Yasmin (given name)

Yasmin (Persian: یاسمین yâsamin) is a feminine given name.

Etymology

Yasmin is the name in Persian for a flowering plant, and from which the name Jasmine derives.

The pronunciation of Yasmin is often parallel with the English Jasmine, but in Persian, Arabic and Turkish the "s" is not taken as a "z", and so is often pronounced as /ˈjæsmɪn/.

    Crime

    In ordinary language, the term crime denotes an unlawful act punishable by a state. The term "crime" does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition, though statutory definitions have been provided for certain purposes. The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law. One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some individual or individuals but also to a community, society or the state ("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.

    The notion that acts such as murder, rape and theft are to be prohibited exists worldwide. What precisely is a criminal offence is defined by criminal law of each country. While many have a catalogue of crimes called the criminal code, in some common law countries no such comprehensive statute exists.

    The state (government) has the power to severely restrict one's liberty for committing a crime. In modern societies, there are procedures to which investigations and trials must adhere. If found guilty, an offender may be sentenced to a form of reparation such as a community sentence, or, depending on the nature of their offence, to undergo imprisonment, life imprisonment or, in some jurisdictions, execution.

    No Crime

    by: L.A. Guns

    You want your cake and eat it
    Better eat it on your own
    'Cos I won't be there listening
    While you glitter on your throne
    I've pleaded with you a thousand times
    Still it's not enough
    I've spilled my blood there's too much pain
    I'm fed up of hanging tough
    It brings me down
    You can call me crazy girl
    That's no crime
    I'll admit I'm flaky and a drag sometimes
    Always hated stupid rules
    That's no crime
    Not immaculate conception
    That's no crime
    You're an expert on integrity
    You always want it right
    Impeccable divine pedigree
    You glow with neon light
    I'm drowning in your swamp of love
    Fighting just to breathe
    Like to love you baby but you know
    I've got to leave
    It brings me down
    You can call me crazy girl
    That's no crime
    I'll admit I'm lazy and a drag sometimes
    Always hated stupid rules
    Not immaculate conception
    That's no crime
    That's no crime
    It brings me down
    You can call me crazy girl
    That's no crime
    I'll admit I'm flaky and a drag sometimes
    Always hated stupid rules
    That's no crime
    Not immaculate conception
    That's no crime
    Just love me for my attitude
    You could change your mind
    Yeah I'm a low life scum and sometimes rude
    That's no crime
    As a matter of fact your blazing temper
    Twists my mind
    You gotta learn humility and draw the line
