Good thread, whether one passes time in the legal system, in prison, or "on the street", one learns to not listen first to the actual words people say, but rather to read the intent, behind those words. In that context, most questions from adults are most often concealed or subtle attacks, even though the questioner likes to hide a hostile intent, behind a pretense of false naivety. Read Intent, first and foremost. :PINIT2: Last Edited by ehecatl on 02/12/2013 12:35 PM |

Example sentence: We must do this for our children! True meaning: We must for the hidden agenda that would would hang me for if I told you the true reason why. See! "For Our Children" is much shorter, uses less ink and is less confusing. No wonder they use it! |

Quoting: acegotflows When you go to court, the judge says what can and can't be considered. But it's a jury of your peers right? Why don't they get a say based on everything ? read up on jury nullification. YUP the point that I'm making is it is bowing to an assumed authority that's why the contradictions are so much because if people asked real questions you would be dismissed in a few minutes real questions to ask in court - remember questions and beliefs are not convict able 1- what authority do you use to address me? 2- may I seek a higher authority? 3- I believe that there is a problem with the name as I do not recognize that as an authority to be here 4- may I face my accuser? I'm not saying that this is going to win or lose you a case, but if a judge or court were stupid enough to actually answer those questions they would expose the fact that they are a false authority themself now the legal language of how to get out of the jam, I'm not versed in.

"We" are going into space. ...and "Monsanto" is feeding the world. |
