Re: Thinking about shaving my head... sort of...

For whatever reason, more conservative groups (intermediate-conservative and beyond) seem to prefer that men not have shaved heads. In moderate-conservative and up groups, this seems to be more acceptable.

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Explain how any of those would apply to a single mother with a child out of wedlock? What illegal act are you putting them on trial for and punishing? In my original post, I was referring to the act of fornication, as evidenced by a child out of wedlock. Are you offering free public childcare and d...

They pay for necessities with money they receive through government assistance.
Sounds like this area is being run exactly as the government intends, actually.

Re: War in Gaza

regarding the kitchen workers, Israel responded quickly this was a grave mistake, and they made changes within to prevent it in future. It's not a "mistake" when a large, powerful military does something like this. Israel's stance has been not to care about civilian casualties in Gaza. Th...

And sometimes justice is making an example of people for the greater good.
I don't agree with this statement. Justice is treating people fairly, not picking on one person to "make an example" of them.

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Josh says nothing about the age of the unwed parents, and does not mention locking them up. Neither in the OP nor any of the subsequent posts. In fact, the OP asks what the punishment should be, rather than prescribing one. "Punishment by the law." which are the words used by Josh in the ...

Re: War in Gaza

I know there are Palestinian families suffering right now. This is why. http://dataus.net/ss/05-17-1932.png And another reason why. They broke this young lady's legs; shot her in the head after brutalizing and defiling her. Hamas kept her body as a token and bargaining chip for months, denying her ...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

Many people in these high crime hotspots, have long learned to not even bother calling the police either when it comes to certain crimes. In fact just recently a guy I know was violently assaulted in a large city, and when he tried to get the police to come take an assault report, they refused. It ...

Re: Justice

For people in El Salvador, it wasn't rare and affected many people. Without carefully tending to a society, things like murder rates get out of hand.
