If thy thumb offends me I will cut it off ~;)
Guess what he wants to do to deadbeat dads or people who urinate on the sidewalk (both common probs in Vegas)?

Hmmm. A bit of an over reaction to some big concrete torteses getting sprayed. Oh well, he can do no wrong, if only b/c his wife ran my high school and made the decision to admit be, a leaching scholarship student.
And no way is Oscar a member of the Morman church. I think he wants to make prostitution legal in Clark County. Doubt he has the clout to change the state constitution.

And you attempted to berate me in another thread - tsk tsk. ~:eek:
Do you know if he is a mormon or are you just assuming it because he lives in Nevada.

HE'S NOT! Actually, he had Jewish parents or so said wiki.

Oh yeah, The Meadows School is mentioned in that article.

:inquisitive: When did the mormons sneak out of Utah and take over Vegas? :lost:
this again proves that before you take public office you really should undergo psichiatric evaluation....

Mormons have been in Vegas for a long time - they were there before the casino's in fact.

True. There is even a large Mormon temple on the east side of the city.

And he's not a Mormon.....
Oscar used to be a lawyer for the mob, and he's jewish, not Mormon.
The Mormons were in Vegas when the casinos sprang up, and they were so trustworthy that the casinos and mobs used them as bankers. Still do.

Can't say that I'm well versed in Nevada or Vegas history, but I don't think the Mormons have been running the show since the Comstock Lode was found. As best I can recall they had decline to just another group, not like Utah. They had pulled out of Nevada back in Brigham Young's time.
I certainly couldn't consider legalized prostitution (Nevada, not Vegas) and casino gambling Mormon sponsored activities. Mormons are all around the U.S. Higher concentrations in places like Nevada, but not much like Utah...polar opposite perhaps.

Who cares if he's a Mormon? The point is that he's a nut.
state university system regent Howard Rosenberg, said ... Goodman should “use his head for something other than a hat rack.”
My favorite part of the whole article. ~D

Punishment? Yes.
To the extreme? Maybe.
Making it into TV entertainment? Hell no.
Check out Saints in Babylon by Kenric Ward (http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~7857.aspx)
Mormons comprise a substantial percentage of Las Vegas and have considerable financial interests in casinos and other Vegas businesses. Vegas was to be a major center for the Mormon State of Deseret.

BTW, Oscar Goodman is no nut. He's amazingly slick, he makes a lot of his friends a veritable boatload of money. He's colorful, offbeat (he regularly appears on the local FM morning shock show) and he's conneected to some very powerful folks (some of them are the kind of guys you hope dont show up at your house).

Surely it is an obviously ironic statement...

No, mine was an obvious joke that America has been inflitrated by the Taliban to the point that politicians are trying to appease the local voting base by using Taliban methods as political point scoring.
Note, I could have stated that the Amish or Baptist or any other religous group that is fundamentalist but traditionally non-violent in their approach. The irony was that the reason the politican for going down such a violent path was to appeal to the non-violent fundies. :hide:

Ha! So I live in a city that the mayor is a former mob-lawyer nutjob who has problems with thumbs! ~:eek:
Nice...
I hate graffiti, too, but cutting thumb? That's soooo Old Testament. ~;)

Hehe. that ill learn 'em.
On a slightly more intellectual note, i don't think it's a good idea. when you lose a thumb, it's gone. I would support light public floggings though.
:viking::whip:
Guards who taser grafittiers and then spray them with their own paints. That'd teach them.
