is there an echo? lol

I disagree...the key difference is with intent, not with morality, merit, or impartiality... We can certainly point out that justice concerns the proper punishment for bad behavior while revenge can be any kind of punishment for any perceived slight. If that’s the only difference, however, then it seems that justice is merely a type of revenge. I propose a further difference, which concerns virtue ethics: true justice is motivated by the desire to establish a better society; revenge is motivated by the desire to harm. That is, of course, if we actually wish to make justice a noble pursuit instead of an expression of barbarism that conveniently has some social benefit.

If you don't understand the difference between revenge and justice, you should avoid a career in law enforcement...

I agree with kaw Our justice system should not be a revenge system...

GLWS, LBTS!

I'm all in on facebook tanking... betting hard against facebook. Been reading a bunch of articles lately about how the kids aren't into facebook anymore...

so far, goldwing with a car tire... if for some reason I need to replace the XX, i'd probably go with a BMW k1300s or k1600gt

Sure, but what you can do and what you can't do has a lot to do with who you are and how much money you have. If you're important enough (to them), cops will give you more leeway regarding the borders of what is legal using their discretion. If you've got money for lawyers they can enterpret the law such that whatever you did isn't exactly illegal... It would be nice if laws were written clearly and concisely, but there is so much gray area in everything we do... even if you tried to write a simple law it would get complicated.

Again, I'd generally believe Parks, who aside from his personal interest in firearms also has a responsibility as part of his employment to understand the law... If the language says "in a vehicle" and you get out of the vehicle, you're no longer "in a vehicle" this is why lawyers are paid so well, interpretation of the law can get complicated...

Kauai is known as "the garden isle"

correct... you get paid for 80 hours of work every 2 weeks, regardless of when in the year you start... there aren't magically 2 more weeks this year because 2 pay days happen within a few days of the beginning and end of the year. now during a leap year, you do get an extra day..most companies I've worked for turn it into an extra floating holiday anyway...

i wasn't saying you were wrong, i was just saying it seemed counter-intuitive...

i pay 100 per year...for 2 bikes and 2 riders (one on permit)

props to you fellas.

I dunno, but that can be estimated or calculated, and they will still have some life left to enjoy it... What retribution is there for the death penalty?

You should probably reread your first sentence in that block I quoted... I specifically pointed to several crashes I've personally taken where my head never struck anything.. Helmets are great, I wear one most of the time when I ride my XX, but I'm not a proponent of laws intended to protect one from themselves.

True, but those wrongly accused/convicted can be released and compensated for their time... how do you release and compensate for ones own death?

Except imprisonment can be revoked at any time given the right circumstances... death is (currently) a permanent situation.

my cuz lives out there, he says lots of motorcycles to rent...

out of sight, out of mind...

I'd stick with AVI then...for portable devices 700 meg for DVD should be more than adequate...

Yeah I didn't consider that... All of my DVD quality movies are around 700 Meg, 1.5 Gig is bluray quality...(or close to it)\ Personally I don't like MP4, AVI seems to be my go-to, then MKV for Blu-ray... The PS3 (where I watch most of my network movies) seems to have the least trouble with those formats...

1.4G for that movie seems apropo, playback quality to your liking?

Seriously? stories about guns in schools are not stories about guns?
