As you know, most state determine whether a larceny is a felony or a misdemeanor based on the value of the property and the cops wanted to make it easier for the prosecutor to get these guys serving years in prison whether than months even though it really is a petty crime that really doesn't warrant such a sentence. Isn't this typical and immoral of the kind of police tactics used by today's law enforecment(e.g. civil asset forfeiture, set ups, reverse stings, etc.)??? And people wonder why citizens don't respect government or agents of the state.

In the UK we have a much more relaxed view of life.......

Drinking is part of our culture - going to the pub to get smashed is looked up to not frowed upon.
In Scotland drinking is mandatory!!!

Sex at 16 is perfectly fine.

Religion is generally ignored.
Bible bashers are usually ridiculed.

I'd like your comments seeing as we have a lower crime rate and much much less gun crime than yourselves.
I wonder whether the US's problems are due to it's over conservative atmosphere and fierce patriotism.

I haven't seen anyone.
And I find that very strange, because millions of people in Pakistan who know the situation very well seem to believe this.
But nobody in the U.S. media will discuss it.
Interesting.

This is a very long story so I will do my best to make it as short as I can I'm married to a man in the Army,Back in 06 while he was in Iraq, He cut of all communication with me.This was completely out of the blue and devastated me as we have two kids.I was a S @HM and was forced out of my home and had to start over again.He would not have much contact with me after this, other than to curse at me and make me feel like a failure.I moved to another state where I had friends and started my life over again.Meanwhile, he was still overseas.I couldn't understand what would make him feel that he needed to do that, and explained to my oldest(at the time was 5)that daddy was just sick.When he came back we rarely spoke at all, being states away from each other and he failed to even have contact with the kids.
Yesterday he opened up to me, explaining the tramatic things that happened while he was gone.He said he was pushing us away in fear that he would die.He says he wants me back.

It is the law in Pakistan...as in the U.S....that all deaths of a violent or suspicious nature require an autopsy. Yet Bhutto was buried without one. Pakistan authorities have refused the help of an International Agency to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. At first, it was said she was shot in the neck and chest. Then they said it was shrapnel wounds. Then the story changed, and they said she died from hitting her head on the edge of the car. Although the Bush Administration blames Al Queda, there is no verification of this and, without an autopsy, no way to know what killed her.

From messages written to a friend in the U.S., it seems this woman was begging for security protection. She had come to Pakistan at the request of the U.S. government and Condoleezza Rice talked to her by phone just before she left exile. Wouldn't you think that Bush would have insisted that Musharraf give her adequate protection? Wouldn't you think that an autopsy was needed?

consider "enemies," and used the big stick of US military power but also actually give them a chance to talk about our mutual long-term goals etc. in a respectful man-to-man (or woman?) way.

You never know what good might come from even just one of these meetings, worst case we just blow the crap out of them like we would anyway.

Hi, I'm a 15year old guy(yes I know my av's a girl and that's because I'm a m2f transgender living as a guy for now but that isn't important) and I'm a huge fan of Grand Theft Auto(practically the only masculine thing I'm into) and have got every game so far accept GTA London and GTA IV and I can't wait until I have the set. Now there's this store in town called Playtime Multimedia and I'm a regular customer there and all the staff there know me really well and know what games my Mum allows me to have. Now really I should have a parent or guardian come in with me when getting a game like GTA as it is 18 rated and I'm 15 but at this store seen as they know me so well they let me have what ever game I want and the only rule they follow is that when I'm trading in they won't give me cash for my own safety without a parent or guardian and I only can trade for other games.
Is it illegal this store selling me 18 rated games without a parent or guardian as I'm only 15years old?
Just to say I'm from the UK.

Fascism rejects the liberal doctrines of individual autonomy and rights, political pluralism, and representative government, yet it advocates broad popular participation in politics and may use parliamentary channels in its drive to power. Its vision of a "new order" clashes with the conservative attachment to tradition-based institutions and hierarchies, yet fascism often romanticizes the past as inspiration for national rebirth.

"Many conservatives insist that the Nazis were an example of a 'socialist' government as part of their effort to discredit socialism and leftist policies in general. This is rather like using the example of East Germany, the German Democratic Republic, to discredit democracy: it demonstrates the speaker's inability to comprehend reality."
Fascism is not a form of socialism.
