Within the past six months, I have received a disturbing amount of police reports regarding juvenile males having sex with 12-13 year old girls. I have charged every suspect with a felony crime.

In my State, sexual intercourse with a person between the age of 13-16 is a felony if the suspect is at least 24 months older.

I am tired of listening to the defense attorneys tell me how a 13 year old girl is a "slut" and therefore their client should skate away with no consequence.

Am I wrong here? Am I so old at age 35 that I am missing the boat?

Remember that every juvenile defendant convicted must register as a predatory sex offender --which is something that the defense attorneys prattle on about: "he is too young to categorize as a lifelong sex offender based upon one stupid mistake when he was 17..."

What do you think?

say im talking to someone online. i use AIM to talk to people, sometimes just mess around with them, nothing serious. but now theres this guy that says hes 20, and my supposed character is a 17 year old girl. he obiously wants to meet me to do some stuff. i just want to know who can i contact, that would catch this guy. say i tell him to meet me at 123 fake street, hackler, massachuesets (example), can i just tell the police to show up at that address when i told him i would meet him.

basically in a nutshell: its like im doing the dateline undercover thing for predators, but im a vigilante. i just want to know who i contact so that they catch this guy.

Since it is commonly agreed by the scientific community that it is 90% likely that humans cause greenhouse gases, wouldn't we be responsible for our own pending holocaust?

In the military, everyone who wears a uniform is considered a front line soldier. If the draft should be re-instated, should allowances be made for conscientious objectors for members of the military who are not members of the clergy or physicians (to include nurses and professionally trained medical staff in civilian life).

Is it fair for the front line serviceman/woman who is carrying a weapon to put his/her life on the line, while someone else refuses to carry a weapon based solely on a moral belief?

Should anyone's belief in any God, or moral conviction, be the sole reason to sufficiently disqualify that person from carrying a weapon while serving in the Armed Forces of the U.S.?

Should everyone who is physically and mentally qualified to serve in the Armed Forces be required to carry a weapon.

Your thoughts on conscientious objectors...

first of all it was the red indians, most tribes exterminated of the thier home soil for good, then the black slaves, then the chinese labourers,the japanese(two atom bombs dropped on civillian cities not the jap army), then the koreans,then a vietnames, then the south americans(columbia,nicaragua,etc), then,then the grenadians,the libyans,somalians, not iraqis and other arab races. only a handfull about 5 per cent were white,(germany,serbians).SO LETS PUT THIS INTO CONTEXT,95% OF PEOPLE KILLED BY AMERICANS IN HISTORY WERE NON WHITE( 20 MILLION IN TODAYS FIGURES) AND ONLY 5% WERE WHITE. TO ME AND THE REST OF THE WORLD THIS MAKES THE SO CALLED HOLOCAUST LIKE LIKE A SMALL SCALE INCIDENT. WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK? AND WHY DOES THE U.S ARMY ISSUE HELMET EXACTLY RESEMBLE THE WAFFEN S.S HELMET,IS THAT A COINCIDENCE TOO?

I am 19 years old and just received a citation for a moving violation(I ran a stop sign) in Northern California(City of Cupertino). The car and insurance are under my father's name. Obviously, I'd get a point off if I were to just pay the fine, but if I paid the fine myself and went to traffic school, would my parents ever find out? Like would they receive a call or a notice in the mail(like a little note on the next insurance bill). I know the best thing to do would be to tell them, but I'd rather just deal with it myself and avoid the lecture.

While not stellar news this poll should make us all take heart that slowly but surely we're returning to our to a more centrist world view, it took years to ruin it so we should be glad there's improvement in our perception of our government, do you agree this is a good start? If not why, is it that your personal agenda isn't being served as opposed to the will of the majority?

According to studies the world's population would be more 9 billion in 40 years. Resources are not even provided to half of the 6 billion we have now. Will we have to resort to the most radical populatio control procedures?

I was looking at it in the USA Today the other day... Tuesday or Wednesday, whatever day they run it...

but it was interesting... the broadcast news stations (ABC, NBC, CBS) were all much higher than Fox, like 8 million viewers to 2 or 3 million viewers... I didn't know that?

and overall, their highest ranked show, O'rieley, only had 2 or 3 million viewers... and granted, it's more than any other cable news network... but in the end... it's still only 3 million out of 300 million people? that's like 1 perecent of all Americans that watch Fox News...

I just found it interesting... Fox is leading cable news ratings... but these numbers show... no one watches cable news... relative to the overall population...
