Overheard comment: "why did they think they needed Segregation when the Blacks segregate themselves?"

PLAYBOY to stop publishing nude pics.

While the world may have changed since the 1970s, what's next? Toyota to stop producing cars?

Did they take a reader poll and they voted no
more nude pics? Actually, it lets them
be sold everywhere, even supermarkets.

I'd say it is a ploy to get readers to demand they stay as-is but I smell the work of an MBA here. I predict disaster. Smells so much like the 1980s when Detroit tried to half-emulate the foreign makes. But the buyers were buying what they liked before the change and the foreign buyers still would not consider Detroit iron.

Or McDonald's and the McLean. Or any other number of the same thing.

Like I say, I smell the work of an MBA.

Or the New Coke. The old Coke works
so well, lets change it. Lets take nude
girls out of Playboy so nobody will
buy it, that's the ticket.

Bizarre story.
World of Life Christian Church
One teen is beaten to death, another beaten and in serious condition
Beaten by their parents, sister and other members of the church
The teen beaten to death, the charge, manslaughter
Manslaughter??????
That's a charge for instances where you had no intention of killing such as drunk driving
If you beat somebody to death, how is that not intentional murder?

And they look so intelligent.

It would be too easy to pile on the Christian thugs, but the charge is the right one. If you try them for murder, they'd walk the minute the prosecution couldn't prove killing was intended. Not foreseen, but intended.

Rather than piling on, though, I'll simply point out people, and I use the term loosely, like these Christians are the real threat to religious liberty.

My reading is if you only intended to beat and not to kill. Sorry, you asked.
