I can only imagine that they in such a dark place they can't see a way out at all. Anyone more rational would certainly want to be hurting their children even if they plan to hurt themselves. The children are the real innocent victims in all of this and never deserving of what happens. It's sad...

Wow - 18 years already? it was such a horrific crime as well. It's such a shame that there's still no proper clarity as to who killed her and why. I just hope that more recent scientific advances will have an impact in helping to unveil the truth.

Such a brave thing to do. It's true that it's exactly what we would expect of our police. Even so, it's a great thing that he did for the guy.

She's clearly a very sick woman. It's frightening that she could possibly get parole. There should be no parole for that kind of crime. Hopefully the Justice Department will see sense.

I love you to use a skipping rope / jumping rope. For me it's the best exercise equipment ever created! I try to use it a few times a week at least.

I'm not really sure that I'd see any advantage. You'd certainly have to be more aware of your own behavior, as he'll probably happily pull you up for noise issues and so on. Maybe if you live in a rough neighborhood and there are a lot of hoodlums roaming the streets it might be of benefit. But...

Friday has always been my favorite work day. Even being self employed now, I still use Friday as my reference point to take my foot off the gas a bit. It's not as if there are any less hours in the day. But because the weekend is just around the corner, it totally makes sense for Friday to...

Pimps certainly do get busted, though clearly not often enough to put the trade totally out of business. Whether the penalties are severe enough is another matter. That's really the issue - the severity of the punishment.

That story makes me really sad. Firstly, that 6 year old is scarred for life and that's so terrible. Secondly, the fact that a 17-year old could even conceive of such a thing just scares me. Hopefully the little girl gets all the psychological support needed to get her back on the straight and...

This is incredibly sad. Robbing your own grandmother! It's shocking to think that we live in a society that this sort of thing can actually happen. That's a pretty low thing to do. But if he did it, my guess is, he's a pretty desperate man to even consider it. If he can do that he can probably...

I've seen it in so many movies I didn't actually think that someone would try it for real! I guess, if it works it works. Still, from the shop worker's perspective it didn't matter whether it was a gun or a banana - they were probably terrified and likely scarred for life. So whether it's a gun...

I don't go to concerts as much as I probably would like. I guess as you get older you have different priorities and want to do different things with your time. My days of mosh pits and standing around for hours are long behind me.

My parents certainly tried to shape my tastes but they didn't try to stop me listening to what I wanted to. I don't mind the influencing bit so much, as we all kind of what to pass doing a bit of us to the next generation, but banning music is the start of a slippery slope. You don't want to...

For every big bust like this, there are a number of others still operating and needing to be bust. It's the nature of money laundering, unfortunately. Having previously worked for a bank, and heard many stories about the lengths that people went to in order to launder money, we still have to...

I agree with one of the former posts - they probably don't judge them in the same way as we do. Yes, they know they've done wrong and are dishonoring the badge and so on. But they also realize they are very human. We perhaps put police on a higher pedestal than is necessary. They have human...

I watch quite a lot of news, though I really think I need to cut back on it as it rarely leaves me with a warm and fuzzy feeling afterwards. I think I should also watch different news channels so that specific biases of mine don't keep getting reaffirmed.

I think I know where you are coming from. It's more than "mixed emotions". A friend of mine was once discussing an ex-girlfriend of his. He said that he still loved her but really didn't like. I'm not sure whether it was because he thought that she wasn't a very nice person or whether she had...

He certainly knows how to move! The trouble with that is I'm not sure whether I'd be able to take him seriously! I'm sure he's very good at his job though and is more likely to get drivers on side than otherwise.

Don't allow your town to define you. Just because you're from there it doesn't mean that's what you're about. People will always judge people regardless. Just don't play into their hands by really caring too much.

Some people need to go to 'parenting school' because I honestly can't work out how she thought that putting the gun in the bag was ever going to be a good thing. And even if the kid had got into trouble, what kind of punishment was she expecting the kid to get? Expulsion?
