should the punishment for a crime should act just as much as a deterrent? i mean criminals probably assess the risk of commiting a crime to decide whether it is worth the possibility of getting caught. for example, if you steal a car you would probably get about 1 year, and be out in 6 months. If there was a mandatory sentence of 10-15 years which you have to serve in full, would car crime go down? it may seem an extreme sentence but i think it would stop a lot of people doing it and if they did and got caught they certainly wouldn't do it again. You could say the punishment doesn't fit the crime well then good. it shouldn't be fair.

There are these three men chatting happily in the park.
One is a Jew, one is a Muslim and the other is a Christian.
How wonderful it is to see these three people of different backgrounds getting on so well?

Here's the deal... I am in graduate school and I have a horrible relationship with my parents. They are actually helping me pay for some of the costs of living (rent, mostly) because I get almost no money for teaching and being a grad student. Anyway, I want to be independent and cut ties w/ my parents but with the amount of money I have and the expense of this city, a trailer park is the most reasonable place to go. A 900 square foot condo is 530,000 and a trailer of that size is about 30,000 which I can afford.

Also, housing prices are declining and I am afraid to buy. I hate renting because my money just goes out the window. Are trailer parks safe to live in alone? Can people break in? Can I walk around at night? Would people outside the trailer park not want to associate with me if I was "trailer trash"? I mean, could I date someone if he knew where I lived? Just considering all of this - thanks for SERIOUS REPLIES only. This is a stressful decision.

I have lots of Genealogy (some pretty impressive) around my home, many stories, some pictures, and family recipes. I'd like to get them published but I don't know how. I need to find someone who I know I feel I can trust to help me.

That the guy trying to be her friend is "hitting" on her? What if the guy simply just wants a friendship? Are they on a leash or what? becuz it's pathetic. What's wrong with making more guy friends?

What would be an easily way to tell her that all I want is a friendship? Then perhaps later on, if she breaks up, I can make a move hehehe

expand their tastes. They won't eat many vegetables, fruit, pork, any spices or herbs, nothing mixed together and the list goes on. My dinners consist of spaghetti, alfredo, tacos, and not much else. Is there any cookbooks or anything to help with meal ideas? I love to cook, but everything I try they hate. Help??

I hate my sister, but for good reasons, I think.

One, she abandonded her two beautiful children to me and our mom. Which really interfers with our lives, but we are happy we got them instead of them going to foster care.
Two, she steals from everyone in the family, even our grandmother who is sick. And she'll steal while looking you right in the face.
Three, she acts as if she doesn't know the english language. She uses too much slang, and that is something I can't stand when anyone does it.
Four, she got a credit card in my mom's name and bought a lot of stuff for her friends, almost 10,000 dollars worth of stuff, and now my mom can barely pay her own bills. And not only did all these friends abandon her, but she seems to feel no guilt over putting our mother in such a bad situation.
Five, she won't get a job to support herself or her children, even though she has an amazing resume' and could get pretty much any job she wants.
More reasons, but I don't have enough room here.
