[color:"red"]not my suggestion I do not run prisons[/color]


[color:"red"]I am barely left of Genghis Kahn, but fair is fair, if others get out at 10% why make her the example, other than she is "famous"?

True Mary, But she would charge to get on a cat.. Think the going rate is around the half million mark to appear..

However home "pornos" are free apparently and make good publicity.. so here is an idea based on your excellent suggestion.... Not sure how comfy a wave tramp is but then maybe its ok for that type of film?.. You have the wave. With your permission, and seeing the publicity slant is your idea, if Alan could provide the.....

You need something exciting like an Inter 20 with spinnaker, and Paris on the trapeze. If the media is capable of getting lots of video of that, it will prove that it is possible to do it for the Olympics, as well. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You're assuming she's OK with getting splashed with water.

She's fine with getting splashed with water, Oh..... you're going to need to remove all those icky fish, and while you're at it could you replace the lakewater with avian. that's all. Thanks

I think she -only- looks good when splashed with water, like that burger add she did. Other than washing my boat, what good is she? More dead weight on board. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Maybe not.

That is specifically the media disinformation I'm referring to; the 10% is tripe. The 10% was uttered once by a legal analyst who was describing what she should have gotten the first time she showed contempt or for her first violation of parole - this number has been siezed upon by media as proof that she is getting a raw deal because she is famous. Total bunk. Her latest sentence was 45 days with a 50% reduction for good behaviour, which she has yet to exhibit.

The justice system in the US is unfair - money and class will get you out of hot water - the situation with Paris reaffirms rather than contradicts this. Our prison system creates more criminals. Commit a crime and the odds are you either won't be caught, won't be punished, or will actually spend time with people who can teach you to avoid getting caught next time. The irony in the Hilton situation is that normally, law enforcement is at odds with Justice due to light sentences and legal technicalities that put offenders back on the street without consequences. Now, we see more law enforcement agencies struggling to meet the sentencing requirements - in part due to mandatory minimums passed by politicians who don't understand the effect of their empty "tough on crime" election-time rhetoric. Overcrowding? Are there more criminals? Is it just that more criminals are being caught? Is it that mandatory minimums are too harsh? Is prison really a deterrent? Recidivism is climbing, class and socio-economic background are statistical standouts in current prison populations... tough issues that made me switch from Criminology to Geology in college.

On topic and a tangent to the Hilton coverage - how many uninformed viewers believed the sailors at Alum Creek were in a life-threatening situation? The readers of this forum know better, but Mike's post drives home that, unless you do, you might take the media coverage to be an accurate representation... I'd bet the sailors told the reporter "hey, it was no big deal really," and that part is in the editor's recycle bin.

Are you talking about putting 2 tramps on one wave????

We shouldn't even have prisons. Just large holes where the bodies of criminals are thrown, and burned. Jay walking, to murder one. It would drive crime to a standstill. Just look at Singapore.

I've joked for a while now that police squad cars should carry a cross in the trunk to crucify DWI offenders literally instead of just figuratively.

I think it's fascinating that all you men are being so mean to Paris Hilton. If women were being nasty to her, you would call it a catfight.

well... it would be.. wouldn't it? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The point is, I don't see any women saying bad things about her - just men. What is that all about?

Let's be clear here. The second time she was caught driving her car without a licence she was doing 73 miles an hour in a 35 zone.
In this country that would be over twice the limit in a suburban or city street and imediate loss of liceneceeeexcept she had already lost her licenence and already been caught floughting the law and warned not to drive. She was caught for two things at this time. Speeding AND not having a licence.
So, she has wrecklessly endagered other peoples lives twice while ignoring societies attempts to moderate her behaviour.
What irks many less financial people is that she could easily afford a driver.
It is the citezenry that is at risk from drunks and speeders and if little miss spoilt pants does not want to be gently pointed in the right direction then slap her in the side of the head to get her attention and tell her again.
I hear she has now found God. Lawyers are such creeps.

Mary it is simple. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
If she was plucky and showed as much contempt for prison as she did for everything and everyone else and did her time with a sneer and a laugh we would love her. But she is a paper tiger who has proved herself to be utterly vacuous and weak and men hate that. Put simply she is full of s***.

So, I presume you have NEVER had even a ticket??!!!
I think people who have never had a ticket just have not been caught and should be pulled over and tested by water torture and when they confess they should be crucified...or burnt at the stake or put on the rack or flayed alive or any of that other Christian minded stuff. Evil Inside is right!

Perhaps it's the fact that there is only one woman who regularly visits this forum? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

"...little miss spoilt pants..."

She wears pants? That should be front page news!

maybe the fact thay are "spoilt" is why she is never wearing any.
Mary the fact you are the only female regular is pertinant.

Not just on the forum -- everywhere. And I'm not talking about the driving violations -- I'm referring to personal slurs about someone you don't even know.
