They were real lucky they were not maimed or killed as the car was totaled. I told him straight up and he agreed. He was just as responsiple for getting in that car as the driver. He knew he was drunk and they were both accountable. I find it odd how some bloggers here are calling for the head of this young girl. She made a error in judgement that most people have made in life, hers just ended in tradgedy. I also am assuming that these 3 young men knew she was drunk, let her drive, got into the car and were probably drunk themselfs. They were all culpable in thier deaths. Hopefully she gets the punishment she deserves and is able to recover in life. I'll bet her friends would want that.

We don't know all of the facts, was there alcohol involved, had he sought out treatment. War is hell, and you can do everything to reel in our men and help them, but it doesn't change what thier going through.

Also if Satan was busy, what was god doing to stop it.

Odd that the Neo Nazis and KKK in America vote almost down the line conservative. If fact the Neo Nazis in Germany associate themselfs with the rights and attack Liberals when possible. Just saying. BTW, this has nothing to do with these girls being attacked, and neither do liberals or conservatives. Ill bet the Attacker could care less about what the politics were.

Why does the right try and blame every instance on Liberals. There has been crime in schools since the beginning of civilizations. The couple who went on a killing spree recently were right wing, neo nazis, to blame thier Idology on the conservatives is out of line. And so are you. What would you say if the child who committed the crime came from a christian, disciplined family. Not to say that happened.

I will say that I agree with your original comment. When you play with the devil your bound to get burned. I have understood since this first happend in 1989 that it was a drug deal gone bad. Any sane person knows that your at risk when dealing with dealers and drug enforcement. We would show no remorse if she and her boyfriend had been caught and demanded that her kids be removed from her. She may not have deserved to be shot and killed but she definatly put herself in that position.

If Smith had continued to live he would have never ammended poligamy. He impregnated no less then three 14 year old girls and two others under 16 and out of wedlock. He would be in prison today, and mocked by society. No Doubt.

Growing up there I never thought of Utah as , though a strict conservative state, or at least no more then other states. We drank beer, Partied, had premartial sex and such. Everybody hunted had guns cussed and so forth. It seems when I go back that the extreme Mormons, those who adhere strictly to the religion are becoming more prominant, thus the tightning of laws and regulations. Don't mind the protest, think its funny but it won't get them anywhere. I am no longer a Mormon myself as I belief Joseph Smith was a pedophile and a fraud. As information becomes available this becomes apparent. He took the Bible and used it to his advantage to gain power, just as he tried with fraudulently trying to milk investers with his false treasures prior to "Moroni" visiting him. As far as wearing garments to remain pure, I have no problem with that either, whatever chasity belt ou need to keep yourself in check is your own buisness.

Especially in Josh Powells age range and younger. It doesn't make him a bad parent unless they can prove he is indulging in his own Fathers sites and habits. That makes him a criminal. I think the state has to offer up more proof in order to take the kids.

Was Steve Powell there in that area. did he show up to work that monday or was he around Puyallup, because if he did or was, he wasn't in SLC that night she disappeared, that would exclude him from the disappearance. However he may have been the catalyst.

Communists consider themself conservative, they had no paid sick days, Paid no vacation pay, didn't allow unions, punished immigrants had literally no tax on property, income so forth. Much like the Nazis, there were not Liberal either but extreme right wing. However, Europe is for the most part liberal now.

I agree that we are outpricing and taxing buisnesses to death, but as I said Sick leave should be a right for the employee and for the people that sick person works for.

My grandfather worked in the Coal mines in Utah for his entire work life, Before the Government and Unions stepped in the ventilation was horrendous, Electrical cables that operated the passenger carts were exposed and there were literally no safety requirements. He developed Black Lung, though he never smoked as did everyone he worked with. the end result was millions of dollars in compensation across the country for this ailment. Had not the Government and OSHA stepped in there would still be no measures in place to proptect these minors. Don't kid yourself.

There should be laws to mitigate abuse. I am not for abusing sick leave and costing the companies, perhaps, at least a ordinance to protect a job of persons who get ill and cannot work. There must be middle ground.

If they do leave it won't be because of Sick days. Mon, 12 Sep 2011 18:15:15 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/129660228.html#IDComment192627531 http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/129660228.html#IDComment192626554 Sid, if the Government/State didn't step in do you think there would be any buisness who would allow this right? If the Government didn't step in occasionally we would still have children working in sweat shops, Mines with no ventilation, women with no opportunities, thats just the facts. I went a military school once where the standard was, "Miss a day for any reason and your out", Well one on my fellow students got deathly ill with a flu virus. He missed 2 hours and was given bed rest. He didn't take it as he need to finish the course for his career. As a result all 34 student became very ill and suffered for at least two weeks. This can and does happen in the workplace now, Buisnesses need to be protected and helped, but so do employees.

Just never on the stand.

He was not affilitated with either Knox or Sociletto, his semen was inside of Kercher, he had a criminal record for breaking in home and robbing them and the knife the procecution said was used has been contested by every forensic sceintist who has looked at the facts and it has been shown that a 3 inch blade was used. Does it seem plausible to you that Knox and her boyfriend came upon someone robbing thier home and decieded to join him in raping and murdering Kercher, her roomate. Does that make sense to you?

Soldiers are made up of young men who party and make bad decisions sometimes. Just as in any walk of life.
