I was going to guess the Bengals

And where do these stats come from?

[Pdarasenko]

I'm surprised so many have been arrested for things like shoplifting. They do have Constitutional Immunity, you know:

Section 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place.

You're still vulnerable to arrest, the police just have to wait until you get back home.

And yes, this is the same as was published in 1999, slightly modified to appear more recent.
(1998 was changed to "in the last year")

well the original list was never really verified so I wonder how acurate it really was.

[bikersfan]

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet? Scroll down,



















Neither, it's the 435 members of the United States Congress


The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE.

Until I scrolled down I was ready to post an angry response "athletes are no different than other citizens" - "why should what you do off the field matter?" "Accused doesn't mean you are guilty" "Shouldn't Christians be the first to fogive" etc etc etc.

Then I scrolled down

I still believe everything I said above, but if there is any group that should be held to such a standard, it should be the group that forces that standard amongst us. I find it due justice that the people who continually try to take away our freedoms or want to record every transgression that a person may have made in their entire life should be held to a higher standard.

Only problem here is we don't know the outcome of all the accusations. I can tell you what the outcome would be if it were a teenager in Detroit.

APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE
