At one point, delmarm4fun asked “Emily” again if she was 18. <br /><br />“No, I’m 15,” Venneman replied. <br /><br />“Aha,” delmarm4fun said again. “My bad.” <br /><br />“What’s wrong?” Venneman asked. <br /><br />“Didn’t realize you were 15. . . .” <br /><br />“So why u don’t like me,” Venneman typed, mimicking an adolescent’s mangled syntax. <br /><br />“I do, very much. LOL. Just don’t want any trouble.” <br /><br />After about an hour of this, according to logs later presented in court, the man Venneman was talking to masturbated in front of a webcam and announced he was off to take a shower. <br /><br />“U know ur in a lot of trouble, don’t you,” Venneman typed. <br /><br />“Huh?” <br /><br />“I’m a undercover police officer. U need to call me A.S.A.P.” <br /><br />“Nah,” delmarm4fun wrote. “Your not 15. Yahoo is for 18 and over. It’s all fantasy. No crime.” <br /><br />“I have your phone number and I will be getting your IP address from Yahoo and your carrier,” Venneman wrote. “We can do this 2 ways call me and you can turn yourself in at a latter date or I’ll get a warrant for you and come pick you up.” "<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/26/magazine/scott-ritter.html?hp<br /><br /><br /><br />Big brother is watching it seems.

Here in Arizona Tuesday, Santorum faced repeated questioning about portions of a 2008 speech at a Catholic university in Florida in which he said, "Satan is attacking the great institutions of America."<br /><br />"I don't know what's newsmaking that Rick Santorum believes in right and wrong, good and evil, God and the devil," says one campaign aide. "I really don't know how that's out of the mainstream."<br /><br />It's not. In 2007, the Gallup polling organization asked Americans whether they believe in God, in heaven, in hell, and in the devil. The results: 86 percent of those questioned said they believed in God, 81 percent in heaven, 70 percent in the devil, and 69 percent in hell.<br /><br />Just 21 percent of those questioned said they do not believe in the devil, giving Satan a healthy 70-21 believe/disbelieve ratio. (Eight percent said they weren't sure.)</i><br /><br /><br />Remember now, the devil's biggest tactic is to make you think he doesn't exist.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-22837435961231253382012-02-22T15:19:48.547-05:002012-02-22T15:19:48.547-05:00Maxine Waters for Secretary of Energy!

Certainly none of the dumb ones.<br /><br />This is the story on Netanyahu. It is all about him and his political career. No existential threat to Israel and the US and he has no job.

Unfortunately, in today’s America, ....<br /><br />PC on you.<br /><br /><i>Unfortunately, in today’s America, actual instances of racism are so rare that false allegations of racism are the new racism. We are left with bizarre new English language rules with perplexing vagaries on usage: May I use “chink in the armor” when referring to the weakness in the game of non-Asian basketball players, or has the very meaning of a non-racist phrase been so consumed by the slurred meaning of one of its words that we must never again speak, even with historical accuracy, of the practice developed by the men in armor?<br /><br />First Amendment be damned – political correctness is forming a list of words we can’t say. Sometimes, the new rules hold that certain people can say words, but others cannot.<br /><br />Controversy recently surrounded the word “niggardly.” It is a word of Nordic etymology that means a small sum, having nothing to do with race. The N-word* is a slur of Latin etymology (Latin for the color black is niger) that has nothing to do with sums. They aren’t even homonyms as they are spelled differently (note the “er” vs the “ar” difference). At best, they share an inexact phonetic sound, making the two words about as related as Jeremy Lin and Loretta Lynn.<br /><br />Back in 1999, David Howard was a white aid to black DC mayor Anthony Williams. Howard referred to that year’s budget as “niggardly,” noting of course its size, not its color. Swift came the allegations of racism and Howard tendered his resignation and the Mayor accepted it. What happened next confounds those of us trying to navigate the new language rules. Howard is gay. The gay community lobbied for his reinstatement, and the Mayor offered to re-hire him. I’m not sure if that means gays can’t be racist, blacks can’t fire gays, niggardly is not the N-word for thee but is for me, or something else...</i><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://ricochet.com/main-feed/Armor-Chinks-Niggardly-Sums-and-Retarded-Growth-Political-Correctness-Controls-The-Dictionary" rel="nofollow">PC Police?
