Then what about the majority who have no relapse, are disgusted over what they have done and are motivated to return back to society as nice and law-abiding citizens? What about them, ET? "Too bad"? Have you even thought about what you sai...  [Read More]

Life-long jail has no purpose. The purpose of all punishment in a civilized society is IMO to have a criminal serve his debt to society and go out as a free and law-abiding man. Life-long jail and death sentence does not have this ability. IMO, they...  [Read More]

I don't get it. Many of these people are disgusted by their previous actions, and wants to live better lives. If we put GPS tracks in all of them, it will be to paint them all black, minimizing the chances of successfully returning to society. And w...  [Read More]

Originally written by Cardinal Ratzinger "Rock" . . . is the expression of elemental passions, and at rock festivals it assumes a cultic character, a form of worship, in fact, in opposition to Christian worship. People are, so to speak, rel...  [Read More]

Hopefully, by the time space colonization and mining becomes a reality, the world will be one country, which can claim space rescources for the good of all. If not, I have a nasty feeling we might see one hell of lawsuits and judical complexity, pro...  [Read More]

Keeping Schiavo alive for 15 years has cost, what, $2 million maybe? Hospital equipment and service is expensive, so this is a realistic number. If those $2 million were spent on vaccination on third world children, we would afford to vaccinate rou...  [Read More]

I don't know about you guys, but I haven't actually seen or heard about any real bullying or bullies at my school. So in my experience, it's not nearly as widespread or as large a problem as some of you alledge. Sure, there's the occasional idiot, b...  [Read More]

"Bullies" are also people, you know. Silly folks, but people nontheless. As far as I see it, strict punishments would only be a sort of vengeance against their actions, and would only make them feel more unfairly treated and more frustrate...  [Read More]

You don't have to like the clothing style to accept it. You just have to accept that everyone have their own styles and opinions within clothing. Myself, I think sagging looks silly. But do I want to ban it? No. I think people should dress like they...  [Read More]

Most people have rather clean underwear. While there's something unhygenic in stuffing your underwear unto people's faces, there's nothing problematic in showing the clean top of your boxer over your pants. To me it seems like a poor excuse to get r...  [Read More]

You simply can't ban everything you don't like. You don't like how people dress? Fine. Big deal. Bite it in you. But to make laws about it? Ridiculous. If you can't tolerate other's people dressing, then it's you who are the problem, not them. I...  [Read More]

It's a confusing way to calculate, because of subtractions that should have been additions and vica versa. You'd want to calculate it in a different way, for instance: $30 (what they paid) + $3 (what they got back) + $2 (what the guy stole) = $35,...  [Read More]
