LoveUSA - He deserved to be stabbed? I'd hate to piss you off. What could he have done to deserve possible death? Break up with her?

Gate open or closed, anybody could get onto school property. The gates are only good for show. Look for local teens who have no (or poor) adult supervision.

According to wikipedia, the virus is "transmitted by faecally contaminated food or water"(cut and pasted from their website). In other words, human feces got into the food at that very expensive hotel. Is that bad luck for the bride and groom?

LoveUSA-so was it ok for the father to torture his kid for so long? Of course I wouldn't really do that to him even if I had the chance. The statement was made only to emphasize the cruelty of what happened. Judgement of the father should be left to God. "Vengence is mine, I will repay sayeth the Lord".

bushlover, the brain itself doesn't feel pain. I vote they take those needles from the boy and push them into the dad's eyes and testicles

The fact that a Serb would convict another Serb surprises me. Maybe there's hope yet.

When I visited the Arizona Memorial in 1995, some of the Japanese tourists were laughing inside the memorial. I can't say for sure what they were laughing at, but poor taste nonetheless. I sure wouldn't laugh at Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

I spoke to some family counselors. They told me that family abuse cases are actually about 60% women victims and 40% men victims. Not much is heard about men victims though, because it's embarrassing.

If she used a golf club to break the rear window to get him out, what the hell was she doing in the street with a golf club at 2:30 in the am (besides chasing him with it)? If I was in my house and heard an accident, I wouldn't think of grabbing a golf club before running outside. It's not because she feared for her safety, especially in a gated community with security. Anyway, if his wife is so violent, who could blame him for looking elsewhere?

It seems to have been a domestic dispute after all. This happened two days after a story about an alleged affair was released. Seems a known gold-digging woman, whom he was rumored to be having a affair with, just happened to be staying in the same hotels Tiger was staying in.
Look for this story to quietly die away, and for their pending divorce announcement. Having assault charges pending against her will likely decrease her divorce settlement.

It may be one of two things - either he was drunk and there's a cover-up because he's a celebrity, or he had a fight with his wife and left the house in an emotional state.
Why else would somebody hit a tree AND a fire hydrant (this story forgot to mention)at 2:30 in the morning?

For the "insanity" plea to work, the defendant must not have been able to tell right from wrong at the time of the crime. That's gonna be a tough sell since the guy was an Army officer and a psychologist.

No jail time. If he felt threatened, he has the right to defend himself. Should have thrown him out 26 years ago.

The legal system is the least of their worries...
"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones...it were better for him (the offender) that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
"...Vengence is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord".
Even if they get the death penalty, it won't be over for them...ever.

I believe in a woman's right to choose - they can choose to have unprotected sex or not (rape/incest cause only a small fraction of pregnancies). Is your child inconvenient? Should have taken precautions. Because getting aborted is sure as hell inconvenient for the unborn.

Many foreigners who live in Japan are surprised to know that HIV and AIDS is increasing rapidly in Japan. Why? Only gaijins have HIV/AIDS? Or are Nihonjins immune?
