First:
]]> Political Discussion snowjeeper http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30602-conservitards.html Interesting immigration legal issue http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30592-interesting-immigration-legal-issue.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:17:05 GMT So my current GF calls me the other night with this. Her 19 y/o daughter is dating a guy from Mexico here on a legit work visa. The kid gets busted... So my current GF calls me the other night with this. Her 19 y/o daughter is dating a guy from Mexico here on a legit work visa. The kid gets busted for DWI and taken to jail and they set his bail at 7k (700 cash) So my girls daughter takes the cash down to bail him out.

After about an hour the deputy come back and says they are not going to release him because they are revoking his visa and shipping him back to Mexico. That's all well and good, here's the part that gets me. They also inform her daughter that she is just out the 700?? WTF kind of scam is this? Is this even legal? Shouldn't he be released pending an immigration hearing anyway? The standard bail for 1st DWI here is 250, and the kid has no record....700???

If there is some loophole that allows the court to keep this bail money, I think it's totally fucked that they would use it to rip off a young girl like this. I've been bailed out, and bailed people out and I just don't see how this can happen? I've seen it where additional charges have been filed and the bail goes up, or been told the person has to see a judge in the morning. This is just way out there, I guess the local gov't is getting pretty hard up for cash. :dunno: ]]> Political Discussion JeffreyCH http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30592-interesting-immigration-legal-issue.html ewwwhhkk http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30587-ewwwhhkk.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:56:56 GMT Doctor found dead, lodged in boyfriend's chimney, police say - CNN.com

Here's the thing: I've noticed (or I think I have-- my sample size is pretty small) that people who are religious and people who are global warming denialists and people who are into "alternative medicines" and people who are into psychics and astrology tend to be the same people. It's obviously nowhere near a 100% correlation, but I'm pretty sure it's higher than a random distribution. Am I imagining it? Am I overly sensitized?

No need to limit it to the subjects I've listed either. There's Obama-as-muslim, Obama-as-foreigner, Moon-landing-was-faked, Holocaust-was-faked, global-shadow-conspiracy, flouride-as-communist-plot, etc etc etc. Is there a particular mindset that draws people to this stuff? ]]> Political Discussion Donutz http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30491-religosity-part-larger-problem.html hypocrites are fantastic http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30471-hypocrites-fantastic.html Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:51:16 GMT 44 - Former RNC chairman Ken Mehlman: I'm gay ]]> Political Discussion snowjeeper http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30471-hypocrites-fantastic.html Political correctness and race. http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30463-political-correctness-race.html Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:32:52 GMT I don't know about most of you, but i believe this whole political correctness is a bunch of B*ll Sh*t, especially in the areas of race. Lets start with the term African American. Are we assuming all black skinned humans are from Africa? Is all people in Africa black?What about aborigines? Are they not dark skinned? What about white folks? Why can they not be referred to European Americans? We don't call Asians, Asian Americans do we? No. It seems this system of labeling people as gotten out of hand and is severely flawed. Nothing is perfect by all means but come on. Most Americans are to stupid to care or know the difference anyways but i just thought i would say my piece on how stupid political correctness has become in this pussified state of America, afraid to hurt anyones feelings. ]]> Political Discussion ATOTony76 http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30463-political-correctness-race.html corporatacracy http://www.snowboardingforum.com/political-discussion/30423-corporatacracy.html Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:49:32 GMT YouTube - Obama warns Americans of covert sponsored manipulation of peoples opinion...

Is This Your Brain On God?


Brain Interactive

More than half of adult Americans report they have had a spiritual experience that changed their lives. Now, scientists from universities like Harvard, Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins are using new technologies to analyze the brains of people who claim they have touched the spiritual — from Christians who speak in tongues to Buddhist monks to people who claim to have had near-death experiences. Hear what they have discovered in this controversial field, as the science of spirituality continues to evolve.
