    the argument between Patsy and JonBenet

    Thank you, Ellen and Sisi, for your profound statements on the reasons of bed wetting, which were very interesting to read. I am sure that there are many causes for it, some of them physical and some of them not. My hubby, who is a doctor, tends to agree with my opinion, but then again he is...

    the argument between Patsy and JonBenet

    I agree, Ellen, but what if the doctor told Patsy that JonBenet's life as a child beauty queen was too stressful and that she was merely responding to that by wetting the bed? As far as I know, in many cases children do not wet the bed for physical reasons but out of emotional distress once...

    Stress = Strange Statements

    Tipper, good point. I personally would never think that saying you`re sorry would point to any guilt in that person who says it. I mean, I go to funerals and tell the family of the person that passed away that I am sorry and I am sure not always involved in their deaths, am I? I have...

    A new far-fetched theory but anything's possible

    I do believe that it is technically possible, but I agree with everyone else here who pointed out that there still must have been a cover up with the written note and everything.... I remember being woken up by the ringing phone years ago and I answered the phone and talked to...

    Does this make sense?

    My opinion, rashomon. ;) I don't think that small children have the sexual background to know what erotic asphyxiation is. The paintbrush theory (whittling it) sounds even more far fetched. Besides, isn't erotic asphyxiation about a person choking themselves to enhance their own sexual...

    GUILTY UK - Alan Webster & Tanya French for raping infant, Hatfield, Herts, 2006

    I am lost for words. If I had not such a deep basic dislike towards death penalty and torture, I would say let's cut his §$%"s off, but I am a civilized person and I just think what I think in private. I lived in Bucks for one and a half years. Thanks for posting, britgirl. Wuschel

    Multiple Avalanches in US and Europe; Roof collapses on German Ice Rink

    Bless her...and bless you for letting her go out in the world despite all the danger around. I used to laugh off my parent's worries when I had my teenage party phase and would come home late. I don't have any children now but being a little older and wiser, I can see what went on in their...

    Multiple Avalanches in US and Europe; Roof collapses on German Ice Rink

    I know, that is so bitter. I don't understand how they could leave the ice rink open knowing that they just sent kids home from the practice due to the risk. Every day, more heartbreaking stories come to light. There is actually a video which was made only like a half hour before the roof...

    TX - Lynndie England for mistreatment of Abu Ghraib detainees, Fort Hood, 2003

    Marthatex and LostFaith, thank you for your thoughtful posts. I hate to say it, and I certainly know that I should be careful with that kind of comparisons, but what is going on right now with the prisoners in Guantanamo and with the torture in the Iraqi prisons and the redefinition of the...

    Multiple Avalanches in US and Europe; Roof collapses on German Ice Rink

    Thank you for posting about this terrible tragedy. It has been all over the news here, of course. The sad part is that if the whole thing had happened some 15 minutes later, it would have been half as bad as the ice rink would have been closed by then and people would have left the ice...

    Sauerkraut may 'cure' bird flu

    Well, birds have particular likings sometimes. When I was little, I had a budgie with an alcohol problem. Seriously, he sat on my dad's glass when he did a shot and sipped from it. I was told that usually, animals refrain from consuming alcohol instinctively, so I assume that the bird was...

    TX - Lynndie England for mistreatment of Abu Ghraib detainees, Fort Hood, 2003

    I agree with you, Kylie. The fault of those in prison was not proven in any way, and even if they were criminals, torture and sexual humiliation are unlawful and I hope they always will be. Geez, history keeps repeating itself. Should we not have learned from the middle ages that torture does...

    Sauerkraut may 'cure' bird flu

    Hey Wrinkles, glad to hear about your German heritage. You would probably say "es kommt darauf an, wie man das Sauerkraut zubereitet". But your translation attempt was very good! I love sauerkraut (how could I not) and there are really lots of ways to prepare it. I have a lovely recipe...

    women getting 'revirgination' surgery

    I think the whole thing has a touch of tragedy attached to it, as over here many muslim girls who have been with their boyfriends prior to marrying someone else have to have that kind of surgery done or else their new husband will chuck them. I am sure they are not happy with it, but need to do...

    KY - Paul Beck charged with raping two women, Lousiville, 2005

    It is always a good thing if a prisoner turns to faith, but I wonder why their christianity never seems to tell them that they should just shut up and serve their sentence. Wuschel
