Hello, everyone. I was thinking of taking about three weeks to a month off to travel in Asia. Although I've

been all over Europe because I lived there for 10 years, I haven't been to Asia. I want to go alone and

stay in moderately priced accomodations and kind of do my own thing as far as sightseeing. Any suggestions

on where to go and what to do as this doesn't seem quite as easy as Eurorail. I don't want any

religious type communes where I have to scrub the floors either like that movie with Julia Roberts. But

I would like to experience culture and learn more about the world and myself along the way. So where's

the best place to go? India? Goa? Bali? Thailand??

Thanks in advance!

Are You For Or Against The Death Penalty?

by minimus in

i clearly am for it if it's proven without a doubt that a person murdered another in cold blood.

recently, in connecticut, a man was convicted of killing 2 young girls and their mother.

the animal raped them and almost killed the defenseless husband/father who could do nothing while these atrocities were being carried out in his own home!.

diana netherton

Yes, most definitely. I have worked as a court stenographer for many years and it never

ceases to amaze me what humans can do to one another. Just when I think I have heard

the worst thing ever, something else comes along.

Part of my stance on the acceptance of a death penalty is the advent of DNA evidence. Perhaps

I would feel differently if DNA wasn't so accurate and can be traced to the source with all certainty.

I remember once an expert put it this way: The probability of the person on trial sharing the exact DNA with

someone else was one in a couple hundred trillion, meaning, you'd have to seach the universe for a match.

I think if the trace evidence is there, DNA is warranted. If a conviction is based on just reasonable doubt or

probability without exact DNA the death penalty is rarely sought...or upheld.

Anyway, here in Pennsylvania we have it but it hasn't been implemented in a long time. The last death

penalty case I had was around six years ago...and he's still up in prison fighting out appeals and it will go

on for quite a number of years. Ironically, he's in the same death row prison as his father. But even if someone

wants the death penalty here, the process still takes time. The appeal is automatic, whether the individual wants

to die or not. It's an expensive and weary process...and all at the taxpayers' expense.

Email I sent to mom after huge fight today

by meangirl in

well my mom and i got into a pretty bad argument today over the phone.

it basically came down to the fact that she couldn't handle what i was saying about the organization, etc and all she could come back to me was that i "hated her?

" i guess i just wanted to share and vent a little too....thanks for letting me do so.. .

diana netherton

That is very well written. I had a similar conversation with my mother last year. Told her

that although she THOUGHT she was doing the right thing by me in raising me in the org,

in fact, it wasn't in reality. It's a hard pill to swallow. But it will most likely fall on deaf ears. She'll just deem

you even more in need of intervention and prayer. It's sad...
