EU and NATO can learn from the US
Wednesday, 16 April 2008
In 1918, the U.S. National Board for Historical Service published its "Handbook for the Diplomatic History: Europe, Asia, and Africa, 1879-1914" under the auspice of the Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Handbook of 1918 notes that a sizable portion of the territory known as "Macedonia" was seized by Greece in 1913 under the Treaty of Bucharest. Specifically, this important territorial concession of 1913 split Macedonia and "increased the area of Greece from 25,014 to 41,933 square miles and her population from 2,660,000 to 4,363,000."
Presently, this annexed territory and population of Greek citizens who are of ethnic Macedonian descent are revealing their "diachronic" reason behind a Greek veto against the Republic of Macedonia at the last NATO summit in Bucharest, Romania.
U.S. President George W. Bush made it clear that Washington wants Macedonia, along with Croatia and Albania, to join NATO, but American foreign policy interest in the Balkan region was not fully realized in large part due to the Greek veto denying Macedonia NATO accession.
Instead, Greek Foreign Minister, Ms. Dora Bakoyanni, noted that E.U. member Greece shall preclude Macedonia from joining NATO because the name "Republic of Macedonia" implies territorial ambitions towards Greece's own northern province, also named Macedonia and annexed under the 1913 treaty.
Conversely, the real problem with recognizing Macedonia in NATO, or any other international arena, is the systematic state sponsored civil rights discrimination by the Greek government, according to the "Political Party of the Ethnic Macedonians in Greece," known as "Rainbow European Free Alliance." The Rainbow E.F.A. party in Greece says there is specific "unwillingness of the [Greek] government to allow any private groups or associations to use associational names that include the appellation ...Macedonian, based upon the state party's assertion that there are no ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities in Greece..." who are in fact of Macedonian national origin or ethnicity.
The following excerpts and attestations are directly from an April 26, 2005 letter drafted by Greek citizens currently discriminated against because of their Macedonian ethnicity, national origin, or their Macedonian religion. The letter was delivered to the President of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, to the Commissioner on EU Enlargement, and to 25 Ministers of EU countries, as well.
"As Greek and European citizens we are obliged to point out that today the key to this so-called Macedonian issue lies elsewhere, and not in the conceptual and linguistic objections of the Greek government. The problem that the Greek government diligently conceals is its refusal to recognize the existence and to respect the rights of the Macedonian nation... [and] the existence and the rights of the Macedonian minority in Greece. The problem as the Greek government presents it has nothing to do with the so called 'cultural heritage of ancient Macedonia,' or that a portion of the Greek territory bears the administrative name of the District of Macedonia and the neighbor state calls itself also Macedonia or the Republic of Macedonia.
What the Greek government stubbornly refuses to admit is that it does not agree with the ethnic use of the terms 'Macedonia,' or 'Macedonian' because of the existence of the Macedonian minority in Greece. Greek politicians maintain that the Macedonian minority in Greece is likely in the future to rise up with separatist demands. This - and not the name of the Republic of Macedonia - is the real and diachronic problem for every Greek government. However, if the Greek government admits this, then it must also proceed with corresponding measures to recognize and respect the rights of the minority - which, unfortunately, it does not currently do..."
In light of the Greek NATO veto, the Macedonian Foreign Minister, Antonio Milososki, described the Greek state discrimination against people of Macedonian national origin as follows: "It is very regretful for the principles of democracy that Macedonia's bid for NATO membership was punished, not because of what we have done but because of who we are. We are Macedonians and our country is the Republic of Macedonia. And it will remain so forever."
California minority rights attorneys, Lenny Bush and Michael Rollins, agree that the Macedonia and Greece name dispute " is nothing more than garden variety government sponsored discrimination based on race or ethnicity." Both conclude "the E.U. and NATO can learn from U.S. federal law when it comes to resolving race-based or ethnic discrimination among member states."

2006 OLYMPICS: Abby's Performance Highlights Day Two In Torinoby Staff Writer / Colorado Avalanche
"It's great for Swiss hockey that we won," said Aebischer, who stopped Jaromir Jagr six times in the second period. "We have to be careful because it's one game."
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mark Streit, who has only one NHL goal this season, gave the Swiss a 3-2 lead during a power play 6:42 into the third.
"I think it's by far the biggest win in Swiss hockey - since I've been playing. Even in history," Streit said. "It's kind of a miracle."
Aebischer, best known for replacing Patrick Roy as the Colorado Avalanche's top goalie, was brilliant while his team was short-handed for most of the final 7 minutes of the middle period. Switzerland was ahead 2-1 when the parade to the penalty box began.
The Swiss (1-1 in Group A), who had just two NHL players in their lineup, were whistled for six of the final eight penalties in the period and were down two men for about 2 minutes. Aebischer got tougher as flag-waving fans chanted his name.
In other action, captain Joe Sakic scored a goal to help Canada to a 5-1 win over Germany. Team Canada is off to a 2-0 start in the 2006 Winter Games.
John-Michael Liles recorded an assist for the second straight day to help the United States (1-0-1) to a 4-1 win over Kazakhstan. Team USA won despite 32 saves from Avalanche prospect Vitaly Kolesnik, who was solid in a losing effort.
Slovakia improved to 2-0 thanks to a 6-3 victory over Latvia. Karlis Skrastins had one assist for Latvia. Avs goalie Peter Budaj got the day off after his winning performance over Russia on Wednesday. Jan Lasak got the start on Thursday and made 25 saves.
Finland also improved to 2-0 with a 6-0 victory over host Italy, while Russia bounced back after a loss on Wednesday by defeating Sweden 5-0.

When a sound system is tuned properly, it becomes powerful, balanced and efficient. Bass content is punchy and tight, with vocals and instruments that are rich, crisp and well defined. The CX2310 crossover's accurate signal processing protects critical loudspeaker components and improves overall system efficiency.
What's a Crossover?
Chances are if you're reading this, you already know what a crossover is and you know that you need one. But if you are new to multi-way PA systems, here is a brief overview.
Loudspeakers (which we call transducers) convert electrical signals into sound waves. And no matter how well a transducer is designed and made, it simply cannot reproduce the entire audio spectrum all by itself. Low-frequency sounds tend to push a transducer to its maximum, making it impossible for that same transducer to reproduce the treble content with the sound quality it deserves. (Try singing high falsetto next time you're bench-pressing your limit!)
That is why high-quality sound systems use multiple speakers (woofers and tweeters) to share the work. When the woofer (usually the larger transducer) does all the heavy lifting, the tweeter can easily handle the high-frequency stuff. Three- and four-way systems distribute the work even more, allowing the individual transducers to reproduce the frequency range they are best suited to. It is the crossover's function to divide these tasks between the various transducers.
The CX2310 provides two modes of operation: 2-way stereo, for left and right Lows (woofers) and Highs (tweeters); and 3-way mono, for Lows, Mids and Highs. In either mode, there is an additional output provided for a mono subwoofer with its own frequency range and level controls. This extra feature effectively turns the CX2310 into a stereo 2-way + mono 1-way, or a mono 4-way frequency crossover. The subwoofer signal is presented in mono, since people tend to perceive really low bass frequencies as coming from all directions.
By using 1% metal film resistors, along with other extremely tight-tolerance components, the CX2310 is able to guarantee surgically precise frequency selection with incredibly low thermal noise. State-of-the-art, ultra low-noise op amps ensure super-quiet operation. CX3400's elegant LED matrix shows at a glance which operation mode is selected and which controls are active.

Second Thoughts Game #70: Royals 3, Indians 4
Indians victorious despite fundamental miscues
Ugly wins still count
At times, it felt like the Indians were doing everything in their power to giftwrap a win for Kansas City. Between the wild pitches from Ubaldo Jimenez, a mind-numbingly bad throw to first base by right-hander Cody Allen all the way to the ninth inning where the Tribe had the lead but the Royals had the bases loaded with two outs, nothing was easy for the hometown boys at Progressive Field on Tuesday night.
During the Tribe's recent losing stretch, this would've been a game that they would have lost. This time, however, they showed resilience despite shooting themselves in the foot on multiple occasions. After seven and a half innings of frustrating baseball, it took one decent inning to turn things in the Tribe's favor scoring three runs on four hits to take the lead and win the game.
As far as this win goes in the division standings, the Indians end up regaining possession of second place after a one-night stay down in third. In addition, the Tigers lost to the Orioles 5-2 despite having ace Justin Verlander on the mound, so the Tribe moves back to 4.5 games behind the division leaders.
Effective, but not deep
There have been a lot of things that Ubaldo Jimenez has done well this season. He's cut down on the walks and held the opposition to minimal runs on a regular basis. Commanding the strike zone has also been an area where the right-hander has shown improvement this season.
The glaring issue with Jimenez this season has been pitching deep into games and keeping his pitch count down. He's getting results, but on average has thrown at or near 100 pitches by the fifth inning in the majority of his starts this season. He has pitched as deep as the seventh and eighth innings in a handful of games, but is still averaging right around five innings per start.
However as the old saying goes, beggars can't be choosers and a year ago, Tribe fans would be begging for five effective innings from Ubaldo Jimenez. Perhaps this is a price to pay to get a reliable version of the enigmatic starter. Five innings a start is not the worst thing in the world when talking about Jimenez as long as they're quality innings that give the Indians a chance to win each start.
Rehab notes
Right-handed reliever Blake Wood and Indians closer Chris Perez both pitched an inning for the Indians AA affiliate Akron Aeros on Tuesday night. Wood has been on rehab assignment for the past month or so now after recovering from Tommy John surgery while Perez is currently on the disabled list working his way back from a shoulder strain.
The Indians acquired right-hander Blake Wood early last offseason after spending his entire professional career with the Royals organization. Wood spent the majority of the 2012 season on the disabled list recovering from a torn UCL in his elbow and surgery. Making his fourth rehab appearance for the Aeros, Wood allowed only one hit while striking out the side in a shutout inning of work. In six overall minor league rehab appearances this season, the 27-year-old has no decisions with 1.80 ERA.
Unfortunately, the fate of the Tribe closer did not turn out quite as well. Making his second rehab appearance since going on the disabled list, Chris Perez pitched the second inning in relief of Wood and surrendered five runs on five hits, including three home runs, a double and a hit batsman. He did have a strikeout, though. While there's been no official word to the contrary as of yet, it's unclear at this point if Perez will be able to make his scheduled return date on Friday.
Quote of the Game:
"I might go to the casino tonight. Full uni. Bet on blue," – Terry Francona on his team's luck late in the game.
Up Next: Royals vs. Indians @ Progressive Field. 7:05 first pitch.
The Indians find themselves in their third straight rubber match as they look to take another series. On paper, it's a matchup which appears to heavily favor the Indians as they'll send ace Justin Masterson to the mound against Royals #5 starter Luis Mendoza.
Masterson did have a rough start against the Royals earlier this season giving up seven earned runs in six and a third innings, although he did strike out nine in the game. Mendoza has yet to face the Tribe in 2013, but was 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA in five appearances against Cleveland last year.
Win another series and stay in the race. That's the name of the game right now, folks.

Three runs allowed in the last two games on pitches in the dirt that got away from Santana. These weren't wild pitches that he couldn't get his glove on. These were balls that he was right in front of but couldn't keep from getting past him. He's so bad at blocking balls in the dirt it's a joke. There's a reason the Indians lead the league in wild pitches, and it's not the pitchers.
Next year I'd like to see Gomes catch 75% of the time with Santana as the DH, or alternating with Swisher at 1B/DH.
Did I mention that Carlos is something like 4-for-40 in throwing out base stealers?
Great hitting by Bourn, Kipnis, Aviles and Brantley in the 8th to push three runs across. Hope Masterson wins tonight so we get our third straight series win.

AL East Beat: 5 Things, Week Four
It was another exciting week in the American League East. Of course, there was another pitcher scheduled for Tommy John Surgery. There were transfer rule problems that actually may have cost the Orioles. And, there was even a bit too much pine tar. The AL East is still the toughest division in the sport, even with injuries and controversies impacting teams.
{Discuss the AL East on the BSL Boards}.
The pine tar incident once again involved New York Yankees' starter Michael Pineda, who was thrown out of his start against the Boston Red Sox for having pine tar on his neck. This came a week or so after cameras caught Pineda with a substance on his wrist. The controversy will cost Pineda a 10 game suspension. Because the Yankees have an off day, they will need just one spot starter. As for Pineda, the 25 year old's comeback is marred because of this substance. Some may look at it as cheating, but hearing the YES announcing tandem of Al Leiter and David Cone discuss how pine tar use is an acceptable practice indicates that Pineda wasn't really doing something out of the ordinary. He was simply caught because he didn't hide it well.
When Pineda was seen with the pine tar during his first start against the Red Sox, David Ortiz even said that every pitcher uses it. On New York talk radio, Orioles Director Pitching Rick Peterson stated that pine tar is widely used. Every expert, former pitcher, and current pitcher willing to go on record has stated that pine tar use doesn't impact ball movement and is simply used to get a grip on the ball.
This is where Major League Baseball gets itself in trouble. There are all these unwritten rules and rules with various interpretations. There is a rule saying that a foreign substance cannot be on a person. But, pine tar has been widely used. It just looks poor. If a rosin bag isn't cutting it and teams are turning towards pine tar, sun screen, whatever, Major League Baseball must provide an alternative to rosin that every team uses and eliminates the secrecy. It's common sense, which likely means it will take some time.
As for Pineda, he'll likely be fine. His stuff is there and he will hopefully be counseled by a veteran pitcher on his team or someone on the Yankees' staff about a smarter way to get a grip.
5 Things…
Pineda Impact
The fact that Michael Pineda is missing just one start hides some definite repercussions that hurt that Yankees over the next week and a half. First, they had to unload their bullpen just to finish Pineda's start. Because of that, they needed fresh relievers for Thursday's game. The casualty was Dean Anna, the career minor leaguer who finally made a Major League roster and was doing a credible job as Derek Jeter's backup. The numbers game forced the Yankees to send Anna down for two weeks, leaving them without a true backup shortstop for their 40 year old starter. In addition to Anna, Preston Claiborne was sent down while Shane Greene and Bruce Billings were called up to provide innings to an exhausted bullpen. David Phelps will likely make that start, but the Yankees will now not be able to give their starters an extra day of rest with the off day. For a veteran staff that already lost Ivan Nova, that is a big deal.
Red Sox Starting To Get Healthy
Shane Victorino was finally activated for Thursday's game. Will Middlebrooks is expected to be back by the weekend. Once Middlebrooks is back, it will be the first time that the Red Sox will be able to pencil in their expected lineup all season. With a 10-13 record and coming off of a series loss against the Yankees. The Red Sox rank fourth in the American League in team ERA, but their everyday lineup will need to help boost just a slugging percentage that ranks just 12th in the league. They have survived and remained close during early injuries. They'll hope that the regulars will help in the surge.
Defensive Division
The AL East should have five teams that play stellar defense. Last season, defense was a major factor in the Rays winning the division. Early returns according to defensive runs saved show a much slower start for the division on the defensive end.
Blue Jays: +6 DRS
Rays: -1
Yankees: -5
Orioles: -6
Red Sox: -9
Machado's Return Key
In many ways, the return of Manny Machado is key to the Orioles' chances of gaining a playoff spot. Jonathan Schoop is struggling defensively while Machado is an elite defender at third base. If Machado can show that he still has excellent range, his presence infinitely improves the defense. Offensively, Machado still has to develop, but he showed plus power last season as he blasted 51 doubles, 3 triples, and 14 home runs. The Orioles rank just 12th in the American League in home runs and are currently fielding a lineup that includes Ryan Flaherty and/or Steve Lombardozzi. While both are quality utility players, neither is a quality starter. Machado adds more power and lengthens the lineup. The Orioles do not have a dynamic offense or one that can get on base regularly. Extra base hits are needed throughout the lineup. Machado can provide that while neither of his replacements can.
Gausman Needs To Earn It
Out of spring training, Kevin Gausman deserved a rotation spot with the big club. The Orioles chose to put their best pitcher in the Minor Leagues. Recently, Gausman has struggled with control, now totaling 10 walks in just 16.2 innings. He's also allowed 18 hits, and has struck out 15 batters. While the Orioles' rotation ranks 14th according to WAR value, Gausman should not be called up until he proves his control issues won't deter his success. This likely falls under "small sample size", but the Orioles would be wise to give him a couple more starts before considering a promotion. By the end of the season, Gausman should be the Orioles' best pitcher. Right now, that walk total has to get better before he can help the big league club.

Jump-Start Your Financial Plan with NAPFA
NAPFA financial planners took your questions about retirement, taxes, insurance, saving for college and more.
Hi Judi, Great question. The cool thing about being a planner is we know how to answer these questions, the bad thing about being a planner is we know out to do it our way. I'm sure Kiplinger and I know T Rowe Price has some reitrement calcuators -- but I haven't used them. In general, the pension is treated just like Social Security -- it's a strem of income each year -- and being a teacher, you will likely get some inflationary increases overtime. In these formats, I think the lame answer is to advise that you visit a planner, but before you pull the plug on working -- an visit to an advisor (Fee-Only of course) could pay dividends in avoiding mistakes (retiring too ealry or working too long). Any one know of good web based retirement calculators. Jamie
Robot House, I assume that your question had a joke aspect to. You need to decide how much you need for a downpayment and when that purchase would happen. If, say you need $20,000 for a downpayment in less than 5 years, segregate that money into a short term bond fund or keep it in money market funds. Be very cautious about investing the rest. Since this money must feel like "found" cash, treat it as though it is hard earned money. Invest it wisely in good funds with some guidance from a fee only planner or self education. Do not expect it to turn into $1million.:)
Jay, here's a recent Kiplinger slide show that breaks down 10 low-risk ways to earn more interest on your savings -- www.kiplinger.com
Jay from Germany, here's a book review on my favorite investment book.
Book Review: The Investment Answer
This and anything by John Bogle, founder of Vanguard Funds.
when does it make sense to pay off a mortgage? At age 61, I have about $1.5 million in IRAs and mutual funds, no pension or other income anticipated. My salary is about $65,000. Further - what type of asset allocation makes sense to someone with low risk tolerance?
Paying off student loans vs savings for retirment. Wouldn't it be great to be able to do both. LIke many things it depends. If your studnet loan debt is higher than 8%, pay off the debt. If it lower than 8%, like 4-5%, then I like getting that retirement savings started as soon as possible.
Anjali, putting 20% down is a great idea if you have it, as you avoid paying mortgage insurance. However, right now you can take advantage of incredibly low interest rates and low house values. I think it would be more important to take advantage of these and put a smaller percent down then wait a few years. In a few years if you build up enough equity and save, you could always refinance to get rid of the mortgage insurance.
BMG, first understand that you are not alone. I suspect that many of your neighbors and friends who look like they are financial successful are also struglgling with overspending and debts. The good news is that for now the credit card debt is reasonable. Make a pledge that you will not let it go higher. First take a look at the things you have to pay. If you rent, could you reduce that next time your lease is up by moving to a less expensive place? Do you have car payments? Could you break even by selling the car and then buying a very used but serviceable replacement (I drive a 1994 Caddy. I do remember when a new car was very important to me but those days are long gone and I wish I had all that money back). For savings, realitstically to replace your current income in retirement you need to save (with employer matches) about 15% of your income (OUCH). If that is impossible now, it is a goal you should work toward. When making a budget be sure to make allowances for unusual or irregular items like care repairs and vacations. Put that money into savings to wait for that rainy day so it doesn't destroy your monthly budget when the expense shows up. Finally for all of your descretionary items (how much you are going to spend on groceries, going out, clothing, gifts, personal care, clubs, entertainment, hobbies..you get the idea) figure out how much you have in the budget per week for those items and make a weekly cash withdrawal. When the cash is gone, so is the spending. Now, you need to remember that some of the items I mentioned like clothing are irregular, so if you don't save some of that cash in a envelope somewhere and you need a new pair of shoes, you won't have the cash to pay for it. BTW, to make it a little easier, my clients take a little extra at the first of each month and even a little more extra at the beginning of each quarter. This acts as sort of a safety valve if you will. Good luck! I am certain you can make this work. But you will have to change your lifestyle (game night with friends and spaghetti at home rather than a night out to dinner...make it a contest as to who can throw the best party for the least amount of money).
Anjali, Rich offers some great advice. In addition, here's a recent Kiplinger article you may want to read, What It Takes to Buy a Home.
Recently Widowed, here's a fund portfolio "that seeks to tamp down risk" for retirees who don't want to outlive their money. Initially created back in 2010, so take a fresh look at the funds yourself before making any moves -- www.kiplinger.com
My credit score is right at 640, but it in a year, all of the "bad stuff" will go off my credit report. Would it be better to get a home loan now, while the rates are low (even for my credit) and re-finance later if rates stay low, or wait a year and gamble that the rates won't go up in that time?
Hi Recently Widowed, Great questions. Assuming an up stock market (a seemly poor assumption in the last 10 years), I like mortgages and generlaly do not feel a need to pay them off quickly. But, often clients feel better being debt free. If that is you, pay off the mortgage. If you have a high mortgage interest rate, pay it off or consider refianancing. Of course, I don't know the size of your mortgage either. In my area (Vermont) mortgage are generally not very big ($250,000 and less). As long as you are working, I'd keep a mortgage -- and I would not use IRA money to pay it off. The tax hit is too much, expecailly sicne you are working. I'll tackle the asset allocation next.
Jay, I just thought of another great book recommendation.
The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing
I'm 30, have no debt, and about $130k in the bank ($65k 401(k), $45k Roth, $15k Roth 401(k), $5k reg taxable acct) - I lived at home till I was 27. I'm in pretty risky investments (foreign mutual funds = ~$90k). My question(s) is - what should I be doing next? Is buying a house really the right investment? Should I stay risky? (I'm comfortable with that)
KW, if you have an emergency fund to with withdraw from where you can take money out of to get through tight times, that is where I would take it from. Thats what its there for. I would not advise taking out loans to cover living expenses as this can lead to bad habits. Also take a look at your expenses, there may be some wiggle room to save there.
Good advice, Debbie. VanWinkle, our Ask Kim recently wrote a column touching on this subject: How to Improve Your Credit Score Before Applying for a Loan
I have an account at Edward Jones, but don't want to pay their fees anymore. I've looked at Vanguard and some newer options like Betterment and Plantly for advice/options for managing my retirement savings. How easy is it to move to one of these and which one would you suggest?
Greetings Mark!
You're off to a great start. THere are probably twenty more questions that I want to ask to better understand you and see how I can encourage you to structure your assets in a way best represents your hopes, dreams and current reality. You sound like you are likely a super-saver. I start by writing down my goals. I would also make sure that you're implementing all the advice in this article:
Then, I would schedule a meeting with a fiducairy financial advisor who can help you achieve these goals.
Recently Widowed -- I like to determine asset allcoation by first knowing the strength of ones retirement spending plan. What I mean by this, I have clients that have pensions, social security and do not need much from their portfolio each year. These client typically do not need to be agressively invested -- and for some reason they seem as a group to be more risk adverse. I have other clients like yourself that do not have a pension, so a larger portion of their retirement spending will be from their portfolio. If I projected a retirement plan, (I'm guess here) we may find that if we invested your money ($1.5 mil) for a targeted 5% return, than you may deplete your portoflio before you want. This tells me you need to at least consider a portfolio with higher risk (maybe 50-65% allocated to stock/stock mutual funds). Now remember, I do not know enough about your to say this is your target, but it is a reasonable target for many retires. Once you retirement, I recommend allocating a portio of your portoflio (probably 5 years of spending need) to cash (saving/money market accounts/CDs). This cash protects you from some of the portfolio volitility and hopefully will help you sleep at nights when you hear on the news the market dropped 500 points today. The cash assure you know how you will pay your bills. Jamie

What Would Be Progress In A War On Terror?
In an NPR article about voter perceptions of President Obama's record, the following statement caused me to pause.
'We're not making much progress in the war on terror,' said Paul Goren, a University of Minnesota political scientist who studies voting behavior."
We're not making much progress in the war on terror? What does that mean?
What is this "war on terror" that Goren is talking about? Fighting in Afghanistan? Airport security?
What kind of "progress" with the "war on terror" are we supposed to be making? Is it measured by people being more vigilant, enemies smacked down, or simply by people feeling less terror?
How is the rate of "progress in the war on terror" under Obama perceived to be different from the rate of "progress in the war on terror" under George W. Bush?
What would let us know when this "war on terror" is finally over? Would it ever be over, or just in a state of "progress"?

Tah - posted on 06/18/2011
I think the young offenders act is there because at that age your brain doesn't work as an adults brain works. Some can't appreciate that a kick to the head really will kill you. Some, at that age can't appreciate the finality of death. I mean the shows and games that they watch and play nowadays, people die every episode. Even at 18 the brain hasn't fully matured. Should it be assessed on a case by case basis. I would hate to see a 19 year old on death row because of his 17 year old gf and mad parent..lol
[deleted account]
I would say yes if people could exercise a little common sense with it. I think we could do away with murderers but if we say yes to the death penelty for murderers what do you think will happen to that 5 year old that shot his abusive parent while trying to defend a sibling, stuff like that makes me hesitant to say yes for death penetly for sure. I would say yes to death penelty for sex offenders, child molestors do not deserve to be breathing, but what about situations where two consenting people have sex say an 18 year old with their 16 year old s/o who they've been with since grade school or something like that, parents don't like it report it and next thing you know the 18 yr old is dead and the 16 yr old is dealing with a really messed up mental state. And then of course there is always that one person who went to jail for something they didn't do and 20 years later they catch who really did it. I don't know I think the judicial system is flawed enough without them having the right to kill people. Get rid of all the evil people in the world yeah that'd be great, have a real deterent to prevent other people from committing crimes that would work wonders, but at the end of the day I think its good in theory but theres just too many variables to sign on for it. Lol I know personally if littering could be punishable by death the streets would be pretty squeaky clean but I couldn't sleep at night if I knew that that highschool kid who accidentally dropped his gum was facing being hanged.
So yes I think death penalty is a good idea IF our judges had some common sense and there was an age limit, and if it were only for cases where they absolutely know for sure the person is guilty with out a doubt.
Barb - posted on 06/17/2011
Because there are 7 billion people in the world. It won't hurt our resources to do away with the ones who selfishly bring harm upon others.
I think it should apply to Sexual assualts, murder, and what the wall St CEO's and bankers did. Not minor fraud but scams and fraud that threaten our national security and livelihood.
I think deciding should be between the judges, the jury and the family of the victim.
Starting at 18.
I also think they should die the same way they killed someone else. Have done to them what they did to others.
Brie - posted on 07/10/2011
well to be completely honest i don't know if i agree with the death penalty right away!! I am one of those people who believe in the cruel and unusual punishment that the USA is so against... i believe that the death penalty should eventually be carried out on rapists and murderers mainly... if it was a quick shot and no torture then fry them... but if there was torture or rape involved well then i think they should have it all done right back to them!! but make it slow and painful to the point they beg for death and then lock them in with prisoners who hate them and then eventually fry them! I feel people should have to experience what they put others through just so they can appreciate it. also i think just frying them is to easy.. truly i think we are just doing them a favor... but thats just me.. now if it was just robbery and nobody was physically hurt then no don't fry them.. maybe have a three strikes your out kinda thing i don't know.. i just think that death penalty for theft is over the top.. unless they killed or physically hurt someone... I think they should do a viewers opinion poll kinda thing... air the trial and those who watch should cast their votes and the jury will deliberate and then let the judge do real sentencing or whatever... I believe at 18 you are good enough to fry if you could hurt someone!!
Rosie - posted on 07/10/2011
just went back and read a few responses, and i have to agree with tah on the age thing. there's a reason why we have laws protecting minors from sexual offenses (statuatory rape), a reason why we don't let them drive until a certain age, a reason why they can't drink or smoke until a certain age.
it boggles my mind how someone can be all upset that a 38 year old man goes and has consentual sex with a 15 year old, screaming "that poor baby" the whole time, and in the next breath want to sentence a CHILD as they would an adult if they commit a crime. their brains simply don't process things the way adults brains do. hell, i've seen it stated that it doesn't even happen until we're like 25 or something. i've NEVER understood trying a child as an adult.
Teresa - posted on 07/10/2011
I am for the death penalty.
For what crimes? Murder and rape for sure.
The law needs to prescribe who is eligible for the death penalty ( it does in the USA)
Age- anyone charged in a court of law as an adult
Amanda - I understand that it doesn't work as a deterrent but it rids society of its most dangerous elements. That's good enough for me.
Barb - posted on 07/10/2011
I'm actually on both sides. *deep breath here*
A man is also in prison for committing a horrible crime. I think he should have been sentenced to death as well and many times i hope he doesn't make it out alive. My father died the day he told me what he did. I grieved for him for a long time, I grieved for the man that was my son's grandpa, who had walked me down the aisle, supported me, gave me a good education, rocked me to sleep at night singing to me that i was a precious jewel in the crown of God. That man is dead. I don't know the man who is in prison and i don't want to know him. I hope he never gets out.
Please don't think bad of me for what he did.. i never knew anything about the judicial system until he went. He had never been in trouble before except for a speeding ticket or 3. No one in my family had.
Tah - posted on 07/10/2011
I think you have a unique point of view with this barb, being on the side people hope they never have to be on...in cases like bobs I say kill them. It's the cases where the evidence isn't clear cut that bother me knowing that all types of bias exist in the world that land innocent people in jail all the time.
Barb - posted on 07/10/2011
Hey Amanda, i was agreeing with you when you said: "Personally, I like the idea of some scumbag murderer rotting in prision getting shanked and butt-raped for the rest of his natural life. "
Those are all your words, not mine. I don't care if you think i have sick fuck thinking, but hell woman, own your words at least.
And yes i think they should be killed to keep it easier on the family as well as save us millions of dollars a year.
Everytime they go to court and appeal, that family is reliving the death of their loved one over and over again, instead of getting to celebrate their life and move on from the horrible events that robbed them of their loved one. That is sheer torture through no fault of their own to have to do that.
Dyan, right now, it is ultimately up to the judge to decide.. at least here in Indiana. But the victims family gets to give letters and statements at the sentencing hearing that may or may not influence the judge's decision.
Rosie - posted on 07/09/2011
i'm for it. i can't stand the thought of murderers getting to live with their cable and 3 squares while they took away the life of someone elses loved one. they also forever altered their own families lives, along with their victims.
only 1rst degree murder with conslusive DNA evidence should qualify for it.
who should decide? i'm confused? doesn't a judge decide?
at what age is to young? under 18.

bs on agreeing to disagree. this is a debate not a tea party.
yes, I am against the death penalty as stated before.
1. I fear an innocent will be found too late
2. I wish for long and torturous lives for those truly guilty
you will always win if debating me on this one, I know. what about those tortured and then found innocent. or what about our prisons being lax.
there is no logic for me here. just that I wish those that cause suffering to suffer. and I don't feel good about that. but I feel it.
Amanda - posted on 07/05/2011
We will have to agree to disagree. (butt raping a serial killer is wrong, and no I don't condone it, it just happens. Although, most death row prisoners aren't in the general population, and don't get much ass action. So much for making a joke about it. Forced sodomy isn't funny anymore? Geez...)
So, I think killing is wrong, and I don't like the government do it in my name. Fine.
You think killing is justified because its cheaper and makes victims' families feel better.
We will have to agree to disagree.
Barb - posted on 07/05/2011
You don't condone it? Didn't you say you personally like the idea?
It is a deterrent in that killing the person will keep them from killing anyone else. I agree it won't keep people from murdering because they don't think they will be caught, therefore they don't think of the consequences. But what is the alternative to death? Life. Life in prison that we have to pay for? A life of being shanked and raped, living in fear?
I say it's kinder to kill them.
The families of murder victims suffer each time the murderer tries to get out on appeal, why should these obviously innocent people have to continually suffer? Is that also not cruel and inhumane?
Why does the murderer who took someone's life without a trial or a chance to appeal, get all the benefits and rights he took away from his victim?
Amanda - posted on 07/05/2011
Well, I don't condone the shanking and butt raping, but that's what happens in prision. At least if you are innocent in prison, you have the chance at some point to be re-tried and released. ( and your butt-rapist prosecuted.)
But, let's take your premise that the only people executed are guilty. There are 1,000 witnesses who saw them do it, there is DNA evidence, and they confessed. Okay. What lesson is executing someone supposed to teach? That killing is wrong? 'Don't kill because killing is wrong and the state will kill you to show how wrong killing is.'? It is circular logic. Killing is wrong, whether it is a mother killing her child, a serial killer chopping people up, or the State executing a convicted criminal. Killing is killing, and killing is wrong.
One cannot even argue that it is a deterrent. First of all the numbers don't back that up. Statistics show the opposite is true. Plus, it is just plain illogical. The death penalty does not act as a deterrent because, murder is committed for three different resons. Passion, Profit, and Compulsion. Passion crimes can't be deterred, they are irrational and spur-of-the-moment. No punishment can deter that. People don't weigh risk vs. reward when is a frenzy. The people who kill for profit do it very rationally, and are convinced they will not be caught. And then there are crimes by compulsion. A sexual criminal kills a child, this cannot be deterred, it's a compulsion, a mental defect, if you will.
But, I'm aware I am in the minority. Most American feel that killing a human being can be justified....
Barb - posted on 07/05/2011
I do have to say, i also like the idea of scumbag murders getting shanked and ass raped for a long and painful time, however, isn't that also cruel and inhumane? and what if the person getting shanked and ass raped is innocent? isn't that also sick fuck thinking?
Again, death penalty for people who were seen doing the murder, or have admitted to it.
[deleted account]
No. I'm against killing people of any age for any reason.
Amanda - posted on 07/05/2011
Also... the death penalty does not work as a deterrent.
It can be incredibly inhumane and a painful way to die. (I know someone out there is saying "Good. I hope that rapist/murderer suffers." Read your Constitution, folks... no "cruel and unusual punishment".)
Sure, most people on death row are guilty. But what about that one guy who isn't? If you are okay with murdering an innocent for the privlage of murdering the guilty, you are one sick fuck.
Personally, I like the idea of some scumbag murderer rotting in prision getting shanked and butt-raped for the rest of his natural life.
Amanda - posted on 07/05/2011

She was released July 4th, 2005

again...no time to fully read but will tonight. bleeding heart me. and canadian. against death penalty. would rather see them suffer in prison for rest of lives. that said we'd probably need an overhaul of what prisons are but am not an expert by any means on this. anyone familiar with karla homolka or scarborough rapist (canadian). awful awful crimes commited and many young girls tortured and killed. she gets off with reduced sentence and gets that eddicashun while in prison. kaleigh wasn't she even released?
promise to read this one tonight so not talking through ass.
Barb - posted on 06/20/2011
I don't know if it would be a deterrent or not. I guess one way of looking at it is to check out Texas's murder rate. They have the harshest penalties for murder. If two or more people saw you commit the crime, you go to the front of the line to be executed.
Here is a chart that shows Texas is ranked #15 out of 50 states for having the most violent crime per capita.
Other articles have blasted Texas that the harsh penalties don't keep people from committing the crime. I'm okay with that.
I don't expect laws to keep me safe. Safety is really an illusion. What i have learned over the last year is that justice and punishment are two separate things. Justice is what the lawyers and the perpetrators agree with. Punishment might be their time in prison, but it doesn't equal justice for us. Their families get to see them, talk to them, get feed back from them, send christmas presents they know will be opened. Visit on father's and mother's day.
To me it doesn't matter if it is a deterrent or if they even thought of the consequences before committing the crime. Most people don't think of the consequences because they don't think they will be caught.
For me the consequences are real justice. No, the consequences won't bring the victim back, but it should ensure it never happens again. And putting them to death will make sure it never happens again.
And again, i'm meaning where it is beyond a reasonable doubt that they killed someone. Where two or more people saw them do it. Like in the Gabrielle Giffords shooting. There is no doubt he killed that little girl and the other innocent bystanders.
Why should we want to clothe, feed, medically care for, and house this person? Why should we provide them with an education we couldn't afford to give to our own family member they killed?
It's not right, and it's not justice.

Also kaleigh, a teen that's not drunk probably doesn't think that far, let alone a drunk one. That's why in most cases there should be a difference, a teen isn't called an adult for a reason. That is because hey aren't.
Tah - posted on 06/19/2011
We could just agree to disagree...but this a debate forum...lol, so we debate...lol. I never said you were a bad person for your beliefs. I also never said people shouldn't be held accountable for their actions. Heck yes a 16 year old should be held responsible for his actions. I'm just not sure he should receive the same punishment as a fully grown man. As I stated, you can't have it both ways. Tell me I'm not old enough to do other things because of my mental state and then turn around and treat me as if I do understand by giving me adult penalties. It just doesn't make good sense.
Kaleigh, I am on the fence as well. I'm sure there are innocent people who have and will receive it, is that blood I want on my hands. Then sometimes I listen to or read the news and I would love to pull the switch on some of these people..or really..pull it a little then stop....throw some water on them, pull it some more then stop..let the victims family member come over and pull it a little..kick them..then stop..lol. So I understand why you are on the fence cause that me next to you.
[deleted account]
I get what both of you are saying and I'm still on the fence. I agree with Michelle that if we held everyone accountable for their actions the amount of crime would drop but I still couldn't handle hearing about a child being given the death penalty or something like that. Yep I think the bar should be set and then they should handle it on a case by case basis making sure to take in the age and circumstances. It drives me nuts when I hear certain things like a friend of my hunni's was charged with attempted manslaughter or something because he was drunk and thought he'd go around stealing stopsigns. The idiot teen was surprised they wanted jail time for a petty theft...it wasn't just theft though it was stopsigns what if someone had crashed and died because he had stolen them? Didn't think about that, how many drunk teens would? Ah but why was he drunk under age to begin with and roaming around the streets while intoxicated? Anyway he ended up getting a few months in jail and probabation because the fact was you can't send a kid to jail for what might of happened and didn't, but what kind of lesson does that teach? its okay to pull stupid reckless shit we'll wait until you actually kill someone before we do anything about it. Do I think he should have been put to death for it though, no way. So as much as I agree that when you put yourself in certain situations you are responsible for what happens I do get that sometimes people aren't capable of thinking things through that far.
If we run out of milk and its late and I decide to run to the store while my hunni is home with the kids am I not assuming all responsability for what happens while I'm out. What if someone attacks me or tries to rape me and I defend myself and they end up dead in the struggle without me using any excessive force or anything like that? Should I be sent to the gas chamber because I tried to defend myself, I mean a judge would see that as I was the idiot that left my house after dark right? I put myself in a situation where I could have been attacked and now I'm a murderer the same as any other. Scary thought.
Michelle - posted on 06/18/2011
Like I said, I respect your opinions, and your way of thinking. I just think society makes too many excuses for peoples behaviour. Whether they intended to do it or not, whether they fully understand the consequences or not...they should be held accountable for those actions. Example, a 16 year old gets behind the wheel drunk, kills someone in a drunken crash. Of course he thinks he's invincible, of course he thinks it'll never happen to him...I have seen plenty of grown men and woman who think the same way. Whether a fully grown adult, or teenager, they CHOSE to get behind that wheel intoxicated. Whether you are a teen or an adult, you are responsible for your actions, not what you think your actions may or may not do. I just can't agree with the Young Offenders Act, and truly believe in the Death Penalty. That doesn't make me a bad person for my beliefs, nor do I think badly of you for your opinions, and beliefs. Those are yours, and I respect that. So, we can just agree we disagree!!! Have a great night!

I would have thought the same thing a few years ago, I'm not saying they they don't know right from wrong. I'm saying that adolescents don't think rationally..that's not me., that's all my psyche classes. I used to think my teenager was out his mind when I was asking him to explain himself...those classes turned my hair back from gray to reddish brown because his excuses were worse than the act..lol. Right from wrong is one thing. Understanding fully the consequences is quite another. Some don't fully understand the finality of death or fully understand that they aren't invincible. That's why they make the choices they do and are in many cases NOT treated as adults, because they aren't. It's a reason we don't let 14 year olds drive and drink...their brains are still developing, they don't fully understand and we can't have it both ways. You a tent mature enough to drink, drive, vote eye, but you understand full well the full consequences, in every aspect, of fighting and kicking people while are down. Now, I wad a bad girl, vie kicked some people and I'll tell you at that age I did think I was invincible and I didn't ever want to kill anyone, didn't mean I couldn't have with one misplaced kick whether I wanted to or not. Now as a mom and in what I do I have a better understanding of how children think and deal accordingly. Now house arrest..pish tosh, I would have wanted him to spend time in juvenile detention until at least 18 with therapy and rehab but I don't think he should have been given life or death
Michelle - posted on 06/18/2011
While I get what you are saying Tah Dula, I can only agree to a point. My children are 9 and 11, and know the difference between right and wrong. They know that violence can lead to death whether it is intentional or not. I however, do NOT agree with the Young Offenders Act. At what point is a person responsible for his/her actions. Giving them the knowledge that they can take a life or can put their hands on someone in violence, and there is no serious consequence is NOT the answer. I believe if you start with one (giving them either the death penalty, or life in prison), many others may think twice before hurting someone else!

The so-called friend who originally came to court to testify against him called him said, I'll tell the truth before the trial, then came in answered "I do not recall to every question when reminded of his testimony..so he could tell the truth, but not get charged with perjury. Of course he was one of the ones the victim DID identify. Another witness came and said, he left the area at least 2 hours before the robbery took place. the judge looked at him, said "you are a menace, I think the victim is mistaken, and the 2 witnesses are lying so you don't get in trouble 20 years for strong-arm robbery serve at least 5 and remain on probation for the remainder of 15 years." I almost went into labor when I heard that and saw his face being led away. While in there, he got his GED since he was only 17, came out, enrolled in college and has job and car. The guy who did it....ran around the neighborhood bragging that he sent someone else up for his crime...I know this person dearly so I get exactly what Kaleigh is saying.

Murder isn't always murder. There are degrees of murder. Murder where it's an accident, murder where it is self defense, murder where it is intentional, murder to cover up a crime. There is also manslaughter, which is a lesser charge.
When i say "murder" i'm meaning the people that intentionally set out to kill someone who wasn't doing anything wrong. Or murder someone to cover up another crime or during the act of a crime. Like they went to rob the gas station and the gun accidentally went off and now the poor guy who was just doing his job behind the counter is dead.
The people who commit the murder would also have to be competent. They would have to know what murder was, what they had done, what the consequences are.

Barb - Oh my gosh...that is absolutely HORRIFYING! Where is the justice in that? I just don't understand. The way I see it, a person gives up all rights when they commit a serious/federal crime. If they choose to do something against the law, why are there laws to protect that person? It just makes no sense to me what so ever. But even still...at least they spent some time in jail. This boy, had a bracelet on his ankle and lived at home with his parents for 18 months. In which he was only allowed to go to school. I am absolutely horrified at our laws here in Canada. Teenagers will look you right in the eye and say "Yea? What are you gonna do about it?". And they know, legally, there is nothing we can do. It's horrifying, they have no consequences for their actions. Spare the rod, spoil the child...There is sooo much truth in this saying!

Everytime i see this thread title i'm reminded of a number of years ago. We were in Minnesota at the fishing cabin. I was doing dishes and listening to talk radio. The topic was the death penalty. This little old lady called in, and with her sweetest grandma voice said; "I agree with the death penalty, i just think it should be more painful"
Michelle, i agree with the age thing, although, for murder here in Indiana, they have been known to try teenagers as adults, as young as 13. Then they get the same penalty as an adult.
Back in `92 there was a case where 4 girls got together, ages 17, 16, 15, and 15, kidnapped, tortured, raped, beat, stabbed, and set on fire a 13 year old girl while she was still alive.
One girl was sentenced to 20 years, only served 8, Another girl was sentenced to 60 years and only served 14, the other two girls were sentenced to 60 years and will be eligible for parole in 2020. So will only have served 28 years of a 60 year sentence.
The girl they killed will never get a sentence reduction.

Keeping murderers, rapists, child molesters in prison for 25 to life is soooo costly. And why? Who was there to protect the innocent? These prisoners collect welfare, pensions...for what? They are in prison. They also can get university degrees, get better meals than some. And who's paying for it? The tax payers. The dealth penalty would be less costly. And it would get these criminals out of the system. I think if you are old enough to commit a serious crime, then you are old enough for the dealth penalty. In Canada, there is a young offenders act, which is basically an excuse for these kids between the ages of 12 and 18 to do whatever they want, and there are no real consequences. A 14 year old beat a kid to death by giving him kicks to the head. This kid got house arrest. I couldnt believe it...HOUSE ARREST? He murdered a boy, he may not have planned to actually kill him, but if you take the boots to someone's head, what do you think is going to happen? I think we need a stricter justice system, and definately the death penalty for both teenagers and adults alike. All actions should have consequences!!!

Thanks, I am long since tired of Rs screwing up these fights.
If I was a Dem now it would be laughs and parties every day for me, they never had things so good.
If this R party was in charge of D-day then they would of broadcasted their specific beach landing positions to the troops uncoded on AM radio, in England, so the Krauts could listen and plan the slaughter. Commander Klink and Sgt Schultz would be in charge of the landing too.
Calling them cowards wouldnt help much when the Germans rolled in the tanks and bombs and killed them before they even reached shore because of sheer stupidity.
How's this analogy GOPsterinMA ?? :)

Screenshots for Female Masturbation Techniques
Description for Female Masturbation Techniques
Just because you don't have a man doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a happy sex life. Masturbation will help a woman get in touch with what really turns her on. This is information that she can share with her man or keep to herself.
These are some masturbation techniques that will provide you hours of pleasure.
..The shower head. A lot of female masturbation takes place in water. Not surprising. The warm sensation of being surrounded while you are also being pleased adds to the excitement of the moment. It is better if you have one of the shower heads that pulsates. You can find these at any department store. Never knew a trip to Wal-Mart could be so fun...
