It's impossible to know for sure, and there are good arguments for an against idea that this was not what it appears. I can only say that I would not be at all surprised is this was really not a suicide. I wouldn't be surprised if we never got a straight answer either.
I think anyone, no matter what they look like, is going to raise suspicion trying to cash a check that large. It's not cynicism at all. It's realism and luck in that someone was stupid enough to try and pull it off.
Rosi is dead right. Where does this guy think he is? Prison is such a joke these days. I thought it was all about punishment. It's more like a resort, and if tubby boy actually gets away with this, I will be sick.
It doesn't get much scarier than this. If he were doing this through his church it would be ok, but doing it as mayor is stepping over the line dividing church and state.
Furthermore, wouldn't it be more practical to actually do something about the problem? I seriously doubt that murderers are going to be swayed by a bunch of Bible thumpers in sackcloth.
While it was out of line for this to go out on school letterhead, the suggestions were sound. If more people thought this way, teenagers would get into less trouble.
Hands down, "Dog Day Afternoon". This movie is still quoted and parodied. I was watching a British sit com where there was a bank being robbed, and what did the robbers ask for? A helicoptor, food, and a plane.
I think my husband is the only person in the free world that doesn't like this movie.
As sick as this is, I have to give whoever came up with it some credit. There is some recognition, deep down inside, that all this cosmetic surgery has an affect on children, however it does it. I don't want to slam cosmetic surgery outright because it's not always a shallow, addictive, and frivolous thing, but I am sure that there are some kids out there that don't even remember what Mommy used to look like who could use some sort of explanation.
These are amazing! I just have to wonder, though, if you are attacked by a set of huge nads, would you want to live through it and actually attempt to ever live it down?
I wear glasses for driving, TV, and computer use, but generally keep them off the rest of the time. I have found that being a petite female, I am taken more seriously when I have them on. Glasses really do change a person's look and thus, the perception that people will initially have. It may or may not suggest greater intelligence, but it definitely sends a visual cue that commands more respect because of the stereotypes we are fed through movies and TV. I have learned to play on this over the years. ;)
superbad, you forgot... they may have been executed for being raped too.
Seriously, any culture that would allow something like this to begin is backward as far as I am concerned. I don't care what anyone thinks of me for that comment, but the last thing any 8 year old girl should be doing is getting married and having sex. That's disgusting.I don't think I am better than others, or somehow superior because I am a Western girl, but y'know what, I don't think highly of legal pedophilia.
If all criminals were dumb enough to hold up stores with cheap crossbows that they have no real expertise in using, our streets would be sooooo much safer. Because really, how stupid do you have to be? I know we aren't allowed guns in the UK and all, but wouldn't a sword been just a tad more intelligent and effective?
