The UN definition of torture may be out of date and may not take into account many events that are currently happening. Please detail your sources and add your comments to this. It is time a fully comprehensive definition was established.

The six teens were charged shortly after the local prosecutor declined to charge three white teens who hung nooses in a tree on their high school grounds. Five of the black teens were initially charged with attempted murder, but that charge was reduced to battery for all but one, who has yet to be arraigned; the sixth was charged as a juvenile.

"This is the most blatant example of disparity in the justice system that we've seen," Sharpton told CBS's "The Early Show" before arriving in Jena. "You can't have two standards of justice."

Or is the MEDIA the one who are purporting that we (the viewers) care about it?

This story is about a local woman chraged with murder of her unborn fetuses.

Mychal Bell needs $90000 bail. 40000 people chipping in $2.50 each would raise $100000. More than enough to bail him out of jail. They will spend more than that just on soft drinks and snacks.

Come on Dems/Libs......admit the obvious. Mr. Bell is of more use to you in jail than as a free man. The last thing any of these people want is Bell out of jail.

Hey Dems/Libs if you really want to help this guy put up a $1.00 each and raise his bail. But you ain't gonna do that because then you would not be able to whin and cry and rant and rave.

Ahmadinejad---or Nazi Jihad or whatever his name is---plans to visit the UN. Obviously, he needs to go through NYC's highways to get to the Iran mission to the UN. Since the US does not have diplomatic relations with Iran, and hasn't since 1979, can the FBI arrest him for his roles in the hostage crisis, support of global terrorism, and arming terrorists in Iraq?

I think there should be a petition to ban all OJ coverage or just send him in to exile.

In my opinion, Yes.
I believe the war is a disaster. No WMDs, No ties to 9/11, destabilization of the area, 50K+ dead Iraqis, almost 4K dead Americans, billions and billions in toilet, being despised around the world, and simply, more reasons for terrorist to hate us.
However, we have not lost anything. Our troops have done everything we have asked. They have fought hard and long, we owe them a huge Thank You.
Now, any mention of a loose should be attacked as disgusting and unpatriotic.
Lets get the boys home!!!
Thanks for reading.
Please, share you opinions.

I've been watching CNN's report on the 6 black students that beat up on the white kid in Jena La. They keep saying this was a "fight" in school but a fight requires both sides to throw punches. I, like most, would like to get a true picture of what happened there. No, news organization has reported that the white kid was "attacked" or "assulted." Like most Americans, I think the local DA went way beyond what was required to seek punishment for the black kids, but can't find out what really happened via any media source? Got a link that is not slanted one way or another? What did witnesses say? Who stopped the beating & what did they see?

As a white man, I am sick and tired of getting blamed for EVERYTHING that's wrong with the black community. Everytime I see Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson on tv, I say to myself " Oh, boy what did I do now?"

Story here;

Basically 6 black kids beat a white kid almost to death.
And they're bitching about racism?
Honestly, if it were the other way around, there would be race riots wouldn't there?
Thankfully we see now that racism is a two-way street.

Those boys deserve to be tried and sent to jail. They ganged up on one kid and beat him up!!!!! Al Sharpton is a joke! Anyone else agree?

when will the black community and the MEDIA realize that these two idiots are not men of god or the people. they have been using the black community (mostly the poor, and criminal) as their stepping stool for years to attain a wealthy status. why does the black community continue to rally behind these men when the reality is that they are pushing civli rights for all races backwards. MLK jr taught us and preached to us to love, honor, and respect each other as we are all children of god. nothing else matters but that. so i ask again why does the black community stand behind these two men who preach hatred and vengence and say that they are doing it for god, and the black community? we are all humans and we will all hate and fight and have our own opinions because that is our nature as humans, but we also can compramise and see other points of view.
