Da **** is wrong with Texas? Moses now in text books said to have been influential on democracy and writing of the US Constitution



Seriously though, the **** is with Texas and reality?

This has to be fake or somehow misinterpeted. There is no way this can be kept in the textbooks once someone with common sense challenges it.

Girl kills herself after her father posts a video of himself cutting off her hair as punishment online.

Really sad. It seems as though the father may have done more than record himself cutting her hair but it isnt substantiated.

I dont understand this trend of publicly shaming your children as a means of punishment. It seems more like bullying to get likes on social media for being a "good parent".

I've done some investigating on this and it is not definitely confirmed to be her nor is the claims about her public shaming being responsible for the alleged suicide (which is itself under investigation as to whether it was intentional or accidental going over the side of the bridge).

Snopes

Officially, Izabel Laxamana has not been publicly identified in news reports about the suicide incident in Tacoma, and while she resembles the young woman seen in the video above, the circumstances under which the clip surfaced (and the precise date on which it was published) have not yet been confirmed.

I checked a few sites and MSNBC and the New York Times ran the same story.

 

[Teelie]

It will be challeneged then and hopefully common sense does prevail.

It's Texas. The same state that banned banning fracking along with banning electric cars.

And as I also found out.

Texas passes law to allow concealed firearms on college campuses statewide

The Texas House passed a bill on Sunday, May 31, which will allow any licensed gun owner to carry a concealed firearm inside college buildings on any public campus in the state. It is already legal for people to carry on outdoor portions of campuses.

The bill, known as the Campus Carry bill, passed 98-47 votes and is expected to be signed by the governor, Greg Abbott.

The bill forces all public institutions to allow for concealed weapons on campus, and will only allow for public universities to designate specific “gun free” zones on campuses, but they are not allowed to make the entire campus gun free. Private universities and colleges will be allowed to opt out of the bill.

This is perhaps the worst legislation Texas has ever passed. The last thing that a bunch of college kids need is a gun to play with. Combine binge drinking with guns and I can almost guarantee that no good will come of it. I understand that people want to be able to “protect themselves” but there’s a much simpler way.

Increased campus security.

So what was that about common sense?

Just one more reason for me to never go to that state.

Warner Bros. Fined a Fan $20 for Pirating the 31st-Best Friends Episode

Some ways to watch Friends, a classic situational comedy about white people, include: buying digital episodes for a couple of bucks each, purchasing them on physical DVDs for even less than that, or catching some of the many, many syndicated reruns available on network television for free. Or you could just pirate an episode and agree to pay Warner Bros. $20 in an automated settlement offer. Whatever. Up to you.

WB has reportedly been emailing people who’ve downloaded Friends episodes over BitTorrent and offering them a deal—“The One Where You Pay Us $20 and We Make This All Go Away.”

According to TorrentFreak, this is the message that went out from Rights Corp., a digital enforcer claiming to represent WB, to an anonymous Sir or Madam who pirated the 31st-greatest episode of the show (“The One With Five Steaks and an Eggplant,” from season 2).

“Although WB understands and appreciates that you are a fan of its content, the unauthorized uploading and downloading of its copyrighted content is a serious matter,” the notice reads.

“Your ISP service could be suspended if this matter is not resolved. You could also be liable for substantial civil penalties for copyright infringement.”​

“The damage to WB from your conduct substantially exceeds $20,” the message concludes, “but in the interest of having you stop your infringement of WB content permanently, WB is prepared to make you this settlement offer.”

[Citation Needed], though, because the episode is readily available in several forms for much less than $20. What are the alleged damages to Warner Bros? The cost of contracting a company to email alleged pirates of a show about delightfully quirky white New Yorkers with unrealistically huge apartments?

Rightscorp represents a couple of large clients in Warner Bros. and BMG Music, but its business model is apparently not working out especially well. In an SEC filing last year—(“The One Where The Company Has Not Yet Established an Ongoing Source of Revenues Sufficient to Cover Its Operating Costs and to Allow It to Continue as a Going Concern”)—Rightscorp disclosed net losses of $6.5 million since it was founded.

That might explain why it’s digging deeper into its clients’ back catalogs than before, and going after 20-year-old episodes of Friends.

“This is the first time that we’ve seen people being targeted for downloading video content that’s more than 20-years-old,” notes TorrentFreak.

Could they be any more desperate?

Trust No One: Dog Walker Allegedly Traded Puppy for Drugs

Never trust anyone is pretty much the message a New York woman is sending after outsourcing her dog walking needs.

According to the New York Post, the dog walker picked the dog up, took it for a walk and then sold the lil pup for a lil bit of PCP. Via Gothamist:

According to the Post, Bogle accuses the 46-year-old Doerr in the lawsuit of trading Sugar for PCP. The lawsuits states that he was”detained by the police who had allegedly searched him and found him in possession of a controlled substance, believed to be PCP....[She was also told] that [Doerr] ‘traded’ Sugar to some drug dealers in return for PCP or sold Sugar in order to obtain money to buy drugs. Morgan believes that her best friend and beloved pet was sold by Doerr to be used in connection with dog-fighting or traded for controlled substances.”​

Walk your own dog. Wash your own dog. There’s apparently no other way to keep your dog alive.

Texas Governor deploys state guard to stop Obama from taking over Texas

When rookie Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced he was ordering the Texas State Guard to monitor a Navy SEAL/Green Beret joint training exercise, which was taking place in Texas and several other states, everybody here looked up from their iPhones. What?

It seems there is concern among some folks that this so-called training maneuver is just a cover story. What's really going on? President Obama is about to use Special Forces to put Texas under martial law.

Let's walk over by the fence where nobody can hear us, and I'll tell you the story.

You see, there are these Wal-Marts in West Texas that supposedly closed for six months for "renovation." That's what they want you to believe. The truth is these Wal-Marts are going to be military guerrilla-warfare staging areas and FEMA processing camps for political prisoners. The prisoners are going to be transported by train cars that have already been equipped with shackles.

On the plus side someone did call this moron out on this

"Your letter pandering to idiots ... has left me livid," former state Rep. Todd Smith wrote Abbott. "I am horrified that I have to choose between the possibility that my Governor actually believes this stuff and the possibility that my Governor doesn't have the backbone to stand up to those who do."

Yeesh, Texas is there any insanity left for you to not try?

Naked Canadians cause earthquake.

Legend has it that Mount Kinabalu on the Asian island of Borneo, a popular hiking destination for tourists, is also a sacred resting place for ancient spirits.

Among the travel tips listed on the site's official web page is a warning: "Believe it or not, do not shout, scream or curse the mountain at any point of time."

Officials in Malaysia have said some tourists stripping naked on the top of the mountain was so offensive that it caused an earthquake last week, killing at least 18 people.

They said several foreigners, including two from Saskatchewan, broke away from their guided group and took photos of themselves naked on the peak.

Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan said the foreigners "showed disrespect to the sacred mountain" and a special ritual would have to be held later to "appease the mountain spirit."

Is it just me or does that sound like human sacrifice?

Army Doctor Did Some Very Bad Things to His Students

According to a truly disturbing report from the Virginia Board of Medicine, an Army doctor ran “experiments” on his students for years—wildly unsafe, government-funded sessions allegedly fueled by ketamine, alcohol and what sounds like some sort of personality disorder.

According to Reuters, Dr. John Henry Hagmann is the founder of Deployment Medicine International, which offers battlefield training to the military to the tune of roughly $10 million in billing so far. But his “training” sessions sound decidedly more Freudian than Hippocratic.

A sort of pattern, or M.O., if you will, emerges from the official report, which accuses Hagnann of giving dozens of students ketamine injections and seemingly unnecessary penile procedures during the two-year period detailed by investigators. Via Reuters:

In one case detailed by investigators, Virginia authorities allege that Hagmann boasted to a student “about his proficiency with rectal exams” and took the student to a warehouse on his property. There, the report claims, the two “continued to consume beer” and Hagmann asked the student “about the effect (the student’s) uncircumcised penis had on *********ion and sexual intercourse.” The student told investigators “that he was inebriated and felt that he could not refuse Dr. Hagmann’s request … to examine, manipulate and photograph his penis.”After receiving ketamine, midazolam and IV fluid, Patient D was catheterized.​

The Virginia medical board report also says Hagmann conducted what board investigators described as “ketamine labs,” “alcohol labs,” and “cognition labs.” The labs, officials wrote, “involved the dosing of ketamine and consumption of alcohol, at times in combination or in quick succession, so that he (Hagmann) could assess the effects of these substances on their cognition.”​

During a July 2013 course in North Carolina, authorities say, participants were provided eight shots of rum in 10 minutes. About an hour later, they were allegedly injected with ketamine. Officials allege that one intoxicated participant received a penile nerve block, a type of anesthesia. When other students stepped in to prevent a second intoxicated student from receiving the procedure, the report says, Hagmann volunteered himself, and students performed a penile nerve block on him.​

In the meantime, Hagmann’s license has been suspended pending a hearing.

He tells Reuters the allegations are “amplified” by animal rights activists and argues any “sexual harassment” of his uncircumcised student was purely intellectual: “The historical link between circumcision and *********ion is a fact dating since Victorian England and is still a current topic subject to scientific research,” he says.

So Fox sports just tried to pass off a Vancouver skyline as Monctons for the womens Fifa soccer tournament. Just to let you know, Moncton is my home town with a population of around 100,000. Vancouver is on the other side of the country and has a population of around 600,000.

Here's the difference.

Vancouver

Moncton

These morons are lazy as ****, I just googled Moncton skyline and found a good half dozen photos they could have used.

Send them an email. Give em hell!

I try to ignore them but the more stupid **** they do just makes me wish I had an ignore button for the entire company.
