Paris Hilton out of jail already?

That's correct, yet you do anyway.

You asked Thomas about the legal system in Belgium, then you blow him off when he gives you an answer because you "find it hard to believe." Not only is that rude, but it's also stupid.

If you're not willing to let facts change your opinion, and your opinion is based solely on faith, then every argument you get into becomes a religious argument.

I'm going to start deleting your contentious posts when they ignore the facts presented.

Ant----believe me, I "somewhat" see your point and that's why I gave the
disclaimer "so I can't properly comment on this"

because I'm TOO honest and frank for my own good

I know enough to post what I posted

Then a guy like you comes along, and uses it against
me and calls me "stupid and rude" on top of it

I don't think there's anything stupid or "sole faith" oriented about
sticking by the fact that "money talks----everywhere"

If you want to totally discount me-----fine, but you and some others around
here throw around labels like "idiot" and "stupid" without thought of civility
and letting someone have their opinion

You (and others) let opinions T you off---and then you decide the gloves are off---sorry, if I say "bite me" to that

Yeah, I might've discounted Thomas' opinion to an extent, but I didn't
name call---I'd never call him an idiot for having his view---or for
delivering his facts (which in the case of defining a law system will ALWAYS be vague at best)

You however, do the name calling constantly

Well, Paris was convicted and was in jail. It's rediculous that she was released after a whopping 3 days, and the system does fail as shown here. It sounds as if the judge is furious and has called a hearing today. This was a move made by the sherriff and he alone. he should lose his job.

I like Brian's idea. Everyone who drives drunk gets beaten up a few times. I think more people would call taxis if this were the punishment

Regarding these comments---and Brian's---dang I think Paris shouldn't've
been released like this....come on-----I guess you guys should see me say
that cause otherwise you might think differently about my thoughts on that--

I think her punishment shoulda been much more severe----and if I don't
come across that way--- that's why I'm making this post

and, again, thank god she didn't hurt anybody

Hue, you better quit while you're behind

Hue, you better quit while you're behind

and here I thought I might've made sense

not only about money talking but about rudeness on this board

sorry Mike----

I stand behind every word I said

[Mikey]

I stand behind every word I said

So do I

You're not getting testy are you?

No, they don't. Even our prince has been convicted for fraud. Since he's a prince they can't lock him away, but at least he was convicted.
Numerous politicians have been convicted too, some went to jail, others got off a little easier. But no one walks free because they're rich and famous. Our legal system is far from perfect, I'll grant you that, but at least it's not a farce like yours is.
You do the crime, you should do the time

So here's an interesting question. If the prince of Belgium gets convicted of fraud but they can't lock him away because he's the prince....what was his punishment? Doesn't that contradict the statement that "no one walks free because they're rich and famous" but didn't the prince walk free because he's rich and famous? And I'm not saying it to be rude, I'm just trying to understand how you see the difference between that and our legal system.

I can personally say I did some pretty stupid things when I was young, I have driven drunk and thankfully never hurt anyone. If I am driving and out at a party, I only have one drink or maybe two and make sure that I wait an hour or two after the last drink. I had parents who would get very angry with me if I had any kind of alcohol even if I was of legal drinking age and didn't drive. When the time comes and I'm not sure when to have the discussion but my son is now 12 so I should probably have the discussion soon which is basically that I would prefer he not drink until he is legal but also know that I am not naiive and if he does get into a situation where he has been drinking or doing whatever, he is not to drive or get into a car with anyone that has been drinking. In return, I will come pick him up from whereever and time day or night without any lecture or punishment. The harsh punishment will come if I catch him drinking and driving or riding with someone who has been drinking and driving.

I have an older brother, he will be 49 this year and back when he was growing up the legal drinking age in Maryland was 18. It turned to 21 well before I became of age but ironically, Washington D.C. which was just 20 miles from my home had just changed the law from 18 to 21 when I was 18 but grandfathered me in so I was allowed to go to bars or purchase alcohol in Washington D.C. My older brother said he used to get pulled over all the time for D.W.I. and he said the police never did anything about it other than tell him to drive directly home.....how screwed up is that? I would think even if they didn't crack down on drunk driving back then, they would at least make them exit their car and drive them home.

Ha! Paris Hilton is heading back to jail to serve her sentence after all!!!

Good for you Judge.

[huedell]

Good for you Judge.

I heartily share that sentiment

and as far as what Adam West said to Thomas:

"So here's an interesting question. If the prince of Belgium gets convicted of fraud but they can't lock him away because he's the prince....what was his punishment? Doesn't that contradict the statement that "no one walks free because they're rich and famous" but didn't the prince walk free because he's rich and famous?

Well, that's all I'm trying to question, (as well as who knows what else goes
on in Thomas' country's legal system that Thomas didn't offer up) and if Ant
and Mike think differently then I guess I was unclear in my post(s)---I admit
I should've taken the time to draw the metaphor right from Thomas'
example to accentuate my point being more legit, but I was too lazy

Actually, I was suprised when Thomas all out shot down my questioning, because
I thought he'd see a little bit of that universal truth of wealth
---or fame---- being power within his own country---but instead he stuck
to his guns

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY: This goes for all members of the royal family

It's not that they chose to set him free, they simply couldn't touch him. That's not the same as buying your way out because your rich and famous. It's also not a case of legal failure by the courts... he's simply untouchable... Like I said, our system isn't perfect either
