I was going to suggest Nagy's Favourite Film but good taste made me refrain.

You are right, it is from my favourite film. It's the comment Renault makes after Brandel's win.

"Be Reborn if Mike Rutherford is your friend!"(12)
I think this one is just brilliant!
(Even if I do say so myself  )
By the way, yesterday's answer was GORMANDISE.

Palingenesis.
Mike Rutherford is in the popular beat combo Genesis, and friend = pal.
Palingenesis is Greek for 'being born again'.

I get the impression meth basically gives you a moral lobotomy and cranks up the aggression, bloody ugly!

There are times when you think everyone should be fitted with a tap before puberty, and it only gets turned on if you both pass a test to have a kid... 
Wouldn't really want to do it, but people like them do make you think maybe it's not such a bad idea.

Maybe a heavier sentence? Just to make sure that teens from everywhere may not think that killing their own kid (just because they're not responsible to have one) isn't a bad idea.
Tsk, why those kind of people cannot understand what "responsible actions" mean?

If they understood "responsible actions" the pregnancy would never have happened...
And anyway: the US does not mess about with sentences already. When they want you locked up, they start with "life" and add on 50 years for each victim!

My point exactly.
OriginalGriff wrote: they start with "life" and add on 50 years for each victim!
Now I've got confused. So you're saying about "life" is they take the "life" then the "add 50 years" part means, they'll store the lifeless body for 50 years?!

It basically means "even if you do behave yourself, and get eligible for parole, you won't get it until well and truly after you are dead"
They take the Get Out Of Jail Free cards from the convicts Monopoly set and burn them, then smash the ashes into dust, and scatter the dust into a hurricane!

Well said. 
Is it synonymous to "Sorry, parole doesn't exist." or "Error 404: Parole Not Found"?

Life sentences, in general, does not mean that one will be locked up until he dies. They are generally between 12 to 50 years depending on the country you are in.
Now, in some countries, if one is found guilty for multiple crimes and say, is jailed for 10 years for crime one and 20 years for crime 2, both duration are simultaneous. So, effectively, it is 20 years of jail. Also, I believe in some places, jail day is 12 hours and not 24. In other places, it will be 30 calendar years of jail.
In US, I believe each state has there own law so not sure what life would mean where.

...but the way you describe your code samples makes me laugh.

In a lot of the US there are Life Means Life sentences handed out for particularly reprehensible scumbags to make sure they'll only ever leave prison in a box.
They're not, AFAIK, concentrated in any particular region either; having support both from the law and order means harsher sentences group to the right and anti-capital punishment groups on the left who want to keep juries from thinking if they don't vote for death the convict might eventually be let out.

Why do people like these do not do an overdose? That would help.

What's really sad is that they're regarded as under influence (title seems to indicate this, didn't read the article). So they couldn't help themselves ... 
On the other hand, it might be cruel to say this, but the kids were probably better off in this case.

Not really - hopefully they were free of birth defects caused by the mother's Meth use during the pregnancy, but there are always couples ready to adopt.

How long does that take? In real life, these kids go from foster home to orphanage to child care institutions and every step of the way they're introduced into the world of their mother, with drug abuse, violence, ... If they are lucky enough to be adopted by loving parents how fast will that be? In Belgium adoption procedures can take 2 - 10 years !

AFAIK infant adoption in the US is reasonably fast; it's older kids that tend to get stuck in and ground up by the system because, unfortunately, most people really want babies not older kids.
