Why do women always get lighter court sentences than men?

Why is it that when a drunk driver kills another person, he/she is only charged with manslaughter or vehicular homicide? Shouldn't they be charged with first or second degree murder. The way I see it, if a person gets behind the wheel after they have been drinking, they're saying to the world that they don't care if they kill anyone or not.

I look at my paycheck and I think "what a hell?!" they tax like crazy and all this they say they spend to improve our lives.... but in what way it's improving? It's harder to get a job... It's harder to live.... They cut the corners everywhere... but not the taxes... I look at the map and I see Iraq.... that's where may this bloody money go... Do you think the same?

I understand that some retirees are ordered to give their wives a chunk of their military pension. Is there some minimum federal standard? Does this have to be declared by a federal judge? Can a state judge make the decision? Is there a standard amount? Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with sources.

HOW AMERICAN "CONSERVATIVES" ARE THE BOBBSEY TWINS OF ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS:

1) Both reject the idea that government and religion should be kept separate. Government should enforce THEIR religion.

2) Both are highly offended by sexual freedom, and demand that sexuality be purged from society.

3) Both despise Liberalism.

4) Both resent dissent from their views and policies, which are the oly acceptable ones.

5) Both are harsh, punitive, and vindictive.

It is not ironic that American "conservatives" have made an enemy out of Isalmic extremists. In looking at them, they see a reflection of themselves, so they understand well what they're dealing with: Tyrants much like themselves.

how is that no getting free healthcare? Can a day worker pay for triple bypass? 80,000 dollars or more ..hell no..who pays ..american insurance payers.....They might get billed....but that doesn't mean they pay..half the time they don't even bother billing them.


Why is it assumed that illegals don't get free healthcare when almost all do...some even use fake ID ss# for nice state clinics for all sorts of free medicade care including shrinks....so piss off with that argument already

What right does the U.S. or any other nation have to prohibit another nation from possessing nuclear weapons? Why is it fine for the U.S. or Israel to have nuclear weapons, but not Iran or North Korea? Is it because we are "good", and they are "evil"? Or is there some historic treaty I am unaware of that the world signed on to at some point that said that a few countries could have nukes, but that's it?

"A world where [North Korea | Iran] has nuclear capabilities is not a safe world". I don't know if anyone has said that verbatim, but I can say I agree with that statement. But until there is evidence that they plan to harm another nation without provocation, what right do we have to do anything about it?

Yes, I know Kim Jun Ill has starved 3 million of his own people. So why don't we invade North Korea to stop *this*?

Is a nation's treatment of its own people the benchmark by which its "right" to have nuclear weapons is determined?

In the same general time frame, where we increased
3 fold since 1919, Mexico has grown twice as fast,
and ALMOST NOBODY IMMIGRATES INTO MEXICO TO
STAY, (over the long haul). They will eat our nation for lunch. Six fold population increase in 85 years, PLUS there are 48 million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans here by some estimations. Good bye AMERICA...here comes GREATER MEXICO!!!! This is the REAL manifestation of MONTEZUMA'S REVENGE!!!

Some people say "Bush lied" about WMDs. If that's true, then he had to know, or at least believe, they were NOT there. Is that what people really believe? Just curious. Thanks.

like white guilt for stealing America and slavery and iperialism
or
look at the poor oppressed black person or latino person .his/her life is going to be hard because they are a minority ....what if the newborn just wants to be judged on his own merit?...it's kind of like socio-political abortion

can we please stop using race as an issue in immigration in f-king 2006?.. It is so disgusting and cowardly

If you thinkjust a little past your ignorance you realize that no race owes any other race anything and there is no biological link to superiority or inferiority among races..therefore any racial rhetiric is automatically craven crap of whiners, mental cases, and slow people

This question is all about the second amendment. I'd appreciate any liberal answers. Why do some people want to disarm good, law-abiding people. The crime-rate has dropped 50% since the concealed carry permits became available. If you came home, to find an adult raping your daughter, and he had a knife, and you had a gun, what would you do? Guns are central to our country. And by the way, since the constitution says that a well formed militia can have guns, the government can't disarm any of the thousands of civilian militia paramilitary groups because they are legal militias. As a member of the NRA, I will fight to the death for American's right to bear arms. Anti-gun people can leave, because we don't want them. Go to Japan, or Canada, or England, or Australia. You'll fit in. But, Gode damn it, this is America! The Government can't disarm us while we still breathe. They'd have to kill us all.

Some people assert that lawyers are unethical, on the premise that they lie. But what people fail to realize is that lawyers are passionately supporting their clients. Lawyers have an ethical duty to their clients, more so than to themselves. They must defend their clients at all costs.

The stereotype of lawyers being liars is a fallacy. There is good and bad in everything.

My question isn't limited to the province of attorneys- I am also curious about other aspects of our legal system.

Do you think that our laws originate from Roman law, or English law (laws here in the United States, that is)?
