A crime which almost half the people who commit it get away with it. Killing another human being.
Not all forms of killings are considered murder. Accidental killings are usually not, although they may constitute a lesser offense such as manslaughter if done extremely carelessly. Self Defense killings also usually not considered a crime, but may constitute voluntary manslaughter if done with excessive force or under a mistaken belief that one's life is in danger. (Varies by circumstance extremely). In some countries, the death penalty is carried out and is not considered murder, while in most, it IS considered murder and is therefore abolished. In some states, lethal force is authorized if one's property is in danger. For example, if I see someone stealing a TV from my driveway, my life is not in danger, but my belonging is, so in some states, that alone is justification to use lethal force.

In some places, murder is punishable by death. This is usually only reserved for first degree, premeditated and planned out murder. Most often though, First Degree murder is punished by life imprisonment with parole eligibility after a certain number of years. Sometimes there is no parole eligibility. Second Degree Murder is usually punished by a fixed term imprisonment, usually around 20-40 years in prison, but in some jurisdictions, it's punishable by life with parole.
Even when a prisoner is eligible for parole, it's rarely granted for murder. In fact, parole eligibility serves a purpose mainly for mental health. A prisoner who 100% certainly will spend their life in jail deteriorates rapidly, while a prisoner with SOME prospect for release has an incentive to behave well and stay healthy.

Get the New England Accent mug.When you cheated on someone but you excuse it as something that "just happened" and you didn't want it to. It rarely works because you're a human being and you can control your actions.
Jake: Babe sorry we were just hanging out, I complemented her makeup, and one thing led to another, I didn't mean it
Mary: Yeah right, we're done Jake!
Mary: Yeah right, we're done Jake!

Get the One thing led to another mug.One of the most annoying things to come across is someone who is offended on behalf of someone else, especially when that other person themselves isn't offended or even a victim. It's when someone is offended by something that isn't an attack on them.
American Liberals are offended on behalf of someone else when they try to make us replace "Indian" with "Native American", even when Indians themselves prefer the former and are not offended at all.

Get the Offended on behalf of someone else mug.The ultra important, high falutin, and just all around annoying sister of your spouse. She will not be at your wedding because she has more important things to do, and if by chance she shows up, she'll ruin it. She's your mother-in-law's teammate and soldier.
The ideal sister-in-law is one that resides six feet below the ground in a cemetery, right next to the ideal mother-in-law.

Get the Sister-in-law mug.It's NOT just a bunch of open fields and Mount Rushmore. There are several cities in the state, it's very mountainous in the West. South Dakota is probably tied with North Dakota for which state best fits the definition of "Great plains state". There are also lots of Indian reservations here too, about 1/3 of the state. Unlike Oklahoma, these tribes weren't forcefully moved here, they are the original people of the Dakotas. But best of all, in South Dakota, you can get a full drivers license at the very young age of 14. So if you're a 14 or 15 year old from New York who likes making fun of South Dakota, you really should be jealous of it.

Get the South Dakota mug.A common unpleasant surprise one can find on their shoe after going on a walk in the park. Also it sticks nicely to your shoe and will enter every crevice of the bottom of your shoe as to make it nearly impossible to completely get rid of, so a tiny bit will be on your shoe permanently.
Sometimes after you return from a walk in the park, you're treated to dog shit on the bottom of your shoe that you have to scrape off bit by bit because nothing else will work.
