I think he got off too. Think about it, an 80 year old man gets sixty years in prison. The guy is likely to die with in the next 3 years. Thats America for you.

Your arguing with someone who believes racisim is bound by geographical areas here Stolenhaolo - your logic is wasted.

how about this logic, i dont care if this one is a fraud or not, i will admit i didnt bother watching this case, because the last one had a kid that could correctly identify a birthmark on mike's bits....that is a hard thing to overcome...after that ill admit i VERY inclined to beleive that since he got off once, he doesnt have a problem doing it again

What - are you implying that sexual offendors have a high rate of recidivism?

Why that is utterly ... true.

I live in Mississippi and work at one of the call centers here..... what a mess.... that's all we've heard about for the past several years, it took 14 years to have the case reopened and a conviction for it. Thank goodness it's over, and he gets what he deserves.

mississippi has been doing a lot recently to erase the negative rascist image it has been given. I had some cousins that lived near holly springs and about 5 years ago somebody passed out flyers for the KKK in their neighborhood. I thought that was crazy. Living more northern and in the city things like that don't happen.

You honestly believe that?

Gee - I never knew racism was bound by arbitrary geographical borders.

you idiot, no KKK flyers at my apartment complex north of nashville.

Oh - I see. You didn't get a flyer - so it doesn't exist.

didn't say they didn't exist. just not as blatant about it. They wouldn't go around passing flyers out on doorsteps in my neighborhood or at least it hasn't happened yet. My cousin spoke of it like it was nothing new. I was shocked but he was nonchalant in telling me about it. They live close to holly springs, MS but further from the city.

rascism exists northern but its seems as though its more in the closet and some are not as blatant with it.

That's called a stereotype.

how is that a stereotype? A lot of things happened in mississippi that didnt happen in new york city or los angeles or at least no where near as often. check your history.

Enjoy your ignorance

You speak of history and ignornace - yet make claims that reek of ignorance and ignore history.

You seem to forget that the first branch of the KKK was established in Pulaski, Tennessee. Of course - your ancestors probably never got a flyer for that - so it never happened.

Check your history - you will find that this statement could not be more inaccurate.

captian poopoo, you my friend are the one that reeks of ignorance. You seem to be the fact finder. answer this. How many lynchings took place in oh lets say Philadelphia, PA? Now find how many took place in neshoba county, MS. Holla Back. This is coming from someone who argued that you can unlock a CDMA phone. don't mind captian poopoo. hes the customer who called in and asked "why did you steal my minutes" about his go phone. lamer

You seem to be ingorant to the fact that I live north of Pulaski. Pulaski is in the southern part of the country. You try...

My ebonics is non-existant so I used a translator to make my post comphrendable to you.


This is coming from someone who argued that you can unlock a CDMA phone....Now go take your verizon phone and activate it on sprint service.


Talk ta Verizon. Sprint has a closed ESN database - wheeaas Verizon does not - so yo example makes absolutely no sense. - aww yea foo.


Pulaski is in the southern part of the country.


Um ... Tennessee be a state - not a country - aww yea foo..

you are an idiot. The U.S. is a country. Pulaski is in TN. TN is in the southern part of the U.S. Hence, Pulaski is in the southern part of the country. Get a girlfriend. This guy is at home on phonescoop. lmfao

Nice attempt at a recovery.

Before you tout history - perhaps you should understand it yourself.

Btw - racisim isn't bound to membership in the KKK either nor by geographical borders.


The second Ku Klux Klan rose to great prominence and spread from the South into the Midwest and Northern states and even into Canada. The KKK controlled the government of Indiana, Oklahoma, and Oregon in addition to those of the Southern states.

It even claimed to have inducted President Warren Harding at the White House. At its peak in the 1920s, its membership exceeded 4,000,000 and counted many politicians among its members. Even the 33rd president Harry Truman was on the verge of becoming a member of the Klan, though he soon chang

nice attempt for you as well. You still fail to answer the question I asked you. Who said rascism is bound to the KKK. Not me, You sir. Its everywhere, but more prevalent and blatant in some parts. Now answer my question. how many lynchings?

Jun 22, 2005, 2:45 PM
The question you have to ask yourself is what did I mean by "things". Did I mean rascism in general? Or KKK flyers on my doorstep? Re-read my post and the common sense answer will be obvious.
...
captainplooky

Jun 22, 2005, 2:53 PM
Yes - common sense dictates that since you did not personally recieve a flyer - they are not distrubuted.

Thank you for pointing that out - I do not know how I missed that.
