I have to agree on the screaming (or just generally misbehaving) children. Maybe I'm getting old and crochety, but it seems like there are more screaming children out in public now. While I feel bad for the poor parents of the misbehaving children, it doesn't mean that the children don't still annoy me. What annoys me to the point of white hot rage is when I'm behind a person driving in the left lane who is driving at exactly the same speed as and right next to the person in the right lane, creating a situation in which it is impossible to pass. I hope there is a special place in hell for those people.

Would you consider this murder or?
by kls inlogans thread on murder had me thinking of a tale shall we say and i would like to know if you feel this is murder or?
,,,,,,,,,two people live together ( a man and a women ) and they are both severe drunks.
they are living in an upstairs apartment and have been drinking non stop for weeks.

If she was so drunk for so long that she didn't even realize he was dead at the bottom of the stairs for quite some time, how would she remember that she pushed him? Is it possible that he fell down the stairs by himself since he was also drunk? Presumably, since he sat for weeks at the bottom of the stairs, no third party was there to witness the event. In the absence of evidence that she actually pushed him down the stairs, I wouldn't think there would be any legal basis for manslaughter, let alone murder.
Morally, though, I would consider that murder. She must have formed the intent to push him down the stairs, even if that intent was formed only a nanosecond before she pushed him. That he would be injured, perhaps gravely, after being pushed down the stairs is completely foreseeable.

Some twisted psychopath kidnapped my brick!!!
by Elsewhere insadly i must report that shortly after my bricks were delivered to the construction site of my new house, some sick twisted psychopath went and kidnapped a brick for ransom!
granted, i must admit that there are some very suspicious circumstances surrounding the alleged "kidnapping".
i know that particular brick and he has always been a troublemaker and prone to violence.

Elsewhere, I hope this tragedy causes you to reflect on the lifestyle you've chosen. If, Jehovah forbid, the worst happens to your brick, will you be there in the New System to great him?
With warm Christian love,
Margie
P.S. Even typing that crap sarcastically makes me ill.

Recent weather conditions
by ballistic in.
with all the news on tv lately about the extreme weather conditions affecting the east coast of the us, the mud slides in the middle east and south america, along with the dire predictions made by such films as the day after tomorrow, we shouldn't forget that england has its share of devastating weather too.. i've attached a photo illustrating the damage caused to a friend's home from a storm that passed through southern england last night.. it really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted.. .

by Vivamus inmy family is in a battle over morality and character, this being fought over my grandma's dead body, who would turn in her grave would she know.. .
the main battle is between my mother and my uncle, who accuses my mum of theft and immoral behaviour, and my mum who did in all honsty no such thing, tho she has done some lousy things on this battlefield.. .
i am very much prevelidged to see the emailwar that goes on between them.

Vivamus, I wouldn't send it to my uncle because I would be worried that he'd take it out on my mom even more. Of course, your uncle may be different than my uncle. What I would do instead is write to my mom expressing my support of her and offering to help out with my uncle in any way my mom thought necessary.

i have a new god! it is my digital cable
by doogie inman, my digital cable is unbelievable and i firmly believe that my cable box has divine power.. i have hbo and with the miraculous power of the digital cable you also get "hbo on demand" which is like a vcr in your cable box.
you can play/rewind/fast forward any movie or show hbo is currently showing that month whenever you want.. how did i go so long without it?
it is like water in a dry land.

You are preaching to the choir, doogie. When all of the on demand services came to my area, I was thinking I might quit my job just so I could take full advantage of on demand. In fact, I called in sick the day after I got it and stayed home watching on demand all day! Unfortunately, when I bought my (first!!) house in May and tried to get cable hooked up, I realized that Comcast is like the WTB&TS with the conditional love. I had a very bad experience that eventually drove me into the arms of the world (a/k/a Direct TV). It's been an adjustment. Sure, sometimes I miss the love I thought Comcast had for me, but then I remember the dark side of that love -- the ever-increasing prices, the unkept cable appointments, the poor customer service -- and I rejoice that I now have Direct TV and TiVo.
