Italian courts have repeatedly refused to extradite criminals to the U.S. due to our use of capital punishment, even when U.S. prosecutors promised not to seek capital punishment for those specific criminals.

Honestly I think a guy being able to get off fast is an asset. I know many women can have multiple orgasms but I am not one of them; after I'm finished, I'm usually ready to nap. If he hasn't finished at some point during 40 minutes of stripping, oral sex and contortions, I like the fact that I can just hop on his…

You know, good sir, I was all set to elevate the discussion. To comment about how Americans aren't single-minded, and we're a country of diverse opinions, and you can't make assumptions about the way that all of us think about a particular issue just because of stereotypes or obnoxious politicians. About how we're…

Ditto. I have no interest in being jack-hammered into the ground by All-Day Jay.

Am I the only one for whom this isn't a problem? Not that men haven't "arrived early", but I don't think it's a big deal? I actually sort of see it as a compliment...

Also, any women here besides me who regularly orgasm before your partner(s)?

But you wouldn't be a princess, you'd be Duchess Frumpington upon Mersey Hackenthorpe Jockston on Tweed or some shit like that and butlers and chambermaids would mock you mercilessly behind your back and then you would be sad and start drinking gin at breakfast and the next thing you know you're caught up in a love…

My understanding is that she didn't act the way she was expected to while being bullied and abused for hours on end by the Italian police. So she must be guilty.

Italy are trying their best to save face, but fuck them. There's a guy who admitted to doing it, he's in prison, and that should be the end of it.

In the Trayvon Martin case the local law is wrong. Each State has its own set of laws that other states often decry/support. (Hence the whole Gay Marriage disparity).

I'm curious what it is exactly that American papers "leave out" and British and Italian papers "leave in" that has the Brits and Italians so convinced of her guilt.

It's because she's alive and served time for a crime she didn't commit, Meredith is dead and her suffering is over.

I didn't say all the rest.

Um, no. FIRST they should consider doing justice. Convicting an innocent person for the sake of the feelings of the victim's family helps nobody. It is harmfully stupid.

According to the AP article the court cited statements from Guede. Who has changed his statements multiple times and been caught in numerous lies. There is nothing new here.

This is correct. But I'm sure she knows that and will never visit Europe again. I mean, I love Europe, but there are worse things than not visiting (like 28 years in an Italian prison)

I read The Monster of Florence and it's crazy, it's the freaking same guy who's obsessed with satanic rituals and who believes what crazy conspiracy people say and uses fake witnesses! A little chapter was added covering Amanda Knox's trial and I'm just convinced she's innocent after reading that book. It's a pretty…

Yes everyone has noticed that.

Nope. The US is actually only one of the FEW countries that has any sort of double jeopardy protection. Most of the rest of the world they can just keep trying you until you die.

Call some of those British publications "newspapers" may be giving them too much credit.
