A man shoots some dogs and could get up to five years, yet a women shoots and kills her husband and gets a few months in jail and a couple of months in a mental institution.
We are, justifiably, making a big deal about a male sex offender in California, yet a female sex offender, with multiple counts against her, gets a slap on the wrist.

Why is this a political question? When our "President" proudly proclaims that God told him to invade Iraq, when a growing number in the House, Senate and Supreme Court are openly Fundamentalist or less openly Dominionist I think it's safe to say that the separation between church and state has been breached if not obliterated. Many on the far right are saying there never was such a separation, or never should have been. What, then is the character of this new Jesus who guides our country? Has "Love thy neighbor as thyself." become "Love thy neighbor as thyself, as long as he attends the same church"? Has "Turn the other cheek." become "Turn the other cheek. Then deck the one who slapped you."? Dominionist preacher Rod Parsley has exuberently called his "Christian" followers to war against homosexuls, liberals, or any others who refuse to follow the black and white Dominionist dogma. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." or "Find the sin in others and bury them."?

Why should the quality of life for the same work be higher in the USA than in Mexico? And given that it will be, why is it fair to tell people that they just can't have that because they were born in Mexico? Is it right that someone on welfare in America can afford more luxuries than a hard-worker in Mexico? If someone from Mexico is willing to leave his life behind and work hard in America for low pay, should he have the chance, instead of being forced to choose between immigrating illegally, and staying home and living in poverty?

I went to a mental hopital along with some of my relatives, not knowing that it was a mental hospital. there i was virtually kidnapped and locked up for no reason in a dungeon like place they called the high risk ward. i wasn't given any reason for my detention, there was no documentry evidence to prove that I was abnormal. I'm well aware that under the mental health amendment act of 1987 there is no provision of punish ment against a doctor for unnecessary detention. but can I appealm to the Indian medical association or some other body for the same? Can I sue the hospital for compensation? I was admitted under a fake name. Will this affect my case in any way? Can I sue my relative also? And if so what shoyuld be my first step? should i lodge an FIR first. And how is unnecessary detention proved in court? If any lawyer is reading this, please help.

And you don't have to answer this but for whom and why?

If you are not going to vote, do you realize how wrong that is and what a cop out it is, and that your NON VOTE all these years might have made a difference in the direction the world has proceeded?

Do you not realize that there is POWER in numbers and alone you are nothing?

I was sent home today because I have a monroe piercing and as much as I tried to take it out,it wouldn't budge. They claim they told me at orientation that I'd have to take it out but they definately didn't. They barely spoke to me about anything at orientation. Is this right? Everyone there has earrings. Which is the same thing..a piece of metal in your body. So I'm just wondering if someone can get in trouble for this. I mean I've heard of a guy suing mcdonalds for being overweight and winning. So would I have any chance if I did take it to court?

when confronted about the anti-constitutional aspects of the patriot acts and this present administrations domestic spying programs and databases neocons often come back with the question "how have your freedoms been infringed or damaged by this legislation?" implying that it is and should not be of any concern to American citizens that the constitution is being abridged.

So my question above relies on this same logic, implying that since the overwhelming majority of Americans have in no way been significantly impacted by terrorists, they are and should not be of any concern to Americans and that the Bush administration has greatly inflated the genuine threat posed by terrorists.

I mean, you can still just make counterfeits of the old bill. Like 2 dollar bills, they stopped making those like forever ago, but if you have one, it's still worth two dollars. When they produce a new bill, you can still make counterfeits of the old design and it's still worth the same amount.

For all the vitrol and drool the Rightwingoids seem so eager to spew around here over every piece of news that comes along, they are remarkably silent on "Mr.Gonzo the Patriot Boy" so far. All of a sudden they are harder to find than Weapons of Mass Distraction or Dick Cheney's moral fiber. Have we finally found, in an administration full of Browns, Ashcrofts and Rumsfelds, an official so horribly incompetent that even the frothing attack poodles of the YA George Bush rah-rah squad are too embarassed to heap weak, too-late accolades upon him?

Many scientists including James Hansen, quite possibly the foremost climate scientist on the planet, think the predictions made by the IPCC report are actually too conservative:

"Certain positive feedback effects, as well as recent data on the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, were not included in the IPCC's report. "Because of the cumbersome IPCC review process, they exclude recent information," Prof. Hansen says, "so they are very handicapped."

Richard Peltier agrees. A University of Toronto physicist and the director of the Centre for Global Change Science, he works on mathematical models to explain the melting and freezing dynamics of the Greenland ice sheet and has contributed to the IPCC publications - but even he agrees that their assumptions tend to be "extremely conservative."

I suppose climate scientists who gather and examine the data directly are just alarmists too?
