Soooo.. two people were robbed within a 4 block radius within 49 hours by being hit with unknown objects, and they say the incidents are unrelated.... Even if the same suspect did not commit both crimes I would bet money they two criminals traded secrets or worked together in some way.

I have raised the same question to some attys in GA and I have not had one give an answer yet. What these clowns did was clearly wrong, as they say this young man was suspected in committing crimes in days prior so they did not even catch him in the act and there was no warrant for his arrest so they had no basis to try to arrest him. But since the words are out in the air now, what does Georgia Law require of a person trying to make a citizen's arrest and what does Georgia Law require a person to do when being arrested by another regular citizen? If Joe BLow walks up and says I am executing a citizen's arrest against you does the law say I have to stand there until real police arrive or can I go about my business or if they touch me can I defend myself... all these issues will be what determines if they get convicted or not. Its kinda like when the police Yell He's got a gun" or " Stop Resisting" anything they do to you after that is not going to land them in jail because there is a blanket of protection just by uttering those words as an officer. Do citizens have a similar blanket when we say " stop, I'm putting you under citizen's arrest" what crimes can I commit against other citizens and get a blanket of protection by uttering some words?

evil is not limited to genetic engineering, their legal team is evil for making farmers pay royalties when the monsanto genetics were spread by airborne pollen, their marketing practice is evil for banning farmers from seed saving, they are evil for encouraging the use of roundup prior to harvest and claiming that roundup is safe for human consumption... they are evil for putting dollars before being decent global citizens, even if we don't talk about GMO they can be labeled evil for may other reasons.....

Re: Shots Fired Outside Atlanta Studio Connected To Rick Ross, Damages Several Luxury Cars

mrggfep — Tue, 07 Jul 2015 09:31:41 -0000

Well, there are multiple record labels/recording studios in that building, and THe reporter apparently assumes that because of a logo on the door that resembles Rick Ross that it was his studio, but that particular record label is owned by another big guy with a beard that is not Rick Ross so I do agree that they are associating one record label to Ross in error but I can't say we know that the shooting is not associated with Ross. Ross is reported to be associated with a record label/.studio in the same building but not the one the reported assumed was his. Not my lack of specifics, which is intentional to avoid spreading mis information. But yeah either way the AJC story is full of bad information and speculation.

Re: Breaking: Apple Ready To Pay Drake Nearly $20 Mil, Put More Pressure On Jay Z’s Tidal

In business, its not who does it first, or who does it best, its who can get the most people to pay for it... Jay might have changed the game, but it does not mean he will reap the benefits... iTunes, Spotify, Pandora,Google Music, etc already have multi millions of subscribers, Tidal might change the business model but I don't know anybody signing up for Tidal... I hope he can figure out how to get more subscribers because I do like to see "us" succeed.

The Atlanta Testing Scandal is only the first of many public school systems where testing will be under intense scrutiny in the near future. This issue affects the entire nation, we hope to shed some insight on this phenomena with our book Cheating but not Cheated. Order now to get the perspective of the one principal involved in the scandal. Christopher Waller co-wrote this book to give readers the insider's perspective of what was done by the teachers to produce false results. Cheating was not written for redemption, instead it gives readers a look at the other side of the scandal. Order nowhttp://goo.gl/48Qacs or visit www.cheatingbutnotcheated.com for more details.

Not specific to this case, but anyone with faith in the judicial process is foolish, This is a system where prosecutors are rewarded on case closure and prosecutions. Too many people take a plea deal because they can't afford to fight the case when they really are innocent but there is enough "evidence" to go to trial. This is a real epidemic and all it takes is a case of mistaken identity and unless you have concrete evidence that you were elsewhere you might take a deal or face additional time because you chose to fight the charges in court. Going to court causes you to get more time because the prosecutor feels like you are challenging him.. this system is a joke for those without enough money to hire the best lawyers. public defenders are terrible and why is the legal system so complicated that one can not defend themselves and have a reasonable expectation to win, when they are in the right?

I think your statement holds some water sure things change over time, we may very well be moving toward a new outlook on the "need" for marriage. But perhaps the simple answer is a significant role in the mix... maybe the men are opting to have flings with or marry younger women because they look better than many of the older single women. With age comes wisdom & experience... but also comes baggage,kids,hurt & emotions from previous relationships and other traits many men may find undesirable, especially when there is a large pool of women who don't have any of those things attached.

Re: Why would you want to keep his last name?

mrggfep — Fri, 20 May 2011 14:50:40 -0000

Welp, here we go....
First of all I was not taking the religious road, but since we are going there...I don't see the part where the bible says you can keep the ex-husband's last name until you re-marry. Nor do I see the part that says you are still married in the eyes of God until you re-marry. I DO see the part that says once you are married you are married until death. Further the bible seems to be pretty clear that Divorce is bad, very bad... and remarrying after divorce is pretty much a sin unless your spouse died or cheated on you. The bible is clear that Divorce is acceptable if your spouse cheats... and the Bible is clear that remarriage is fine if your spouse died and you remarry a person who has never been married. The controversy is in whether remarriage is acceptable if you divorced due to cheating. Some parts of the bible say that death is the only reason to remarry, and some parts of the bible say that remarriage after a divorce due to cheating is not acceptable, while other parts of the bible permit it. I doubt that either of us are qualified to determine which part of the Bible applies to our lives in 2011.

1 Corinthians 7:10-14 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

So what part of that says re-marriage (to another man) is an option?
And I will throw these in for good measure.

Mark 10:11-12 [Jesus] answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”

Luke 16:18 Jesus is quoted again, saying, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”

Romans 7:2-3 The apostle Paul taught that “...by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man.”
Matthew 5:31-32 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.”
Deuteronomy 24:1-4, KJV When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Let's step back for a second...Really religion is not a part of this discussion, as our society is not monotheistic. The US is composed of Christians, Athiests, Muslims, Hindu, etc, etc.... Our court system does not handle cases according to your belief system...Our legal system, although based on Christian beliefs does not follow the principles of the bible to the letter. If that were the case If we are going to have this debate based on biblical teachings then its a whole lot of things we would have talk about before we get to "why would she keep er ex's last name." Just because you don't know my religious beliefs and because citizens of the US have many varied beliefs, and because that the Bible is pretty clear that the reasons for a valid divorce are extremely few, let's ignore religion and address your other points.

Your next point "but at the end of the day it is a right that the man has no right over"... Really? A right that the man has no right over??? Really? C'mon did you really type that?

And finally your point about getting her figure back after bearing his children... Well lemme see, I thought "they" had children... Unless she was raped she decided to participate in the activities that lead to bearing children. So if she did not want to ruin her figure either she needed to not be sexually active without protection... Or wait a minute... actually she can get her figure back after having children... its called diet and exercise... its called discipline and hard work. If you think that women can't get their figure back after child birth you really have the mentality of a lazy, slovenly human being who enjoys being the victim. You have to take responsibility foor your own life and your physical body. Nobody else ate that Twinkie... you did, you have to either learn to say no to the Twinkie, or run around the block a few times to burn off those calories. If a person can't say no, and on top of that they are lazy that person will never get their figure back... but it is 100% that person's fault, not the man who helped them to become pregnant. So this is not even a legit topic for discussion.

So to sum it up basically you said men have a Right to control who keeps their last name, although we should not have that right... and you said that if A woman can get her figure back then men should get to keep control over their name... and that has been proven to be possible... so what exactly do I need to get a grip on? It looks like you pretty much agree with everything I said... well except for the religous part, which I don't think you have a clear understanding of yourself...

My reaction was primarily that of “wow” her response (and yours) was something completely out of the realm of reasons I have ever heard for not wanting to let go of a name. I see your point, and I respect your feelings on the matter, but I don’t understand how its that much of a problem if you have relocated a fair distance from your family’s geographic location. Unless you do remove yourself from the region you will always be known as a part of that clan… and if you do move far enough away you should rarely, if ever run into anyone who knows your family’s story. If your family is known for raising hell in southwest Ohio, and you now live in Kansas or Texas for example, you should not have anything to worry about, other than the rare occasion you run into someone from your hometown, and even then they can still identify you. I am glad you chimed in, the responses to this post are interesting… now if I could only get people to reply here instead of Twitter and Facebook…LoL

Re: Why would you want to keep his last name?

mrggfep — Sun, 01 May 2011 22:07:19 -0000

This is definitely an interesting response, but for several reasons beyond the original topic. I read your response a couple of times and I understand the concept of being ashamed of one's family, but not to this extent. I mean is there no one you actually like in your family? You bring up another point, your last name identifies where you are from geographically, most people take pride in that, but you seem to find it annoying to have a name that has a foreign origin. It seems to me that you are ashamed of a lot of things in your past including your family, your family's homeland, and the fact that you were divorced... I mean you are using some other family's name but you don't even allow people to know that you have been married. You like your ex's last name but you don't like to expose the fact that you were once married to him?
Please excuse the tone I do not intend to offend you or sound overly harsh... I just find your response to contain a lot of things that signal other issues beyond the original topic and none of those issues came to mind while I was composing this post.

Young people are inpatient, they want change instantly, they have nothing to lose(no career, no house, no wife, often no Kids), and the youth have not been worn down by years or trying to make changes by going through the proper channels, youth are not afraid... The Youth see that they system is slow and broken and often exists to prepetuate injustice... I could go on... but all those things mean violence and/or extremism are more in line with how youth think change should come... fast and whether you old people like it or not.

I am not speaking in absolutes here, as we know that there are exceptions to every rule. But in general many of the women who blame their failed relationships on their success are usually not considering a much larger factor in the cause of the failure.
If any man suggests that you withhold your intelligence you need not value their dating advice.

So, please do tell me how many men have told you that you were too smart to date them....(Not how many you think felt that way for some other reason.)
