I remember thinking how stupid it was that Tom Cruise had a big advantage in War of the Worlds because he was the only person out of thousands and thousands who had thought to grab a gun. Even if he was in New York, it was stupid. Great film though. Pictured, the A-12 spy plane which is likely what is behind the Area 51 cover up

Bohemian Nights posted:It's nice to see some police officers face consequences for their actions. In the real world people get arrested for committing assault, but when you're in a uniform rules and laws often don't seem to apply. Cops in the south can get fired because their union is not very strong due to all the "right to work" laws their states have enacted. I don't want to know what it would take to fire a NYC cop. Recently, the Sergeants Benevolent Association has asked members to photograph homeless people in order to document the decaying quality of life in the city. "As you travel about the city of New York, please utilize your smartphones to photograph the homeless lying in our streets, aggressive panhandlers, people urinating in public or engaging in open-air drug activity, and quality-of-life offenses of every type,” the email from union president Ed Mullins stated. “Will notify our public officials in writing of what is being observed.” http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/8/why-are-new-york-cops-shaming-homeless-people.html

So, forced oral sex is not rape in Oklahoma as long as the person is unconscious from drinking alcohol http://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/apr/27/oral-sex-****-ruling-tulsa-oklahoma-alcohol-consent Oklahoma court: oral sex is not rape if victim is unconscious from drinking The ruling sparked outrage among critics who argue the judicial system engaged in victim-blaming and upholding outdated notions about rape and sexual assault An Oklahoma court has stunned local prosecutors with a declaration that state law doesn’t criminalize oral sex with a victim who is completely unconscious. The ruling, a unanimous decision by the state’s criminal appeals court, is sparking outrage among critics who say the judicial system was engaged in victim-blaming and buying outdated notions about rape. But legal experts and victims’ advocates said they viewed the ruling as a sign of something larger: the troubling gaps that still exist between the nation’s patchwork of laws and evolving ideas about rape and consent.[/QUOTE] jet sanchEz fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Apr 28, 2016 |

They've also banned abortions  http://www.dailydot.com/politics/oklahoma-house-bill-total-abortion-ban/ Oklahoma House passes bill banning all abortions Late on Thursday, the Oklahoma House of Representatives passed a bill that fully bans abortion in the state. Oklahoma's SB 1552 passed by a 59-9 vote in the heavily Republican legislature. The law is now on the desk of the state's Republican governor, Mary Fallin, who has yet to address whether she plans to sign the legislation into law. If she does, the state could face one of the most intense federal legal battles on the issue. The controversial Oklahoma bill manages to sideline abortion services by revoking the medical licenses of any doctor found performing the procedure for any other reason than in cases of miscarriage or severe physical trauma to the fetus or pregnant woman. Doctors who do perform abortions outside this spectrum may face felony charges. “I’ve heard almost every argument today about judicial challenge to this legislation, and after much prayer and study, I ask myself this question,” Rep. David Brumbaugh (R) said on Thursday, according to TPM. “Do we make laws because they're moral and right, or do we make them based on what an unelected judicial occupant might question or overturn?” “If we take care of morality,” Brumbaugh added, according to Reuters, “God will take care of the economy.”

 Measles: A Dangerous Illness Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn't do anything. "Are you feeling all right?" I asked her. "I feel all sleepy," she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it. It is not yet generally accepted that measles can be a dangerous illness. Believe me, it is. In my opinion parents who now refuse to have their children immunised are putting the lives of those children at risk. In America, where measles immunisation is compulsory, measles like smallpox, has been virtually wiped out. Here in Britain, because so many parents refuse, either out of obstinacy or ignorance or fear, to allow their children to be immunised, we still have a hundred thousand cases of measles every year. Out of those, more than 10,000 will suffer side effects of one kind or another. At least 10,000 will develop ear or chest infections. About 20 will die. LET THAT SINK IN. Every year around 20 children will die in Britain from measles. So what about the risks that your children will run from being immunised? They are almost non-existent. Listen to this. In a district of around 300,000 people, there will be only one child every 250 years who will develop serious side effects from measles immunisation! That is about a million to one chance. I should think there would be more chance of your child choking to death on a chocolate bar than of becoming seriously ill from a measles immunisation. So what on earth are you worrying about? It really is almost a crime to allow your child to go unimmunised. The ideal time to have it done is at 13 months, but it is never too late. All school-children who have not yet had a measles immunisation should beg their parents to arrange for them to have one as soon as possible. Incidentally, I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was 'James and the Giant Peach'. That was when she was still alive. The second was 'The BFG', dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children.
