I dunno about you but I don't have a soft spot for the Taliban. We all know that "it takes two to tango" but this article from The Age makes it appear that the Taliban don't think so. A small amout of biology study would impart the knowledge that a women generally requires a man to become pregnant. I wouldn't have thought that women in Taliban-controlled areas were liberated enough not to require the aid of a man for this purpose.
Talk about a mob of cavemen-mentality drongos.

Arsonists - Time To Reinstate The Death Penalty
Temperature 44-47 degrees celsius. Middle of summer. Winds up to 100km/h. Countryside bone dry. Perfect weather for the arsonist to ply his trade.
A couple of days later and 181 people lay dead with a death toll expected to reach 300. This is the greatest loss of life since the Ash Wednesday bushfires which claimed 75 lives. I seem to recall seeing the smoke from those fires as they weren't too far away.
Not all of the deaths occurred due to arson but police suspect that there could be 30 people has died as a result of one arsonist-lit fire alone.
It's quite senseless. And so is the fact that anyone found guilty of lighting a fire deliberately and causing loss of any life is not able to be put to death. I don't think there is a place in our society for these people and we should not have to pay anything to maintain them in jail, even if it is for the rest of their life.
Bring back the death penalty. It won't bring anyone back but the arsonist certainly won't have the opportunity to ruin anyone else's life.
