After all, they got away with it the first time. They will probably use their time behind bars to plan more sophisticated ways to kill people so they don't get caught. It's shocking that they are not being tried as adults, which they probably would be here.<br /><br />I also agree that a guy who considers himself American should not be elected to any office in Canada, regardless of his political views.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-62405760756498556982011-04-02T15:09:56.024-07:002011-04-02T15:09:56.024-07:00Vote for the conservative.

And with not knowing their names, you'd never even know if they were living next door or not. Scary.<br /><br />If your liberal is defining himself as an American, then I'd definitely not vote for him. You don't need to import any liberalism from us. (although I would probably be happy if more of our liberals would move to other countries)....Sorry, I wouldn't wish that on any country ;)susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562212895434853804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-48285375218000694182011-04-02T13:57:01.739-07:002011-04-02T13:57:01.739-07:00Here in Iowa - and I think this is true with most ...Here in Iowa - and I think this is true with most states - a person age 14 or older may be tried as an adult for a criminal act.<br /><br />The judge decides whether to try the youthful offender as a child or an adult. <br /><br />Not long ago a 13-year old boy shot and killed his abusive step father. That child will be set free when he is 18 years old.<br /><br />A 16-year old will more often than not be tried as an adult - such as in the case you mentioned. The 17-year old would definitely be tried as an adult. As such, a person who commits murder spends the rest of their life in prison.<br /><br />I hope Canada is able to change the law so that older, mature youthful offenders will be treated as adults.<br /><br />Take care.Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072219347283927398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-37358917732950788042011-04-02T11:28:53.217-07:002011-04-02T11:28:53.217-07:00I just KNEW you KNEW how to say it, Josie!

In my view, I...It's not my place to say but... In my view, I'd say vote for Harper, on all counts. <br /><br />I know that party labels don't always mean the same thing, in diff countries. But he certainly sounds as if he is my idea of a Conservative. <br /><br />Needless to say, I am Conservative, with certain reservations. I have no, no, no "truk" with Liberals, and their "bleeding heart" views and "ivy tower" thinking. <br /><br />Just think how I dislike how my own Beloved Country is being miss-run now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <br /><br />The other guy in your election, liking to refer to himself as an American, is enough for me to reject him, if I was Canadian! There is a military term which fits here, in referring to his statement, but it's not used in "proper society" so I won't use it. But wow, does it fit. When does a person run in one country, "saying" they are "from another"? <br /><br />Sorry for getting so carried away in your comments. :-) I have very strongly held political views, which I try to 'keep a damper on' in my blog. Because I know that an awful lot of women who read "In Pretty Blog Land," do not, not, not want political talk. -sigh-<br /><br />So hey, thanks for giving me a perfect excuse to sound off! :-)<br /><br />Good luck with your decision!<br /><br />Gentle hugs,<br />.♥.Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.com
