religion, why this should not be allowed?
to my mind this could be viewed as the ultimate act of contrition....and if a person feels that way...what point does it serve to unnecessarily prolong such a persons life?

I'm a 40 something woman working in the same type job for over 20 years (blue collar job). This 1 guy is such a jerk to me, making crank calls to my desk, being openly hostile and even nudging another coworker, pointing to me, and saying (within my hearing range), "isn't that a sad sack of ****?" Complaints don't help.

Ok what you think of these punishments as a way to deal with crooks.

House breaking-First offence 2 years hard labour ,any further burglaries and then they break your hands with a large hammer and also 5 years in jail.

Pre mediated murder-To be executed in the same manner they killed their victim.

Car thiefs-They have to join a specially made army unit for 3 years undertaking dangerous missions in Afghanistan and the like.

Rapists-They are welded into a chasity belt for the rest of their days.

Woman who falsley cry rape-Same as above

This is just me thinking of some hardcore detterents.

What do you think or do you have some ideas yourself?

Let people know that crime is in fact a punishment. Make them sweat and toil out in the elements and feel really exhausted at the end of the day. No tv or snooker or games. Actual punishment for crime. Would this have any effect?

I just joined yesterday. My landlord had the balls to come to my house (without calling or anything) and talked me into joining this crap. Yea I should not have done it, but I did it. It was so uncomfortable and I felt backed into a corner, b/c he is my landlord. I have been researching this and I want to cancel it, like now. So......help.....please...

My landlord is the kind of person which dont fix things around the house. We tell him about a number of things like the hot pipes that are not cover and where people can get burned and hewould never cover them. It would take like seriously a few minutes to cover them. And also about the porch that is falling apart. Now to say if one of his tenants get hurt from him not taking care of his problems that he should of. Can he be sued if one of his tenants get hurt?

There is a two lane road one going one direction, the other going in another direction. I was pulling into the gas station, so i putted onmy blinker and stop. Because I had to wait for the traffic to clear so i can get into the gas station. There was a truck behind me and was in a little bit of a rush, so he decided to go around me , over the little white line. i didnt see him over there and plus he wasnt suppose to be over there. i than realize and changed my mind that i really dont need gas right now. when i took off my blinker off and proceeded to go straight. our trucks met. if i didnt have inspection on my truck. Could i still sue that person for there wrong doing and for me having pain in my neck and back.

Our parents had a will drawn up which leaves their house to us in trust, so that if one of them died first, their half of the house would be left to us, and the remaining parent would not be forced to sell their house if they are in need of care in the future.

My Mother died, and my Father is now worrying because he doesn't know if they were supposed to actually set up a trust fund, or whether the wording on the will was enough.

Does anyone know what, if anything, he needs to do?

Or maybe my adoptive parents should get the money. Including the fees they paid to adopt me in the first place. It's no wonder birth parents are kept hidden. They owe so much. They don't let a mother or father abandon his family and not pay child support, so how can the two together get away with abandoning an infant?

In a public meeting, may the Chair make a motion? It's my understanding that Roberts' Rules of Order do not allow the Chair to make a motion, but I have not found the specific reference. If Roberts Rules do not permit the Chair to make a motion, but nevertheless the Chair does make a motion, without objection, and the body passes the motion, is the action binding? Thank you.

I have recently moved home and I'm now finding that the person who moved into my old house has been opening my mail, calling the senders and giving them my new address. I advised anyone of importance of my new address so she is opening things like those credit card application forms etc which is a bit of a concern.

Okay. Some had stolen my cell phone. When I called it that person answered it. They quickly hung up when I inquired who they were. After consulting my cell phone provider I found out that this person downloaded 55 ringtones and text messaged up a storm. That's not the problem because the cell phone company reversed all of the charges. The problem is, on my cell phone are photos and short videos that are very sentimental (a video of my 2 year old daughter before she was killed by a drunk driver dancing) and other special photos. I want this phone back for those reasons only. (the service has been cancelled and a new phone is on the way). I have all of the numbers that the theif had called. I want to call them to plead with them to contact the person to leave my phone somewhere so that i can retrieve it. What should I say when I call?
