"Almost 400 women have been slain in Juarez since 1993, about 100 of them in similar ways, generally involving rape, strangulation and mutilation.

There's no record of any deportations in the 1990s, but Granados pleaded guilty in 2001 to felony cocaine possession in exchange for 10 years probation and a promise to stay in Mexico and out of trouble. The probation was to be revoked if Granados re-entered the United States illegally, got caught with drugs or committed any crimes.

Granados did all that and more: Since receiving the probated sentence, he's been arrested, charged or convicted on county, state and federal offenses in the United States at least six times, records show. His latest charge came in January, when he grabbed a television set in the county jail and smashed it on the floor, according to an El Paso sheriff's deputy."

That was in El Paso, a sanctuary city, however, and I guess they don't like deportation orders.

What do you think?

The German people of the late 1930s imagined themselves to be brave. They saw themselves as the heroic Germans depicted by the Wagnerian Operas, the descendants of the fierce Germanic warriors who had hunted wild boar with nothing but spears and who had defeated three of Rome's mightiest legions in the Tuetenberg Forest.
But in truth, by the 1930s, the German people had become civilized and tamed, culturally obsessed with fine details in both science and society. Their self-image of bravery was both salve and slavery. Germans were required to behave as if they were brave, even when they were not.
It's easy to look back and realize what happened. But at the time the Hitler administration, with the help of the media, looked pretty good to the German people. Hitler was TIME Magazine's Man Of The Year in 1938; the German people assumed they were safe from a tyrant. They lived in a Republic, after all, with strict laws regarding what the government could and more importantly could not do. Their leader was a devoutly religious man, and had even sung with the boy's choir of a monastery in his youth.

To run a public event like a fete or fairground what kind of legality issues would you have. Would you need insurance to cover any problems, or would the people who run the individual stalls (like fairground ride, or hot dog kiosk) have that insurance. Please help. Thanks.

President Bush, your leader! Bush always seems to fall short, at answering straight forward questions. The same can be said about his followers on Yahoo answers. Bush always resorts to mumblings and cursing, the same can be said about his supporters on Yahoo answers. Bush is in par with the ape species, in regards to his intelligence. The same can be said about his believers on Yahoo answers.

The parrots on here never seize to amaze me, instead you make me laugh, which is a good thing. It does wonders for my heart and state of mind. It's healthy to smile and feel happy. Your arrogance and mind boggling stunts at avoiding the real questions, jumping to name calling and hysterical assumptions also amuses me. =)

Oversized superiority complex's do not compensate for your already shrunken brain. It only fuels our belief and reassures us, thus realizing that you are living your lives blindly, and following a false cause.

The US crime rate is the highest among developed nations. Why is this?
Is it because of bad policy?
Is is because the lack of religion in people's lives?
Is it because of the degenerate media?
Is it because of the immigrants?
Is it because of the Freedom citizens enjoy, to do good, and bad?
Is it because of something else entirely?
And why is this? Motivate your answer.

Please be tolerant in your answers.

I'm living in a Muslim country but I'm an atheist. Qur'an has very strict and weird rules and it totally demeans women, like I cannot even start to express how awful it is. BUT the majority of Muslims didn't read the book or even when they do, they don't apply those rules. So there are Muslims who live like they have no religion and this is the majority.
But when I see people talking about Muslims being bad people, I hate this generalization.
There are terrorists with many aims and one of the worst is the Radical Islamic Terrorist. They have read and believed in every single thing Qur'an says. They have started a war upon the Non-Islamic religions and they would even kill the Muslims who do not abide the rules.
So there are terrorists but not all the Muslims are terrorists.
Stereotyping is very harmful and if that is a terrorist group, people should blame THAT GROUP.
When will the world be clear of this idea?

Each criminal offender convicted of X crime will be given the option of prison or to use this program. Prison keeps offenders from offering anything to society, they are locked up with people who school them on how to commit more crime, they are subject to an environment which breeds more hate and crime, criminals often come out worse than ever, and the cost is tremendous as well as plenty of other issues.

My program gives an offender the option to remain on the outside of prison walls yet still be just as harmless to the public as if he were imprisoned. A shocking device will be attactched to the offender's body. A transmitter is installed so that whenever the device is not 100% funtional, it will alert another device which will in turn alert authorities to the offender's location where he can then be apprehended. A device is also implanted in the prisoners body which can be activated to release a drug to put him to sleep. This is mainly for when the shocking collar quits working or is tampered with in some way, so that authorities have plenty of time to track the offender down to fix the problem.

Every non offender is issued a device which alerts them when an offender is near. This device also can be used to activate the shocker if need be. Giving non offenders a definite defense against criminals.

In other words, all non offenders to X crimes will have the ability to render any offender to X crimes harmless upon command. Devices could also be installed in people's homes that could prevent any offender from entering without getting shocked.

The cost will probably be much much less than it is now. Since the offenders will be free to work, we may be able to collect fines from the to pay for the program. It will surely be much cheaper than prison costs. It cost something like 30k per year to keep a prisoner last time I heard.

This basically accomplishes the same things as prison, but with less loss to society. They will still be free for the most part, they just won't be free to commit crimes! This would seem to be a good plan to me.

A miserable milestone was passed the other day. America's (and Britain's) disastrous war in Iraq has now lasted longer than the US involvement in the Second World War. Yes, this conflict has outlasted a war that ended with total victory over Nazi Germany. Hitler declared war on the US on 11 December 1941. Exactly 1,244 days later, on 7 May 1945, Germany surrendered. The US invaded Iraq on 19 March 2003, and this weekend it is 1,267 days later, with no end in sight.

Our thoughts go out to the Iraqi people, who have to put up with the stench of foreign occupation, on a daily basis.
