A woman was molested and she was ordered to be lashed for going to a mall without a "guardian". The three men who raped her were given light sentences. She was initially sentenced to be given 90 lashes. After a second lawyer appealed the ruling it was more than doubled to 200 lashes. A judge dismissed her first lawyer for daring to defend her.

"Under law in Saudi Arabia, women are subject to numerous restrictions, including a strict dress code, a prohibition on driving and a requirement that they get a man's permission to travel or have surgery. Women are also not allowed to testify in court unless it is about a private matter that was not observed by a man, and they are not allowed to vote."

If this is not the kind of law you want for America you had better start protecting your rights now because they are slowly being eroded away. I'll be surprised if this post lasts more than eight hours.

According to news sources, the coroner assumed it was death by drowning because her hair was wet and her fingers wrinkled. Yet there was no water in the tub. Wouldn't that have raised suspicions?

And she had left letters with her sister, just in case something happened to her.

So didn't her family ask for an autopsy?

She was going through a divorce with Drew, she was fighting to get half of his pension, there had been 18 domestic calls on record, why wasn't this invesigated as a possible homicide at the time?

New evidence has come out (if you believe in Mark Fuhrman, I have my doubts about him) that says Stacey caught Drew literally red handed on the night of the murder. Her and Kathleen had had their own hair pulling fights so Stacey was probably not mourning Kathleen's death but what on earth would possess someone to stay with a killer and have 2 children with him?

Drew had to be close to 56 when their last child was born. Isn't that kind of old to become a dad again?

the official closing of the Natalee Holloway murder/missing case? I'm sorry, but with no body, you just have no case. It's as simple as that. I'm sorry what happened to her, obviously she was murdererd, but we don't know for sure if it was by Joran van der Sloot and the 2 Kalpoe brothers. The best anyone can do as Americans is BOYCOTT visiting Aruba. Let these kids get on with their lives. There is no case. No evidence, no body. Am I wrong?

I cloned this account, I am not the real Darcy, well what a shock I got in my inbox. Girls throwing themselves at me, Moon Witch was gagging for it, Rosie putting her foot in it. Its such a shame they didnt realise who I was really. So now Lexy has been exposed for being the little tramp troll she really is and all those who said they recieved vile emails from her in the past have been exposed as telling the truth.
Saturnfive, Shady and Shambo were all victims of her lies.
So I would just like to say Thankyou to Rosie for being the biggest gobshite ever and Lexy my question is: Who else could you be?
Are you ever bullied?

And I should have a great finale
Someone who I know, posed as Darcy38, and received this insightful email. Bear in mind Lexy's real name is Leigh

Hello Darcy38

You have received a message from another user!

From: Rosie

Subject: Is it you or a clone?

Message: Hi Leigh, Are you posting as Darcy38 again or is it a clone? They are everywhere at the moment. The person posting as Sootsayer, for example, is definitely a clone!
If it's you, welcome back!
all the best, Jan

I find myself thinking about the number of shootings executed by young men this year. It is truly heartbreaking that they felt so badly, so angry, they felt the need to conduct a violent retribution against their society, against their fellow human beings. There was Seung Hui-Cho, the 23 year old South Korean English major from Virginia Tech who killed 32 people back in April before killing himself. There was Asa Coon, the 14 year old boy who injured 4 people before killing himself at Success Tech Academy in Ohio in October. There was Pekka-Eric Auvinen, the 18 year old student who killed 9 people in Jokela Secondary School in Finland before killing himself in November. There was 19 year old Robert A. Hawkins, who killed 9 people in Westroads Mall in Nebraska on December 5th before killing himself. And there was 24 year old Matthew J. Murray, who killed 5 people at the churches Colorado YWAM and New Life in Colorado on December 9th before killing himself.

San Francisco's major has suggested this tax, which I think is a very good idea. It could help in the fight against dental cavities in young children and obesity in adults as well as younger people. If huge taxes can be levied against beer why not soft drinks as well?
