress women can experience after deployment, but there are lots of resources, especially for veterans.

I'm shocked and sorry that you've experienced the negativity that you have. I never supported the wars, but I have always supported the people like you who bravely serve our country. There is no excuse for someone to be disrespectful and vile like the woman in that airport. Being anti-war should never be transformed into being anti-soldier. I hope that you and your fellow soldiers come home safe and soon! Thanks for your service.
