Man's life Over, Cops Decide He Watched Child Porn in First Class

The Arab Spring started with one Tunisian who set himself ablaze.

your heart is pure. (I won't say pure what, though.)

I must say that the story you linked to looks very odd to British eyes. Here we have laws about reporting of events which led to arrests. The civil law of defamation and the criminal law to do with prejudicing of trials. News stories are generally written to comply with these. They would use words like "alleged" and "suspected" and would not say straight out that he actually was watching child pornography, as the Washington Post story appears to do.

All such movements began with a few voices at first and then grow from there.

The only movement that you could inspire is a bowel movement.

Trust in government has 'suffered a severe breakdown'

Quote:

Governments have been blamed for the financial and political chaos of 2011.

In 17 of 25 countries surveyed governments are now trusted to do what is right by less than half those questioned.

Overall trust in government fell by nine percentage points to 43%.

Trust in business also fell, from 56% to 53%.

Although businesses saw less severe declines in trust, countries at the heart of the eurozone saw sharper decreases.

Businesses in Spain, France and Germany saw trust decline by 21, 20 and 18 percentage points respectively.

China was the only country to see a significant rise in trust in businesses, up from 61% to 71%.

Trusting 'me'

Richard Edelman, president and CEO of Edelman, said: "Business is now better placed than governments to lead the way out of the trust crisis".

"But the balance must change so that business is seen both as a force for good and an engine for profit."

Alongside these steep declines in trust in institutions such as governments or businesses, the survey highlights a dramatic switch in those whom people say they now trust.

A "person like me" is now one of the top three credible sources, said those surveyed, only trailing academics and technical experts.

Social networking, microblogging and content-sharing sites saw the most dramatic percentage rises as trusted sources of information, jumping by 88%, 86% and 75%.

Despite these gains, traditional media and online search engines are still the most trusted sources of information for general news and information, says the survey.

Edelman's 2012 trust Barometer was released in the run-up to this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, where it will be presented in more detail.

Edelman's online survey sampled 25,000 respondents among the general population, with an over-sample of 5,600 "informed" people from the upper end of society - college-educated, with household income in the top quarter - across 25 countries.

Going along with the tide is the erosion of our trust in Government to run a just justice system, as evidence of abuses of government power and dishonesty pile up. Firefly will of course maintain to her dying breath that I am making this all up.

This is very optimistic.

This is very optimistic.

Yep, which flies in the face of those who call me "chicken little".....

Regardless, by the turn of the next century,
our grandchildren (or theirs) will have degenerated into the Borg
and freedom will be lost forever into unlimited despotism. Its a horrible thing.

My wife was sexually abused for years by an older brother who later killed himself, my two girls were sexually abused by the brother of a babysitter whom we reported and helped to convict, I was for years active in the survivor community helping victims of childhood sexual abuse and their partners.....my focus is in ending the abuse and I am convinced that the way to get there is through freedom of erotic expression and the freedom of individuals to be sexual how ever they want with whom ever they want. I view the states effort in partnership with the feminists towards sexual repression to be not helpful. I am much more interested in ending the creation of victims than I am in saving victims or exalting victims, which seems to make me uncomprehensible to small minded hacks like you. I doubt that you have ever been sexually abused or known well anyone who has been, as you display no comprehension of the subject, all you know is the feminist party line that we see constantly distributed through the tax supported propaganda.

The freedom of erotic expression and the freedom of individuals to be sexual how ever they want with whom ever they want. And, viewing the states effort in partnership with the feminists towards sexual repression to be not helpful.

Chicken Little and Slobbery Bill would be completely unaffected emotionally

You're quite right, I've not been sexually abused, and neither have my children, because I put their safety above everything else. I am aware that victims of sexual abuse are quite easy to manipulate, which is probably why they're such an attractive proposition to a man like yourself.

I think you need to get rid of your anger and read when someone is speaking quite frankly.
