Sidebar Discussion #2

I find myself defending myself because someone asked me a question. I wasn't shoving anything at anyone by simply answering said question. And never felt offended until another poster did exactly what you are accusing me of, shoving their opinion as the only opinion allowed on the thread. And again, I have no problem with anyone having their own opinion and rejecting mine. However, I think I'm entitled to same.

Chill out and eat some turkey! It's Thanksgiving in Canada and we're having a party (on this thread anyway)

Enjoy!

okay, I'll give you that - it's a mystery. However, just because it was found that no family member was the father doesn't mean that the family KNEW that no family member was the father. Heck they didn't even want to know she was pregnant til over 7 months, lol. I don't recall a friend stating that Casey didn't know but even if one did, doesn't mean it's true. The friend could be lying or even Casey could have lied to the friend. Of course, you could be right as well. However, at this point it's still a secret and/or mystery within the family. JMO.

There's a saying in medicine (diagnostics) that if a doctor hears hoofbeats, he's more likely to be right if he thinks "horse" rather than "zebra".

That's why most of the time, when people go to the doctor with a fear they have cancer or some exotic illness, they have a Vitamin B deficiency or need iron tablets or something like that.

In order for me to "buy" the defense team's "diagnosis", I'd have to be thinking "zebras". In order to buy it, I'd have to believe the Anthony family suffered from some exotic "disease" rather than be a family of prosaic, boring LIARS that wouldn't know the truth if it hit them upside the head.

Thinking "horses" instead of "zebras" is something that comes with age and experience. If you experience and learn from your experiences, this is obvious. If a person believes themSELVES to be some sort of exotic beast, so very unique and unusual, they are more likely to be very YOUNG or sheltered, and will be more likely to attritute exotic causes to boring old human evil. I think a reluctance to acknowledge evil in other people follows a reluctance to admit it in yourself. And this may really piss off a lot of people, but I suspect the "Casey is Innocent" crowd RELATES with her, wishes their own (probably paltry in comparison) selfish acts to be explained away by some unique, exotic reason instead of being faced.

Now THAT is JMO

WARNING: Lay off the molestation discussion. There was never ANY evidence to support these contentions. Never. Molestation is a serious charge that will follow a person for the rest of his/her life, whether true or not. And they will impact every part of a person's life.

WS said a long, long time ago, because of FCA's constant and continual lying and fantasy life and absolutely no supporting evidence, comments or MSM articles, etc. to support such charges, the discussion is off the table.

So stop. No more warnings. You guys know the rules. You can discuss FCA's guilt or innocence all day long - that's okay. But lay off the molestation charges unless you pull out some FACTS to support the theory. And dysfunctional family is not going to get it unless you are verified professional poster with experience in a related field.

Some little Thanksgiving funnies......


George Carlin
We're having something a little different this year for Thanksgiving. Instead of a turkey, we're having a swan. You get more stuffing.

Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
Turkey: A large bird whose flesh, when eaten on certain religious anniversaries has the peculiar property of attesting piety and gratitude.

Erma Bombeck, No One Diets on Thanksgiving
What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?

Cornelius Plantinga, Jr.
It must be an odd feeling to be thankful to nobody in particular. Christians in public institutions often see this odd thing happening on Thanksgiving Day. Everyone in the institution seems to be thankful 'in general.' It's very strange. It's a little like being married in general.

Russell Baker
It was dramatic to watch my grandmother decapitate a turkey with an ax the day before Thanksgiving. Nowadays the expense of hiring grandmothers for the ax work would probably qualify all turkeys so honored with 'gourmet' status.

Jon Stewart
I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

Johnny Carson
Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often.

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

You are hilarious. Yes, if you deep fried a smoked turkey it might taste similar to porky but it would be terrible and dried out (since smoked has already been cooked once).
