Did you know Satan is Natas backwards?

Once Natas gets a meaning, whew, big trouble for us.

Here is a story worth of reporting.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela has forced U.S. cartoon "The Simpsons" off its airwaves, calling the show a potentially bad influence on children, and filled its morning slot with reruns of the beach-and-bikini show "Baywatch."

I don't care about there politics, but for the love of god, don't fuck with the Simpsons.

That's like ten times worse then burning the American flag.

Animals.

Correction: 90% of the time, victims of rape know who there rapists are.

Just for this story, I am not going to vote.

This country is full of REAL journalists now-a-days.

I couldn't imagine my life without knowing this.

"Chicago's experience has suggested otherwise."

"The only positive deterrent effect was the reduction of larcenies within 100 feet of the cameras. No other crimes were affected"

That would suggest your comment is reporting only on the slightest of offenses.

"Say what?! 90% of rapists who are known by their victims wear disguises to rape women on the street? Where on earth did you get this nugget?"

Read my comment again, you have completely changed what I said.

If you don't wish to reread it, let me say it once more. 90% of the time, victims of rape know who there victims are, I never said 90% of rapes involve disguises.

Most street crime can be opportunistic, true, but criminals of lesser crimes tend to stay in there comfort zone.

And if hidden cameras were used, that would only create new places for criminals to commit crimes, you cannot have a camera every 250 feet.

And there IS a difference between a cop surveilling the streets and a camera, most criminals with the intent to commit a crime will not be stopped by a camera, the threat of a cop, however, is much different. Look at child molestors, almost every month there is new video footage on the National press level of a perp abducting a child in plain sight. So if the criminal wishes to commit the crime, a camera will not stop him.

And I had already considered the use of law enforcement beyond my earlier comment, which is why I said "for the people, not the man in charge." Most authority figures in those times were used as a deterrence to revolution of the government, sure criminals were arrested and jails and prisons were used to keep them, but the power of the ruler was in higher priority than the protection of the people.

"It's _very_ rare for street crimes to involve disguises.*"

And you still haven't given any sources to this comment.

If you would like mine, here.

Criminal Investigation. 9th edition. Swanson.
The American System of Criminal Justic. 11th edition. Cole.
Corrections in America. 5th edition. Allen.

I am also a criminal law student, I would love to hear where you got this piece of information.

"It's _very_ rare for street crimes to involve disguises.*"

It is not that I just disagree with you but my 19 text books seem to provide a much different answer.

So simply provide me with a source of your information.

"This practice is as old as civilization and is nearly global in use."

Actually, a unified police force, one that works for the people, not the man in charge, has only been around since 1829. Robert Peel and the metropolitan police act.

Disguises are used in street crime, especially rapes, because 9 times out of 10 the person being raped knows the rapist. But you act as if these people walk around everywhere with the disguise. Most criminals will scope out a spot to commit crime, not walk aimlessly waiting for a hot pick to come across their path.

Police cameras will not stop crime, crime is like a virus, we may deter it, but it evolves. Disabling a camera, wearing a disguise, these are just a few ways to disprove the effectiveness of cameras.

And these cameras, they aren't cheap. Who do you believe will have to pay for these? But i'm sure when the cop budget has been cut, you will feel safe being mugged and knowing that there is a big, strong camera at your back, instead of a person.

I live in Dorchester, MA. So do not act like you are the only one who experiences crime.

A murder or shooting happens here almost daily.

Do not assume because I believe in prevention and education I am somewhat less aware of the situation with criminals. I am sure you must live in a crime-ridden neighborhood, but so do I, so do not cast me away as some suburbanite.

And understanding crime is hardly an impossible goal. Right now, we seem only interested in responding and punishing it, which is a problem in and of itself.

And you don't believe disguises are used while committing crimes? In alot of armed robbery cases, especially on banks, the disguise usually connect the criminal to the crime in the end. If you want proof, hell, type robbery and disguise in Google.

As much as I hate finding myself in agreement with Takuan, I am.

If you want examples of do-rags and baseball caps, among other tools of disguise, look no further to California's massive gang problems. They are not some underground group of misfits, they are proud, they are strong, and they are dangerous. Often displaying tatoos associated with gangs.

Cops are very much aware of these gangs, and many have argued over the lack of police patrol in neighborhoods containing these gangs. Mostly because of the danger involved, and in some cases, racism.

Surveillence may seem comforting, but that type of thinking that "If you are not doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?" is bullshit. It is the same attitude police expect when they ask to search your house with your consent. Why deny them unless you are guilty of something?

Truth is, it is not monitoring crime that we need to worry about, it is our education systems, our availability of after-school programs, increase in psychiatric caring that we need to start funding and other ways of preventing and understanding crime.

Ofcourse someone like that shouldn't be in office. Someone who uses there power in politics to finance a religious organization. Yes, organization.

But the people of Chicago, at some point, found her fit enough to be in office. But to the point of having the right to say it, she does, having the power and press to say it, thank Chicago.

I don;t know where you get your facts, but you might want to reconsider a new source for information.

Since 2002, the US Supreme Court ruled the execution of Mentally Challanged people cruel and unusual punishment and has been unconstitutional ever since.

Decriminalization of marijuana is something that needs to be addressed, but its medicinal values aren't as miraculous as you make them seem.

Hemp would not revitalize our economy. Peak Oil is something we need to consider, unless hemp can replace oil, this economy is far from being saved.

It was my mistake to post it here. So perhaps we can move the discussion to its proper place and address it there.

I am interested in what your response is to post #202 in the 'Pregnant Man' case.

Dactylography is only one form of criminal identification.

While its use is powerful, many other forms of CID are still going to get you.

It is because protestors are devoid of any power and unmotivated to attain it, so once the idea of boycotting the Olympics came into play, they decided to act on it.

So perhaps we should give Iran the olympics in 2012. Maybe change will come then. (HAH!)

Do not be suprised if the US does not intervene.

Capitalism isn't complicated. Actually it really has only one fundamental question prior to taking action in foreign affairs.

How can we capitalize from this?

Who is more valuable to the US, China or Tibet?

This is funny, the Japanese is telling US not to take pictures.

Reverse it and the Japanese tourists here will have nothing to do!

Forget to mention.

What tickets are gardners issuing?

Failure to cut grass?

Each group of people provides privilages to those belonging to that group. May they be small or large, they exist.

But mixing up a point like that does nothing but ruin your argument.
