That is an odd statement. The land is jointly owned by 319 million Americans.

Here is another interesting spin on the story...
Seems the Paiute Indians have a prior claim that predates any white "European-American" ranchers.

If I was King, I would surround the place and wait them out. They will run out of food eventually. I would give them "10 free days" then on the 11th day I would retroactively charge them the cost of keeping them contained and isolated. I would make sure the final tab haunted each of them till they e...

I have a suggestion for a Topic category. I think their should be one concerning movies. Maybe it's somewhat off topic from what the mission of the board is, but their is also a music category and I don't see how a music category would be any different. would you aim be to discuss technical aspects...

Heard him interviewed on the radio a couple of weeks ago. When asked if he had any regrets about his actions in boosting the price of the drug, he replied that his only regret was that he didn't raise it even higher. He said he had a duty to the shareholders to maximize the Company's profits. I rea...

Sort of a sidebar but I have done a little two bit research on the drug that has gotten him all the bad publicity, Pyrimethamine. Seems it was original and still is used for malaria. In India there are several generic versions available for 4-10 cents American. There are no patents remaining but sin...

With any luck at all the courts will be too busy this time of year to schedule a bail hearing and he gets spend Christmas playing Santa's Little Elf to his cellmate Big Walt :eek I'm no lawyer but bail is usually determined at arraignment. So your wish won't come true. They need to arraign him with...

Fewer cops has resulted in less crime. Sorry to pull out facts on you. I'm sure you enjoy going with your gut, personal beliefs, and emotion on these things, but studying the issue is much more accurate. Your the one going with your gut since the story you linked in NO WAY suggests or implies "Fewe...

That is completely untrue. I just don't know if you believe it or your just lying.

44 seconds: an armed suspect in a series of breaking and entering is running toward a cop car approximately 80-85 feet away. He is in the middle of a fairly busy 4 lane road in Chicago. 50 seconds: suspect slows to a walk and pulls his knife out of his pocket. He is now about 22 feet from first cop ...

And no, he is not "closing the gap." I don't know what video you saw. He was walking farther away and got into a farther lane than the police were in. The only people "closing the gap" were the cops who shot and killed him for doing nothing to them. I watched the same video you did. I also went to ...

So carrying a knife and walking away from a cop is grounds for murdering someone? You are stretching the truth to fit your agenda. As I pointed out earlier he was not walking away he was closing the gap, at an angle, but closing it none the less. and he wasn't just carrying a knife, he pulled it ou...

Sorry craig. I guess we don’t see eye to eye with the first sentence of my post. However, I think we’re on the same page with the rest of it. Even though our opinions are not the same, I’ll respect your point of view and leave it at that. May you and your family have a happy holiday... and I’m not ...

Cop rolls up. Black guy walks away from cop. Six seconds later black guy has 16 bullets in him. Your middle sentence is not remotely accurate. The distance between him and the cops was getting smaller not larger. As I stated earlier he was not walking directly at them but was walking in their gener...

Should the 17 year old have been shot for his actions... absolutely. I had 3 cops at my house yesterday for Thanksgiving. This case was not discussed. I only mention it for some context to my post. A cop only uses deadly force when they feel either their life or the life of some innocent party is i...
