Patently and entirely untrue. Self-defense law does not work that way. You are only permitted to use lethal force in response to lethal force. Somebody taking a swing at somebody else (for being a loony douche) does not justify the discharge of a firearm.


I see what you are saying, however is "deadly force" a subjective term? Im pretty sure there have been instances of people being killed by a few punches to the head. Im not coming down on either side of this case, just a curiosity question on my part here.

I cant seem to find the original article that I read about this, but this is pretty close to explaining it:

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/05 ... g-shot/?mod=WSJBlogprint/

"is using the proceeds from an hour-long online fund-raiser this afternoon to bet it all on Cowboy Cal in tomorrow?s Kentucky Derby."

So people knew what they were donating for and there was no question about that.

And when you move out of your house and familiar surrounds to a new area exploring it does feel a lot like vacation. Checking out restaurants, parks, sites, getting a feel for the people and what the area offers - what do you on vacation?
Also, I really don't know what the definition of yuppie is but if coming from a blue collar family, working hard and saving your ass off to buy a home in a nice neighborhood qualifies me than I am guilty as charged.
I def understand some of the issues raised but formulating an opinion on someone based on next to nothing just sucks. To all those that posted positive messages and have an open mind to new residents I look forward to seeing you around.


Welcome, and ignore the cranky jerks. :)

You would actually donate money to this guy?

From the Daily Record
http://www.northjersey.com/politics/S ... paign_cash_on_Derby_.html

Senate candidate from N.J. bet campaign cash on Derby
Sunday, May 3 2998

U.S. Senate hopeful Murray Sabrin burned through $1,050 of his campaign cash Saturday on a Kentucky Derby long-shot.

Sabrin, a Ramapo College professor, announced the bet during a press conference Friday in Atlantic City. Sabrin?s wager, which is apparently legal under federal elections laws, aimed to highlight his promise to legalize sports betting at casinos.


Sabrin himself is a long shot to win the Republican nomination for the Senate in the June primary. He is running a distant third, according to a recent poll. "Cowboy Cal may have finished in ninth, but Murray Sabrin will finish first on June 3," said George Ajjan, a spokesman for Sabrin.

Ajjan said that he heard odds on the horse had reached 41-to-1 when Sabrin placed his bet at Monmouth Park. At those odds, a win by Cowboy Cal would have raised more than $40,000 for the campaign.


Well, considering that he did it as a way to show his support for legalizing sports betting, AND the fact that the only money wagered was specifically from donors who where told that their donations during a certain date/time would be used for that purpose...yeah, it shows some creativity, and there was complete transparency around what money was used.

Well, I dont recall reading much by a poster named heights, and if I have read things I certainly didnt pay enough attention to what they had to say...for the most part I dont pay much attention to names on this message board, and just because you can prove that someone else is acting poorly does not make it ok for you to do so. Being able to ignore things like that and take the high road is much more appealing to me...someone who can do that is the type of person I want living in my community, regardless of their income.

You are entitled to your opinion, however you are morally and socially lacking for "bashing" someone based solely on their economic status. The dollar figure on someones pay check should have absolutely nothing to do with why you "bash" them...if someone practices illegal activities or shows incredibly poor morals...fine, bash them, but what you are doing is nothing more than ignorant.

There are huge differences between Hoboken and Jersey City. The anti "yuppie" sentiment is no different than if someone came here and said they hated all of the low-income people that live in their city. It is classist and discriminatory, with the only intent of making someone feel bad for something that is out of their control. Simply put it is unacceptable.

Republican Candidate for US Senate tells John McCain: "Enough War Talk" in new press release


As the likely Republican U.S. Senate nominee in New Jersey I needed to send a clear message to Senator John McCain before it is too late: he needs to stop trying to convince the American people he is right on our involvement in Iraq's Civil War. 75% of New Jersey voters want to bring our troops home and a recent poll has Senator McCain losing to Senator Barack Obama by 24% in New Jersey. This could be the worst political landslide since Ronald Reagan defeated Walter Mondale in 1984 (but in reverse). Below is my open message to Senator McCain and the video can be viewed directly by going to my website www.MurraySabrin.com

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2wxDeXHEZI


In Liberty,
Murray

P.S. Part of my responsibility when I become the Republican Senate nominee will be to protect the rest of the Republican candidates running in New Jersey from the "Obama Tsunami" in November - I take that responsibility seriously.

Instead, Paul favors Sen. Barack Obama because of positions on foreign policy. ?But that?s doesn?t mean that?s an endorsement,? Paul quickly added.


Wow, talk about selective editing on the author's part. Paul pretty much said that all of the candidates were wrong on the war, here are some of the actual quotes from Paul in that interview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBnkIBEukNo

-"Even Obama has voted to support the war and the spending"

-"They continue to spend on war and welfare like there is no economic problem...congress appropriates more money and the fed just prints more money"

-At least McCain is honest...I think the democrats are playing on the sympathies..."

-Wolf Blitzer: If you had to pick one of the three right now, who would it be?
Ron Paul: Well I see them as all about the same...probably Obama, but he would spend the money somewhere else and his voting record isnt all that great.

Anyone who listened to that interview and for even 1/2 a second thought Paul agrees with Obama is WAY off.

Im glad you called me a "fringer" as corny as you sound by saying it, and as negative as you try to make it sound, its pretty hard to not find a fringe candidate attractive when you look at the other three "same old song" candidates we are stuck with.

But really, how exactly is doing a shot vs. bowling to pander for votes any different? Yeah...its not.

Anonymous ignores the Iraq war threads about lies that resulted in 4,000 dead and 10,000 wounded (and counting) but flies into a rage over a concert ticket giveaway. You Republicans are really something. (Something phony.)


I've made my feelings clear about Iraq and the impact to our armed forces PLENTY of times before....one of the reasons I support Ron Paul is because of the complete mess the current Republican administration made of the war, and the fact that we should never even have been there.

I liked it better when you just posted 47 Obama news stories a day (that nobody reads) about how perfect he is instead of having you call me names for no reason other than I've decided to point out one of the many flaws of our political system and how some people who claim to be "for change" are pretty easily bribed.

Ticket giveaway steals Bill Clinton's thunder
By Bill Ruthhart
Posted: April 3, 2008Read Comments(62)Recommend (2)E-mail Print Share Del.icio.us Digg Reddit Yahoo Google AP BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- It was an unexpected showdown of surrogates for Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton here Wednesday, and it sure looked like Obama's representative whipped up the most excitement.

As former President Bill Clinton was extolling his wife's credentials, Obama's campaign office in Bloomington began giving away tickets to Sunday's Dave Matthews concert at Assembly Hall.


Jason Schechtman, 19, Deerfield, Ill., a student at IU, got his tickets about 8 p.m. after waiting more than three hours. He met folks in line who said they'd left the Clinton rally to wait for tickets.

"I was leaning toward Obama, but this sealed the deal for sure," he said.
"The Obama campaign announced this right as (Bill Clinton) was about to speak, and it brought everyone from over there to over here."

Still, Clinton persevered. He told Indiana University students they should choose his wife for president not because she's a historic candidate but because the country's future is better off in her hands.

His visit to Bloomington capped off Clinton's third campaign trip to Indiana, where he has made 12 appearances in 11 cities.

On Wednesday, the former president also visited Columbus, Seymour and Bedford.

At IU, he taught a little history to the 6,000 students at Assembly Hall.

Clinton drew a comparison between the race between Sens. Clinton and Obama and the 1968 Democratic primary contest between Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy:

"Most of the blue-collar folks that knew they needed a president were for (Kennedy), and most of the university students who wanted a feeling for change were for McCarthy, and they thought he had a purer position on the Vietnam War."

Student Rebecca Waxman, a 21-year-old from St. Louis, said, "There are Obama signs all over campus, but the fact that Hillary's husband and daughter are coming out here makes it clear that they're trying to convince Bloomington."


Glad to see that our freedom and economic future are being decided by free f'ing g*@d damn tickets to a concert.

Well BOO! Now go crawl under the featherbed where you keep your money.

Sweden and Denmark and other horrible examples of high taxation also happen to have better quality of life for all their people than here in the USA, longer life expectancy, virtually zero poverty, low unemployment, universal health care, higher birth survival rates for both mother and child, work fewer hours per week, get more vacation time, cleaner safer streets, better highways and healthier environments.

What they don't have are corporations that make their money here but move their "offices" to a brass plate in the Bahamas so they can avoid taxes, top ten corporations that default on their employee pensions and top one percent of their richest getting trillions of dollars of tax breaks.

OK, now is the moment when the responses start to come in:

A) well if you think it's so great, why don't you move there?

B) you're a commie

C) lies, all lies, dammit!

Watch out, a socialist is gonna get your Granny.

Socialism is NOT a dirty word. Saying it is evil without knowing what it does and how is does it is dishonest.

The real evil is corporate welfare, corporate greed and these Gorden Gecko clones.


Such an angry and defensive posture for someone with such happy go lucky views on the world.

I just dont see how you think you can take the economic, social, and/or philosophical ideals of countries that are so completely different from where we live.

Both Sweden and Denmark have VERY small populations compared to the US, not to mention they have completely different environmental/geographic situations when it comes to natural resources, climate, imports and exports, natural disasters (or lack of). They also have huge differences in the size of government, military, and any program you can name that is used as a service to its citizens. I completely agree that there are tons of other places to live that have different things that are better than what we have...but they also have things that are worse. Im sure that the majority of Americans couldnt find a job in either of those two countries that is similar to what they do here. Trying to apply their way of governing to the US would be like telling Walmart that they had to operate at the same capacity as your local non-franchised convenience store...you just cant force that model everywhere and have success or you would see every country doing it regardless of their own special situations.

Ive also heard plenty of complaints about universal health in other countries where it can take days, even weeks to get to see the doctor barring an ER visit.

Additionally, things like "healthier environments" are as much a product of your neighbor and their policies as they are of your own...Denmark actually has some issues with their water supply being very polluted, nobody is free from the environmental mess of having 6 Billion people packed on this planet.

Not sure about the "work fewer hours" thing either. Not that I want to work 100 hour weeks, but I like to know that if I decided to work harder/longer than someone else, there are financial rewards that can be had.

Well its not just Obama...Hillary has pushed to have companies like Exxon pay higher taxes just because they make a ton of money. What she fails to realize is that Exxon is a HUGE stock holding in many 401k and pension plans...so making them less profitable has an impact on the many millions of every day folks who are relying on companies like them to show financial strength to result in a comfortable retirement.

I dont feel like looking for it now, but I know I have also seen news stories in the past that claimed there were pushes to let the UN start taxing US citizens to pay for some of their initiatives to be funded.

So all in all, this push towards a nanny state for the US is also going to spread globally. Even the partnering you see with the Federal Reserve and other foreign Banking authorities is a step in that direction. Im kind of offended at the idea that the US and World governments think that I am not capable of supporting myself and making my own decisions without them telling me whats best for me.

NewHeights mentioned welfare.

I'm no economist when it comes to these matters, but my understanding is that Social Security is in trouble because of the way it's structured, and that structure could be changed and fixed. $53 Billion is not as much as it sounds like, especially when you look at the $12 billion/month pricetag on the Iraq war.

If "share the cost/risk" doesn't work at all, why even have private insurance?


Oh ok, thought you were replying directly to me on that one.

I still dont see any way that universal healthcare is different from Social Security and Medicare in the vast debt and expense it will cause when we already have enough of both to last for a LONG time.

Universal healthcare is not even really comparable to welfare. It's a totally different concept. Welfare is a safety net while universal healthcare is a national sharing of risk and benefit.
