How Is Sex Like Riding A Bicycle?
1. You have to keep pumping if you want to get anywhere.
2. It's best to wear protective head-gear when going into unfamiliar territory.
3. You can do it with no hands, but it's best not to try it until you have a lot of experience.
4. It's easier to learn with the help of someone who has a lot of experience.
5. You can do it by yourself, but it's usually not as much fun.
6. It's usually hard to control your speed the first few times you try.
7. It's best to have a soft place to land.
8. You don't need any special clothing, but you can get some if you are really into it.
9. If you're with someone who is having trouble keeping up, it's usually best to slow down and wait for them.
10. Most people think it looks easy until they try it for the first time.
11. Once you learn, you never forget how.
12. If you fall off get right back on.
13. If you get a flat, try pumping it back up.
14. Remember to signal before you change direction.
15. Make sure that you've got a firm grip.
16. Sometimes it's nice to have a cushy seat.
17. Once you're over the top, you can just coast the rest of the way.
18. That's why some of them are called Mountin' Bikes.

Here's a bitch, I am sure everyone agrees
Boy kills his own brother over dessert
A 13-year-old boy killed his 8-year-old brother over dessert because the younger brother ate it and the older one worried he would be blamed for eating the dessert his mother told him he could not have.
The 13-year-old, Demetrius Key, has been charged with first-degree murder. The boy's mother was visiting a near by cousin when a neighbor called the authorities after hearing four loud bangs, ten minutes of quite and then some more commotion.
After telling his mother the younger boy "passed out" he later initially told investigators that he hit his brother with a metal shelf support. After investigators searched the house her changed his story and said he hit the younger brother with a broom handle.
He later admitted to punching, choking and slamming the boy's head into the floor.
The examiner ruled the death a homicide from closed head injuries.

Are there any more brothers in the family?? hopefully not, that way they will then have been removed completely from the gene pool which can only be good for the future....

I always wonder about such tragedies. Is the child an incurable sociopath or was the situation somehow fostered by the environment created (or allowed) by the parent(s)? You have to ask what the mother did to instill such fear in a child that he would beat his younger brother to death for possibly getting him into trouble. Around our house, you got into a lot more trouble for fighting than sneaking a dessert.

Usually 13 year olds are treated as minors. That means the boy will be back on the streets as a young adult unless mental illness keeps him institutionalized. I agree though, the parent(s) share some blame in the situation.

yup, he'll be out amongst us when he's 21. Edit: In US, we have a "get out of jail free card" if you murder at a young age.

Strangely, I think part of the coverage comes from WHERE the crime occured. Over here, that stuff happens all the time; finding unwanted new-borns killed and thrown in the trash dumpster is not a terribly unusual occurance ... but such things don't even make the news anymore while in a place where its far more unlikely, a mother who drowns her two kids is national news for weeks. All big cities are like that, not just Philadelphia ... such atrocities don't even qualify as news anymore. What could be sadder.

Why in the world would this matter:

The sheriff's office would not say what the dessert was.

Would it be alright if it was a really good dessert? I am confused.

The American judicial system leaves much to be desired. I have lived
in numerous metropolitan areas. Years ago a mother murdered her 3
year old daughter taking her by the feet and slamming her head into
the wall. There were basketball sized impressions in the wall-over
40 of them. This woman was arrested but never brought to trial because at the time there were only a few cells in the women's prison
for capital crimes and they were all full. I worked hard on the
committee trying to recall that judge. Unfortunately it is almost
impossible to do.
Justice is this country hasn't gotten better since then. More and
more it appears the justice you get relates to the size of your
pocket book.
Also I do not believe in the verdict, not guilty by reason of
insanity. It should be guilty by reason of insanity. When the
criminal is released from the mental institution, he should then
serve the sentence for the crime.

i don't believe that if some is actually insane at the time a crime is committed they should serve prison time after they leave a mental institution. that's a good way to make a worse criminal.

I guess its like paedophilia.
In america they consider it an illness....whereas in England its just [edited by lethal - billy-boy watch the language ;)] up.
I dont think that any "insanity" makes someone a killer like that....people have weak minds and cannot cope...but that doesnt make them insane.
If someones insane, they cant recover i dont think..
Just my views.

Auslander, respectfully, you are entitled to your opinion. The key
in your statement was if someone was actually insane. The definitions
in this country of insanity are so wide here (Do you recall the
twinkie defense).

Something says that home environment is really unstable and it wasn't the first time this happened except without the consequences. My bitch for the day just got put in a salary position, no pay raise just to save comp time and allow casual overtime . Have never worked a 9 to 5 job in my life. It feels like the whole days a waste. Edit Dang MS key board don't spell right.

But is it good to have a semi-bad criminal (with or without semi-insanity) on the loose?

She was found guilty of copyright infringement on 20 songs, only. She has to pay around $225,000 in penalties. Duluth is about 75 miles from me.

Quick, get a tourniquet! You must stop the bleeding from your heart.
I agree with you that they shouldn't serve prison time, but I don't think you want to know what I think should happen instead. :wink:

if they were actually mentall ill, and they had overcome their illness and been released, they wouldn't be criminals.
i don't believe the mentally ill can be considered criminals, as they are operating with a mental deficiency. they should be treated in a way to correct this imbalance (mental, rather than behavioral, rehabilitation), then put back into society as functional human beings.
bruce, it's always good to hear from you. :-)

There is also not guilty by mental defect.
If perpetrators are put in prison after being released from mental
hospital, they would not necessarily have to serve a full term for
the crime. There is such a thing as parole. It would be another
level of protection for the public.
I agree with your assesment of our prison system, but it's what we've
got. So until we change it we must use it the way it is.

or we could just give Auslander a gun. :-)
in all seriousness, though, if a person is being released from an asylum, they should be deemed mentally fit and ready for re-integration into society. taking someone in that corrected state and putting them into an institution known from turning upright citizens into the scourge of civilization is not an idea i approve of.
