While the terminology has changed, so has the way it seems to be done, lately. Most burglars just sneak in, take what they want when they are pretty sure you aren't home, and leave, quietly. 'Home invasion' criminals break in HOPING to find someone home to intimidate, torture, abuse, rape, and maybe kill, THEN they steal what they want. Here, they just call that a regular break-in. -- Ken Tough South Africa |

Well Blair heavily covered Bush's ass this time around (the whole "coalition" thing) so the godfather is even. Blair covered Bush's ass with what? With lives? --Or with words? Mostly words. We do appreciate his words of support and the political risks he personally took. We also appreciate those British soldiers who serve and risk their lives along side those from the US. But...before we draw tit-for-tat comparisons, I think it deserves a consideration that is in reasonable proportion. There is really little/no comparison between the two wars in terms of sacrifice and toll as assisting allies. That is not to say that it should have been similarly proportioned, either. I just think we should be slower to equate the two acts of assistance. They are extremely dissimilar in terms of sacrifice and service. |

You can do the Google search if you want for Queensland Australia about
the recent new laws about photographing children in public places and as for the guy arrested, he was a friend of my brother who lives over there and I'm sure wouldn't appreciate his name etc. being posted as a reference. Alan MarkČ wrote: "Ron Hunter" wrote in message ... MarkČ wrote: "retoohs" wrote in message . .. There was a guy recently in Queensland (Aust) that was arrested for photographing his own child at a park on a swing. The charges were dropped but how pathetic is that Alan Where are all these stories coming from, and why should we believe them? I know that people are more paranoid than they should be (I've complained about this problem too), but these stories about illegalities, etc. are sounding more and more unbelievable, and so far...unsubstantiated. I am tending to think that many of the examples in this thread are the equivalent of "news vaporware." Any references? Thanks. Which ones? None of the posts in this thread (regarding laws "here" or there as stated) came with any indication of verification. |

Alan I'm not saying it didn't happen...but these stories always seem to be based on a "friend of so-and-so..." I'll do a quick search. My predection: Nada. I'll be happy to admit that my prediction was wrong if shown otherwise. MarkČ wrote: "Ron Hunter" wrote in message ... MarkČ wrote: "retoohs" wrote in message .. .
