I think we could have listed the victims and even talked about them as individuals, but not gave the name of the gunman. I feel that by giving his name in the media, it will encourage others to follow his path. He even stated that he would be famous. If we take that away from them, do you think it would stop some of the killings?

This is really worth reading long as it is.

Yahoo has a story on this too today, basically about the retaliation people are taking against this woman for what she did:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/071206/technology/technology_internet_suicide

Basically this woman, mother of a girl who was friends with this teenager, drove this teenager to suicide by pretending to be a boy who liked this girl, then dumping her. What kind of sick person would do that then claim they are innocent?

I don't think I blame people for sending the linch mob. What she did is horrible.

Bad enough cyberbullying exists but for a parent to do this. How can she even claim any defense is beyond me.

and i'd like to know if anyone has good, valid sources that show a side of the issue. i've found tons of sites that support the fact that "skin lightening is horrible" which is the stance im taking, but since i need to recognize the opposition i'd also like to see if anyone has the actual sites for Fair and Lovely, or a site where an Indian magazine/newspaper praises it. Thanks if you can help!

With all of these women going missing and being murdered like Lacey Peterson, Stacy Peterson, and Natalee Holloway. What are some ways to prevent becoming like one of them? (Besides something like a gun, or a baseball bat.)

Why is there only a liberal media, and not a conservative media??

The only person I've ever seen who seems to suggest that The nutjob in IRAN is planning on wiping everyone out is Glenn Beck. Everyone else is saying, Oh leave Iran alone..they are just building nuclear power plants..our report proves it!! Sure an Oil producing nation needs nuclear power????

An earlier question suggested some criticism of Israel by US...(although it was not really believed) should the poster now offer something in return that is NOT a criticism of US?

How many other new creatures are out there that man thankfully has not destroyed?
I wonder how many animals are out there that we have been told are extinct that are just hiding from us.
