    Thief calls 911, afraid homeowner may have a gun

    This presents a question. Since the intruder was still in the man's home, could the homeowner raid the bathroom and legally kill the thief as he was talking to 911? http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/03/08/oregon.intruder.911/index.html?iref=obnetwork

    At least 18 savages charged with gang raping (Please Read the Moderator Note in OP)

    I can't think of any other word. They are truly savages, from the youngest to the oldest. You really have to wonder what's going through their mind, all 18 of them (at least), as they rape a little girl. http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/03/07/texas.rape.arrests/index.html?hpt=P1&iref=NS1 If it...

    Which state in America is the most overrated/underrated?

    It annoys me when politicians blow smoke up each other's ass when they say "The great state of...". We all know some of these states aren't great by any means. But, considering I've only lived in New York and Texas, I was wondering if I was missing out on anything out there. Any hiddgen gems?

    Not really interested in movies anymore. Documentaries FTW

    Not sure if it has anything to do with me getting older but I find movies and television shows too predictable. But a (well-done) documentary is far more enjoyable, IMHO. Anyway, I found this site and was hoping there are other sources of documentaries. My favorites deal with crime, science...

    When brushing your teeth, do you also brush your tongue?

    I do but I'm not sure if I'm not the only one. I met some Asians this morning whose tongue was grey, not normal. They said they don't brush their tongue. I asked why and they said they just don't.

    RS: Army used psy-ops against US citizens

    US Senators, in this case. This is interesting because if it was used against regular Americans, there would've been a law passed exempting the Army. But considering it was used against Senators, a holy shit-storm could be in the making. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12571711 The...

    Was any reason given as to why the New York Times got rid of comments below articles?

    It's been gone for a while and I haven't seen any explanation why. I really enjoyed those. Considering that the people are generally more educated, you could see some making corrections or a good discussion going on. The Economist's website has something similar but it has been overwhelmed by...

    Why are there big cats but no big dogs?

    Lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, even hyenas are related to the common cat. However, even though dogs may vary, they cannot match the size and strength of big cats. Why?

    Few customers lining up for Verizon's iPhone

    Is it possible to see how many infractions you have?

    Now that we can see who a moderator is, is it possible for members to see (a history of) infractions lobbied against them by moderators? Sort of like how many minutes you have left on your cellphone plan. I'd also like to know what the maximum is and, thus, what each infraction is worth.
