    I'm rather scared to post in this topic...I might get accused for something anger related...

    On a topic-relevant note, fantastic news! I still can't get over how the judicial system in this country STILL manages to twist the fundamental basis "innocent until proven guilty", and without a doubt guilty. These idiots in Arkansas are messing with peoples lives. What has happened to this country, where people have no shame about doing this kind of stuff?

    I know, it's scary to think that you could be found guilty of something based on so little credible evidence. I guess it comes down to ignorance and stubornness.

    Very true. Nobody can give those boys back there lives. And no one can justify why it took so fucking long other than southern stubborness and stupidity.
    And everyone knows injustices such as this along with stubborness and stupidity only exist in the south

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    It's not just your country, it happens up here in Canada too and all around the world. I do agree that it does seem to happen more in the south, but I think that has more to do with stereotypes than geography. There are ignorant stubborn assholes everywhere. These kind of people rarely like to admit they made an error in judgement. And it seems like the bigger the error, the more obtuse people are to admitting their mistake. But it would be nice to think that people who are in positions of authority, whose actions directly affect somebody's life, would be willing to admit they fucked up. Everyone makes mistakes, even judges and lawyers and cops. "Sorry boys, we took your lives away from you, and really wanted to kill one of ya too, but I guess we was wrong. No hard feelings right?"

    Oh and it's ok to get a little angry as long as you don't let it affect innocent bystanders. Anger, like it or not plays a part in everybody's life, and emotions period sometimes make you lose sight of what the point you were trying to make in the first place was. I think the key to dealing with anger is to vent, like maybe here in this forum. You may offend some, but lot's of passionate people will understand, that sometimes you're just mad as hell and you're not going to take it anymore!

    Anger is a gift.

    A thousand pardons then....should have kept going.
    I'm just one of those people who tire of hearing the same old thing about the south

    Totally understood, and I agree with you. Some of the most decent good hearted people I have ever met come from the south. Like I said geography has ZERO to do with it.
