====================================
Yes,
I love TV forensics..
TRUTH be told, LESS than 10% of crime is solved in the USA.
And Blue collar is easier to solve then WHITE collar. And White collar tends to steal millions and the blue collar steals from 7/11.
And Tv forensics has EVERY BODIES Finger prints. When you can only collect them IF you are arrested, and processed.
I love that they can TRACK almost anyone with GPS. BE SMART and shut your cellphone OFF and remove the battery.
I love that they find MOST people at HOME or work. AS IF’ no one worked or that CSI works after hours.
I like the idea that a CSI is considered a POLICE OFFICER..NOT. These are only scientists in a LAB, generally NOT in your city and over 100 miles away. They process the site and bring data together and HAND it to the officer in-charge of the case. THATS ALL. If they spend MORE then a day on evidence there is something WRONG.
one more thing. IF you ever find away to take a finger print off ANY material/surface, I KNOW A LARGE GROUP that will pay you TONS of money.
Good gawd guys.. look at your arms. Time to lay off the donuts!
nice Shirt please
nice penis
sell the Shirt please
I’ve only watched these CSI shows a couple of times and there has been one burning question on my mind…
Why dosen’t someone turn on the freaking lights?
“We are in Iraq because we don’t want $200.00 a barrel oil dufus! Obama is supporting oil drilling in Brazil! He just wants to cut out all domestic production!”
So,
we went to Iraq, BEFORE oil price went up.
WE killed a ruler that had 90% of the problems controlled with terror.
Bush made promises that the WAR would be paid by Iraq OIL. WHICH is what led to the OVER PRICING.
NOW we are stuck in a war. WE even made a PERMANENT BUNKER. WE(yes we) havent decided on a NEW ruler, as no one wants the JOB while we are there. IF we leave there will be ALL out civil war between at LEAST 6 factions, which will tear the country apart and make it RIPE for outside take over by ANYONE, including Bin Laden. WHY, because we want OIL and another location in the middle East that we CONTROL. Israel and Turkey are Fickle friends.
“Opium is a product who production is driven by market demand. So is pot. The pot grown for sale is highly selected ”
Opium farmers are paid DIRT for their crops, but it more then regular crops bring in. Its the DEALERS that are lowering prices. Only a few reasons for that. The Major one is that Many people QUIT drugs when they cant afford them. Its a MAJOR indicator of whats happening or soon to happen.
POT?? you are stupid. we have gone past what could be done with BASIC horticulture and increasing the potency of MJ. The REAL strong stuff is CUT with other agents to give it its KICK. Customers get used to the SPECIAL stuff and dont understand what real POT does, and it has Little affect on them anymore.
#8 We went to Iraq the last time because the CIA was brain dead and thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction even though the we didn’t have a single agent in the country.
We are stuck there now not just because of the oil in Iraq but because of the oil in the rest of the region. If Iran takes Iraq they have a lot of power and the option to try to expand further.
You lost me on the over pricing of oil and the war in Iraq. The price run up seems to have been a combination of rising demand and speculators. The fall came as a result of falling demand. The speculators got caught holding oil and lost a bundle but we bailed a lot of them out.
I’m sure some people are adding extra zing but…I haven’t tried hashish but I understand it’s pretty potent in its own right. Pot plants have indeed been bred to be a lot more portent than hemp for fiber plants or ditch weed.
Bush said that the Oil from Iraq would pay for the war. only way to do that was to have Gas price INFLATE. The oil companies took it even further, as they did in 1971 with a fake oil crisis, WHICH ended with the Saud raising prices AFTER the fake one.
I used to have a link to the Actual Price of a barrel of oil. but its been wiped off the net. ALL I can find is the Stock market prices. AND I have said BEFORE, that LARGE corps should NOT be in the stock market. I see no reason for it. Do they REALLy need more money? After the MAX TAX of $0.70 in 2-3 states, At about $1 per gallon, the RESt is PURE PROFIT.
Not so pure. Below some price the Tar sands in Canada which supply much of our fuel aren’t worth mining and converting to fuel to sell to the U.S.
I think the figure used to be $50.00 a barrel. I’m not sure what it is now.
They just made a major find, they think, south of the U.S. but its in open ocean and 7 miles down. Drilling for it won’t be cheap.
I would add that many countries with major deposits of oil such as Saudra Arabia nationalize them. In those cases the multinationals are reduced to buyers, transporters and refiners.
We, the U.S. government, along with many others are supplying billions to help drill for oil near the mouth of the Amazon. I think the company we are helping belongs to the government of Brazil.
Other than not bailing out failed speculators I’m not sure how you can stop them. Many/most? aren’t Americans.
7 miles?? there’s a trench that deep NEAR the USA?? Even at 3 miles down, I wouldnt even try.
The pressures involved would collapse the WHOLE THING. Can you say Champagne CORK. Pop a hole in that, and the weight of the water on top would BLOW the oil out FAST and the chamber would fall in..I can see the wave NOW…SURF UP..
Dvorak gets another “exclusive report” – CSI’s effect on juries – ripped from headlines of 09-Feb-2003:
Hempel, Carlene. “TV’s Whodunit Effect.” The Boston Globe Magazine. 9 February 2003.
CSI TV’s Whodunit Effect. Police dramas are having an unexpected impact in the real world: The public thinks every crime can be solved, and solved now – just like on television.
