I think it actually spawned from this case in the 80s. Bodine v Enterprise High School. The details are still hazy though. One side makes him out to be a burglar and the other makes him out to be a good natured kid trying to rearrange a light. Who knows? The story is close enough to at least consider that it is the root of that fable.ace_of_something said:
OT- Anything that adversely affects the lives of others.
Sexual Assault / Rape / Etc
I find it really hard to deal with this issue. As someone who has to work with the medical services on occasion, when you have to obtain a statement from a girl who has woken up being abused or has been assaulted, its the most horrible thing to watch.
It's even harder with the fact one of my best friends who I grew up with has been accused of sexual assault. He denies. She accuses. Who do you believe? Who else was there? No one.
It's a subject that is sensitive to most and I'm sure that there are hundreds of other crimes etc that are just as horrific or worse, but this is the one I've had to deal with on such a regular basis for work and now with my friends that its just... there are no words sometimes.

Christ, I have a list... I'll shorten it.
Illegal drivers - witnessed my best friend get killed by stoned joyriders when I was 11. Whether you shouldn't be driving at all, whether you're drunk or stoned. I hate you.
Unprovoked attacks - I suffer from agoraphobia because I got attacked by random yobs three times in three months, the last time they injured me pretty good and it put me off going outside so much. I can manage to get to work, even though it was on the way home from work I had the trouble, and I can make it to my parents and my sisters. But I don't go out to clubs, pubs or into town anymore.
They're my big two for personal reasons. I guess I should add blatant paedophilia*, murder and rape to that list although I've never been a victim (directly or indirectly) of any of them.
*I know paedophilia doesn't really need an explanation but for the record I'm referring to adults who are interested in children, not 17 year old lads getting dragged to court for having sexual contact with their 15 year old partner.

So I suppose Janet Reno and all the ATF officers are in jail for their genocide of the Branch Davidians? A law is pretty meaningless when the government can brazenly break it without penalty.pope_of_larry said:
Rwanda is an extremely rare case of extrajudicial genocide. 9 times out of 10 it is carried out by the State and agents of the state (police). And when one thinks of Genocide, one tends more to think of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Armenian genocide etc.lacktheknack said:

I also dislike petty crimes, the ones that usually go unpunished because no one is there to stop them... like urinating in a public place.
Pretty much anything involving cars being made more dangerous than they already are.
Drink/Drug driving of course, speeding and other forms of dangerous driving (racing, burnouts, generally being an idiot).. but I also consider not using indicators and not following the general road rules almost as bad.
I've hated it all my life since I've seen alot of accidents and death caused by people in all those categories.. since I've started learning to ride a scooter however its become even worse.
Most of what I see is caused by people not learning to drive properly in the first place.. liscenced, registered, driving instructors should be a requirement.. parents and friends just pass on their bad habits.

Just a small point but pedophilia itself isn't actually a crime, molesting children or watching child pornography is. It is possible to be a pedophile without actually commiting a crime.Anjel said:
OT: Not much in particular, though those who pirate games are in my opinion selfish.
The fact that sometimes for defending your home with a weapon from robbery or assault can get you into more trouble than the criminal. Even if you didn't shoot anyone.
Haha, might seem like a good idea in theory but in practice it would prevent non-offending pedophiles getting therapy to reduce the chance of them abusing kids, and would be virtually impossible to convict someone of unless someone invents a mind-reading machine ;-)Anjel said:
If you live in the united states MOST states the age of consent is 16... just saying. However, there are a number of websites that explain the consent ages in various regions. My state for example it's 'age 16' unless the elder party is under 20 than it's "as long as they aren't more than 4 years younger than you"ninjastovall0 said:
It sounds reasonable and all but it actually makes things more complicated and tricky to prosecute when the need does actually arise.
