Hijack of thread

I got into a heated debate the other day about the Kobe Bryant case with a friend of mine. This man had him already guilty because he is a celebrity, and probably because of the OJ Simpson case. I had to refute this. Not because I think Kobe is not guilty, but probably because I despite generalzation (?). There actually is, based on the information I have managed to dig up, a chance that Kobe actually is not guilty.
But I digress, What I am actually trying to point out is, that this man questioned my sources for information! Now I understand that no-one can rely on any single source of information, I believe that any individual newspaper/website/TV news has it's own agenda,and so I don't rely on any individual source!! I read my local paper, I read the New York Times, I have no less than 2 daily news briefs come to my email, and I get several mags monthly that cover this and other kinds of stuff, and I search the web when I am curious about a given subject, but don't feel well enough informed. I like to think that I am well informed because of this. If any of you out there disagree, or if you agree and would like to add to this, please add to this reply, and let me know how to stay more well informed.

Now for something completely different.

To keep the peace in my home, I got an XBox. Yes, I know a console for games. Hear me out, though. It was that or upgrade my 6 year old PC, which would probably cost 3x what I can afford to spend. That's what I told my wife anyway

Since I don't even know who Kobe Bryant is (is he a football player?) I'll start talking about Michael Jackson. There seem to be people who think "oh, he's just eccentric" or "He's a famous rock star, he couldn't possibly be guilty". I for one don't follow this line of reasoning. I have no reason to believe he is guilty (except the police must have evidence to press the case), but I also have no reason to think he is automatically innocent either. If I was forced to choose, and considering I don't have any evidence, I'd say he was guilty. It's an arbitrary opinion, and mostly because I don't buy into the automatically inocent mindset. I can see many books being published in a few years detailing Michael Jacksons fall from grace.

Edit: oh, and loser. You must really like the wheels on the bus.
