| Open Question: Did I do the right thing? | Top |
| I have become a cop and while working I was confronted with one of my friends who said "it would be really funny to punch you in the face now your a cop" so hid did and knocked my hat off. The punch didn't hurt but he was laughing about it so I arrested him. He put up a fight which lead to me calling in backup which caused to other cops to be more than a little rough with him due to him hitting a cop and he ended up in hospital. We kind of came to a deal and he wasn't charged so he isn't putting in a claim against the police but I cant help thinking if I did the right thing | |

| Open Question: Why do blacks commit more crime? | Top |
| The data provide a breakdown of the ethnicity of the 18,091 men and boys who police took action against for a range of violent and sexual offences in London in 2009-10. They show that among those proceeded against for street crimes, 54 per cent were black; for robbery, 59 per cent; and for gun crimes, 67 per cent. Street crimes include muggings, assault with intent to rob and snatching property. Just over 12 per cent of London's 7.5 million population is black, including those of mixed black and white parentage, while 69 per cent is white, according to the Office for National Statistics. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/7856787/Violent-inner-city-crime-the-figures-and-a-question-of-race.html Is it because they are poor, because the police and courts are racist, or is there some other reason? Whatever the reason, wouldn't less 3rd world immigration have made London a safer place? Are the Sunday Telegraph and the Metropolitan Police racist too, or is it all my fault for daring to mention it? Mr. Smartypants, in your little scenario of left Vs right handed people, why are the left handers paid less? If it's because they are generally less well educated, have fewer skills, or a bad attitude, who's fault is that? http://www.met.police.uk/caught_on_camera/index.htm | |

| Open Question: How can we stop hate crimes against Catholics or at least get them recognised as such? | Top |
| Every weekend theres another report of a suspected sectarian attack against a Catholic, usually in Derry or north Antrim. Last year one fella was killed and another seriously injured in Coleraine, loyalists ran into the estate and grabbed anybody that was there. It took the PSNI 3 weeks to accept it was a sectarian attack based on religious hatred, but it still wasn't classed as a hate crime. How can we stop this? Obviously we can't rewrite history and right all wrongs but how can the authorities be made to realize somebody being given a kicking because of their religion is a hate crime and not a suspected sectarian attack on a Catholic? I'm just reminded of Thomas Devlin and the Quinn Boys, Thomas Devlin was a 15 year old child stabbed 9 times by two loyalists, the Quinn Boys were 3 kids burnt to death in Ballymena after loyalists threw petrol bombs through their windows. Huckle: yeah i see your point, loyalists were attacking Catholics because they were abused by Catholic Priests, and how does that work seeing how we don't live near them or even go to the same schools? i know the north of Ireland is too complicated for most people, but its pretty basic in its set up. Ladymoon, the catholics started blowing up UK cities? do you have the means to prove that? if Ireland is 80 percent Catholic i think you would find Britain would be nothing but rubble if every Irish Catholic started attacking britain. | |

| Open Question: A cop told a friend said I signed a statement against him over something and I never did? | Top |
| Some stupid situation happened the other night. I went to the police station, NEVER SIGNED A STATEMENT (I'm only 17 and i refused, Yes My Mother Was With Me). I was texting the guy who was in trouble and he said the cop showed him my statement and another friend's. The question I'm trying to ask is that, is it possible for a cop to seriously go ahead and take details and put them into a statement and forge the signature (Write a false statement and said I wrote it)... Because I swear to god I NEVER signed a statement. Thanks Can I get a lawyer or something, There is no way that he is legally allowed to do that. I am willing to fight this legally. I asked my ex-friend for copies of the statements... because that is signing a false statement. Just cause they were picked on all their lives, and are fat fu**in pigs don't make them right.. | |

| Open Question: What is the UK Law on Staffordshire Bull Terriers being kept on a lead in a public place UK Question? | Top |
| Should Staff's be kept on a lead in a public place? What is the actual law? The reason I am asking is because I was outside my house at around 10:30pm the other night and a woman who lives at the top of my street has a puppy staffordshire bull terrier, and it came running down the road to me barking. She called it and the dog didn't listen, it ran back to her on around the 4th time of calling. I have since confronted her about this and she says, it's not a violent dog it won't do anything!! How does she know this?? I don't know this dog, all I saw was a staff running towards me. Can anybody give me some advise on this please Thanks. | |
| Open Question: How to avoid getting in trouble with the law, when someone else is inevitably going to start something? | Top |
| Hello, I'm 18 years old and will be attending a friends 18th birthday party next month. I've only known the person for a few months and I met my current girlfriend through her. However, my girlfriends ex-boyfriend will also be there (who goes to school with my friend, and so has known her longer.) This wouldn't at all be a problem... If the guy wasn't so obsessed with my girlfriend that is. When they were together he would go mad with her for talking to other guys, and even a month after they broke up, he got into two heated arguments with two other guys just because they were talking to her! So we'll meet for the first time in the party. I will of course be with my girlfriend aswell. Which made me wonder... How do I stay out of trouble if he was to start something? I'm not worried about getting hurt myself... I weigh around 4 stone more than him, my arms are literally thicker than his legs and I do Boxing. I'm just worried about the law... As I don't want anything to get in the way of my University place this year; especially not some lanky faggot who's up his own arse, and thinks that because he has a lot of money he has the right to everything and everyone. Thanks. I used the word "inevitable" as a worst case scenario | |

| Open Question: Am I a criminal if im caught speeding? | Top |
| I propose rather than one speed limit cap we should be given the option of means testing for fitness & judgement in order to give you a license to +10mph on the speed limit. Afterall the cops are human and able to speed, maybe they should open up the advanced driver training to the public. Im not advocating speeding or wreckless driving but I believe speeding can be done safely if you pick your moments wisely. I do find it silly that so much time and money is spent policing people who are doing maybe 8mph over the speed limit. Thus making most people in this catagory a criminal? Are people really endangering the lives of others if they reaction times are better than most? Or is it all about making money? Please comment on this, thankyou. | |

| Open Question: Should employers be allowed to pay off casual workers and then re-hire them? | Top |
| When work closes for holidays i'm looking for other work in the meantime to keep me going, i haven't had a holiday in 4 years, no signed contract with firms i'm subbed out to my contract is with the agency i work for. I get a day and a half paid holiday for every month i work, i'm actually highly skilled and qualified but i hate working with other people but its the life i chose for myself and being paid of is a fact of life for me especially around holiday time. Boss told me last week to "take a holiday" meaning i'm paid off again! so i took the holiday, the wife booked last thursday friday and this monday off, had a fantastic long weekend. Went fishing got sunburnt on the Irish coast, beers barbques on the rocks and came back yesterday. Face and arms like beetroot, boss phoned me this morning "when you coming back to work?" sorry i'm still on holiday cockface! and i hung up. Cheeky bastard paid me off to save on some holiday pay then phones me like i'm a dog thats going to go running to him. Honest to God i'm a great worker but enough is enough. Should employers either pay off casual workers for good or retain their services with holiday pay? I do know i'm out of a job now, but i'm going to let them run to me. You wouldn't believe the dirty tricks agencies and the subbies use to get out of paying money when the fact is i make and save them money. quizzard, this great worker does call his boss cockface, especially when he's been treated like shite for over 5 years. I was paid off because i finish ahead of time and the subby boss didn't want to run over on his budget. I am expendable i know this. I would work you into the ground, you would piss blood from every pore before i even broke sweat. Don't come the high and mighty with me chum Quizzard, i do apologise, i guess i'm looking for a fight or looking to hit back at someone. Whats done is done, i'm out of a job, its me out of a job so it is my problem. | |
| Open Question: In what kind of Country do the Police need "no law" to detain a Human Being.? | Top |
| That's right,...no law is need to arrest and detain someone. Two police officers stopped a teenage photographer from taking pictures of an Armed Forces Day parade - and then claimed they did not need a law to detain him. Jules Mattsson, a 16-year-old freelancer from Hackney, east London, was photographing police cadets on Saturday when he was ordered to stop and give his personal details by an adult cadet officer who claimed he needed parental permission to capture images of the cadets. After arguing his rights in a series of protracted legal debates with officers, the sixth former says he was pushed down a set of stairs and detained for breaching the peace until the parade passed. see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQucfv0slOE&feature=player_embedded I say sue them. We all of us should be aware of the so called "terror threat" and be watchful for "who" exactly is behind the alleged terror, but if we allow the "threat" of terror (which we are constantly warned about through the Media) to turn the United Kingdom into a nation where honest law abiding peaceful human beings cannot take photos of PUBLIC events, where will this end. WHERE ARE YOUR PAPERS? Which brings me back to the original question... In what kind of Country do the Police need "no law" to detain a Human Being. WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY? | |

| I live in a two bedroom house. Its the house my parents bought when they got married. The other day I was thinking about the fact that I have an older brother who uses the second bedroom in the house (the first one is used by my parents obviously). Does this mean I was an unplanned baby? I know I probably don't want to know the answer to this question but at the same time, I need to know! (In case it makes a difference to anyone's answer, my parents bought a couch bed when I was about three or four for me to sleep on. I don't have my own bedroom.) | |

| Open Question: Cybersecurity Measures Will Mandate Government 'ID Tokens' To Use The Internet? | Top |
| The move to shut down and regulate the Internet under a new government-controlled system has accelerated into high gear with the announcement that the government's cybersecurity strategy revolves around issuing Internet users with ID "tokens" without which they will not be able to visit websites, the latest salvo against web freedom which, in combination with Senator Joe Lieberman's 'kill switch' bill, will serve to eviscerate the free Internet as we know it. Under the guise of "cybersecurity," the government is moving to discredit and shut down the existing Internet infrastructure in the pursuit of a new, centralized, regulated world wide web.....where you can only go where the "State" say you can go. Do you agree? If you "don't" agree, and it actually comes into being,...what would you do about it? It is important to stress that "cybersecurity" has nothing to do with protecting the infrastructure of the United States and everything to do with taking over the Internet. Cybersecurity is about attacking non-compliant Internet users, not defending against hackers. Non-compliance equates as using the Internet as a political tool to dissent against the policies of the government otherwise known as "Freedom of speech & Freedom of Expression". Having already tried and failed in flooding the web with paid disinformation agents, http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=15287 the government is now turning to its only recourse, exploiting hyped or outright staged cyberattacks as an excuse through which to implement an Internet 2 system controlled and regulated solely by the authorities. http://bostonreview.net/BR34.4/morozov.php Only with this government-issued "token" will Internet users be allowed to "able to move from website to website," a system not too far removed from what China proposed and rejected for being too authoritarian. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/f416e31e-80af-11df-be5a-00144feabdc0.html Your thoughts,...? | |

| Resolved Question: Why do some nations, especially Russia always express surprised innocence when they are caught Spying.? | Top |
| Such a bully boy approach is embarrassingly childish. Russia's denial is normally by way of a declaration of aggressive indignation with the obvious aim to intimidate their accusers into not making too big a fuss and therefore avoid souring relations with a powerful country. All nations do not spy.Nations such as Papua New Guinea,Eritrea, Benin, Nauru, the Pepublic of Ireland to name but a few soverign countries, are not famous, or infamous for their international spying activities. Thanks for the replies. It's quality that counts, not quanity. I am somewhat surprised though that the question seems to have stirred up an anti-American response which is somewhat divorced from the thrust and theme of what I had asked. I have no idea what the C.I.A, do. Whatever they may or may not do is in the best interests of their country. In the,'proverbial' murky world in which they operate I have no doubt that their techniques are, on occasions, necessarily unorthodox. However my question was really directed at the pointless denial of the bolshy Russians and indeed other nations who, perhaps quite rightly, assume that the rest of the, 'non espionage' world are as naive as one of the respondents accused me of being. Of course the ten spies caught were Russian agents and to deny it is naivety in the extreme. Also, to try to introduce a red herring about the C.I.A, is contemptable. | |
| Open Question: Should we praise Sen. Robert C. Byrd? | Top |
| Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the longest-serving senator in U.S. history, died on Monday at the age of 92. He rose from rural poverty to the pinnacle of power. He served in the Senate for nearly a quarter of the United States history, working with eleven American presidents, and casting votes in the Senate before the current president was even born. Testimonials to Sen. Robert C. Byrd, the longest serving member of the Senate, who has died at the age of 92: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100628/ap_on_go_co/us_byrd_remembrances However,....there are "other" reports about Senator Byrd which many of you might not be aware of. A book by one of the many recent people who claim to have been brainwashed by the US government, In this case Ms. O'Brien says she is a survivor of the CIA's MK-Ultra Project Monarch mind control operation. She claims to have been brain-washed in a CIA project controlled by Sen. Robert C. Byrd and to have been a sex slave to American Presidents beginning with Gerard Ford. http://www.whale.to/b/byrd_q.html I for one do not believe anything, however I remain open minded to the "possibility" that there is indeed a "cult" of evil doers who hold high office not only in the United States, but in many other Countries also. I am not accusing anyone of anything here, I am merely pointing out some stories and allegations which you may not have been aware of.... Your thoughts on this are welcome, whatever the viewpoint is. Please let it be known, I do not seek to speak ill of the Dead,...heaven forbid. I am simply asking for your opinion on what some have accused him of. | |
