tallest basketball player will be a chinese

amelia earhart found

[Xavier_Onassis]

They still have not found Amelia. They have a few bone fragments and scraps of aluminum. Maybe with DNA testing, they can be sure. Her plane could be in the water off the coast of the atoll where they found the bone fragments. There is a pretty good book on Amelia I am hoping our library gets.

With 1.3 billion people, really tall Chinese are statistically probable. Basketball can be learned.

An undertaker auctioning off a coffin is ghoulish. This should be illegal.

When they reburied Jesse James, they replaced the old coffin and burned it.

[Christians4LessGvt]

I agree it's in poor taste but I do not agree it should be illegal.
If the family of deceased sells it then all bets are off.
If you have a willing buyer and willing seller of a legal product
Then liberal control freaks should not force their opinion on others.
You probably think ticket scalping should be illegal too!

[kimba1]

I think volume ticket scalping should be illegal. it gets in the way of the general public from buying tickets at a uninflated price.

[Xavier_Onassis]

I don't attend anything where anyone scalps tickets. And I see no reason why it should be legal. Ticket scalpers are scum. I'd rather stay home than do business with them. But this coffin merchant is a real ghoul. He should have had to get the consent of Oswald's heirs, at the very least.

So you think that if someone with a famous ancestor wants to sell the coffin (or even the remains) of their famous ancestor, they have the right to dig him up and sell it (or him) at auction?

So suppose some heir to Ronald Reagan is broke and needs some cash, so they have the right to dig Ronnie and Nancy up and peddle their bones to some collector as a matched set?

Perhaps Sally Hemmings descendants could disinter Thomas Jefferson and put his bones and coffin on e-bay? If you oppose this, you must be against capitalism, right?

[Christians4LessGvt]

I don't attend anything where anyone scalps tickets.

Then you do not attend popular events...which is no surprise to me.
More control freakism of  "if I dont approve it should be illegal".

And I see no reason why it should be legal.

I see no reason why it should be illegal

Ticket scalpers are scum.

How so?

They provide a valuable service to willing buyers of a legal product.

It is insanity to believe a front row seat, a second row seat, a fifth row seat
has the same value as a 35th row seat.

It is just reality that a 1st row seat...a 2nd, 3rd row seat is worth much
more than a seat 10, 20, 30 rows back.

Why should that be left to luck of the draw, when
there is a real value & you have a willing buyer and willing seller
of that valuable legal product?

Scalpers provide a service to people.
Sometimes people love a certain entertainment product.
It is very important  to them.
They may save all year so they can get front row seats to Lady GaGa.
So they work hard...save up for front row concert seats.
Who are you to say they can not purchase that valuable seat from a willing seller?
It does not matter whether you think that is stupid.
You dont have the right to decide what people enjoy and value.
I only attend concerts and games if I can sit in excellent seats...
I dont attend many events, but when I do I am willing to shell out bucks for primo seats.
Why do you have the right to stop me a willing buyer from
purchasing a legal poduct from willing seller that goes to great
lengths to attain the valuable product they know I want and will be willing
to pay a premium for?

It is lunacy to pretend all lower level Super Bowl seats are of equal value.
They are not the same value....reality is what it is.

I'd rather stay home than do business with them.

I'd rather stay home if I cant use their valuable service.

But this coffin merchant is a real ghoul. He should have had to get the consent of Oswald's heirs,
at the very least. So you think that if someone with a famous ancestor wants to sell the coffin
(or even the remains) of their famous ancestor, they have the right to dig him up and sell it
(or him) at auction?

That is not anywhere near what happened in this case.
The undertaker provided the family with a new coffin
because obviously Oswald could not be re-buried in the old one.
In exchange for the new free coffin the undertaker was given the old one by the family.
If the family didnt like the deal, they should have bought a coffin and destroyed the old one.
The family IF they are upset now...and I have not heard they are...
But IF they are...then they should not have made the deal.
It's a wooden box...the body is not there....in poor taste? yeah maybe....but illegal....HELL NO!

So suppose some heir to Ronald Reagan is broke and needs some cash,
so they have the right to dig Ronnie and Nancy up and peddle their bones
to some collector as a matched set?

Again that is not what happened in this case.
There are laws against disturbing the dead.
Heir's do not own the dead and thus can not dig them up or disturb them without a court order with just cause.

Perhaps Sally Hemmings descendants could disinter Thomas Jefferson and put
his bones and coffin on e-bay? If you oppose this, you must be against capitalism, right?

See above....or you can keep repeating "apples to oranges" non-sense.
But unlike many when liberals keep repeating bullshit I am not more likley to buy it.

I do not recall any controversy about whether Oswald was buried in his grave.
I have never heard one word about how Oswald was not really assassinated by Jack Ruby. Everyone knows and has always known he was killed and how he was killed and who killed him and that he is dead, dead, dead. So why the Hell did they dig him up?
 
You have no proof that Oswald's family approved this deal.
At the very least, they should have shared in the profit made by this ghoul.

In October 1981 Oswald's body was exhumed at the behest of British writer Michael Eddowes, with Marina Oswald Porter's support. He sought to prove a thesis developed in a 1975 book, Khrushchev Killed Kennedy (re-published in 1976, in Britain as November 22: How They Killed Kennedy and in America a year later as The Oswald File).

Eddowes' theory was that during Oswald's stay in the Soviet Union he was replaced with a Soviet double named Alek, who was a member of a KGB assassination squad. Eddowes' claim is that it was this look-alike who killed Kennedy, and not Oswald. Eddowes's support for his thesis was a claim that the corpse buried in 1963 in the Shannon Rose Hill Memorial Park cemetery in Fort Worth, Texas did not have a scar that resulted from surgery conducted on Oswald years before.

When Oswald's body was exhumed it was found that the plain, mole skin-covered pine coffin had ruptured and was filled with water, leaving the body in an advanced state of decomposition with partial skeletonization. The examination positively identified Oswald's corpse through dental records, and also detected a mastoid scar from a childhood operation.[114] Contrary to reports, the skull of Oswald had been autopsied and this was confirmed at the exhumation

 
You have no proof that Oswald's family approved this deal.

Whats there to prove? The guy provided a new coffin....what was the family going
to do drag the old water-logged rotting casket home and place it in their den? Logic
would hold that they did not want to take possession and/or store that old rotting
hunk of a pine box. If they did why didnt they ask for it? Because they didnt
want to deal with a pain in the ass...well this guy did...and now decades later
you want to steal what this guy cleaned up and stored for years.

Oswald's body was dug up in 1981 in an effort to put to rest conspiracy theories that he really wasn't
buried in his grave at what is now Shannon Rose Hill Memorial Park. After the body was identified through dental records,
it was returned to the grave. Because water had gotten into a cracked burial vault and damaged the original coffin,
Baumgardner swapped it with Oswald's family for a new one. The original shows signs of the water damage.
Its metal ornamentation is rusted and parts of it, including the lid, have rotted. Its satin lining has long since disintegrated

WARNING GRAPHIC:

Link below shows what Lee Harvey looked like in 1981 and may give a hint as to why
nobody was clamoring to get the old casket. It's not pretty XO!
