On Opera (the browser I use) they show several links to things that are trending, or that might be of interest. I do not know if they track what I've researched before to bring me this selection, or if it's random. However, I...

The Horse @TheHorse (238356) • Walnut Creek, California 13 Mar 17

My young friend was excited to accompany me to Trader Joe's tonight. While we were grabbing some wine (his mom and I both enjoy wine), I said "Merci beaucoup" to him. A gentleman to my right said, "Parlez-vous Français?" I...

California Bill Sure Isn't a California Dream

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 31 Aug 16

I know this is a global community. I know there are members here who are in California. This is in no way intended to be insulting to them. But I feel compelled to speak. Never lived in California. Never even visited...

The Horse is arrested and released at Kaiser today!

The Horse @TheHorse (238356) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Jul 16

All of this just happened. I was standing in line at the Kaiser Pharmacy, when I heard a baby crying. I could tell by the cry that it was a 1 1/2 or 2-year-old, and I located the source of the crying. It was a 1 3/4-year-old in a...

Last Words of Death Row Inmates

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 30 Sep 15

Went through each slide. All 25 of them. Not one of those convicts said "I'm sorry." Is it because "sorry" is such a hard word to say? Depressing. Thought maybe there was one who would express remorse....

Outcome of the shooter at fort Hood in Texas

Steve @shoffman2000 (560) • Alexandria, Virginia 14 Nov 09

I think the alleged shooter will get life in prison as did the bomber who terrorized the USA with small bombs. This bomber was a PHD person who attempted to defend himself in federal court; it obvious he was crazy. He got life in...

Creative Punishments

TLChimes @TLChimes (4822) • United States 5 May 09

A fellow MyLotter got me thinking. Well, many of you do that but she sparked this thought. What punishment can be given to criminals that has them serving us instead of just time? I'm thinking something for the greater...

The works of Dostoyevsky

Dysonsphere @Dysonsphere (64) 4 Nov 08

You a fan? I first read Crime and Punishment as a kid (well early teens) and loved it. I then went on to read a lot of Dostoyevzky's stuff with i think The Idiot being a favourite. Never read The Brothers Karamazov though so if...

What would happen if we stuck all the criminals on an island by themselves?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 13 Jul 08

Maybe like an island for criminals, no bars. Just sand and surf, huts and thousands of miles of ocean to hold in prisoners. Do you think that would work? It wouldn't be a vacation. Just a way to separate prisoners from...

zjfelling @zjfelling (5) • United States 2 Apr 08

I've read both of these novels. They are both quite similar in nature. I prefer Crime and Punishment; however, The Trial is deeper. Any opinions.
