What we should do, by crime:<br/><br/>Increases in Penalties:<br/><br/>Any type of Murder:  life without bail, no death penalty (but that's a different debate)<br/>Rape: a minimum of twenty years<br/>Domestic violence: minimum of 20 years in prison<br/>Sexual Abuse of a minor: 25 years for first time offense, second time life<br/>insider trading: 15 years<br/>Violent Robbery: 30 years<br/>Sale of Drugs other than marijuana: 15 years, 20 if sa...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27199</guid><link>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27199</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:27:37 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T12:27:37</pubDateParsed><title>What Changes We Should Make to Our Crime Policy</title></item><item><author>matt07</author><comments>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27190</comments><description><![CDATA[I can understand why people would support Ralph Nader's ideology, but I can't understand why anyone would vote for him. If you vote for Nader, it means you are more concerned with making a statement than making sure the better man gets elected. If you think that there is absolutely no difference between Kerry and Bush and Kerry is equally as bad as Bush, then vote for Nader. But if you think Kerry would be better than Bush, even if you think he's worse than Nader, than vote for Kerry. If you vot...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27190</guid><link>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27190</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:27:37 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T12:27:37</pubDateParsed><title>Don't Vote for Nader, even if you agree with him</title></item><item><author>matt07</author><comments>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27189</comments><description><![CDATA[As someone who badly wants Kerry to become the next president I must say that I think Kerry should be running a better campaign. <br/><br/>So far, Bush's campaign has been extremely negative. He's criticized Kerry more than he's promoted himself, and succeeded in branding Kerry as a flip-flopping, tax-raising, troop hating Massachusetts liberal.<br/><br/>Kerry, on the other hand, has decided to take the high road to Bush's low road. Kerry can't win this way. You can't unseat an incumbent by simply promoting...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27189</guid><link>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27189</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:27:37 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T12:27:37</pubDateParsed><title>Why Kerry Would Lose</title></item><item><author>matt07</author><comments>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/27188</comments><description><![CDATA[When George Bush pitched the Iraq war to the American people, he made it sound more appealling by saying it was part of our War on Terror.

I do not support terrorism in any form and it is not a legitimate form of protest.

I hope that this blog will hope to enlighten some people or get them to consider another point of view.  I encourage vigorous debate, so long as that debate stays cordial.

It was later discovered  that the Korean had incorrectly had 1/10 of a point deducted from his score, and had this error not been made, he would have came out on top.  The error, however, did not happ...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/26655</guid><link>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/26655</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:27:37 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T12:27:37</pubDateParsed><title>Some people just don't like the United States.</title></item><item><author>matt07</author><comments>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/26564</comments><description><![CDATA[ When George Bush pitched the Iraq war to the American people, he made it sound more appealling by saying it was part of our War on Terror.

John Kerry may not have served honorably in and after Vietnam and George Bush may have gone AWOL on national guard duty, and to this day he still won't deny the he used cocaine and dru...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/25622</guid><link>http://matt07.joeuser.com/article/25622</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:27:37 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-04T12:27:37</pubDateParsed><title>Swift Boat Controversy detracts from healthy political debate</title></item></channel></rss>
