    Drug Addicts vs The Law

    I'm not sure what you mean by this. We've been discussing the best course of action to take when people have already been found guilty of drug offences, not whether they should be found guilty or not.

    Do you really know all the words to your national anthem?

    I love watching this too. Most of the players are just mouthing the words but as the camera moves along each of them, you'll occasionally hear some terrible singing from them!

    Canadian Police As Violent As Some American Police Officers?

    If the guy had nothing to hide, why did he refuse to get out of his car? He clearly had no medical card for it at all and the stupid thing is, if he'd just got out of the car and admitted it, he'd be in a bit less trouble now. It seems quite heavy-handed at first but I expect the man's refusal...

    Ohio Woman Stabbed Boyfriend Because He Ate All the Salsa

    I agree with everyone else, the salsa was clearly the straw that broke the camel's back. She said she wanted to leave him so maybe he was a bit of a nightmare to live with? Not excusing her behavior at all, but I think there's a lot more to this story than what has been reported so far.

Boston woman, Joanna Leigh, has been charged with larceny and making a false claim to a government agency after claiming she sustained an injury during the Boston Marathon bombing. She received over $36,000 from various charitable sources. Boston woman pleads not guilty to...

    Do you really know all the words to your national anthem?

    I only know one verse of God Save The Queen but we learnt "La Marseillaise" in French classes at school and I can still remember every word 20 years later!

    Student Suspended For Recording Video Of Teacher Bullying Student

    So what happened to the teacher then? OK, the girl might have made an illegal video but this does not mean that it's contents should be overlooked. Let's hope that the teacher in question is dealt with accordingly.

    Teens Kills Mother, Stabs Grandmother

    Again. NOBODY is blaming homeschooling for what happened....nobody here has an agenda against it or anything like that, I think that's been made quite clear...

    NH cops seek man who stole Girl Scout cookie money

    New Hampshire police are seeking a man who stole a cash box from a Girl Scout selling cookies outside her local Walmart on Saturday. Apparently he just grabbed the cash box from the girl and sped off in his car! It's unclear as to how much money was in the box but what a despicable thing to do...

    Teens Kills Mother, Stabs Grandmother

    Although homeschooling isn't to blame for the boy's situation. Had he attended a regular school though, it is likely that the abuse would have been picked up on by staff. Homeschooling kept him off the radar and out of sight of the authorities. The neighbors, however, want to hang their heads...

    Really? Really?

    The aunt is certainly guilty of negligence and I'd be surprised if she wasn't charged as such. We don't actually know whether the aunt has been charged with anything though, I cannot find any reports to say whether she will face and charges or not.

    Drug Addicts vs The Law

    This often happens in the UK. Judges and magistrates can sentence someone to a treatment order whereby they are placed in rehab (often as outpatients) and providing they pass the random drugs tests that will be administered, they will stay out of jail. It seems to work well for some people and...

    No-Go Zones?

    I've certainly heard reports that there are police no-go areas in the UK, particularly on council estates (or what you might call the "projects" in the US). I live close to one of Europe's biggest council estates and it's certainly true that police will only attend calls there in threes!

    Mom Breaks Baby's Ribs

    One thing is certain - this woman clearly needed help. She shouldn't have been allowed to get to such an extreme state of frustration. I'm sure these incidents would decrease if support networks for new mothers were improved.

    What is one thing that you can not live without?

    Either coffee or the internet. I cannot manage without coffee, period. The internet is just as important though, it provides the means for both communication and entertainment. Going without a phone would be so much easier if you had internet access and I could do without toothpaste and just...

    Colorado woman who cut baby out of mother will not face murder charges

    Whatever the laws are, she's going to spend the rest of her life behind bars - with all these charges against her, she'll never get parole and will probably die before she even becomes eligible.

    Fraudster fakes an email to the prison and gets released

    That was clever! I can't believe he got away with something so simple though - I imagine that email verification and security procedures will be stepped up at prisons around the UK now.
