Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

I have read this of the morgend in the newspaper "metro" (Belgium's newspaper in train station)

GALVESTON, Texas -- A 19-year-old has been charged with injury to a child after police said his 2-month-old daughter was burned when he placed her in a microwave.
Joshua Mauldin, of Arkansas, has been charged with injury to a child causing serious harm. He is in the Galveston County jail with bond set at $250,000.

At Shriners Burns Hospital on Tuesday, doctors treated internal injuries and third-degree burns the infant suffered to the left side of her face and left hand. She is listed in critical condition.

Maudlin arrived at a Galveston hotel last week along with the baby, his wife and mother. He called 911 on Thursday, saying that his baby had been burned in the hotel room when he tripped while carrying a pot of hot water to make coffee.

But police Sgt. Annie Almendarez said investigators later decided the child's injuries were not consistent with that story. She said investigators believe the child was in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds.

"I've been doing this for a lot of years and it actually brought tears to my eyes," Almendarez said. "I'm sitting there looking at the pictures and I'm sitting there looking at him and there's nothing I could really do about it but just keep my composure and go on."

Detectives said Mauldin later confessed to putting his daughter in the microwave and said he was frustrated by the demands of caring for her.

At the time the child was injured, her mother and Mauldin's mother were picking up dinner at a nearby restaurant.

According to police reports, Mauldin told investigators God ordered him to go to Galveston to look for work as a minister.

If convicted, Mauldin could receive a prison term of five to 99 years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.

sigh.  only "up to 99"
that is really sick and discusting. Do they know if the baby has brain damage?
they should put him in a giant mikrowave-"an eye for an eye"
not to mention the fact that he was trying to be a minister
seriously.  what kind of person would do such a thing and then claim to be god's servant?

Texas is the state that created Bush nothing surprises me I hear from Texas. Texas and states near by need to rethink their polices.

yeah ok thats bad, but i bet you if you told me the state of the democrat leader or any other party i would find some crime just as bad at some point, yeah ok bush is a moron but calling all texas folk morans thats no better than saying well im not surprised he done it because hes black and the people who made him are black ( i know hes not black i just replaced texas with black. )

All tho The dems have their issues its nothing like the republicans all the candidate they are putting up or moderits becus the RNC is scared to death of what bush has done.

You have no clue what you are toking about Eufnoc. I am not calling Texans morons I am saying the polasys they have are bad. What do black people have to do with Texas? You could not have picked a wrest anolagy. lol do some HW my friend

sorry i seemd tro think you was calling them all stupid, i was basicly saying calling all people who are born there stupid is no worse than saying all black people are stupid, or all people born in a paticaly country, but i did misread your post sorry.
But still you want a democracy right? and if the majority of people in them states want them, policies then thats how democracy works.

I got you at WMD :lol: :lol:
Bush was misinformed.  That was not his fault, he did his best with the information at hand
as I recall, a certain Democratic canidate from New York voted to invade Iraq as well :P
so wrong ewm :lol: :lol:

The Bush adminastration had dounts and Qout Bush dring a state of the unon "its a slam dunk"

The Slam dunk is his folt and not teling colin powl is his folt bulling the intelagenis comunity is his resopsuliaty.

Becuse she was lied to as was the american people.

Check your facts my friend

She had the same info as bush.  Bush was misinformed. (a fact I stated that you completely ignored)
both of them decided to hit the big red button marked "INVADE IRAQ"  yes it was a mistake but still.  Bush did the best he could

No she did not Non of the senaters where tod they had dounts + thay gave bush the athority to declare wor only if he found WMD he did not he still went to war.

there is one thing i would like to point out that was really flawed aswell, we gave iraq nearly three fucking weeks before we invaded, saddam know he would lose and proberley covered his arse and sent it all to iran.

If you've you items you should'nt have and you look on the news "EWM may have WMD's" "U.N. to be sent to EWM's house" "EWM bans ( or throws out i forget which ) U.N. WMD Inspectors" "U.S. and U.K Armys to invade EWM'S home soon on hunt for WMD's"

Seriously are you going to keep them therte or you going to pass them to an ally? Not saying he did i have no proof, but you have no proof that he did'nt

ewms house and then on to the dixie chicks! :woot:

We gave them 2 weeks 2 do what? The UN report said that their was no evidents of any WMD this has ben provin and docmenteded and is a fact the mer ideahat some one would thing that is is some how not the case is very desterbing.

I am a news jucky......... I live in DC also ware politics is some thing you cant avode. Yes thay MAY have WMD and I may be God but that is unlikey

Yes No prove no justifaction for WAR...

now if i remember rightly he throw them out or banned them full stop

Can you refrace you question I am not quite sher what you are trying to saiy

The UN guys didn;t see shit.  they were thrown out

So that mean thats proof of WMD?

NO that means it doesn't DISprove it

But the justication was if thare is proof not if thare a posabulaty.

Thares a posublaty that new york has WMD why dont we send troops thare?


Your agument has more holes than a screen dore....

Its called reasonable doubt.  We were pretty sure that Iraq had WMD's but we were wrong
Theres also a possibility that you are a scuicide bomber ewm.  lets imprison you.

No they wert thay had douts they just did not share them with the amrican people its well documented.

jesus ewm let it go

I would if it was a simpale blowe job But we are toking about a WAR that is still going on meny are dieing for what is a lie.

Let me tell you what my freind is going thowe how is fitting in Iraq He has no frinds becuse thare all dead now, Hes be hit with one IED, he gets shot at daily, he offin had morders blowing up billding just behind him 3 secs earler and it whould have ben him. His GF tells me he is the strongest person she know and hes beging to loos his mind.

When he cam back for a vacation 3 weeks ago he had no short term memory. It took a week for him to start to get it back. Now that hes back in Iraq he has last it agin.

all most all solgers he has met saiy thay need to leave its hoples and thaey see things geting more and more dancerise.

Hes not evin a combat solger he is traing Irqa troops.


I will never for get what Bush has dun to to what still is for now the strongest contry in the world and the people in it!!!!!!!!!!!

EWM, microwaving babies is bad, i don't see how this went from a discussion of how microwaving babies is bad to a political debate.

that guy who microwaved the baby should be crucified.
yeah, crucified.  :thumbsup:

Bastard...

 :x

Heh, ewm, I live in Texas, and how the heck did Texas policies cause this?  It doesn't even make sense to turn a tragedy like this that is due to one person into a political statement JUST BECAUSE IT WAS IN A RED STATE.

Ewm, you are not an idiot.  Don't act like one.

I would think that by now we would all know to just not debate Ewm, its like XP trying to talk an old MAC.

Its stories like this that make me wonder about my generation. WHAT WHAT on earth could of he been thinking? Escaping the responsibility's? guys a class A lunatic, no wonder he had to move to become a 'minister' any church in his area probably knew he was cracked. my word....he had best get locked up.

He's a sick sicko. He makes me feel like... like I want to...  :x

There are allot allot of sick people out their I remiber a case where 3 kids where killed in a washing museen in the same time. The kids wher sutffed in a close washer and then terned on.

There are allmost as meny sick people out thare as helthy people. The most scary one are the ones that are hie fuctioning to make a life for them self.

That's sick, but I'd just like to say...we're really good at noticing the problems of the government in power and ignoring the problems of the people we want to replace them.

At the same time, although I think what Rhaz says is true, we humans are guilty of the converse as well. We would rather stick with the evil that we know than the evil that we don't. I think that this leads us humans to stick with bad policies and incompetent rulers out of fear that we will create even worse ones if we should dare get rid of them (bad policies and rulers). The best way to deal with this, as everyone knows, is to make an informed decision.

That said I (and I think everyone as well) was horrified by this article several months ago...

I'm starting a count here... 1 post so far that ewm has refused to touch on.  Keep in mind, this is the beginning.

I'd repost it, but ewm can click a mouse.  He can turn the page, and he can give simply decency and respect and reply.


ewm, are you saying that the protection of Iraqi civilians from paramilitary and terrorist forces is a lie?

If you want, I can talk to some soldiers who have fought in Iraq, and ask them what they fight for: some lurking shadow of WMDs, or the safety of innocent men, women, and children in the face of their very own people who are out to kill them.

ewm, can you hazard a guess as to how they will answer?  Will you anwser ME in this reply, after insulting my home?

Will I have to bump the counter of replies ignored up to 2?

I don't think is cosed it I think is makes a environment that makes crime easy.

• Such as gun laws. Lets you carry weapons in bigs city's like Huston.
  
  
• A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
• It is unlawful for a person to consume an alcoholic beverage while operating a motor vehicle upon a public roadway, if the person is observed doing so by a peace officer.
• The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.
• You can be legally married by publically introducing a person as your husband or wife 3 times
• A city ordinance states that a person cannot go barefoot without first obtaining a special five-dollar permit.

- Lubbock County

• It is illegal to drive within an arm's length of alcohol - including alcohol in someone else's blood stream.

- San Antonio

• It is illegal for both sexes to flirt or respond to flirtation using the eyes and/or hands.
• It is illegal to urinate on the Alamo

----

• Supreme Court's 1989 ruling in Texas vs. Johnson, which struck down Texas' flag desecration law, they said.

Heres what I got from doing a quick check. What do you think you whould have after GWB left...

Where did you get these?  The only one I know is true is that it is indeed illegal to urinate on the Alamo.  Several sound like complete bunk, but the Texas legislature is a mess(and the constitution as well, I suppose) due in part to the political climate when they were formed.  The Texas legislature may be ineffective, but it only meets every other year and even they don't really have time to deal with things containing the pettiness you describe.

And, I suppose, it doesn't really surprise me in the end.  About a year ago a friend of mine went through the state laws of New York, and came out with some even more preposterous things than what you present.

I would still like to know where you got these.

Do a Google search for Texas dumb laws I think Florida has the dumbest I have seen. It is ilegal to have sex with your socks on if Florida.

Meaning what?
Sex with socks is... well, simply put: it must not happen!  :x

Or do they really mean "sexual intercourse" with socks? Besides both meanings are frakking weird I see nothing wrong in that! :lol:  :thumbsup: ;)

It never ceases to amuse me how these little, dumb things manage to sneak into bills.  I suppose one could have a great deal of fun with it as a lawmaker.  :lol:

However, the ones without references are dubious at best, and there are several that I have difficulty believing.

You should try doing it with your socks on. It makes you feel like a real man.  :thumbsup:

I don't know about these... but sometimes life IS stranger than fiction so.....

...sometimes though the sites lie to you and in actuality the laws may be null and void. I believe in Illinois it was at one time illegal to speak english... but because of a change in leadership those laws no longer apply. Could this be the case as well (some sort of mix up or intentional misleading information?)?

Well in some case the laws contradict them self. Its weird.

Not a law: but some times you will find some like:

Do not cross the street until you wont to but not befor.
