This is the flaw in the adversarial system on both the crim and civil side. When I defended criminal cases, the AUSAs were under intense pressure to win at all costs. I could understand perverting truth and making absurd claims look plausible for money on the civil side because, well, thats just money. Doesn’t make it right, but its hardly as loathesome as pushing a crim case you know is weak. I honestly don’t understand how some DAs and AUSAs do the immoral shit they do. The most often used rationalization I heard back then was “well, they’re guilty of something,” or “getting him off the street was unquestionably a benefit to society.” That’s true, I guess. But doesn’t that mean that some guilty party is left running around in society? How do you reconcile that morally?

The worst of the worst are the politically motivated prosecutors. People like the USA in Pittsburgh who agrees to test novel pornography and drug paraphenalia prosecutions to curry favor with Bush to get an appointment to some cushy DC gig or Court or Eliott Spitzer, who started off with a decent cause and then became an out of control megalomaniacal whore, force their minions to do all sorts of awful shit to make their offices look tough. Prosecutors should not be allowed to run for higher office right out of their prosecutorial gigs. They should have to take 3 years off in between, to make the whoring-up they do before a run at the governorship less attractive a vote-garnering investment. There’s an inherent conflict of interest there.

Fuck, Bill Clinton executed a man so mentally disabled he asked the guard to keep a piece of pie for him before he was taken to the death chamber. He said wanted to eat it when he got back. Bill did that because if he didn't, a pack of assholes who love to say "we need to get tougher on crime" wouldn't vote for him. We are pretty tough on crime. That stupid plank of the GOP and Dem party platform should have been retired around 1985.

Yes, but what do you have against granny panties? I like the way a girl's butt looks in regular undies, e.g. Scarlett Johannsen in Lost in Translation. Then again, I also like thongs...and nothing at all. I have no point.

Sometimes a steamy letter will do it, sometimes - not often, but sometimes - I like the idea of a chick with a horse." - Banky, Chasing Amy

Have terms been redefined? There's a big difference between granny panties and regular panties. It's like 4x on the material.

If I wanted to get all Eva on you, I'd say the material relationship is exponential as you go from thong, to panty, to granny panty. But I won't, because I'm sick of that pic.

I think the terms have been redefined. Regular underwear is now granny panties, regardless of amount of fabric. I blame the schools. Or the unions. Or the move away from the gold standard.

Sebastian's dislike for granny panties relates directly to his dislike for receiving oral pleasure from a woman, but for reasons I cannot now articulate.

Is anything that is not a thong or a g-string characterized as "granny panties"?

Inquiring minds want to know.

ETA how did I not see those other posts? I think the site is defective.

Word. It's not like the only choices are granny and thong. My problems with thongs are the following:

1. Thongs send the message "I'm trying too hard. LOOK AT MEEEE!"
2. Thongs have to (by necessity) come up to a certain height around the waist, and I tend to wear low-rise pants, and I don't really like having my underwear showing.
3. They go up your butt.


That said, the easy access is a nice feature.


ETA number 4. With a thong, you can't wear butt pads!!

I believe that there are low-rise thongs now. Perhaps they are not low enough, though.

hmm. I tend to only wear thongs - because of the no VPL feature. Although around the house, if I am just wearing underwear I will wear grannies.

This feels like a TMI post circa 2001 or whenever chef was in charge.

ETA: I recently learned that in the UK, thongs are called tangas and flip-flops are called thongs. I learned this from my mother, of all people. I knew about the flip-flop thing, but not about the tanga.

both the Eva photo and the "criminal jumpsuit" fringey photo are simply symbols utilized to convey a thought. You might just as well say you are sick of the letter Q as to say you are sick of those photos. Whether you have become sick of it doesn't mattler if it's needed to complete the message.

Apparently you have less problem than dtb with things going up your butt.

Correct, except for the term is UNDERPANTS.

I admit there are times when only a thong will do.

What do you call what used to be called grannies? You know, the kind that comes up to your belly button?

My favorite underwear is the "shorts" kind:

The letter Q is among my favorite letters. This, even though I still cannot accurately depict a cursive capital letter Q without practicing several times on scratch paper. I am really good at capital cursive Zs and most other letters, largely because of my extremely genius-level IQ.
