I laughed, but it's sort of sad at the same time, because it really sounds like something I'd do, too.

Anyone who says that the punishment is fair should do time in prison.

People do the dumbest things on ebay. But, no, I don't think it was necessary to punish him for it.

Good to see that the court is spending their time on more serious issues, such as putting child molesters and serial killers in jail...

sounds a little overboard. I mean, it's not like politicians dont buy votes in other ways anyway.
