” Unless we develop a low tolerance and a willingness to impose harsh sentences....”
Hey! This is the new America.....we don’t punish anyone...except white males here.
It’s a new world here in America where no one is responsible for their own actions and law is based upon your racial background.
It’s a wonderful new world we live in today. Enjoy it.
“O” is the wrong man and it was proved before he was even ‘elected’.
His association (direct, personal, intimate, long standing) with Rev. Wright was NEVER dis proved and was to the contrary, fully documented.
After THAT... and since, the question became (remains): “What is Obama’s judgment worth?”
One of my areas of expertise is identity fraud and more than its fair share comes from across our Southern borders. Years ago I worked on a case where I identified many of the major places you could buy fake ID in a major city. Many of them turned out to be bazaars in Mexican communities. You could simply walk in and get a fake driver’s license or social security card for under a $100 each. I bought a social security card (undercover) and the guy asked me what name and social security number I wanted on the card. I said “don’t you already have the numbers on the card?” and he said no, that I could choose whatever number I wanted and I said something like, “want that be someone else’s social security number?” and he said yeah but the odds of getting caught were low as long as I didn’t use it that much. I was wanting to reach across the counter and strangle the guy about this time but I had to restrain myself. I knew he would get his due in court later.
I’ve come across situations where some Hispanic and black women have multiple IDs that collect welfare benefits on each of them as well. Despise them. They are right. Percentage wise they rarely get prosecuted and the credit card companies have to absorb the losses. And you wonder why your CC rates are over 20 %? Get rid of ID theft and they would be back in the singe digits...
Not only is the rod spared, the rod is almost non-existent. Yeah, I grew up knowing the rod and it kinda made me lean in the correct direction to avoid it’s use. Thanks dr. spock for helping us get in touch with our feelings rather than learn consequences for actions. And for the “everybody” gets a trophy mentality today. That is until you reach “real” life and find out that “No Tommy. You didn’t get the job/car/apartment/house/membership.” No wonder some folks never learn a lesson about not winning/losing. I guess it’s like never telling the young uns NO!
A bump for the ever outstanding Dr. Walter E. Williams.
Stolen credit cards are one culprit in the losses to banks, BUT they refuse to take the simplest step to ending or reducing those multi-million dollar loasses—mandatory photos on the credit cards.
Most banks will issue a credit card to you with your photo on it, but you have to pay them a fee. Why? By law, they are the losers when a card is stolen, not the cardholder.
