Judging someone based on their politics is a feeble measurement. Psephos Sep 2014 #20

I literally don't care at all. BlueEye Sep 2014 #30
Drew Carey is a political operative. He works in support of Libertarians at a Libertarian MADem Sep 2014 #34
No, I read what you said and I agree. BlueEye Sep 2014 #44

I'm not sure what you are looking for, from me. Voice for Peace Sep 2014 #78
i do believe that people are redeemable. i went through the juvenile court system myself.. frylock Sep 2014 #81
I am fine with your suggestion, if it were to turn out that way, and not incarceration. Voice for Peace Sep 2014 #82
They deserve jail for what they did... Oktober Sep 2014 #53
This was an assault, a crime, they are criminals and yes they should be treated geek tragedy Sep 2014 #60
