    Evidently the woman's own lawyer felt she had made one. If he thought she had not, he would not have advised a guilty plea. You seem to forget that the woman plead guilty - i.e. she admitted to committing whatever the hell she was charged with.

    What foolish "reasoning." *Anyone* who knows *anything* about the current workings of the "justice" system knows what a crock this "reasoning" is.

      Well, I don't know anything about it. What's wrong with it?

        ... for, after all, what mere mortal could come up with such an amusing type?

          Just that??!! You did notice that the link you pointed to says that she had not even met the people when she wrote that letter? She obviously wrote it just because they were black... it wouldn't have mattered _who_ was living there. Now, if that isn't racism, I don't know what is. That is what she should have been tried and indicted and jailed for...

              Unfortunately, yes... that is why I said "should have been...". However, there can be no agruments that racism can /will / does _lead_ to crimes; consider this as prevention then :)

                Sure, racism can lead to crimes. But so can strawberry ice-cream and Hello Kitty. As much as I may personally find racism reprehensible, I don't think it should be illegal (within the boundaries of this discussion).

                  I PLEAD GUILTY to typing this message, and in this message I said NIGGER. Do I get jail time now?

                  Yes, you called me a nigger. I find that quite interesting, since you called me a nazi the day before that. So, what is it? Am I a nigger, nazi, or both? You're such a dumb, dumb, dumb person. You're the kind of person that could very well end up on Leno's Jay Walking. Dumbass.

                    Not necessarily. I believe many people are stupid - the color of their skin has nothing to do with my opinion. Take Cataclysmic Shithead for instance. He'd be a dumbass, no matter what skin color. I think Rob was saying the same thing.

                      I attest that very same thing: Me: God you're an idiot. Another boy: Hey, stop bein' racist! Me: Phhh! You're not an idiot because you're black, you're an idiot because you refuse to bow down and worship me as your god - a very foolish mistake, I must say! OK, that last bit of dialogue may not have happened, but you get the idea. ;P But still, whether or not he meant that, he still said it racistly.

                        Is the Department of Justice guilty of a crime then? Look at these horrible racist statistics they publish: In 2005, offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites[^]. They are just spreading hate and ignorance! They must be a bunch of inbred neo-nazi trailer trash rednecks!

                            If you think someone could be a nigger and nazi at the same time then you just described yourself.
