    Re: Gwool

    I could personally care less about Paris Hilton one way or the other. What is sad is torturing a girl by releasing her from solitary confinement, and then tossing her back in jail. But then again, you live in a country where they send 17 year old boys to jail for 10 years for having consensual initiated by the 15 year old girl. Americans typically like to blame the messenger than dealing with the message that your justice seem is a joke.
