FBI is not taking action after several tips. If I could afford a private investigator I would and hand over any findings to authorities. Would involve extensive (and expensive) surveilance as the man travels for a living around the country, with brief weekend stays in major cities. Asking for advice on if there is a way to find someone to sponsor a P.I. to catch this person. That sponsor should pick whatever investigator they chose; just want this person properly investigated and off the streets. Person is a pedophile/rapist and has been known to have child porn on his pc before.
I'm not asking advice on contacting the authorities. Have been that route already and have been told there is not much they can do. They don't have enough to open investigation - hence needing a private investigator.
Any advice or referal's are greatly welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Im just curious what the rest of the country feels like when they are watching their local late night news, and a story about a fight or shooting that took place in a school happens and the news interviews some students and apon their mouth opening to answer the reporter...that "stupid" voice is quickly heard. Where the young adult talks sort of like..."i was like oh my god, i couldnt believe they done that to her." Im in L.A., now that just might have something to do with that, cause the majority of the students thay I see this problem is with hispanic students. But at the same time not just hispanics, other races as well. But how about you, have you seen what I am describing here? I ask this because its just so sad, because these kids are...sadly the future of our world...Im 23...and just very curious about other peoples input.

When you are on a train, do you ask the person next to you what caste he is before you sit down? Do you ask the waiter in the restaurant what caste he is before he serves you food. Or is this untouchability, casteism just the myopia (short sightedness) and games the politicians play just to get their party in power.

Culture: fundamental social values, fundamental ethics; fundamental morals have been tried and tested through centuries. Then culture evolves, evolved on the fount which is the scriptures. God's word. Not man made law. Which country reads it the best and follows it the best?

this is mostly to you people who think other people who drop out of school are lazy or want an easy way out. or maybe they just don't understand the reality of life? well my question is, what do you say to someone who dropped out of school because they couldn't take it. they couldn't stand being picked on all the time, or they were too shy to make any friends. what if they could do the work just fine, as long as they weren't worrying about their social life all of the time? no, they don't want to flip burgers for the rest of their lives, but they also don't want to be abused by people who have nothing better to do. what do you say to these people, because that is the situation of plenty of people who drop out. it's kind of hard to deal with all of the school work when they have to worry about finding somewhere to sit in the cafeteria since they have no friends. i'm curious, enlighten me.

Ok, I understand:
the kids trying to get us to do thier homework for them
the trolls
the bashers of [women, men, gays, muslims, christians, fat people, disabled people, etc.]
the anti folks [topics include fat people, gays, conservatives, librals, muslims, racists, men, women, old people, right to lifers, over zealous christians, etc.]

But why, oh why, do people who know what they are looking for come here for answers instead of going to:
google or yahoo for most things?
amazon for book related questions?
IMBD for movie related question
.gov for things having to do with taxes, DMV, and the legal process
wikipida for history, social science and general information questions.

They have a computer, they found their way to yahoo answers how can they not navigate the rest of the information superhighway?

And from Australia of all places!



Excerpts from an on going debate in Australia This is true and can be checked at


http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/australia.asp



Muslims who want to live under Islamic Shari law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Shari law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on National Television.



"I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia : one the Australian law and another Islamic law that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Shari law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option", Costello said



Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off. Basically people who don't want to be Australians, and who don't want, to live by Australian values and understand them, well then, they can basically clear off", he said.



Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.

Quote: "IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians."



"However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the 'politically correct' crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia " "However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand." "This idea of Australia being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. And as Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle."

"This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom"



"We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society .. Learn the language!"

"Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture."

"We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us."

"If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. By all means, keep your culture, but do not force it on others.

"This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'."



"If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here So accept the country YOU accepted."



Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths !



If you agree please SEND THIS TO EVERYBODY YOU KNOW!

I did and it was the best thing that ever happend to me. I was seriously out of control with my drinking and as I recall a man driving behind me followed me called the police and I was arrested, as I well should have been. I wish I could find him and thank him. Who knows how many lives he saved that day. I know had I made it home I would have without a doubt, driven drunk again.It cost me a night in jail, 3 thousand dollars, DUI classess, AA meetings and alot more. That was a million dollar experience I wouldn't give a nickel to repeat. Dont rink and drive!!! EVER!!!!!

Parents, did a coach ever ignore your child, promising playtime that never happened, hurting childrens morale, selecting only the best players, while using gov grants to run leagues, is that fair? please give your input, what can be done? What did you do? Its seems their solution is upsetting parents enough to leave and not bring the child back to the team! most coaches are volunteers but there must be another way! I've seen it too many times! thanks!
