Re: Nice planet 4: Take 2. Action!

Don't PO Kid Rock!

Michigan authorities said tips led them to the man seen earlier this week attempting to enter the gated home of rocker Kid Rock.

Authorities arrested the man, 43 years old, in Oakland County, which is just north of Detroit. They impounded the 1994 Ford Club Wagon they say was used to force open Kid Rock's gated driveway.

'I take the invasion of my personal space very seriously regardless of who you are and YES, I do profile people.'

Kid Rock, a musician known to be outspoken, has cautioned those of like mind and intentions, "I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives." He also offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Kid Rock, whose birth name is Robert James Ritchie, issued the preemptive warning on his website, expounding, "Thank God I was not on the property at the time of this attempted break in. I am an avid hunter and marksman."

It's amusing that you assume I meant better when I said different. Do you really think OP and I have had the same life experiences? He is from a different generation and lives in a different part of the country and I bet we're from different economic and social backgrounds. I assume there are many things OP has experienced that I haven't just as I am sure there are things I have experienced that he hasn't. But you automatically jump to "I'm better than you" when I said "different". Or were you just looking for a cheap laugh at my expense? If so, well done.

OP, as I said, we've had different experiences. For you apparently the Duke case will forever mean every college student that cries rape is lying, deserved it or should have expected it. Sorry you feel that way. Yes, my experiences (which consist of much more than just serving as a juror) tell me different, but you aren't interested in hearing about them because that will somehow mean I'm claiming to be better than you. I guess this is just one more example of a situation where we'll never see eye to eye.

Your assumptions about my "life experiences" (about which you know squat) evidently mean you think I'm not qualified to disagree with you. That is the argument of a monomaniac, so convinced of his righteousness that any disagreement has to be explained away, somehow. Certainly not based on the facts in evidence. And you modestly allow that your unspecified experiences are "much more" that merely serving on a rape jury (which you repeatedly imply left you an expert). Bottom line? "My experiences render my opinion more valid than yours." I confess it is hard to argue against someone so utterly convinced of his own grandeur. Let me risk further dismissals by suggesting you lay off the bumper stickers ("rape victims deserved it," etc) because I haven't said anything remotely close to that.

You continue to throw the words "rape" and "rapist" around, yet have not provided any evidence that that crime occurred in your examples. You explain that away by claiming it's "too embarrassing" for these "victims" to report the "crimes" to police. Yet, these same "victims" apparently aren't too embarrassed to provide those details to some half a*ssed ad hoc college body. And despite not having gone to the police, they and you, reserve the right to b*tch that "justice wasn't done" in those cases.

"Pricelessism" seems to be the theory that if the lady claims rape, then it's rape. And "we don't need no stinkin' investigation." You evidently find those constitutional guarantees of due process annoying. I have never suggested (nor to I believe) "every" college lady who cries rape is lying. These cases are far more ambiguous than you allow. And only a fanatic would suggest none of them is. The Duke "rape" case provides a relevant, well understood, fairly recent high profile example of "Pricelessism" in action. And since you've not distanced yourself from that attempted lynching, one assumes you were right there, holding the rope. And saying the same things about believing the "victim" you're saying now.

Some are just part of a group that is lost. You'll never change them as the echo chamber that they've surrounded themselves (friends, media, their own mind) with doesn't allow for reason to get through.

Fortunately, most are older and will die out at some point. The question becomes, is it growing older that causes their malady or is it just their generation (as a last group) and the next (boomers) will be more enlightened?


Time will tell and some of us have more time than others.

Stinky's got a theory! Alert the media.

[points and laughs, Nelson style] Look, Priceless thinks the Duke case had anything to do with rape. How could she have "deserved" or "expected" something that didn't even happen?

What would satisfy you? If Yale locked those offenders in their own personal dungeon? Personally, I'm glad there are several dozen laws against such a thing.

They could have expelled them, but that probably would have ruined their future and robbed us of the 50th president or something.

No. Self-righteous gibberish. Maybe if you handed down your opinions on stone tablets the hoi polloi would recognize your superior "life experiences."

It's truly amazing what you choose to be offended by.

I doubt I'm the only one here weary of your pompous jacka*sery.

First it was "double secret probation." Now it's "double secret life experiences" which you're too modest to mention, but not too modest to claim give you insight which the rest of us lack. My suggestion: either shut up about you're GD "life experiences," or reveal them so we can bask in your greatness.

I said we'd had different life experiences and you've turned it into a casus belli. Here's a clue: "Different" does not mean the same as "better." Get over yourself, climb down off that cross and give Bob back his crown of thorns.
