3. I'd bet my life that no.1 is white. Questions: Do you all have soles? Is the word "emphathy" in your vocabularies? Is there anything....I mean anything.....that you all feel sorry about? I'm not trying to be facetios. I really want to know. When you all cry when your family members die are you all truly sad or are you all just trying to fool the rest of the world? Yeah...I know. I'm an idiot...a bigot, e.t.c. But after you say all those things, please answer my questions. I really truly want to know the answers.

6. To poster 3: We don't care at all. We're self-absorbed selfish punks who have been told that the world is all about us. We are here to laugh at other's problems.

7. On Idol she did act alittle nuts, but she didn't deserve to be killed.

11. The only thing worse than being murdered in the street by some random jackass with his car I guess would be people finding it funny.

14. Wait a minute! "death by reckless driving as well as leaving the scene of an accident" is on;y punishable for up to 15 years in prison? That seems like a crime itself. Does one have to use a Halle Berry or a Brandy defense?
