A good question has been posed by self proclaimed blogmaster dimebag darrell. This one should get some blood boiling!

"Which of the following would/should cost you more time in prison if the crime is committed in Stoddard County: dogfighting, child molestation, selling drugs that take a man's life, or attempted murder?" Opinions??

Please remember to not be slanderous or threatening to anyone particular. Have fun!

Bobby Greer, I can't believe you took Dimebag Darrell up on his suggestion!! Before I would put myself out to answer this obviously slanted question, I think Dimebag should give us HIS opinion! He obviously takes a dim view of Stoddard County justice, so let's see him post HIS opinion and take the heat!

Step up, dimebag.

Wrong again goat - great view of Stoddard County justice. You conclusions and judgements amaze me - my opinion is that you need a new opinion of the dimebag.

baaaaaaaaaa baaaaaaaaaa

Mmm...did you take your buddy's advice and check out the coffee on BJ's blog, dd? Not likely I'll get a new opinion of the dimebag...

You haven't answered Mr. Bobby's question, now have you? I guess you're insinuating that the dogfighters get a tougher sentence than the child molesters and drug peddlers? You probably think they're just having good ole redneck fun, eh?

-- Posted by goat lady on Sun, Jun 29, 2008, at 8:41 PM
Well, I'll go ahead here. The answer is: 1)attempted murder 2)child molestation 3)selling drugs that get somebody dead and 4) dogfighting. However, molesting a dogfighter while selling drugs to his killer should negate any sentance b/c they cancel themselves out.

Goat is awesome....She rips me and others for being disrespectful, but read her posts. Goat, just type and stop being Holier Than Thou (great Meeeeeetalica tune btw)......Layne has ended this blog by typing the answer......Staley, we have missed your wisdom. Dimebag, don't worry about Goat, she likes you.

Man... she totally took all the fun out of this by letting me get her goat so early. Your too easy goat lady.

I conquer with layne - I actually think death penalty for the child molestation is an excellent idea but looks as though it won't happen.

How can a person who calls herself Goat Lady call anyone else a redneck?

Actually, I was not insinuating anything - if you haven't noticed the nation will just tell you what they think (east side)...

BUT since you brought it up - I am gonna guess that the goat thinks dog fighting is as serious as those other crimes - if that is the case, I would like for you to just go ahead and throw that down so we can gnaw on it for a while.

Before anyone calls me out - that should have been concur with layne but its late and I am a redneck.

Almost every day, i see the same face on broken picture tube, it fits the attitude. If you could see yourself you'd put you on a shelf. hostile anyone?

-- Posted by dimebag darrell on Mon, Jun 30, 2008, at 12:28 AM
I think being on the roof of the high school is far worse than any of those other crimes.

Hey, hey, the gang's all here! I knew they'd turn out to defend your honor, dimebag. It's a real headbanger's reunion.

Shannonhoon, I believe these were my exact words on Bobby's last blog:

"As for the blog site instructions for us to be 'respectful,' I would hate to see us all being little namby-pambies, who are afraid to disagree with each other. Yeah, a topic concerning kids is usually considered 'off limits,' but - hey, bon scott and his buddies have been a lot more 'disrespectful' than this on other blogs!" (End of quote)

I'm not the one who has blatantly called you "disrespectful." There have been plenty of others who've stepped up to that plate. (Stand in line)

I think it's pretty obvious that I don't mind a little "disrespect:" I don't even mind dimebag's hilarious accusation that I'm a "redneck." A person who lives out in the boonies and keeps goats sets herself up for easy shots like that.

And, contrary to our self-appointed blogmaster's self-appointed opinion, I don't think a dogfighter should get more time in prison than a murderer; but I do think they both deserve a "time out."

At least I don't have to express myself in the vocabulary of dead rock stars...

Let's see, I believe in making the punishment fit the crime, so with tongue in cheek....

Those convicted of raping children should be put in prison where they can be repeatedly raped by those who have power over them - not the jailers, the other prisoners. The prison system could make a little extra money by selling the videos: "Rapists Raped, What will happen to you if you rape children."

Those convicted of dog fighting should be put in a pit with an angry pit bull who has been trained to attack whatever is in the pit. If the person survives, they should receive the same level of medical care they gave their dogs - at least until they go back into the pit again - once for ever fight in which they participated.

Those convicted of selling drugs should be put in a pit with the parents and/or loved ones of their victims. I don't figure they'll survive the experience.

To discuss which crime is worse is a waste of time. They're all bad. They're all crimes for a reason.

Bobby Greer's response:
BAM!!!! There is our solution! Effective and inexpensive..... Thanks Ducky.
Ducky....good stuff and great movie with Molly Ringwald.

Goat....nice acting as if you haven't told me/us we are disrespectful, not buying it. Also didn't catch Darrel calling you a redneck...I think he called HIMself a redneck and you a Goatlady....how disrespectful for him to call you such a name.

Doesn't anybody feel, that all these killers should be killed?

I'm out .....walking hand in hand in hand with a three armed man.

-- Posted by shannonhoon on Mon, Jun 30, 2008, at 1:10 PM
Well, I, for one, am disappointed that we all took hoon at his word on this blog, and we just let it crash and burn - while he and his crew have laid waste to Bobby's other two blogs.

Whatever happened to the three-armed man?

-- Posted by goat lady on Wed, Jul 2, 2008, at 9:32 PM
Still walking hand in hand in hand with him....showin' him the way.

We didn't lay to waste BG's blogs....quite the contrary. We bring them to life. If not for us, You and Flipper would type back and forth four times agreeing with each other and then it would be over.......

-- Posted by shannonhoon on Wed, Jul 2, 2008, at 9:55 PM
Hoon,

I agree...your turn.

-- Posted by layne staley on Wed, Jul 2, 2008, at 11:14 PM
Hahaha! Point taken!

I, for one (probably the only one), appreciate your tireless and unselfish efforts to perk up the Statesman blogs by dedicating your time and intellect in the cause of truth, justice, and superior entertainment for all! Though, somehow, I rather doubt that those are your motives...

-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Jul 3, 2008, at 7:23 AM
To that Goat....I say Thank You.

-- Posted by shannonhoon on Thu, Jul 3, 2008, at 9:20 AM
For those about to GOAT - we salute you...

-- Posted by dimebag darrell on Wed, Jul 9, 2008, at 12:05 AM
DD - you stole Bon Scott's lyrics...although he was already dead by the time they wrote that one.

-- Posted by layne staley on Wed, Jul 9, 2008, at 9:42 PM
Have a drink on Goat?

-- Posted by shannonhoon on Thu, Jul 10, 2008, at 4:46 PM
Idiots!
