For some reason I thought the victim was younger. Anyway, if it was such an honor killing why did he run away? So I guess he doesn't like our Western legal system either, he obviously knew what he did was wrong and that he'd have consequences to pay. He's a coward IMO. May the poor girl rest in peace.
90% of black children on food stamps seems very high to me. (almost a gross exageration)
People are freaking out way too much about the H1N1.
and I guess that's all I have to say lol.
1Even before the whole swine flu thing, I still got pissed at people who coughed and coughed and coughed and never covered their mouth. Its disgusting.
2Poor Noor..
Pop rot in jail for life
3yeah Smacks83 I've politely asked a dude to cover his mouth before on the lightrail in san jose and got b*tched at so I told him what a disgusting fool he was. and the rest of the people on the train were happy.
it bugs the sh*tE out of me when people aren't using at least basic manners, and when i see parents let their children get away with it too.
4I'm saddened about Noor. That incident is wrong in so many levels, I can't even begin to express it.
It's time to charge the father.
5San Jose Caltrain sucks. I used to live there.
6Oh yeah, Glowingmoon. And toss the key, if he's found guilty.
7I'm in agreement with you guys about Noor's dad. So disgusting. And the food stamps study seems really exaggerated to me.
8I hate those disgusting cows who don't cover their mouths. (I'm a germaphobe). I also dispise that evil man who would do that to his beautiful daughter. And the food stamp thing? That has to be wrong. I agree with kimpossible that the estimate has to be too high.
9I agree there is just no excuse not to cover one's mouth when they cough/sneeze. Then to be belligerent about it when some one asks you to do so is just boarder line mental to me. It's amazing how easy it is for some to surrender themselves to being despicable and find themselves aggravated to by common decency.
10*to be not (to by)
11We are going to see many more of the honor killings in this country.

13RIP Noor. Man, some of the news stories really appall me and bring tears to my eyes. this is horrible
