Sorry, I don't play the Moral Equivalency Game. I see no difference between Lying, Adultery, or Theft. All are wrong, with no degree of difference severity-wise.

You left out murder.

[cinFLA]

And YOU have NEVER stolen anything in YOUR life?

[Yeti]

Chad, for what it's worth you aren't alone.

I am not thoroughly convinced of Scott's guilt and I think the Rochas are showing something about themselves as a clan by doing this.

[Jackie-O]

Mine bailed on me tonight! Both overnight at friends.
Mom was tired and crabby today, get out while the gettin' is good!

[Chad Fairbanks]

So you have never told a lie in YOUR life?

I;m not the subject of the current story being discussed. Please stay on topic.

[cinFLA]

Gerago's plan is working; at least on you.

[Yeti]

I'm real angry on the inside... but don't like to waste my energy on someone you cannot reason with in a logical manner.

I know, I know.

And you are wise not to stoop too far down into it.

[Chad Fairbanks]

You left out murder

You left out "allegedly". Always glad to help...

[cinFLA]

Duck! Duck! You are either Jesus Christ or you are scum (by your definition).

[Chad Fairbanks]

And YOU have NEVER stolen anything in YOUR life?

Once again, this isn't about me. Thanks for playing.

[cinFLA]

No. We were talking morality. You were equating lying, cheating, stealing. I added murder.

[A CA Guy]

These people haven't stolen ANYTHING.

They wanted their family stuff back and I have told the stubborn Chad Fairbanks earlier in the day, if they went to court to het Laci's things back they would come up missing or it would cost them $20,000 in lawyer fees to get $750 worth of memories.

Nothing wrong happened here.

Why couldn't her family go there, but his was there swimming and everything all the time?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Chad, for what it's worth you aren't alone.

:0)

I am not thoroughly convinced of Scott's guilt and I think the Rochas are showing something about themselves as a clan by doing this.

Excellent summation. :0)

[cinFLA]

It IS about you and your opinions. You say anyone that lies is scum and equate lying, cheating, stealing, etc as all equivalent and anyone that does so is scum. I am curious how you fit in; JC or scum?

[Canadian Outrage]

It sure is too bad T.!!! In fact Laci never had the opportunity to be a great Mom and to live life which he enjoyed so much. From all the interviews by people who know her, it was unanimous that Laci loved life. She cruelly had her life snatched from her and from the little angel she was carrying. In fact, EVERYONE who knew Laci from School teacher, friends, neighbours etc. the conclusion of all of them was "to know Laci was to love her".

[cinFLA]

Sorry, I don't play the Moral Equivalency Game. I see no difference between Lying, Adultery, or Theft. All are wrong, with no degree of difference severity-wise.

Are YOU JC or scum?

[Yeti]

Gerago's plan is working; at least on you.

My opinion hasn't changed too much since January, long before Geragos.

On the contrary, I would say its some of the others with strong opinions, but little in the way of fact upon which to base them that are being manipulated.

Hunches, gut reactions, similarities to personal life circumstances... If I did all that, I would be absolutely certain that Amber did it.

And if I just credulously watched TV and read the tabloids, or followed peer pressure I would be absolutely certain Scott did it.

But I try to be circumspect at least question myself a little and apply reason to my thinking, and that makes me uncertain of anyones guilt, and able to find fault in ALL of the players in this little (melo)drama.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Duck! Duck! You are either Jesus Christ or you are scum (by your definition).

Still getting personal, I see. For what it;s worth, then I guess I'm scum.

See that? I'm so humble, it's probably my most incredible characteristic... ;0)

[Chad Fairbanks]

No. We were talking morality. You were equating lying, cheating, stealing. I added murder.

Ok. Let's play 'morality' - when a man lies, he murders a part of the world. Lies and murder are, morally, on the same plane...

Will have MSNBC on Monday. Just as soon as my son and I come to an agreement on what sports channels HE is going to give up. Short of an agreement, he LOSES!!
