Your basic animals coupling like all animal do due to a sex drive inherent in most all of us. They turn out to be mass murderers. Whose fault is that? It ain't theirs. They neigther asked for nor controlled what they were born with or as or what they did with it. In some great far beyond unknown the culprit exists who is responsible for this mess of homo sap who are all sap no homo.Random chance? The luck of the draw? DUMB LUCK? A mad scientist at large experimenting?I know some kids are born to rotten people and turn out swell as he**. Some kids are born to people who are swell as he** and become mass murderers. However somewhere in there a decision is made which is gonna be which. Who makes it? What makes it? less

If you are caught smoking where there is a NO SMOKING sign how bad a break of rule is that?What if you are caught stealing something belonging to someone else? Bigger punishment than smoking in front of a NO SMOKING sign.What if you inadvertendly kill someone. Bigger punishment even without intent to commit or premeditation?What if you murder someone directly or because you betrayed him/her caused the murderer to successfully murder? Then you are an accessory. What should a murder accessory be charged with besides being an accessory. Is engaging in and facilitating and enabling as bad as the original planning/execution?Who decides if it matters at all? Should you walk if you get a real good lawyer and a sympathetic judge?This law and order and justice thing used to be so simple. Now it isn't black and white its yucky shades of dirty filthy cheesy sneaky ugly white or shades of gray. less

It's faster and makes you richer than GOD.The HIGH ROAD goes through safe paths that are free of harmful things. It takes longer and there is no pot of gold at the end.I just wonder why some/many/most pols seem to be drawn to filth and scum and slime and dirt and relentless stench. They never can wash it off. It is absorbed into their bodies and infiltrates every inch of them. It announces their arrivals and doesn't go away at their departures. It is kinda skunklike but worse. It pollutes the air around them. How can that be awesomely pleasant for them? Dead smellers? less

But there are also dogging hotspots all over the place.” Dogging is the practice of having sex in public while other people watch, usually in lay-bys, car parks and wooded areas.
Ministers are reportedly worried that it will become commonplace amongst British truckers, rather than Europeans, as they wait in the long queues. Do Europeans even do dogging?” the minister asked. “There is something deeply British about dogging.”Ah the concerns regarding Brexit, nothing about food or medicine shortages....... less

Nation Aug 5, 2019 10:45 AM EDT
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is asking the Justice Department to propose legislation so that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the death penalty.
The Republican president says he wants capital punishment to be imposed swiftly against those who carry out hate crimes and mass shootings.
Trump spoke from the White House on Monday following weekend shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that left 29 people dead and dozens wounded.
Trump says America must stop the glorification of violence in society. He says it’s too easy for troubled youths to surround themselves with a culture of violence.
