 The law


This film from India raises a valid question; one I have asked myself since I was in Ireland during The Troubles. 
I was in Ireland at the time Bobby Sands died during his hunger strike. 
It may not be a Christian outlook, in my view, one dead terrorist is better than perhaps hundreds of innocent people maimed, or killed, as the IRA did in Brighton, Hamas in Israel, and Boko Haram in Nigeria.
This is a story of two police officers, who are tasked with bringing a terrorist to court after hearing of the deaths of several of their friends caused by allies of the terrorist.
The senior officer is old school and wants to uphold the law, whereas his junior is out for justice for the deaths.
To be honest, if this was me, I couldn't choose. My instinct tells me to seek justice, as we know how courts work, why should we pay for a good life for criminals when people are jobless, hungry, and homeless?

    Tell me more; I don’t quite understand your conclusion.

      In a system that provides food, and care for criminals, is it correct to pay for these luxuries when many people can't afford a meal?
      Is it right that a person who has killed go to jail, and have a better life at the taxpayers expenses?

I am offended again

Image
 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
