I tried the angus bacon cheeseburger as well and that was pretty good.Possibly better then wendys big bacon classic.Also keeping people in jail for life after they murder someone sounds reasonable but is very expensive.I'm for it for construction business reasons but I don't think its feasible.

Agreed- it is very expensive. I believe in the death penalty for certain situations. In this particular situation where he has confessed to all of these crimes, gone into vivid detail, physical evidence, shows no remorse and he did reoffend, I think the death pentalty is appropriate. I don't think it's appropriate in each case because as we all know, some people have been wrongfully imprisoned and/or executed. I think it has to meet some pretty stringent criteria for the death pentalty to be an option, but this guy, in my opinion, fits all of the requirements that I would have in place.

I don't believe in the death penalty.I get why it feels right but one innocent person getting killed by our government is lunacy.I'm with you that if we could only execute people who are 100% guilty it would be ok but that will never be the case since emotions are very charged during the run up to trials and that effects how strong the evidence looks.Its human nature.Prison sucks really really bad.Thats good enough.If you want to execute for reasons that have to do with the expenses involved in housing them for life we are a fucked up society.Some people do get reformed.I know they don't deserve it but the alternative is either pay for them forever or kill them.I'm not comfortable with either when it comes to people who are deemed reformed.Obviously the cases you're sighting there were failures to recognize the person wasnt reformed.

I agree- the thought of one innocent person being killed is unnerving. Yeah, some people do get reformed. Some don't. This guy didn't. It is such an emotionally charged issue. Acts against children have always bothered me, but even moreso now that I'm a mom. I know in my own head, with this guy, I keep thinking that nothing anybody could do to him (jail for life, death penalty, etc) would ever feel like enough justice for his victims. And no matter what happens, nothing is going to bring them back. It's just a horrible situation all around.

[BIRD33]

It is.Not as horrible as pickles in a wheat wrap but pretty horrible none the less.There is rarely any justice in this world when it comes to people committing heinous acts.The worlds not fair.Thats just the way it is.Trying to make sense of a insane persons acts and even the score is almost impossible.

A Massachusetts sporting club is donating $10,000 to children's charities as part of a deal settling criminal charges in the death of an 8-year-old boy who accidentally shot himself in the head with an Uzi during a gun fair.

Bizarre story.The judge summed it up best.

What in God's name was anyone, if not everyone, thinking?

[bam]

I'm sitting here thinking about my 7 year old (almost 8) son and an uzi...I DON'T THINK SO.

[spunky]

yeah, what idiot thought that was a great idea, including the father...

[bam]

I don't know. I'm a gun owner. My kids have been around guns. They know that they aren't anything to play with. No responsible gun owner would think that an 8 year old and an uzi sounds like a good idea.

[bam]

The verdict has been reached...

[bam]

Guilty on all counts.

Sentencing on Tuesday.

Shamrock shakes are back until the 22nd!

NJ woman attempting to become world's fattest lady

A New Jersey woman who already weighs a whopping 600 pounds is on a mission to double her girth in a bid to become the world's fattest woman.

Donna Simpson, 42, who lives in Old Bridge, said she has her sights on reaching the 1,000-pound mark over the next two years.

Simpson insists she is healthy, even though she can't walk and has to move around with the help of a motorized scooter.

i guess she likes to eat
where's the crime, tweety??

I guess eating on a web cam provides good enough medical benefits that cover the cost of breaking down a wall to get her out of her house and on to a ambulance\flatbed.I have a feeling tax payer dollars are going to end up sub(food pun)sudizing this eventually in child care or health care.

If a person set up a web cam to shoot heroin in front of for money that would be illegal I'm guessing.What if a person cut themselves for money?All are self destructive behavior.Maybe not illegal but its going to end in disaster.
