and did so on my own, hustling, going door to door, and not relying on people to put me places I did not put myself.

Do you think the rest of us were born with silverspoons in our mouths?

Actually, I am grateful for not having that stuff growing up because I have more drive, initiative, and determination than typically 10 people because I am not in line for a trust fund or anything like that.

I had a Monte Carlo, and now I have three cars. A sports car, an SUV, and a bomb to knock around in.

So, you are wrong, dead wrong, again.

TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!

No kidding. Crap happens. This crap happens to be knee deep. Sort of like when they went and tracked down Otis Day and the Knights ;-D

I think that's what we're watching tonight.

So the stripper's sexual history can't be discussed, but the accused can (if the judge so decides) have his background ripped to shreds.

Shades of the Kobe Bryant-Kate Faber case. Her bi-polar diagnosis and history of near nymphomania was off limits, but the prosecution was digging like mad to find something on Bryant, which, apparently, they never did.

Well, I think the purported rape victim's activities before and after the party will be allowed.

I'm glad those attorneys are going to work as a team! That's excellent news.

I'm sick at what this has done to their lives. Maybe years from now they'll get over it, but probably not.

"I hope the defense lawyers have had it photographed and scrapings taken for future testing if that need arises."

I hope the defense investigators have the snap to check out any open bottles of cough syrup in the meds cabinet in the frathouse bathroom to see if the accuser's DNA is present; either those boys slipped her something or she was having her own party in that bathroom ingesting whatever she could get her hands on, Kitty Dukakis-style.

I respect anyone in sales because sales is the most important part of any business. Essentially it is what I, just with a different focus. Sales requires brains, smarts, angles, and a good mind for chess.

Actually, I think a sales job should be required for most college kids since it gives you many skills that go in to other areas of life.

So, we may disagree on much, but respect anyone in sales since it is not only a difficult job, but requires a lot of character to succeed.

As far as self defense goes, I have a personal friend who was shot in the street by what he thought was a begger he was trying to help out.

I come across many dangerous people daily that are capable of a lot of bad things. Am I biased, yes, but sometimes I have to be.

I really think this law needs to be changed. Pronto. But given today's feminazi/PC charged atmosphere, there's little hope of that.

You obviously have enough money to get that insecurity complex treated. You might want to think about it. As my grandmother used to say "money can't buy good breeding". And that includes people who never had any money and then got some and people who always had money.

It would have been nice if they would have included an observation as to whether any of the players visible in the photos were wearing long sleeves.

As to Finnerty's record..

I read (I KNOW I READ) that the victim said Finnerty did not make any of the Gay comments to him. He said Finnerty was a minor player.

Its reality, we all have a choice. To either strive or to complain.

I choose to try to make things better for myself by working hard, hustling, etc.

I will admit, I have had some bad experiences with spoiled people from wealthy families. Its just sickening and most could use about 6 months of Marine Boot Camp.

FNC: Guest on Brit's show says that DNA was found on the accused bu tno match with lacrosse players. She says that pubic and head hair was taken from players and is being compared to a hair found on accused as well. She thinks results will be in tomorrow.

"If we were discussing an invasion of Iraq by cocaine-doped Iranian Islamic fanatics, we wouldn't have wasted as much time and energy on this subject.

I said what I thought, other people said what they thought."

What is your problem. You really lack a grasp of reality. Certainly you are in the top 5 if not THE top poster on this thread. By your own admission you "wasted...much time and energy on the subject" by ridiculing the side of the argument that has almost every point swaying their, and the accused's, way.

To sum up your argument:

1 - They must be rich kids because they play lacrosse
2 - The kids were idiots to put themselves in the situation
therefore....
3 - The accuser probably is telling the truth and these snotty, spoiled-brat, rich kids are probably guilty.

"When its all over, we'll see what the real story is - hopefully."

And if the real story is that she was lieing you will never be able to shed your obvious class hatred reputation solidified today.

Zulu - you wore no clothes.
