I am sick of this. Recently a peodophile, described by the police as "extremely dangerous to children" was moved into a flat near where I live. He lives no more than 300 yards from the local primary school. During the morning and afternoon, when children go to and from, he has a policeman posted outside his house.
I have found out that he has served a total of 6 years out of 28 years of sentences.
Not only do I pay for his housing and food etc but I also pay for the authorities to keep an eye on him.

What?? Surely we have to come up with a better policy on these kind of monsters.
I dont think they can be reformed. I think they will always be a threat. Our countries soft approach doesnt work. Sexual attacks breed sexual attackers. The government doesnt want them going "underground" but I dont exactly see them with posters and banners and going on free perverts marches.
I am a decent bloke and I want to live in a decent society.

So, there is no more room left in hell and the dead walk the earth. Will the government be prepared to deal with this kind of problem?

I live in the UK and am from sri lanka. I am staying here on the basis of living together (not married) with my partner who is a french national residing permantly in the UK. In April, i would have completed 4 years together. My letter says that i would be eligible for "time limit attached to your stay in this country to be removed". I have heard that the law has changed for work permits and that one has to wait for five years (instead of four)before applying for indefinite leave . I wonder if the same applies to me as well ? Any advice will be welcome.

Part of the justification of the presence of American troops in Iraq was to promote democracy against a tyrant. Yet they handed over the prisoner before the trials were finished, and even Saddam's massacres in Kurdistan haven't been examined.

Should the U.S. government be sued by Human Rights NGOs, along with former Iraqi officials, is this compatible with the Constitution ?

Police have refused to release photographs of two escaped murderers, claiming it might breach their human rights.
Killers Jason Croft and Michael Nixon are among 13 inmates to have absconded from Sudbury open jail in Derbyshire in the past two months.
Despite the fact that only two have been caught - and that the killers are still on the loose - Derbyshire Police said the public do not have a right to know what the convicts look like.
A spokesman for Derbyshire Police said: "When making
a decision to release any photograph, police forces must take into account numerous factors including the public interest test.


What do you think about this?

What about the rights of the public and the victim's families?

Does it seem that the rights of the criminals are more important than the rights of the victims?

The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it.

The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC,the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver.

A non working Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month.

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect a NIP with your monthly bill.

If you care about our freedoms and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website

If they don't have a valid answer they just say, 'Stop believing everything Fox News tells you' or 'You're brainwashed by Hannity and Rush'.

Should the conservatives start answering all liberal questions with an answer like, "Stop listening to everything the Daily Show tells you" or "You're brainwashed by Olbermann"?

If a regular person decided to run for President, would you be interested in a new unknown face that may not have the big dollars to run the kind of Presidential Campaign candidates' parties require to push their party to the public. I often wonder what happened to the United States Constitution? When I was little it was a big big deal when schools had to integrate. It was all over the news. The Civil Rights Act, 1964, forced states to integrate. I am looking for a new President who will close our borders. Bring our troops home! Protect us here at home. Keep businesses in America. Uphold and Embrace our Constitutional Rights as put forth by our Forefathers, and protect our way of life here, ay home, before we go off anywhere else to give aid! Our hungry. Our tired. Our masses are here. Let's feed them, house them, school them,first. Then we can go help others in need.
What do you think?

The Mexican Cession is a historical name for the region of the present day southwestern United States that was ceded to the U.S. by Mexico in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the Mexican-American War. The cession of this territory from Mexico was a condition for the end of the war, as United States troops occupied Mexico City, and Mexico risked being completely annexed by the U.S. The United States also paid $15,000,000 ($298,310,309 in 2005) for the land, which was the same it had offered for the land prior to the war. Under great duress, Mexico accepted the offer. The land ceded by Mexico is 14.9% of the total area of the current United States territory.

I was given "crime scene info"(how he died), and I went to the cops here, but they are small and the murder took place 20 years ago. I gave a statement, but nothing was done, and I wasnt contacted when I called a month later, like I'm some crackpot. The guy who was killed, I was friends with his son and would like to see justice done. If anything, I know who was in the room when it happened, all they have to do is contact and interrogate that person.
