Utah entertaining us with stupid

[aitm]

meh, its a fucking rock.

So who draws the line between "protected rock formation" and "fucking rock"?  It wasn't his decision or yours to make.

[aitm]

and why this is all Obama's fault.

Is it really just about a rolling stone? [youtube:2weehmjd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGaBlygm0UY[/youtube:2weehmjd] This is more than just the fact that it was just a stone, it's about grown men acting like children and breaking the law that are suppose to be roll models to children. "Let's do some graffiti on the stones kids, their only stones!" or "It's OK to leave your garbage here, it's only a bunch of stones." :roll: Solitary

You should see the outrage when someone claims that aitm's dog is just a fucking bag of meat and decided to push it down a cliff.

The argument would be very different, even though more people care about protecting an ancient rock formation than some guys' dog. But I guess whether or not something is worth making a fuss over is determined by what some specific guy on a forum has some kind of connection to, or something like that  :roll:

Huh!  :-?   I'd like to know how many would be outrage over him being pushed over a cliff. :shock:    Solitary

[Plu]

Probably less people than are outraged over the breaking of an ancient rock formation. But remember, it's not how many people are outraged or cared about a thing, it's about whether a specific person believes the thing destroyed holds value.

[aitm]

exactly!

[Solitary]

This was my point.

SmOff I think we should make this the law again because this is what I would want to do and that makes it right:

§59 - If a man cut down a tree in a man's orchard, without the consent of the owner of the orchard, he shall pay one-half mina of silver.

§55 - If a man open his canal for irrigation and neglect it and the water carry away an adjacent field, he shall measure out grain on the basis of the adjacent fields.

§168 - If a man set his face to disinherit his son and say to the judges: "I will disinherit my son," the judges shall inquire into his antecedents, and if the son have not committed a crime sufficiently grave to cut him off from sonship, the father may not cut off his son from sonship.

§169 - If he have committed a crime against his father sufficiently grave to cut him off from sonship, they shall condone his first (offense). If he commit a crime a second time, the father may cut off his son from sonship.

§8 - If any one steal cattle or sheep, or an ass, or a pig or a goat, if it belong to a god or to the court, the thief shall pay thirtyfold therefor; if they belonged to a freed man of the king he shall pay tenfold; if the thief has nothing with which to pay he shall be put to death.

§196-201 - If a man destroy the eye of another man, they shall destroy his eye. If one break a man's bone, they shall break his bone. If one destroy the eye of a freeman or break the bone of a freeman he shall pay one mana of silver. If one destroy the eye of a man's slave or break a bone of a man's slave he shall pay one-half his price. If a man knock out a tooth of a man of his own rank, they shall knock out his tooth. If one knock out a tooth of a freeman, he shall pay one-third mana of silver.

§218-219 - If a physician operate on a man for a severe wound with a bronze lancet and cause that man's death; or open an abscess (in the eye) of a man with a bronze lancet and destroy the man's eye, they shall cut off his fingers. If a physician operate on a slave of a freeman for a severe wound with a bronze lancet and cause his death, he shall restore a slave of equal value.

§229-232 - If a builder build a house for a man and do not make its construction firm, and the house which he has built collapse and cause the death of the owner of the house, that builder shall be put to death. If it cause the death of a son of the owner of the house, they shall put to death a son of that builder. If it cause the death of a slave of the owner of the house, he shall give the owner of the house a slave of equal value. If it destroy property, he shall restore whatever it destroyed, and because he did not make the house which he built firm and it collapsed, he shall rebuild the house which collapsed from his own property (i.e., at his own expense).

§21 - If a man make a breach in a house, they shall put him to death in front of that breach and they shall thrust him therein.

§195 - If a son strike his father, they shall cut off his fingers.

Just think of the money this would save by not needing prisons, and how it would protect society.

SmOn    I value nature and don't like it destroyed because I enjoy the beauty of it in it's natural setting. It was more than just because it was a rock toppled over, it was the attitude of the kind of people that get a kick out of destroying things they don't value and think it's OK teach children to have the same attitude that it's OK just because it is just a rock formation or anything else they don't value like the life of animals or humans in many cases because it is so easy to do. It takes intelligence to be creative, but even a dumb rock can kill by falling over. Do we really want to teach kids to be as dumb as a rock and destroy instead of being creative and intelligent?

He! He!     I remember a time in California when the people were all upset about a Sea Otter being in captivity and finally protested enough to have him freed. They had a big celebration with even a band playing when they let the Sea Otter back in the ocean laying on his back eating a clam they gave him----------When all of a sudden an Orca came up and swallowed him. End of celebration!    :-k   Solitary
