Actually, it's spelled "gypped", since it's a heartless slur on gypsies.
Maybe they could just toss the loose end over a sturdy tree branch.
"Is it time yet?"....The clock's a'tickin'.;^)
Shhhh!!! You might offend the illegitimate children.
One of Orwell's most important messages in 1984 is that language is of central importance to human thought because it structures and limits the ideas that individuals are capable of formulating and expressing. If control of language were centralized in a political agency, Orwell proposes, such an agency could possibly alter the very structure of language to make it impossible to even conceive of disobedient or rebellious thoughts, because there would be no words with which to think them. This idea manifests itself in the language of Newspeak, which the Party has introduced to replace English. The Party is constantly refining and perfecting Newspeak, with the ultimate goal that no one will be capable of conceptualizing anything that might question the Party's absolute power. The ever vigilant eyes of Big Brother are the Thought Police. The principles of doublethink. The best explanation of doublethink are examples provided by slogans. These are: WAR IS PEACE; SLAVERY IS FREEDOM; and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
I think right now Idaho is "Look, see, we're not racist" mode and that is causing it's government to do lots of very silly things.
I am not afraid to say it: fear of a label makes us all slaves as surely as the whip.
Sure hope the moderators aren't susceptible.
Is that why they found him guilty, or was it for the threat of violence? It's hard to believe WorldNetDaily gives the straight scoop on anything.
The jury had to decide on which Oprah topic to convict, fan violence at kid's events or thought crimes. In any event, it wouldn't have reached court if the races were reversed.
The problem with this case goes all the way up to the governor and legislature, and the decisions to change the image of Idaho in the eyes of the nation, even if the history books have to be reprinted, maps redrawn, anything but telling the truth and abiding by the Constitution. Idaho has a colorful and diverse history without the fabrications from the left.
Take a look at the official Idaho website. It drips so heavily with PC slime, it's disgusting.
Never underestimate the power of ignorant people in large numbers.
The point I was trying to make is that no-one here seemed all that concerned that we didn't have the whole story and that blame was instantly placed upon the ref.. I'm sure that we are all in aggreement as to the merit of PC/Hate Crime legislation/law so I felt that there was no reason to even bring up the issue. I did however feel the need to bring up the fact that we didn't have the whole story and that meant we should prolly not be laying blame on anyone.

It seems that there are two methods for conducting searches on FR's website and one is much more productive than the other. I was using the "Search" box on the latest posts page and it only produced a couple of results. After investigating your links, I tried clicking on the "Search" option (in blue) above the "search" box and that method produced several pages of results. This could be one of the reasons we have so many duplicate posts on this forum.
Thanks for the links.
We have the story as written by Diana Lynne, a reporter/writer for WorldNetDaily. Do we ever get the whole story from a journalist? Of course not.
