I amended it, because I was talking about the "in my opinion" case. In my ideal state, there's a temp insanity defense, he qualifies, and he walks. But since that was confusing I changed it to Texas -- if he won on temp insanity I'm fine with it, and if he won on lack of evidence... well, I don't love it exactly, but Im unclear on if/when/why temporary insanity was struck down. Isn't that a recognized part of law that you can indeed lose your head with the right provocation?

The Greek (argh, Latin) was foetus/foeti. I dunno what happens when we change a loan word -- does it lose its provenance? Cool etymological question.
Edit: Wikipedia says foetuses. I guess once you're English, you're English.

To be fair, most of your more colorful visitors probably have nothing to look at except corn for 7-8 months out of the year, and dead/plowed over cornstalks for the other 4-5. I'd go insane too.
I recently moved back to a rich, white Republican suburb, and it's no longer feeling icky. That is how it starts, then you get all worked up over Priceless being facetious, next thing you know you're arguing that tax cuts are the best way to stimulate the economy, attending church again, and from there it's just one more step to being "that guy" standing on popular street corners at with revolting, bloody photos of abortions. Help me! Before it's too late!

When Pio starts making sense, seek counseling.
When FlagDude starts making sense, seek medication.

Texting while driving in ND is illegal.
I'd guess this 20-year-old's "I wasn't texting, I was on Facebook!" excuse might not work out so well for her:

Looks like that Texas gun range owner was onto something. When your opponents start recruiting younger, you do too.

When Kepler references something I've actually said, call 911. Until this moment I've never used the word fetus nor, in fact, offered any "pro life" arguments. But your bigotry is so comprehensive, it doesn't matter.
Does it?

Please. He Who Must Be Believed (or you're a racist) says the cop reached out and grabbed his gigantic friend by the throat and tried to pull him into the car through the passenger window. So any injuries he sustained were the cop's fault.

Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet
That's why we generally try to have these matters tended to by people without a dog in the hunt. About a decade ago a woman named Ellie Nessler got a great deal of favorable coverage because she murdered the man accused of sexually assaulting her son. . .in open court, during his trial. There were quite a few people who thought that was okay. And they didn't consider the green light their approval would give to the defendant's surviving family.
As to the Texas case, there has been quite a bit of chin music about the insanity defense. Just as there was about "stand your ground" in the Trayvon Martin shooting. However, since those defenses weren't offered in either of those cases, what's the point? In Texas, prosecutors may have thought that the father had killed the drunk driver, but they couldn't prove it. Why is that in any way remarkable? Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is the universal standard in criminal trals. Similarly, in the Martin shooting, "stand your ground" was never an issue, since you're always allowed to defend yourself from a guy banging your head on the sidewalk.

Why is saying that you might have a mental illness an insult? Robin Williams had a mental illness. Are you saying people with mental illnesses are less of a person than a "normal" person? That's rather sad, if you ask me.

You implied that I had a mental illness based on a few posts and basically trivialized mental illnesses you hypocrite.
There was never any evidence that his Head got banged repeatedly on a sidewalk lmfao.Old Pio said:

Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet
I did imply you might have a mental illness. You took it as an insult. Why is that? Is a person with a mental illness "less" of a normal person? Again, I ask you this.
If you don't have one, I can only assume you are dense enough to not have any common sense, as you refuse to acknowledge basic facts that have been proven, yet you try and dis-prove.
