AikiDale Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 In the TV series 7 Days the hero used the code word to let the people he worked for know he had gone back in time and needed their help to save the world. A conundrum faced by each of us as we watch the news is whether to believe our government officials or to trust our common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Dale that is not a good example. Because it is not difficult. (regarding trusting the govt.) Edited August 16, 2007 by RoyceLowellPatton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Someone give us an example: Due to the actions of various agencies of the Los Angeles City and County Governments, and the efforts of a number of defense attorneys, the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman remain a conundrum, which likely will never be solved...... We all believe something about that situation ---- but it would appear that there was no definitive proof beyond a reasonable doubt, therefore the matter remains open to conjecture.

We all believe something about that situation ---- but it would appear that there was no definitive proof beyond a reasonable doubt, therefore the matter remains open to conjecture. Nik, There is no doubt what happened in that situation. Not to sidetrack this too far: I know what I believe, but I wasn't sitting on the jury, or making decisions about what evidence to present. For that matter, I haven't been to law school ---- but I think the prosecutor's office bungled it badly..... (And from a perspective of covering the reaction to the verdict --- there were people who were convinced he was guilty, as well as people who were convinced he was innocent. I don't know that we'll ever definitively know --- from the standpoint of satisfying the scientific method/peer review....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Big Dave is onto it. Nik, You are being way to serious for this topic or the OJ trial for that matter. If you are serious about the OJ trial it will only make you angry. Elvis being alive or dead is closer to one than if Oj was guilty or not.

But me and my wife were talking last night and she thought I made it up..... I do like to mess with her minnd alot but I was like no this is a real word. So she called a few people all of who never heard of if it... Then I started thinking to my self(a bad thing ) that maybe i did make it up. I guess I should have looked a little harder in the Webster I total looked over it. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
