"They are broken people who lured in broken people. I think the Jon's who paid for these kids are the sickest of this story. " In a extremely high percent of cases like this your statement is true to a fault. I worked in an environment in the 70's where I was in contact with the "dregs of society" and knew quite a few prostitutes, pimps and Johns; most of which were into drugs very deeply. A high percent of the girls were either kidnaped at a young age (14-15) strung out on heroin and forced into being a hooker. They were victims of many crimes and had their lives destroyed. Granted, there are some girls that choose this lifestyle on their own, but very seldom. When you get beat up as a child and forced into this lifestyle, you feel there is no hope and no way out. I believe that all pimps need to be castrated and have their hands cut off, then let the girls have some payback on them! And tthe sick pigs that pick up these hookers are enabling and abetting the pimps so they deserve the same!
Ok, all kidding aside, I am just tickled by your avitar. Calvin and Hobbes ROCK!
You may have something there. Who knows what all kinds of chemicals or even poisons got washed out to sea? Maybe they can draw some blood and check for toxins. Hope the turtle will make it.
"Lots of things have exploded." Human population has exploded, fireworks in a big container exploded in BELFAIR Wash, "territubbie" exploded when I said "sorry bout your luck, we will make sure your house will be the one we are in front of." in response to " Thank you whoever did this. Maybe there will be less noise in Vancouver this 4th." (guess they did not like the humor) my wife exploded when I fell asleep when I was barbequeing chicken today!
That was a giant tortoise, named Lonesome George that has been captive since 1972. This guy washed up here in Oregon about a week ago.
You know, I hear so many people complain about Oregon for many reasons; can you imagine living in a place that has hurricanes every year, 100 degree temps, earthquakes or any of a dozen crazy things going on? Thank God for Oregon!
"I have a monkey on my back" "Thats no monkey, Jim, it's a turtle! You were moving too slow and he overtook you!"
this coin toss crap should not even be a option. The whole idea behind the trials is to see who is the best bet to represent the US at the Olympics. What the hell does a coin toss prove? That the ref has enough coordination to throw a quarter in the air? Let them do what they do best, run a race!
