Last night someone (who looked about 20(!)) fired a firework out of their window at me (as in, "see if you can hit that bloke"). It didn't explode (thakfully as it ended up right next to me) but it hurt my leg when it hit it.
I took the firework home with me, if I told the police about this would they actually do anything or is this yet another area of "Let's have a crackdown but do nothing if anyone ignores us"?
I'm in the UK for all you Americans, so shooting them isn't an option.

It is animalistically "stupid" to make more babies than you can afford to take care of.~ I guess some are more horney than they are intelligent. Accidents waiting to happen!

Who has had their question and answers unfairly deleted for a community rules violation in the politics & government category? I'm new to Yahoo Answers and I did & I was quite stunned. I thought I asked a great (non-offensive) question about the election in the US tomorrow and received a lot of really intelligent, interesting answers. ( I'm not American ) Now I think I'm too nervous to ask or answer any more questions in this category. I'm disappointed because I like to ask questions and learn about other political viewpoints and processes besides my own country.

I just watched a discovery channel on Bin Laden, the US Militery,had film of him walking in a camp, and asked for the rights to bomb, but, he was there with the Prince of Saudia . The Princes father,the King had an arms deal with the US for $4 billion dollars. They refused to give the command, because the Saudi Prince may be kiled, and his father shut the deal down. Now my question is not, why did we pick money over this one time oppertunity,to take him out, because what he did on 9/11, cost us a lot more than $4 billion dollars.
My question is: If the King of Saudi has a son, visiting Bin Laden, days before they arms deal is made, isn't there a chance that those very same weapons, could be sold to Bin Ladin, and does it not show, that this king, has some sort of personal interest with him,

I'd like to see how many of you have a real good solution to this instead of just yapping and insulting anyone you come across. All sides of course are welcome.
Oh and one more thing, please give a good defence of your suggestion and use rational and sensible ideas, no emotional bleeding-heart reasons or illogical and pointless references.

Soldiers say Iraq pullout would be devastating
Leaving fledgling state could help insurgents, betray Iraqis, troops warn.
FORWARD OPERATING BASE SYKES, Iraq - For the U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, the war is alternately violent and hopeful, sometimes very hot and sometimes very cold. It is dusty and muddy, calm and chaotic, deafeningly loud and eerily quiet.
The one thing the war is not, however, is finished, dozens of soldiers across the country said in interviews. And leaving Iraq now would have devastating consequences, they said.
With a potentially historic U.S. midterm election on Tuesday and the war in Iraq a major issue at the polls, many soldiers said the United States should not abandon its effort here. Such a move, enlisted soldiers and officers said, would set Iraq on a path to civil war, give new life to the insurgency and create the possibility of a failed state after nearly four years of fighting to implant democracy.

Database changed to include deported illegal immigrants
By MICHAEL GRACZYK
Associated Press
HOUSTON — More than 2,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders, whose names were absent from a public statewide database because they were deported, have been restored to the Texas Department of Public Safety public Internet site after a Houston police officer's slaying a month ago.
Andy Kahan, director of the crime victim's office for Houston Mayor Bill White, said today he asked the Texas DPS to review its policy to not include deported offenders in the public database after an illegal immigrant, Juan Leonardo Quintero, was arrested Sept. 26 in the shooting death of Officer Rodney Johnson.
Quintero, 32, now jailed in Johnson's killing, in 1998 was charged with indecency with a child and the next year was given deferred adjudication, a form of probation, in the case. Kahan said when he ran Quintero's name through the DPS public online site, there was no record of him.
"First I thought he was on probation and didn't register and there should be a warrant out for his arrest," Kahan said. "I find out he actually did register and was deported. I was told by DPS officials they remove all sex offenders who are deported from the public database.
"My point was: What's the harm with just listing them as deported? I was stunned."
Kahan wrote Col. Thomas A. Davis, the director of the agency, arguing "there is no downside" in allowing the public to access deported sex offenders' public records.
"The public is our best set of 'eyes' and could possibly alert federal and or local authorities if they spot an offender who has re-entered the country," Kahan wrote.
Davis agreed, responding this week with a note to Kahan that the policy had been changed.
"I give them credit," Kahan said. "At least they obviously saw it should be changed and actually made the change."
The decision puts 2,084 names of deported offenders back on the list that's accessible to the public, DPS spokeswoman Tela Mange said.
The names had been kept off the public list because the deported offenders no longer were considered Texas residents and no longer had an obligation to register in the state, she said.
"Evidently, he came back and obviously didn't register," she said of Quintero.
Another database that law-enforcement officers and agencies can access continued to show the names of the deported offenders, although the names had been purged from the public list.
Convicted sex offenders in Texas have been required since 1991 to register. Refinements to the law in the past decade obligate most of those convicted since 1970 to submit their names, addresses and other personal information to their local law-enforcement agency at least once a year.
The material is published on the Internet site maintained by the Texas DPS and now includes some 46,000 names, triple the number when it first went online in 1999.
"We always ask our citizens to be our eyes and ears out there," Kahan said. "They need to know what they're looking for."
