Why can't we go to justice being an "Eye for an Eye". I think criminals and sex offenders would stop doing what they do. I have heard that Texas, my wonderful state I live in, is trying to pass a law that sex offenders would be executed after their second offense of molesting a child! I think that is the best idea! This country needs to stop being a pansy *** and start frying these jerks that keep killing people or molesting people. They are sick in the head! Why do we need to keep them around? Fry the bastards!

What if the propaganda takes on the look of a real news story? A popular book or song? A court case? A contrived election intended to sway public opinion locally or abroad? Or better still, a completely bogus, albeit real-looking, government-created internet website created for the sole purpose of changing public opinions, all under the guise of being something from, say, pop culture?

Is misleading the public with propaganda on any level at all ethical, even when it is for the overall "good of the public?" Do good lies really exist? And is social engineering fair in a free society?

Our landlord [Mr. G] has been showing our apartment for almost 4 weeks now and its driving us nuts.
About 3 weeks ago he told my husband to rearrange some stuff in our place. When my husband pointed out some flaws and that this place wasn't that great, the Mr G said he wanted to hang a picture [over an existing crack in the wall].
When he came (not to show it) my husband wouldn't let him in and then the jerk [Mr G]kicked him in the gonads. My husband called the police and the cop told Mr G that he had no business telling us how to live in the space that we had paid for.
He calls 4 and 5 times a week [24 hours in advance, like he is supposed to, according to California law] But he says he is having an 'open house' from 8 am to 6 pm, at least twice a week. Then he traipses thru here abo
A few days ago, he threatened us with a 3 day notice of eviction because we left dirty dishes on the counter [no dishwasher] saying we violated a section in the lease [which is incorrect].

i know my roomate stole my laptop, when she suddenly moved out so she wouldnt have to pay for damages to the apartment. I dont think calling the cops will do anything, bc its in her new apartment and they probably wont look through her house to find it right? My room was unlocked (my fault i know) but no one else lives there beside us, and the probablilty of getting robbed is never heard of there. She knows my schedule and she is mad at me for getting mad at her for not paying for the damages. And plus she thinks i stole something of hers-- which i did not. Is there anything i can do to get the cops to go into her house and car?

Here is a curious thought.

What if there were new rules?
What if a person could claim to be a citizen of the planet earth?
And as such be entitled to go any ware on the planet they choose, when ever they choose.
What if Australia became was my back yard and Briton was the end of my block.
If people wanted world peace, then what if all the activists renounced all there citizen rights to any one specific country, to become citizens of the planet earth?

Where would you send them?
The planet is the birth right of every human, so legally they would have every right to be anywhere they want to be.
And if they were to choose Canada or Rome as there home, then who could say they were wrong?
And what if the peace activists, said screw all the benefits that go with being a citizen of one peace of land, like old age pension and E.I and every thing else.

What if they chose to, just be, and relay on the kindness of there brothers and sisters, which now would be you and me and every other human, on the planet earth?

We could not put them in jail, because then as citizens of the planet earth, by birth, we would be violating them.

And they have committed no crime, other than to reserve the right to live anywhere they choose in the world, and denounce all war, as in theory they would be killing there own brothers and sisters, which is it’s self a crime, No one could legally force them to fight in our wars.

No one could kick them out as they are not squatters, but people of the planet earth claiming citizenship of the entire planet.
And since they are not asking for any benefits like old age pension or E.I. in theory they may not even have to pay taxes.

Like claming a number for a name or like Prince claiming a symbol for a name.

Claiming the rights to the entire planet and all in it, as there birth right, as people or individuals of the planet earth could I believe be done.

It may sound futuristic like something out of star trek; but once we entered space and called our self’s human to what ever alien form we may meet, we would have to call earth our home planet and by doing that we claim the entire planet as our home and birth right.

Not just an address like Canada, Russia, Rome, France.
How is that for a bit of Si-Fi?
You heard it heard first folks….well no actually, I guess the Bible said it first, or some idea very similar. LOL, legally a person would have every right to denounce all citizenship other than the citizenship of the entire planet earth…right?
Could it ever happen?? Could the peace mongers screw the entire world up and the legal system by doing this, I think so, and I think it could possibly lead to world peace.
What do you think?

The debate about the English smoking ban bats to and fro like a table-tennis ball. Smokers say this, non-smokers say that - tweedledee v. tweedledum.

I would like to see a reasoned argument. Can we examine the following points?

1. Approximately 23% of the UK population smoke tobacco.

2. Smoking tobacco is a legal indulgence.

3. What is the percentage of the users of drink-only public houses who object to smoking in drink-only public houses.

4. How many readers of this site have started to use drink-only pubs in England since the start of the smoking ban? ( I mean 'Rovers Return type pubs, not nightclubs), who had not used pubs before?

5. Where, on the Internet, can one find evidence that Government ( not ASH, not FOREST) has researched the above, and published it?

6. What is the age profile of a] smokers and b] non-smokers involved in the use of drink-only public houses.

Answers that simply state that'smoking stinks' or that 'smoking rocks' will be given short shrift by me.

BEAR WITH ME! PLEASE ;o)

about a year ago a former coworker of my sisters started accusing my sister of sleeping with her husband. my sister somewhat knew him from when she did work there, which was over 3 years ago. he sent her 2 messages on myspace which she casually responded to. It never went beyond that & there was never even any flirting in them. SO somehow this girl got sis' # so she called and harassed her a few times. my sister tried to explain that she had a fiance who was in iraq that she loved very much & that she never even spoke to her husband on the phone.

Well a few months after, my sister went to pick up a take out order @ the place where this girl still works & again she started with my sister in the restaurant & her mother did too (she also works there). so once again my sister let her know, it was not true. my sister has since seen this girl & had no problems.

Two men with muslim names were arrested in South Carolina near a naval weapons depot. The men had, what authorities are now calling a bomb and more material in their vehicle to construct explosive devices. CNN is casually talking about during the day but none of the major news outlets are talking about it, why not?

I would have posted a source if I could have found it.

Statisticaly, people die of natural cause while waiting for their "deathrow" time to come, yet we as working citizens pay for them throughout their time. Should deathrow be a "life sentence" or should be DEATHROW and end it at the next opening on the table?
