THOUGHT CRIME!

All children could be required to take a test to find out if they are a risk of becoming criminals, new government proposals unveiled today say.

The government plans to "establish universal checks throughout a child's development to help service providers to identify those most at risk of offending," the report says.

Surely you could just arrest anyone who attempts to buy a tracksuit and cut through the whole tangled process?

G'DAMN!

On an off-topic note:
It should be noted your song "What If?" is being included in my yearly CD Burn Sampler mongst friends and fambly, with a great deal of praise from those who had never heard it.

I really like that song, but as I listened to it in the shower this morn, I discovered something.

The intro. I suddenly realized that it resembles the intro to Michael Jackson's "Beat It."

To the point that I keep expecting Jacko to jump in 8 bars along and tell me that I was told not to trespass.

Don't worry, Cameron will scrap this plan.

the majority of inmates in American prisons have YY chromisomes, which has been linked to "hyper-male" traits and tendencies.

oddly, YY's do well in combat, as soldiers.

Maybe the world just became too civilized for people like me.

I'm a YY. I wonder if I'd pass their tests.

This in the same week that the Metro (source of all knowledge) warned me that doctors want to raise the age to purchase alcohol, and that there are plans to criminalise leaving school before 18.

Maybe we should just make being born illegal. Surveys show that all evil dictators were born, so it's probably a good idea.

the public school system i went to in mississippi did something like this. kids who were chronically "in trouble" would be taken out of the main school and sent to a.s.l. (alternative school location) which was pretty much a military day school without the actual military being involved (i believe there was rotc available). it didn't help many of the kids i knew who got sent there. most of them learned to be real deviants instead of just annoying the teachers. i know nothing of the uk school system, but beaucraps are the same everywhere. i can't imagine this testing idea being truly effective for helping a troubled child.

So... By your own laws, you are guilty of Trousercrime?

If we're going to go down that route, I'm more in support of the killing of chavs, "just to be sure"

It would not only be far more effective, but it would also keep the rest of us out of trouble.

ION: Did you know they're advertising a film called 'The last Mimzy' on TV at the moment?
