Divorced people are most certainly part of the problem. By your own logic they should be prosecuted for negligence.

OK one more comment here ..this is for regular folks, not the liberal crowd...I know you ....... ..Those who have never been arrrested, I will walk you through it .....A warrent for your arrest is taken out,or different warrents in this case ,you go to the pertainet Courthouse,Sylvia, NC ,in this c...

Moving away from the criminal aspect of justice. If I get divorced, end up paying alimony and child support, start gambling, then lose my house because I can’t make the payments anymore - is that justice or injustice? Is there any difference from my point of view, or the banks point of view? It is ...

I don't know which model would describe conservative Mennonites. In some ways, since the leaders are chosen from among the church membership, they are representative, but not really, because once ordained, there is no further formal mechanism for the membership to inform the leadership.

[l Might as well bring the Mormans into this mess. “The Lord told the brother of Jared to build barges to take his people to the promised land.” -Ether 2:16 Was the promised land the lighthouse?

He towed a car with a flat tire; the owner came in to pick it up, and argued about the $50 towing fee. When he wouldn't hand over the keys without being paid, the guy pulled a gun and shot him point ...

A recent topic on MN was whether or not negligent parents should be punished. One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are. Choosing to be a single mother is a very poor choice. If ne...

The ship that hit the Key Bridge in Baltimore wasn't a barge. In my lexicon, anything that carries cargo above decks falls into the category of barge. Parsing of terminologies can run into interesting exchanges. Time to get a new lexicon. Also, btw it's not at all surprising that it's the "thi...

Ships are self-propelled. Barges are not. And no, whether or not goods are stacked above decks has nothing to do with it. I live on the Columbia River and I see grain barges go by all the time. They carry the grain inside, not stacked on top. The barge in Texas was an oil barge which carry the oil b...
