"Heaven" is the name of transsexual whorehouse in Bangkok. I wish for a turkey sandwich.

Well, it didn't take long for this thread to descend into anarchy.

Alright, John, you got me there. I suppose being inclined to increase his sentence just because he went to a party is unreasonable. However, this is a moot point since he went above and beyond the call of duty with that damn costume.

EXACTLY I BET YOU WILL WISH YOU DIDN'T STEAL MY LUNCH MONEY WHEN YOU'RE IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR, DAVE

Heh, I was cleaning up my computer and found this classic wacky AIM convo from early 2003: Jakey McJake: hi there John Fille Au Fish: Hi there Jake Fille Au Fish: how's stuff? Jakey McJake: eh. Jakey McJake: I have a vanilla coke Jakey McJake: things are looking up Fille Au Fish: well in that case Fille Au Fish: I HAVE TO…

Awww, but Patton Oswalt is cool

As my grandfather told me, anything more than a handful is just going to waste. There's a lot more of them out there than you think. The problem is, the guys who only dig huge, disgustingly disproportionate (like Ryan and Matt said) ones are usually massive tools whose drunken shouts and high fives distract us from…

What would a software update include?

This "small joke" is an excellent case for a longer jail sentence. "Finding something funny in everything" does not excuse the behavior. He's free to not resist the comedy option and find it as amusing as he wants, behind bars.
-
The purpose of jail time in cases like this is to rehabilitate the criminal so that they can make amends for breaking the law and is therefore fit to re-enter society. The fact that this person finds the prospect of jail joke-worthy means that he requires further jail time in order for that rehabilitation to occur. That's…
-
But the job of the sentencing judge was to decide what punishment fit his crime. Someone laughing at the prospect of jail deserves the leniency not to go jail? Why should the judge let him off the hook when he openly mocks it? Also, this "irony" you mention, "I'm going to jail, I'm already wearing the jail outfit at a…

How does your point remain the same? You keep insisting that that the photograph of him at a party in a prison costume means nothing save "a sense or irony" or whatever, and that he still felt remorseful. But the picture shows that he was able to forgo that remorse, if he had it at all, for comedic reasons. What is the…

It didn't effect the trial at all. It effected his sentencing. Remember, he was already found guilty. Like I said earlier:
-
How? It has everything to do with it. His actions demonstrate that he isn't remorseful at all. How else is a judge supposed to determine that? His own, self-interested testimony alone?
-
There's a difference between "Ok, things are down, but I'm going to whistle a happy tune" and "I'm going to make light of my ongoing criminal trial by dressing up as a prisoner and mocking the punishment that I want to avoid." Moving on is one thing. Turning a heel and openly satirizing what you supposedly feel bad about…

And I think that kind of glib attitude would warrant some jail time, because your lack of empathy is disgusting and an affront to what purpose lighter sentences like probation are supposed to serve.
-
The only way this is remotely the same is if you're the one who fucking killed his mother. Try and defend that. Of course he's going to say he's sad and remorseful when he has to face the consequences of his actions. The sentencing hearing is to decide if he actually is. The photograph was introduced as evidence that he is…
-
How can someone be insensitive and mean-spirited about their actions and simultaneously be remorseful about them? Like Ryan said, I would be near catatonic with grief if I was responsible for hurting an innocent person. I'd even be inclined to sentence him harshly if the picture was of him just at a party having a good…
-
And if it was your family member in the ICU I'm sure you'd find it just as hilarious. EDIT: Just to clarify, when someone is on the docket in a DUI case with a person seriously injured, you think that dressing up as a prisoner demonstrates that he is remorseful? The sentencing face of a trial is different from the rest -…
-
Also, it seems like this picture was used in the sentencing hearing. The court had already decided that this kid was guilty - or perhaps he pled guilty, I don't know - and was trying to determine the appropriate punishment. I think 2 years wasn't enough.

I CALL DR. LIGHT

Happy Birthday!

That couldn't have been serious. I can't believe it.

My face just melted, that's how awesome that remix is.

:'( I admit it, I only like U of I because of its racist mascot

Don't forget the bearded pickle.

I'm also bitter that you can't spell 'college' or 'occupants' OMG At least you got 'their' right

The University of Chicago is an overpriced private school filled with petulant conservatives who masturbate to the gold standard

Panda, I've read through the thread and I still have a question: Why are you a 'Satanist' as opposed to just an atheist, or a secular humanist or an existentialist? What about LaVeyan Satanism specifically attracts you? I think that's what John was hoping to glean from this thread.
