The thing is, the only ones who threw in a scorned ex were Will himself and his lawyer. Without any corroborating reports, their claims should have been suspect. Instead, people were willing to believe in the phantom ex because it fit into a comfortable narrative and didn't require them to...
It is truly amazing how the tone of this conversation has changed. I remember when this story first broke and I was called an idiot and a 'feminazi' for daring to suggest the allegations had merit. Surely it was some bitchy ex and Will din do nuffin.
Has anyone here read American Spartan? The excerpts I've read have been just ridiculous, and I'm wondering if the rest follows suit. Had to roll my eyes when it maligns the vz 58 because it's a "plastic gun".....
I'm with you on this. It's seems they've just written out how most mental math is performed. I've heard lots of complaints about common core that seem to be legitimate, but this doesn't seem like a real problem.
Hmm I wonder if this is selective breeding or the dreaded gmo. Either way, it's only right that the South should have the tastiest fruit. I look forward to having kiwi jelly on my biscuits.
I'm going to have to second the good deals sentiment. I once ran into a guy selling an imbel receiver fal for $400 so he could buy new golf clubs. It's definitely for people who enjoy the hunt though. If you want, say, a new in box Sig, it's probably best just to watch the sale pages.
I said nothing about Will Hayden. I was merely questioning your misplaced faith in our justice system. The stats I was quoting were for the entire country, not just Louisiana. Even at 1% that's over 20,000 people.
You're going to have to source that because the lowest estimate I found was 3% which makes thousands upon thousands of wrongfully convicted individuals. And of course no one guilty ever goes free. I wish I could join you in unicorn land, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay here in reality.
If you're going to make before/after statements, then yeah, you need a decent sample of both the before and the after. I suppose I can't argue with the what you've seen assuming that you're both honest and competent, which I have no way to assess on the internet, but I've seen what I've seen...
I supposed it's possible. All of my experience is with their aks so I don't have much first-hand knowledge in that area, but it seems like a lot of hyperbole.
I'm so tired of hearing this and I think the only reason so many people repeat it is that it seems obvious: of course everything was better before the show. But I've seen old RJF builds and very many new ones and I can say unequivocally that much better talent has come in since the show began...
Alright, I think maybe it's time to back away from this thread.
All sympathy to the victims. Abuse is horrible and I hope justice will be served.
In the meantime, I also wish safety for my friends at the shop, who continue to receive death threats for what I suppose is the crime of knowing...
