Can you commit a Crime?




So when I came across this question: What is the most serious law you’ve broken doing something you thought was morally right, wouldn’t hurt anyone, or was no one’s business but yours?  How bad would the punishment have been if you’d been caught and given the maximum sentence?

I was first like “Let me get a parking ticket first before I start thinking about doing something more serious that would retain to the law.”  That’s right yours truly here has never had any tickets from the police or even broken any law. I am a chicken shit when it comes to the law.

Hell, let me get a speeding ticket while I am at it! There are some of you who are so much more advanced in this law breaking thing. That I am just going to find a corner and sit there.

But let’s think about the jury and if you were on the jury, would you be willing to convict a person for something you didn’t think should be consideration a crime?  If you are like me, then you hate it when you when that notice telling you to come down to city hall to be selected for that wonderful honor, right?

In our society today, there are so many things that can be considered as crime. Without knowing. Most people think that even shitting is a crime that should be convicted. (I guess that depends on where you are at when one is taking shit and the time of day in which one is taking that same shit!) However, in our news we see that some crimes are being overlooked for one reason or another.

To be a jury, I guess one would have to have little or some kind of understanding of morals and what they are.  I found two definitions of “morals”: 1) a lesson, especially one concerning what is right or prudent, that can be derived from a story, a piece of information, or an experience.  I think this where we as people are always sharing our own experiences or someone else’s story hoping that someone else will learn from it. (And we all know that sometimes people hear what we are saying and other times our message goes through one ear and ot the other, right?)  And 2) a person’s standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do. (I can believe that this second definition can be the national anthem for many hypocrites.)

We see on the news that our society cries out for justice whether is was moral or not, but for the pain of how they lost that love one.

Which would bring me to the criminals who either don’t have morals or do not understand what morals are, or have said fuck morals all together.  Some of them kill for any reasons, steal for the fun of it, and do what they want as a hobby. Now these three things is something that I don’t have the nerves to do and some of y’all are with me on that note. And depending on which country you live in will determine the severity of which the punishment is given.

In some of our states they have abolished the Death Sentences all together however in some situation that Death Sentence would be the appropriate punishment for that person who commited that hinderous crime.  I am just saying! That the punishment should fit the crime.

So to answer those two questions at the beginning of this piece; I have never committed a crime, do won’t to however I do have a family that is pushing me there.  Then again who doesn’t have family members that would cause you to lost your insanity.

Learning Language and Love

Okay so once again I was reading in my favorite book, The Book of Questions when I became stuck on this question: If it was the only way you could remain with the love of your life, would you be willing for both of you to wake up tomorrow as native speakers of an unfamiliar foreign language, knowing the within a week you’d permanently forget the languages you now speak and largely be cut off from your friends and culture?  If so, what new language would you want to speak, and why? The first thing that came to mind was who would not want a lover or have the thought of having that foreign lover who could either speak French and Italian.  I know I did and I think that is why I took up Spanish in high school for the last 2 years. Then when I got in college, I continue with my Spanish and I took up Russian, Greek and Italian. Crazy right? Considering the Greek and Russian alphabets are so similar and that Spanish and Italian have some similar words. It was not until 9 ye...

Is it Jealousy or What?

I so need to vent and usually when I vent I often go to one of my friends, however, what I need to vent about, I am sure that maybe one or two of you are also dealing with the same thing. I have some family members that are just simply either jealous of my accomplishments or just mad that they themselves did not also reach their own potential, goals or dreams. I am going to tell you two major things that bothers me about my family.  But first, let me give you some insight as to where this all came from. When I was young around when I was still in grade school, I told my grandmother that I was going to accomplish 3 things in my life: live in Europe (actually moved to Istanbul, Turkey), become a model which I never did and I forgot what the third thing was, however, I did accomplish it. I was also in  high school when I got pregnant with my son Nick, while I was in labor, I told my mother and my grandmother that I would never have another. So come 2006 or 2007 and my gr...

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...
