Just as a side note: I never tortured small animals, and I didn't feel the need to be aggressive towards other children. The proposed ban on this candy is outrageous, but so is the assertion that juvenile violence is on the rise because violence on animals is decreasing.

It is better to be surprised when you kiss her than to have Jimmy show up at your door 6 years later wondering why you haven't been at any of his birthdays.

I know I usually don't say much more than "nice," but that is because there is really nothing more to say. Less is more. Nice.

From the original list, is has to be Joe Pesci. But all time, Burt Ward as Robin. You can't beat the old Batman series for pure entertainment value. I'd also nominate Kramer from Seinfeld, but he really became a main character after awhile.

Link Say that you have an affair with a woman. Say that you have oral sex with this woman. Say that this woman saves the sperm, uses it to impregnate herself, and then files a paternity suit two years later. Well, this is exactly what a Chicago doctor accuses his former lover (al

It truly is a wonder that the rest of the world thinks America hates them. What could have possibly given them that idea? And I didn't catch the unethical part of Europe, but I guess you were just on a hate-filled tirade and needed one more word to make it perfect. And way to represent your fellow Conservatives, just reinforcing the Liberal belief that you think everyone who disagrees with you is out to destroy you or your nation.

Certainly some of his accusations are about people whom he had no firsthand experience with. However, I don't take his word for any of these accusations. I can make my own assumptions about who has or hasn't used steroids, and I don't need anyone to point out the warning signs to me. The true value to me is the detailed account of his experiences in the clubhouse and in the league, and his description of how lax the MLB culture became as it related to

The meathead, or should I say meat-organization, should be major league baseball. The extent to which this league allowed steroids to make a mockery of it is embarrassing. Sure, Canseco's book is self-serving, and sure it is about nothing but getting him some dollars, but who would know better than him? Some of his claims may be inflated, and he needs to drop names if he's going to get anywhere with the book, but if you take the accusations w

I do not think that love is just the will to possess, but I do not think that it is something that can be explained by formal reasoning as it is traditionally thought of. There is no element of logic that will tell you you are in love. Since love is an emotion, being "in love" will always be something based on emotions, not reasoning. True love, however, is emotion that can be logically traced to and equated with the individual that

the only thing that I'm slightly surprised at is the method that she chose, I would've expected something more violent. However, the fact that she chose a non-violent method speaks volumes about her personality, IMO. Violence is not only to be measured by bloodshed. What she did to him seems plenty viol

That is what I meant by, "the case deserves to be judged on its own merits". If she only used his abuse as an excuse to lash out and exact her own retribution, her sentence should be just as harsh, however if this is the tragic outcome of a justice system that has failed her time and time again, then that should be considered als

I'd much rather have millions of women kill their abusers in slow and painful ways than to have them suffer and wait for the law, which, in an attempt to be "humane," will let the abuser out of prison eventually to kill their wives. I think that attempts should be made to change laws so that abusers do

Yes, she had the scum subdued, but if her past experience with "doing it the right way" has only led to more abuse, then would you merely call the cops, yet again?? I don't think the article mentioned past experiences of trying to do it the right way. I think I would have had more sympathy for her if sh

Although she wasn't in immediate danger, what she did was self-defense, because the abuse would continue. I agree that reporting things to the police is not an entirely safe option al of the time, but not punishing her for her actions sets a dangerous precedent. She rendered him helpless and sat in an a

Like all cases, this one needs to be judged on its own merits. Did she kill him? No question. Was it justifiable? That IS the question, now isn't it. I judged the case on its merits. In my opinion, this is not justifiable; it was cruel.
