    Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

    Theres only so much one country can do to another. Do you want to goto war with every country that has a different set of laws than us? How realistic is that. Short of walking over there and physically removing the people in power, theres little that people over here can do. What do you want...

    Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

    You're missing the point ArmyVern. She used media to try and sway the decision of the judge for her appeal. I never said anything about her not saying any. I said she went about it the wrong ways. What do you realistically expect to happen? Are their laws going to change because some people in...

    Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

    I'm sure this isn't the first time that a sentence has been increased from an appeal there. There are other ways for her to get the message across. Hell, I'm willing to bet that Oprah would have flown there herself just to do an interview. Going to a judge who is obviously not going to overrule...

    Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

    Again, I said that what she was punished for was rediculous. It got out to the media, they posted it all over then place to try and pressure an overruling. The women appealed after seeing all the support she had gotten. The judge was obviously aware that she was trying to use the media to help...

    Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

    All you have to do is look at other basic rights people should have. From 1770's till 2003 there have been countries that abolished slavery. Theres countries today where slavery is still not against the law. You can't agrue facts that different countries/cultures are going to do things at...

    Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

    Its the same reason that rape criminals here don't get the death sentence. Different countries, different rules.

    Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

    From the article it said that the other people were punished and that she was punished for being in a non-relatives car, not the fact that she was gang-raped. Someone that shoots someone else in selfdefense with an illegal weapon. The victim is still going to be charged with having an illegal...

    Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

    Aside from the fact that its a complete rediculous charge in the first place(its not like the girl didn't know about)... Its a shame that judges don't do that here and in the USA. People that try and abuse the media should get tougher sentences. But then again, what would be on TV if every...

    U.S. Military Deserters in Canada Megathread

    They left in 2004...the Iraq war started in 2003... They had one year before their were told their unit was told they were going over. You can't tell me that they didn't expect to go over. Looks like they tried to milk the system and then leave as late as possible.

    My Obstacles to Joining the Canadian Infantry

    When I had to get a medical form filled out, I just brought it into the CFRC on a Monday and had the front desk hold onto untill the medic arrived(he only came in on Wednesday) and there were no problems.

    Recruitment Trial Advice

    I did since my perscription was pretty strong(6.5). I went and got a checkup on my eyes right after I dropped off the first forms that had to be filled out so that I had an updated prescription for them. Mind you that it was only a month early for my yearly eye test. Now that my eyes have been...

    Canadian military tries to draft artists

    Or whoever made the title was trying to do a pun on draft, but didn't do a good job of it.

    Drug use/drug testing in the CF (merged)

    Considering the amount of money that the CF can put into a person, a first time offence for a minor drug shouldn't be a kick out the door. If there are other things that happen besides just rehab, like charges and marks on their records, it would be a deterant for atleast some of the people...

    My own little story

    Update: After sending a fax a while back, and then calling earlier today, they said that one was printed and sent on Oct. 12th. Turns out I wrote down the wrong address. A couple buddies used to live across the street and we'd order pizza alot, so I still sometimes say 5(his last number)...

    That's why I had the little clause at the end of the original statement and used words like "don't seem" instead of "aren't" :p

    Hearing (Merged) Including Hearing Tests and Hearing Categories

    Right, but is the a difference if its at 35db or 30db? If the real sound is at the same frequency, chances are its not going to be as low of db as those tests were done at.... ...Ok, after lookup the decibel of a whisper, it seems like 30db isn't as low as I thought...The frequency just...

    Hearing (Merged) Including Hearing Tests and Hearing Categories

    Do they test both ears seperatly? I did the test around a month ago and don't remember if the sound from their headphones was directional or not. I just pushed the button when I heard anything I thought was something that wasn't supposed to be there and ended up with an H1. And doesn't...
