RE: Police shootings of innocent victims (Jacksonville Florida Sheriff's Office)
"Cowards thoughtlessly use overwhelming force as a first choice in inappropriate situations because they are, well they are cowards. They should test police for cowardliness in the presence of a minor threat and remove them if they over react, as cowards with guns are a threat to innocent people everywhere."Found HERE, (user "overdoneputaforkinit") Date: 08/12/2010 10:23 AM
Note: One person questioned whether "coward" was the right word to use, but they agreed wholeheartedly with the poster's sentiment by recharacterizing the police action as, "...monumental stupidity and a reckless, cowboy disregard for anyone or anything other than getting the suspect. Unbelievable stupidity and a grotesque love of their own power. Gross recklessness. Mind-numbing and power-mad. Such tiny brains I'm surprised they can walk and chew gum at the same time..."

RE: Godwin's Law
"Godwin's Law is more for things like discussions on whether coffee or tea is better, with the tea lover calling the coffee lover a Nazi since Hitler liked coffee. Discussions on, say, comparing a certain president - who invades countries on false pretenses, tries to establish a police state in his own country, calls people who disagrees with him 'traitors', kills hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and calls it 'collateral damage', and so on - with Hitler would not invoke Godwin's Law since there is a reasonable basis for a comparison."Evilest Doer (969227), July 04 2007)

RE: About Disco-Era musical group, The Village People
"... the band was essentially engineered; designed and recruited by a producer to become successful and make money. Menudo, New Kids on the Block, N'Sync, and Backstreet Boys all also originated this way. Pop music from engineered groups is largely disposable; if you listen to it thirty years later, it's not because you like the chord changes, it's because it reminds you of some aspect of being alive when it was new."Found HERE (comment by akb4 - orange, NJ)

Full Quote:
[Nope. Color has many causes: absorption as with dyes, interference as with interference filters, and scattering as with smoke and aerogel. But further, color is a property perceived by humans and created by human retinas and minds response to incoming light. Regardless of the physical mechanism, if blue light comes from an object illuminated with white light, then we say that the object is 'colored blue'. Aerogel is blue/white in color. So are opals. So are thick layers of gas. If I look at a gas and see blue, then the color of the gas is blue. That's what the word 'color' means. The spectral distribution of the light striking the retina is critical, while the details of the physics which produced that distribution are irrelevant, because if it looks blue, it really is blue. Your reasoning is also wrong because, in order to be consistent, we'd have to say that interference coatings and blue-jay feathers and Morpho butterfly wings are NOT COLORED. After all, interference coatings and morpho wings and bluejay feathers are entirely made of transparent materials, and their perceived colors are created by wave interference rather than by dyes. Bluejays are blue, yet there are no blue dyes in their feathers at all. Air is analogous: when air is lit from the side, the air is colored blue, even though the color is created by wave mechanics rather than by selective absorbtion. (And of course air is also red/orange, as during a sunset. The color of air varies with viewing angle. Hmmm. Perhaps you would say that, if the color of an object will change in proportion to angle, then the color is not real?) -billb ]
