    Re: The Hunting Ground

    From a non-US perspective, it's quite bizarre - universities having their own "police" forces and even "courts"?! Ludicrous. I work at a university in the UK; if anyone is raped there, it's a matter...

    Re: Subprime Loans are Back

    That helped insulate the original issuers from the consequences of their bad loans, yes - indeed, that was government policy too, the very raison d'etre of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, between them...

    Re: Subprime Loans are Back

    In fact, this was not just "allowed" by the government, but mandated: when banks were just looking at creditworthiness, activists cried "foul", demanding that they be made to issue loans to...
  4. Re: Is this justice, or an escalation of the troubles?

    I'm very much in favor of self-defense, including the use of deadly force when attacked - so on the face of it, I'd say this is a good outcome: he certainly won't be raping anyone else in future!

  5. Re: Further to this

    Interesting. Legally, no: here at least, the acts of making and distributing the photos is the same crime; had the subject not been underage, there would be no crime involved at all. (It might be...
  6. Re: Is it right to charge this boy with child pornography?

    No, intent to possess the material in question. If Customs find a package of drugs in the post to me, for example, that isn't enough to prosecute me: they'd need to show that I was actually involved...
  7. Re: Is it right to charge this boy with child pornography?

    West Virginia and Virginia are two different states, each with their own laws, just like North Dakota and South Dakota.

    If something is sent unsolicited that's usually a defense - a possession...

    Re: Is it really this bad??????

    It's interesting: one absence of parallel seems significant, of course, that there is no weapon you can scapegoat in a rape. Nobody can use it as a pretext for demanding "penis control", trying to...

    Not quite. I pointed out it's a bit of a stretch to say that killing a bunch of men and women is all about the women (maybe something to do with putting more value on his female victims and ignoring...

    Re: Is it really this bad??????

    Before leaping to blaming the guns or associated laws, bear in mind that half his victims (3 of the 6 he murdered) were actually stabbed, not shot - the media seem to have latched on to one of his...

    Re: denying freedom of speech, or fair play?

    The judge's demands go much too far, IMO - and other countries take a different approach.

    The justification for the restriction is that revealing details might influence the jury inappropriately....

    Re: New bill: Jail for cyber bullying

    I'm not sure if my previous reply posted (I got a strange error message) - I agree about the need for the judiciary to be more accountable; even in the extreme example of a judge lauding a serial...

    Re: New bill: Jail for cyber bullying

    Perhaps - though most seem to be urban legends - but there are far more cases where judges hand out ludicrously lenient sentences.

    The fears about this law seem valid though: just three months...

    Re: New bill: Jail for cyber bullying

    Unfortunately, I don't think that's enough to stop politicians trying to do exactly that - and doing damage in the process. Indeed, existing laws refer to things like making you feel threatened.

    Re: peeping photographs 'freedom of speech'

    Re: peeping photographs 'freedom of speech'

    I don't think the ruling was so much "this is freedom of speech, so it's protected" (though it does seem the defense lawyer tried to argue that) - rather, the laws currently protecting privacy there...

    If they had never left the country, they'd still be in the US so the child would have citizenship from place of birth. If the mother grew up in the US but left before reaching the age of 19, the...
