Youth gets 2 year ban from town

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 5 Aug 11

A nasty 17 year old lad went to court for verbally and physically hurting people in my home town. I think that saying he can't see any of 14 other trouble makers is a very good idea. I hope that when a horrible person like this...

Sharia Law vs Christian Law

ladybugmagic @ladybugmagic (3978) • United States 27 Nov 10

A lot of posters here frown on Sharia Law. I will be honest and say I don't understand it. I don't get why a woman would have her nose cut off, or a woman who is raped would then be killed for shaming her family. Or the use of...
