  1. Sounds like the TWINKY defense, if i recall right that one worked too! LOL Thats an urban legend as well as these "fighting words" being a legal defense to committ batter. Here are excerpts taken from a random sampling of post-trial news stories about the White murders. Note that all of them erroneously report that junk food was claimed as the cause of White's depression rather than as an indicator of his depression: * [White] got off with voluntary manslaughter. The defense had argued that the refined sugar in White's junk food had made him depressed and mentally incapable of premeditated murder. * His defense lawyer argued that White had been clinically depressed and that his judgment was impaired by a steady diet of junk food. That strategy was dubbed by the media "the Twinkie defense." * His attorneys mounted what came to be known as the "Twinkie defense,'' in which he argued that he suffered from diminished capacity because of the excessive amounts of junk food he consumed. * At his trial, White mounted the infamous "Twinkie defense,'' with lawyers arguing that his habit of feasting on junk food had left him with diminished capacity for reason. Lawyers can use just about anything as a defense based upon their interpretation of the law, whether or not the judge buys it is a different story. By the way, "The Fighting Word" doctrine does exist. You can find its legal definition in Black's Law Dictionary.
  2. Dude, I'm married. And my husband is not that stupid ok. But then again, neither am I. If I am gonna talk shyt to any man I better know how to back it or when to shut the heck up. I, my friend, will fight a man if I have to. Although I believe folks should keep their hands to themselves, I am not the turn the other cheek kinda girl. I don't look at things as "oh I'm a girl and you can't do that to me." If you play by those rules, you need to watch your back, because a large majority of the world is dog eat dog. How did you come to the conclusion that I 'obviously' think it is ok for a man to physically intimidate a woman? You are wrong Miss Cleo, so stop trying to read my mind. He did not get physical with her, he got out of his chair. He didn't push her, he didn't slap her, he didn't grab her, he didn't lay a finger on her, so how did he physically intimidate her? She did not respect his boundaries with her verbal barrages and he responded, oh well...
  3. Well, I think Kaysar had every right to get up from the chair. Ivette crossed the line. What was he supposed to do, sit there and take her repeated verbal abuse? He got up, so what, she shut up, about time! Shoots, he should have gotten up sooner. I never thought he was gonna hit her. If Eric can get away with jumping up from his chair and charging after a guy and say he wasn't gonna hit him, then I can stick to my guns with believing Kaysar wasn't gonna knock the beejeebus out of Ivette...
  4. That's ridiculous. Some people, even non-violent men can be provoked by a woman into hitting them. If they curse their mothers, talk about their race, religion etc. Ivette's ignorant ass insulted an entire religion when she said that all muslim men hated women. Those are fighting words, man or woman. If he were going to hit her, he would have. He just stood up and looked at her like how dare you say such things. Thats a crock as well. Nothing any woman can say will make me hit her. She coud insult me, my religion, my kids, or my mom and I would never hit a woman. Not a chance. Let her tell you that your five kids aren't yours and that while you were deployed to Iraq for a year she slept with 10 of your buddies and a couple of their wives. Oh yeah, that she gave you an incurable STD that will cause your private parts to rot and fall off...<Just kidding> But there are some instances where a man would hit a woman, I know if a woman repeatedly hits a man she should be fair game. I personally think folks should keep their hands to themselves.
  5. What an approriate moniker, especially the 'fool' part... :roll: I guess you have proven my point, the people that use that hateful word indiscriminately are either stupid, ignorant or racist, take your pick.
  6. Wow, this is amazing! The N word is offensive and derogatory, whether you want to admit it or not. People that use it indiscriminately are either ignorant, stupid or racist. It isn't derived from Nigeria. so whoever told you that was wrong. And slaves weren't naively called this ugly, hateful word. If you just don't get it, then really do some research on the word and you would understand it's true meaning and not what someone just happen to tell you.
