I think he should just rot in jail, the free world is not for the death penalty, and it seems we are pushing our culture on them so why wouldn't our governments try to persuade otherwise, like life imprisonment??

He wasn't caught at the scene,but was found sitting in a nearby field with a small group of juveniles.

How could he impress the judge for a lesser sentance?
His name his kahn and he has never done anything this unpheasantly before

As we see results soon pour in to decide what seats get occupied, are you feeling that maybe some of the people who want your vote aren't on the up and up?

I mean, after all the negative campaigning, are you having some apprehension as to the credibility of those who are asking you to govern them?

After all, once in office, ther is no telling how damaging they can make your life given that a lot of laws are enacted without your understanding.

Many of us have had a good run under "W", but that could end abruptly should the two houses tilt against "W".

("W"= What, where, when, why, ?????????????)

Hello everyone! I have posted several questions in the past 3 months since my daughter got molested by a 10 year old neighbor. I just wanted to update those of you on how our trial went today! The judge found the 10 year old guilty of 2nd degree sexual assault and sentenced him to an indefinite probation period stating that 2 years wasn't long enough and that HE would determine when the probation period would end! He also laid out some very strict rules for the 10 y/o's family to follow - such as a 7pm curfew, no alone time with ANY other children including his siblings, no more spending the night with anyone other than grandparents, a community risk assessment to determine his risk of committing this crime again, no more being tardy to school, no more unexcused absences at school, a "'C" average or better in school, etc.... Justice was served today and to all of those who have been praying for us, please know that your prayers were answered today in the form of a GUILTY verdict!

I was in a car wreck a few months ago, and was wondering how much compensation I deserve. I was blind sided by I guy driving a van in the wrong lane. He was going 45-50 when he struck me and was obviously cited. He did not have any insurance therefore mine paid to fix my car. I had two doctor visits and a severely sprained neck. I had a laceration on my head also. I still have back and neck pain as I am sure you would imagine I would receive from a blow like that. My insurance company is going to give me a compensation check, they offered me 600.00 which I feel is an ABSOLUTE insult. What kind of numbers should I request? (500.00 dollars towing + 400.000 deductible + inconvenience etc…)

If the summons to court on a civil case is being persued. Doesn't the court send out a paper with there seal on it and send it directly to the defendant. Or does the plantiff just send it regular mail? But shouldn't it still have the courts seal?

A report by Evangelical Alliance published this week says "violent revolution" should be regarded as a viable response if government legislation encroaches on their religious rights. The church is urged to come to a consensus that "at some point there is not only the right but the duty to disobey the state." Full document is available on web -"Faith and Nation"

This church has 30 million members and is training their children to be soldiers - "Jesus Camp"

Here is the law regarding such a criminal threat to the nation:

Is it legal?

I'd like to buy about 24 (at $3.99 a dozen) and sell them each for a dollar. The profit will go towards a school club.

It would be sold during a school event. But is this legal? I need to know before undertaking such a task.

I live northern Minnesota and I cannot find anything on this matter. Just kinda curious if anyone could point me in the right direction. My land hooks up with another township and I don't know if I have any legal right to prevent anyone from traveling or using my property line to just do whatever it is that they want to do. If anyone could help me get on the right track, I would be much abliged.

so this is the thing: say that someone murdered another and pleads in court and the judge asks "do u plead guilty or not guilty", if he said guilty, then he lives, if not guilty, then he dies. I dont understand the logic behind that. So if u admit to a crime, the sentence is less harsh, why? You still did the crime, and if there is a death penalty, one should recieve it no matter what. What if the person is not guilty and pleads that? he's basically screwed, is he not? Who difference does it make what you plead, it doesnt change anything. Is it just me or are the courts corrupt in this matter?

My brother was arrested today and charged with "scheming to defraud". He was arrested at his employers office (where went to pick up a form . He was fired a couple of weeks ago) . His ex-boss stalled him until the police came. They approached him and told him to put his hands behind his back. My brother asked (calmly) the cops what he was arrested for. They did not answer him nor did they read him his rights. They drove him downtown. He was questioned about hitting the "no sale" key on the cash register. They said they have this and that on tape, but refused to show him. He confidently denied the allegations. With that the detective threatened him with more charges and used the scare tactic speech on him, if he didn't confess. They told him to write out a confession and he refused reminding them of his innocence. They were upset when they couldn't get a confession, so they took him to the county jail facilities. They booked him for "squeming to defraud". Help.

My daughters boyfriend was in high school and this girl keep asking for his prescription medicine which was his for his ADHD. She asked him numerous times and finally he gave into her. She took the pills which was a total of 4. Shes also friends with my daugther. She came over that night and I gave her a ride to the football game, my husband picked up the girls. Well anyways she claimed to have a reaction to the pills which was concerta. The next time in school, she told the prinipal that "Joe" gave her these pills. Needless to say he was suspended for 10 days, taken to juvenile detention, had to go to court. Now he is waiting to go to court again. I guess they are charging him with a felony, maybe not allowed back in high school. This is his 1st offense, never been in trouble before. He received no money for the pills. The girl that took the pills, had asked for these pills for weeks, she lied to the school and said she thought they were asprin, she knew that they were. Any advice?

This Act "permanently eliminates" Habeas Corpus (The right to ask why you are being imprisoned). Once you have been imprisoned and are not allowed to ask why, have you lost all of your other rights ?

2. The right of the people to keep and bear arms.

3. No soldier shall be quartered in any house without the owners permission.

4. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.

5. No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime , unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury: Nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

6. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.

7. In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.

8. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

lets leave religion and arguing whether its a baby or not at the door okay folks.


If a building was being demolished and out of the thousands of people there: one person claims to have seen someone enter the building, is it ethical for the building to be demolished as planned (without making absolutely sure no one was in there)?

If there is any chance of human life being inside, no matter how slight, its ethically wrong to go ahead and do something that would end that life?

As long as there is the SLIGHTEST POSSIBILITY that its a real baby from the moment of conception, is it wrong to kill it?

We don't need to prove its a baby. While there is still a chance it COULD, be a baby, u have to prove it isn't, if u dont want it to be constitutionally wrong to have an abortion.
