| I think this article just goes to show that the Conservatives need to get their shit together if they want to stay in office. With tax cuts and a deficit, they need to start to spend smart and make sure their policies are in line with their finances and the economy; or there soon might be a liberal ... |

| I highly doubt its going to end there. I can see major disputes held in the ICJ over this territory. And after thats decided, then comes the whole enviornment vs. drilling dispute. |

| agreed, many countries have some rather stupid laws, the problem is religion should never be used as a rudder when running a country. Its sad really, Hammurabi's code was created in the middle east, but countries are content instead with using Sharia Law. but back to the topic at hand, Vince Li. I ... |

| I understand that if Li had a mental disorder, it would be unfair to punish him accordingly given that the mens Rea of the offence was lacking. However, to make him NCR wouldn't be fair either.
