Not as a right as passed. |
In fact, several of the delegates worked to get an abolition of slavery...but they couldn't get the constitution passed with that in the works. |
( : |
In any case, the founding father of the constitution had some intent in mind of freedom. |
But I side with Lysnader Spooner in "The Constitution of No Authority." |
It's a shame they don't teach Spooner in grade school. Maybe we'd have more intellectual honesty if he was taught about. |

I can't believe you're trying to argue that slavery wasn't part of the Constitutional compromise. Of course there were those who wanted abolition, but that would have lost the southern states. Spooner's arguments came later (born around 1808). |

To correct some spelling errors in haste of posting: "Lysander Spooner" & "founding fathers." |

Guess you don't get out much - perhaps you should go see what the Sanford police said about why they couldn't charge Zimmerman (and therefore didn't investigate). The existence of the Stand Your Ground law intimidated, much like the stupidity of the law that makes water mangement district staff violate the law by takin... |

Zimmerman was the aggressor; exactly how does this law, which the lawmakers themselves have said should not apply in this case, protect Zimmerman be arrested for murder? Your case of gangs is ridiculous at best. |
11:52AM MAR 23RD 2012 |
Obviously, ridiculous at best - (since I can't directly post links, put in the "." in the spaces - criminallawbook com/assets/stand-ground pdf |
My understanding that the killed 15 year-old was an innocent bystander. |

Go look up the Tallahassee case, and the prosectutor's frustrated comments. |

By the way, the preceding does not constitute legal advice nor is it intended to constitute legal advice. |

"By the way", is not a great legal writing phrase, or a way to distance yourself from misrepresentation. Good luck with that disclaimer Mr. Giunta, J.D.-non-attorney. |

It's not legal advice BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT AN ATTORNEY. Just an arrogant gas bag! Someone should file and ethics charge against you with the bar for your representation of yourself. Disclaimers do not usually come in the "comment" section. Perhaps YOU need a lawyer. A REAL ONE. |

It's called the 1st Amendment - ANYONE can discuss hot legal issues and current events. |
Nice try though. Keep collecting your welfare check while you sit at home trolling the internet. It certainly makes for an entertaining read! |

This man needs to be brought to justice. The boy was on the phone talking with his girlfriend. Perhaps that's why he appeared to be wandering around in the rain. What 17 year old wants to talk to their boy/girl friend in front of their parents. So he was outside talking and I know when I am on the phone I don't just si... |

Why does this case rise to national attention? Why does the Black Caucus (if there was a white caucus it would be called racist) have their shorts in a wad? |
Don't the cops vet neighborhood watch people to make sure they are stable? |
10:33AM MAR 23RD 2012 |
Do you really think Zimmerman was vetted by the Sanford police? |
12:47PM MAR 23RD 2012 |
You're completely missing the point - it's ALWAYS up to the police and prosecution whether or not to take a case. |
In this case, the police were seen by witnesses tampering, "correcting" bystanders who said that Trayvon was screaming for help. |
With or without the 776.013(3), police NEVER HAVE TO arrest someone. It's ALWAYS in their discretion. |
The law has nothing to do with police misconduct. |
See my video on it here: |
"The Stand Your Ground Law and George Zimmerman in the Shooting of Trayvon Martin" |

It seems you missed the point. In this case, it will be up to the FEDS and a grand jury to file charges. If you have any legal background, you would know not to use the word "always". Especially in CAPS. Airhead. |
8:08PM MAR 23RD 2012 |
Oh thank you wise internet grammar mogul. |
The FEDS can and are taking it up to a grand jury. But that didn't absolve local police responsibility from making an arrest to begin with! |
8:14PM MAR 23RD 2012 |
You're a fool. Read your own statement about who ALWAYS brings the charges. Didn't do well in law school, and you won't do well in the real world. You apparently can't follow logical arguments. You and Eric could well be the same person. |
8:18PM MAR 23RD 2012 |
Yeah, I state again: |
"It's ALWAYS up to the police and prosecution whether or not to bring a charge." |
I didn't make an exhaustive list about who could bring a charge, only that the option is UP TO the police and prosecution to bring it. |
And this beautifully highlights how one line can be read so many ways. (: |
9:57AM MAR 24TH 2012 |
Well of course you didn't make "an exhaustive list". You just categorically said "ALWAYS". Which makes you a very bad attorney, law student, or "juris doctor". You wear you ignorance with pride. |

sticks and stones (and mom's boyfriend) will break my bones |
This morning on my way to work I caught the 702 news and the headline was about a South African boy who has reportedly died in a UK hospital after a fire at his home, apparently started by his mother's ex-boyfriend. |
This got me thinking about one of the children at the Lighthouse Baby Shelter, who had been removed from his mother's care because her boyfriend was physically abusing him. Low and behold baby number two arrived and the magistrate removed the infant immediately too, believing she would be at risk. The magistrate had to... |
As much as I can't judge or pass comment, it is difficult for me to comprehend how a mom stands by and allows her partner to hurt, humiliate and sometimes kill, her own child or children. To try understand it a little better I googled to find out if abuse by a step parent is a common occurrence. It is. In fact it's so ... |
You don't have to look very hard to find horrific cases of abuse of children by step parents. There's the case of 7-year-old Nixzmary Brown who was beaten to death by her stepfather. There's the 17 month old boy who had cooking oil, heated in a frying pan, poured on his genitals and beaten to the point of sustaining sp... |
It would seem that there are some that know no boundaries when it comes to the pain, torture and cruelty inflicted on those around them. What's even more shocking is how the victims are often voiceless because of how young they are. Recently with the change in the weather patterns, the tsunamis and earthquakes I joking... |
1. I find child abuse one of those things, I try to understand - because it occurs, but at the same time my brain cannot process it, and then I feel sick and want to throw up. |
I have no idea what the solution is. |
But society cannot carry on the way it is right now with children being hurt and killed and onlookers do nothing. |
Sad post, made me sadder ..... but not your fault. |
2. Didn't mean to make you sad. Sorry : ( |
Because we got Emma from a shelter we heard some horror stories. And even though there is always another way (in my mind at least) people still do this. For every unloved, unwanted baby or child in the world there is a family waiting to pour love on them... |
3. Thank you for this post I didnt realise there was a term for it. I did link my post to you I hope you dont mind. |
and its not a new problem thats the really sad thing. :( |
4. It's so awful it makes me feel ill. I also realise yet again how wonderful my husband is, he is a step parent to 2 of our children but I often forget he is a step parent, he's their Dad and he would never hurt them. |
5. Carla thankfully a lot of step dads are wonderful and like you say your husband isn't their step dad, he's DAD xxx |

The small company I work for is currently looking for a few good programmers. We have posted job listings in a few places and hit up the local user group boards, but haven't really gotten anything back on any of that. |
As a developer what elements of a job posting would make you respond: |
• Company Name (i.e. Microsoft, Oracle, or in our line of work BAE, Boeing, Lockheed Martin). |
• Type of work (This seems kind of obvious, but would be like ROR or Java, etc.) |
• Work Environment |
• Computers used (MacBook PRO for everyone) |
• Salary range |
• Other |
It's a little hard to believe that given the overall job market that we don't even get resumes. We are in a hot market (DC area), but it still seems a bit hard. |

I would think that company name is not an issue for you. Those who want to work for BAE or MSFT will apply there directly (unless they are lazy). Your job post needs to stand out somehow and sound honest. Have you read Peopleware? Do you post your score on Joel Test? Have you looked into So careers? – Job Jul 25 '11 a... |
What are you doing besides posting jobs on job boards? Unless I was explicitly interested in working for the company, most of the jobs I've applied to weren't through a posting, but by the company reaching out to me (coming to my university, emailing me). Very rarely have I ever browsed job postings. Perhaps your HRM p... |
Check out this ad before it expires: It looked quite good to me - small company, smart people, cool technology, decent salary, good location. The name of the company does not matter to me. What they do does. Whether they have GOOD heat and air conditioning does. – Job Jul 25 '11 at 15:16 |
Have you tried LinkedIn ? That's the only way it worked for us, in addition to local job help companies. – user2567 Jul 25 '11 at 16:17 |
We are working with recruiters, but they haven't produced much either. We can look at LinkedIn when we are ready for our next push. We tried 37Signals and all we got was a bunch of consulting companies offering us their services. – Bill Leeper Jul 25 '11 at 16:44 |

My filter is "does this look like it was written by someone in HR or a recruiter with zero idea of how to actually do any of this work?" If it was written by HR, I'll pass thank you very much. |
