I just realized that anyone who happens to be drinking orange juice with breakfast when they hear this will probably remember today every time Simpson is brought up in the future.
"I was drinking O.J. when O.J. died!", etc.

I don't have much to say for Simpson himself, though.

My family and I were on a Disneyland vacation on the L.A. freeway, when we saw his bronco speed by and the cops chase him. I got to see it live, in-person. But we didn't know what was going on until we got back to our hotel room and turned on the news.

He was a real piece of shit. Murdered two people, put countless people's live at stake with his high speed chase, got off, then got off "easy" for armed robbery. He should have spent a few years in jail for the high speed chase alone.

He murdered two people and got away with it. He even wrote a book admitting to how he would kill them. A real piece of shit right there.
That's not true. They messed with the book's title as "revenge" to him. It was originally called "If I did it" or something like that.

Well, nothing to fear from the dead, but it's just the decency of not attacking someone who can't defend himself anymore. It's like when you're talking to someone, and he goes shit talking about a third person behind his back. Would you respect the shit talker? I know I wouldn't. Luckily, I don't know many people like that. And when I'm confronted with one, I tend to just walk away.

Saying that he "rode comfortably into old age" when he's been in jail most of it and died of cancer is just needlessly savage. He died alone and in suffering, after a lifetime in misery, I think it's punishment enough?

I think it's fair. His choices got him where he ended up, and the cancer was just icing on the cake.

That's a matter of opinion. and sometimes you don't have clear choices, can you say for yourself that everything that happened in your life was your only choice and not a choice of someone else deciding for you? Its not that simple. You are being ignorant just like people who believe he was 100 percent guilty in the first place and believed the media etc.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
