A 27 year old man was recently sentenced to 150 1/2 years in prison for kidnapping and r aping a 17yr old girl in New Hampshire.

http://www.wmur.com/news/10591193/detail.html

Do you think the sentence is a good one? Does your local law enforcement treat sex offenders this harshly?

I am curious about what the sentence would have been in other states.


PS I am also curious why I have posted 2 other versions of this question and have not seen them posted

I was watching a cold war documentary where a former Russian era politician said that the American announcement of the deployment of the Neutron Bomb (or Enhanced Radiation Warhead) evened the playing field in Europe between the numerically superior Warsaw Pact armor and NATO. I'd like to know if the enhanced radiation warhead is still in active arsenals anywhere? (Israel maybe????)

Against Santa?

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22122006/368/town-bans-santa.html

"The people of Hazleton, PA are proud to announce a citizen-organized public awareness campaign called "No Santa for Hazleton." The campaign will use Santa Claus' status as America's most-loved illegal worker to demonstrate Hazleton's new "zero tolerance" policy toward illegal aliens.

Mercifully for Hazleton's children, the authorities will not be able to pop a cap in Father Christmas's illegal *** this Xmas, since the Illegal Immigrant Relief Act has been "temporarily blocked by a federal judge pending a lawsuit against the town brought by immigrant supporters, including the American Civil Liberties Union". A hearing in 2007 will decide Santa's fate. "

I support Hazelton trying to protect its schools and town. However, I thought this was hilarious.

A majority of the American people, 55 percent, no longer believe Bush shares their values. They also are not sure if he is honest and trustworthy or if he understands complex issues, a CNN poll released Thursday reports http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2006/12/poll-bush-not-trustworthy-doesnt-share.html

My friend made a good point to me once. He said something along the lines of: After WW2 Germany was a smoldering hole in the ground. They had no military, economy, or resources. But look at them today, 65 years later, they're a world super power. And they didn't get help from anybody. They relied on their own hard work and will to better themselves.

Think on that.

It seems like every time I see a cop they are complete jerks. I know they aren't supposed to be super nice and gentle when they're on the job busting criminals, but can they be anymore of an a-..? Something I also noticed is their tone of voice. They talk to people in a certain tone as if they're overall just better than the people and treats them like retards. I often see this on Cops as well as when I personally experienced talking to one.

The police's past brute actions (e.g. UFC student being mercilessly, needlessly and repeatedly tazered for a lightweight reason.) don't really help lessen this image either.

Bush “Developing Illegal Bioterror Weapons” for Offensive Use
Quote

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

In violation of the US Code and international law, the Bush administration is spending more money (in inflation-adjusted dollars) to develop illegal, offensive germ warfare than the $2 billion spent in World war II on the Manhattan Project to make the atomic bomb.

So says Francis Boyle, the professor of international law who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act of 1989 enacted by Congress. He states the Pentagon “is now gearing up to fight and ‘win’ biological warfare” pursuant to two Bush national strategy directives adopted “without public knowledge and review” in 2002.

The Pentagon’s Chemical and Biological Defense Program was revised in 2003 to implement those directives, endorsing “first-use” strike of chemical and biological weapons (CBW) in war, says Boyle, who teaches at the University of Illinois, Champaign.

My friend has a daughter and he allowed me to have her for the evening. I made a small mistake in her grooming and the Father called it a "HUGE MISTAKE". I told him to "count me out as a friend". He got angry and replied"I will do that completely and I will show you how!! I am taking out a lawsuit out to wipe you of the face of the earth....$500,000 for damages to my child. I was in shock!!! He is greedy...gets some of his money perhaps through this way in business matters . I do not want this lawsuit, but if it becomes one ....what is the reason i said "count me out as a friend"? He says because I have no remorse for what I did and don't care about his kid and so and so on....
I sent an apology letter and he says it is evidence I am wrong and he will be awarded money based on the apology letter. I have a phone call he made to be about the letter ....does not appreciate such letters as such etc etc. What was wrong with my words???? I am baffled by all this nonsense. Child is fine.

Prosecutor`s office in Russian city of Khabarovsk has finished investigating the case of a U.S. serviceman accused of killing a Russian relative of his wife and has handed it over to a court, Regnum news agency reports.

The U.S. Embassy has identified the suspect as Christopher Garner, an active-duty enlisted soldier based at Fort Bragg, N.C. The embassy did not give his rank. He was on leave when the slaying took place.

29-year-old Christopher Garner was charged with strangling his wife’s uncle in September in Khabarovsk and then dumping his body in a nearby village, regional prosecutors said.
