Cleaning lady who stole the ring belongs in prison for her felony.

Boy who broke into the zoo...OMG! And his brother was part of a group of boys who attacked that same alligator a few years back. Something is really wrong in that family.

Finnish game where the object is to kill kindergartners--They needed somebody to actually go copycat the game by killing real children before they decided that was a bad idea??!! And, if I read correctly, they're only taking out certain parts of the game.

White Rabbit candy--Don't eat anything from China!!!! I mentioned recently to my doctor, just in the course of conversation, that my son wanted to do a semester abroad, possibly in China. Her reaction was swift and clear...DO NOT SPEND ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME IN CHINA. The pollution is unheard of and their food has so many chemicals in it that apparently you can leave broccoli in your refrigerator for 6 weeks and it will look the same as the day you bought it. Clearly, they have very low standards.

Co-operating with the investigation?! That Jewelry store was just as wrong.. they knew what that ring was worth! I think they should be prosecuted for receiving stolen goods.

In regards to what the boy did at the zoo..
I remember several days ago some posters discussing what it would take for a young child to show signs of being a sociopath (in the pigeon thread).. and I would say that this would definitely be a sign! And it just blows my mind that he can't be prosecuted for what he did because of Australian laws.

I won't be going to China anytime soon. Any Asian country to tell you the truth. I saw The Grudge.

NYNanny we have similar laws here in the states regarding children and crimes.

Don't quote me on the age but I think under 7 can't be prosecuted for any crimes they commit

I know they may not be criminally prosecuted at such a young age, but there are still Detention Centers that they could put them in.. and Hospitals. I had a friend whose 7 yo son set a car on fire and they put him in a place like that for a year, with much needed counseling, for punishment.

Keep fighting your wars in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. It is China who will team with Russia and Venezuela to kill us all. Right now China is just trying to decrease our population with the hazzardous and deadly materials they are flooding our marketplace with. Say NO to anything Chinese. Including that happy ending, bytches.

You are an idiot. Not a whole hell of a lot from China gets imported here, as far as food goes, when your looking at the amount of deaths they are bringing to their OWN people. Just since they introduced the Melamine, there have been over 54,000 ill and several dead, and guess what? They're CHINESE!
Doesn't look like there is going to be much of a hostile takeover now, huh?
