“How to Save a Live’ was on Scrubs? I only heard it on Grey’s Anatomy…

I guess I need more facts for me to comment…

To be honest, I don’t think any artist musical or otherwise, should ever be called insignifigant.

“In the Independent Counsel’s judgment, there was sufficient evidence to prosecute President Clinton for violating federal criminal laws within this Office’s jurisdiction. Nonetheless, the Independent Counsel concluded, consistent with the Principles of Federal Prosecution, that further proceedings against President Clinton for his conduct should not be initiated. That decision was supported by:

(1) President Clinton’s admission of providing false testimony that was knowingly misleading, evasive, and prejudicial to the administration of justice before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas;

(2) his acknowledgement that his conduct violated the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Arkansas Supreme Court;

(3) the five-year suspension of his license to practice law and $25,000 fine imposed on him by the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas;

(4) the civil contempt penalty of more than $90,000 imposed on President Clinton by the federal court for violating its orders;

(5) the payment of more than $850,000 in settlement to Paula Jones;

(6) the express finding by the federal court that President Clinton had engaged in contemptuous conduct; and

(7) the substantial public condemnation of President Clinton arising from his impeachment. ”

Clinton paid a fine, gave up his law license, paid a civil penalty, paid Paula Jones almost a million bucks, but was never convicted or pleade guilty to a felony.

Thanks …

So big ups to Owen and Craig and anyone else who needs to rethink their life.

And also big ups to removing any Politician or person in power who doesn’t even know their own desires. I do not trust your judgment that may dictate hundreds of millions of lives.

That’s about all I gotta say, this comment chain is pretty intense. Good stuff.

And once again, everyone , please try your best to undestand that I dont approve of Craigs actions at all, I think it’s all rather revolting , and has nothing to do at all with sexual preferences.
I just think the media and all the linch mobs should just back off already.
This subject is just getting WAY too much attention already. I had to turn off my TV this morning before I blew a gasket.
He should answer to the law, resign and be left to whatever resources will help him to get whats left of his life back on track.

It’s not been reported. The original post simply suggested that it was a possibility, because people in high places fall harder — and it’s hard enough for the average Joe (or Larry) to deal with the pressures of public ridicule, but following the adage ‘the bigger they are, the harder they fall, it may be that a person in the Senator’s position is still human and might not be able to withstand the ridicule.

If, as the original post simply suggests, Craig is a bi-sexual who NEVER acknowledges it to anyone else — to the point that he NEVER deals with it — he can be self-loathing. His entire culture and upbringing and religion say men should not have sex with men (old testament scripture: “A man shall not lay with a man as he does with a woman — it is an abomination”).

With sexual stimulation equating to a physical arousal resulting in a high from the chemical release at orgasm, it MAY be (and emphasis goes on the word “may”) that Senator Craig finds tremendous pleasure in something his entire being (and the Bible) says is wrong.

The answer is not necessarily to say “Just accept the fact you’re bi-sexual.” It is a slap in God’s face to ignore his word (it is an abomination) just to aleviate oneself of guilt. Craig may (and again, I emphasize the ‘may’) feel so guilty that he doesn’t feel like he can come to God and say “Hey — God — I have this problem . . . ”

The pain may be too great.

And from that perspective, if the pain is seen by Craig as being unbearable and he does not feel he can confess appropriately to God, then he MAY (again, the emphasis) choose suicide.

The original post simply suggests that as a society, we dog pile on people. But if the dog pile suffocates the life out of a person and they end it all, then how do WE feel?

Thanks for visiting the newly-launched TPZoo blog and for leaving a comment there.

We are still in “beta” mode right now, but should have our official URL by tomorrow.

We should be able to “exchange” links at that time.

I don’t have much time to look over your site right now but, at first glance, it looks very nice.
