Current Events - August 2006

I personally can't decide, while I agree that images of real life rape should be banned and treated with the same penalties as images of child abuse and bestiality I aint sure I can agree with a law which would criminalise the activities of millions of people who engage in consensual sexual activities such as S&M, Bondage and sexual slavery who wish to see images of others doing this. I am drawn to the idea of thinking this is unnecessary legislation from the British government, anyone else got an opinion?

IVF treatment - It is sad that lots of women need to go through this to have a chance of having children.. So what if you want to have it but you have stuffed your face with a few extra Cakes & Sweeties making you a bit tubby Or you are a bit confused and are a Lesbian who wants a child without the need for a father figure. Should they be denied the chance or Is this the start of the State telling you how to live.

I was really horrified that Jon Karr is not JonBenet's killer. How could they put the family through this without more certainty? This was totally unnecessary. Do the Da's of this country not think about the family of the victim. My heart goes out to John Ramsey, and Patsy's sister, as well as the rest of the family. May JonBenet rest in peace with her dear mother.

What do you think? I really want to know.....

Does anyone here think something fishy is going on with the way Ray Nagin has been handling the "clean up?"

I still wonder if he was made an offer from big business to not clean up the poor areas so the poor cannot come back and then the million dollar hotels, homes and businesses can come in and take over.

What do you think?

If her sister in law is a "control freak", then she should protect her brother as best she could by finding him a good attorney, and dumping his wife.

Have you noticed in many ways woman are becoming more "empowered"...the media in commercials and in ad's portray's their husbands/boyfriends as stupid and inept? Sure seems a strange way to make yourself feel good...

Seriously, I'd love to know what goes on in your minds when it comes to crime, especially sex offenders who ruin lives of people for ever. How can you say "let's rehabilitate"? Unfortunately, it's mostly judges (previous lawyers) out there who decide the punishments which end up being a mere slap on the hand. Just for sick kicks, go to MEGANSLAW.COM and type in your zip code and see if you don't get a little nautious..... and remember, the results make up about 15% of what actually goes on. Most children are molested by people they know and never report it.

Does anyone think this whole "Ernesto" thing was blown WAY out of proportion? I lived in Miami for 20+ years and "weatherd" Hurricane Andrew, so I fully understand the importance of being prepared.... but now I live in central Florida and everyone was spazing for the past 2 days.

He was arrested in Thailand for other sex crimes with minors AND, in Thailand, the punishment is actually what it should be for that,,,, serious punishment. So he confessed JUST so that he could come face charges in America where we merely slap someone's hand. What a ()*&^ JOKE to our justice system!!!! Now he faces a misdemeanor??? Get real! Pull his toenails out, hang him in a field of rattlesnakes and see what happens.
People..... are we NOT over letting sex offenders walk away with a minor little slap on the hand?

Bastrop High School is being stripped of their State Championship win! Right before Hurricane Katrina a coach from South Louisiana got hired at Bastrop High School. Well when Katrina happened the boys wanted the Coach to come and get them, so he went and got them and brought them back to Bastrop, LA where they eventually ended up deciding to stay and live. And the boys decided to play football in bastrop. Bastrop went on to win the state championship. Now a year later on the anniversery of Katrina, Bastrop is being stripped of their title b/c of ruling that the coach was not allowed to go and pick them up. I don't see how this is fair, don't they take into account that these folks lost EVERYTHING, does anyone else have any thoughts on this???

The leader of Lebanon wants to go back to the 1949 boundaries designated for Israel. The Arab countries didn't really accept those boundaries then what's different today?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060830/ap_on_re_mi_ea/mideast_lebanon

Considering the forces massed on Israel's border when the Six Day War I can understand Israel being preemptive in that one. And when Israel was attacked in the 30 Day War the Arab forces lost again. Israel by right of conquest could be even larger than it is today. They have given back ground already. And are willing to give more back. But look at the 1949 boundaries. For strategic reasons why should they agree to go back to those boundaries? What reason would be good enough to even consider going back to the 1949 boundaries?
