Prisons overflow and we foot the bill for their upkeep. Personally - I think they should be packed off into labour camps or thrown into the armed forces where they can at least pay back some of what they've already 'unlawfully' taken. What 'career' should reflect what type of crime?

When Ronald Reagan died the country paid many tributes and I believe the federal government was scheduled off from work to observe his death. Do you think the same will happen now that President Ford has died?

In the Daily Mail, there are reports about the NHS refusing treatment to smokers and obese people, due to their "lifestyle choices" increasing the risk of a particular condition.
Why do the NHS never consider:
(i) Refusal of treatment to drug users that contract hepititis?
(ii) Refusal to treat those that have an illness due to their irresponsible sexual practices. (I am not specifically referring to homosexual people - hence the wording.)

The above two examples are, surely, a lifestyle choice.

In addition, why do the government insist on rewarding school-age girls for breaking the law? There can be no better proof that the age of consent has been breached than a baby. Surely, prosecutions should be threatened or, at least, any benefits withheld under these circumstances.

Before I get dozens of 'thumbs downs' for this - I am not seriously suggesting the three examples should be considered, I'm merely wondering why certain lifestyle choices are shunned.

The Islamic Courts at least brought some form of law and order, while warlords were ruling Somalia for 15 years and killing people. Now that there is law and order, the world sees it a threat.

A national lottery, you pay 25.00 a ticket for the chance to put the noose around his neck. All proceeds would go to assist Hurricane Katrina survivors and poverty stricken families

Isn't the U.S. military supposed to be clamping down on that? What are our tax dollars being used for over there?

North Korea with nukes.
Iran talking smack about the Jews. (can you say "HITLER")
Iran threatning to wipe countries off the map.
China playing economic Sally with US.
Russia and China doing War Games together.
Iraq in a mess.
A Nation divided.
An enemy willing to do things in the name of a "god".
I'm not saying it is the end or anything. Just want your take on the current situation that we all have on our hands.

We seem to have just 29 days left to save Sadam Hussein from death. His life should be spared. Amnesty International is the Human Rights Group to lead an international campaign to save him fron the death penalty.

According to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13163805/ Saddam will be dressed in a jumpsuit, chained, and hooded before he is led to the gallows. Considering what is all at stake, how can we be sure it is really him that is being executed, and not a surrogate that we are being told is Saddam Hussein?

I think man vs. machine war is more likely since no one is crazy enough to start a nuclear war. Thank you.
