This guy and the other guy who flew the plane into the IRS are two different situations, for instance and point of reference, but both are guilty of Treason, like a Timothy McVeigh. The guy who flew the plane into the IRS building was doing so out of revenge. According to the news reports, this guy in this New York Square situation...is GUILTY of Treason...if in fact the government can prove that he is directly linked [Shahzad has claimed that he had contacts with many top notch extremist leaders, such as killed Pakistan Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud, radical American-born Muslim cleric Anwar Awlaki and others] . What they do, does produce terror, however, but their goals were different . Both are guilty of treason by that definition. Levying war = flying plane into IRS building. Levying war = failed new york square attempt. Both men are citizens of the US [i think and believe], but they were both an ARMY OF ONE. it doesn't take a group to wage war...therein lies the problem with the definition. I think!

congrats! sounds like a bunch of heresay, posturing and lack of substantial evidence that isn't...once again, heresay...

I would agree with Kendall, to a point, BUT not to the same degree! Brian, I will say the act of fighting dogs is deplorable, BUT in his "ganster thug" society...this is COMMONPLACE. Yet and still, I don't agree with it, but failing to understand the cultural and societyal values of another subset of our species is...I wouldn't say exactly wrong...just different. It's like me knowing of Gefilte fish or Matzah balls or that Jewish people like to eat little bitty pickles @ New York style Delicatessens. Yes, I think he should have served time for his offense, but not to the degree of BANKRUPTCY! Vick made a mistake, a BIG F-ing MISTAKE, but it shouldn't cost him, his LIFE! Vick made a mistake, he didn't, nor ever needed a public Lynch Mobbing... that's how I feel about it! Give him his job!!!

No, really? You are serious about this? It can't be. If it is true and valid, that's like the best Saturday Night Live skit of all time...but, for REAL!

I think Facebook, as one of the leading social networking sites, should set a precedent with this issue. There are other places for hate to manifest. Special sites one could go to, to communicate with others of the same hateful mind. It isn't about Religion...it's about breaking the cycle. Alas, this is one thing that religion must do as well...in order for us to evolve as a SPECIES!

with the other portion of the money, I would invest it in my friends to start businesses of their own...or give them the $$$ for their operating costs/research and development...so on and so forth...after they showed me a proper business plan. Lastly, I would set aside another portion of it, that I couldn't touch for 10 years, that would pay my bills for 10 more years. The goal would be to tie up the money so I couldn't spend it...knowing myself! At the end of this 20 year period...if nothing had matriculated...I'd just continue being an acsetic...living the simple life. BUT, that's just me!

I''ve thought long and hard about this. Not about all these people who screwed up royally, but what would I do, if put into the same situation. If for instance, I sold a million books and then had money to play with. What I would do or what maybe they should have done is??? set aside enough money [a certain %] to pay your bills for 10 years hypothetically at a comfortable rate. STOP Keeping up with the jones and living way beyond my means... that just seems stupid to me! I watched my parents do it [living way beyond my means] and I'm not going to follow in their footprints! Materialism at is finest, doesn't really matter. He who dies with the most toys, still dies!

4] and terry...I don't think wages should be taken into account when imposing a fine, but that's just me! To me, that's a violation of civil rights...FAIR AND EQUAL TREATMENT...albeit, I guess each judge decides what is fair and equal in each case...

Yet and still, I understand that I could be wrong about the points I just made

ok, I'll try to keep this short,but I've got a lot to say.

1] Vick was made into the EXAMPLE, not justice by example. To the best of my knowledge, he is the highest profiled, most well known "dog fighter" who was caught. The judge and the jury sent a message to ghettos across the nation.

2] about what Rich and Marc said...it appears that things are different when you look aggressive like vick and not sweet and innocent like hilton and stewart. I guess, you could say...that women are given special treatment and I'll refrain from turning to this into a color issue. To me, Vick could never escape how he grew up...

3] I completely agree with Tara!--- OJ got off easy, until he started playing stupid, for a point of reference! Alas, Chris Brown hasn't been proven guilty yet and OJ never was, but we all know better...

Once again, that was a great read. Alas, my favorite part was what the doctor had to say. Yes, the Hitler lineage should be caste aside, but it isn't the only lineage that I believed should be expired. However, it does remain on the top of my list. I guess, these three boys, should just offer themselves to science if nothing else matriculates. It seems like the best possible good, that they could do for humanity besides not F*ing up the gene pool. I'm glad these boys took on a positive outlook, after so many years of trying to make $$$ off of their relation to Adolf. I'm glad that they understood, that being related to this man was a negative and not a positive. I just wish more people would do what is best for the whole of humanity and not do what is good for their own selfish nature.....
