All criminals need to be sent to Australia. Is it not a penal colony? It was and should continue to be. In the U.S. we should open all of our jails, let the drug dealers, child molesters, rapists, robbers and murderers loose upon society. Legalize all drugs; we'll only lose a few million to the resulting overdoses and homicides. Guilty of theft?

incomprehensible brutality (Albert Fish, Diane Downs, Alfred Hitler, Aileen

through circumstances perfectly avoidable in a better society. Exactly what
that society would be, I have no idea, but I suspect it would have to involve
a whole lot more tolerance, much less greed and an extremely limited
power given to the tiny elite.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraHa! I met a cokehead the other night. She was a skank whose "boyfriend" and the "boyfriend's" "girlfriend" beat her up and kicked her out of her apartment. She was on the street and trying to catch a ride so that some guy she knew would give her some money for a half hour's work of some undisclosed kind so she could get a room for the night.
Why do you think so? I don't believe there is any empirical evidence it reduces hard drug usage, but it does cost lots of money, especially considering cocaine users tend to be found amongst higher social classes.
Pretty girl, but her body was all messed up - wrinkled, saggy belly from a C-section, at 22 years old! She was real ghetto trash.
I got her some food and gave her a ride to buy some shoes, but she kept asking for more from me...I had to leave her on the streets where I found her. She offered herself to me but I didn't go for it...
Not all coke users are upper class!

I couldn't care less Seitse. I never said raped, abused when passed out by
a homosexual, yes. I haven't made any homophobic comments. I outrightly
don't like the acts or the motives, that's my right.
The PM I sent you saying I think you and Palynka are OK and that's why I'm
picking a fight with you? Is that the one? The PM that was trying to persuade
you not to follow this line of inquiry becuase you'll get burnt. That one you mean?

That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes!
Really, did you buy her shoes??
