  Good News Y'all

  as of july 28, 2008 north carolina now has jessica's law!

  we were able to be there with mark lunsford to witness the signing of the bill into law.

  so now if a offender does anything there is a bite to the law.

  I don't like the fact that the government can decide to slap a monitoring device on whoever they so deem no matter how bad the crime or how many times it has been repeated. Yes children need to be protected but the answer isn't in monitoring people for the rest of their lives IMO. Has there been a dramatic shift in sex crimes in Florida?

  As per children rights, no one is arguing that it is ok for children to be molested. Of course they have rights. That argument is a moot point. What I am saying is that IMO monitoring criminals is not cost effective nor do I feel the government has any right to do it. As I pointed out before it isn't really working well in Florida.

  Also most molesters choose someone they know. The biggest issue lies with the parents guarding against such things. It's a complicated issue with no easy solutions I realize that, but I just feel the state and federal government are over reaching their authority just to make the public feel safe and not actually be safe.

  There really isn't much proof that monitoring helps. Much like tapping phone calls once criminals figure out what is going on all it does it make people on the outside feel safer. Just recently in the news a man was killed by a criminal who simply slipped his device off and guess what? No one was keeping watch. Our government doesn't and never will have the resources to do such tracking IMO (let alone my personal issues with privacy). That man probably could have raped and killed Jessica with this tracker on, all it would have done is give more evidence he did it. I'll concede perhaps this might have caused him to think twice, but IMO it would have happened either way. You aren't exactly thinking of consequences when you choose to murder and rape someone.

  Also I could be wrong but aren't they having major issues with this exact law in Florida? For example many child molesters are homeless and living under bridges so police are constantly having to round them up and moving them just for them to move right back.

  Would also like to add that in this great country no matter how evil or vile you are, you never lose your basic constitutional rights.

  Firstly every message board is just high school revisited. Secondly JW doctrine does not teach that Jesus went to India. Me wonders if this is just some JW ploy to try to "prove" JW's have the "truth".

  I didn't feel like reading all of this, but isn't this the same group that the "messiah" of the group killed his mother another person and then him self?

  I like the minimum sentence but I feel that electronic monitoring is not only useless but not cost effective and a violation of our right to privacy.

  Born in Texas raised in NC so I have kind of a weird twangy texan accent because of my parents. I also worked right around Dothan in Eufaula (spelling?) at a radio station in Bama. I'm white obviously. Also I think the south isn't quite as racist as the north at least not in North Carolina.

  conference call Saturday August 2 RUMBLINGS AT GILEAD!

  by kool aid man06 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a reliable source has informed us that the registrar of gilead was removed....laid off.

  is the watchtower school of gilead, where they train their missionaries, in the process of downsizing or perhaps dismantling.

  now that math.

  Hey Kool, is there a reason you do the conference call? I understand it is probably easier that way, but as I was saying you could do a real time pod cast using a DSL or Cable Broadband connection, I believe you can use VOIP (program such as Skype) while also recording. This would save your guest any charges they might incur from calling the line (this is of course unless you are calling them from the conference call).You would also avoid any delay or echo which seems to be apparent I am guessing this is because it is a VOIP line (just through a cable carrier) and it can't handle all the data coming in from listeners. If you streamed in real time over the web you could then just have listeners call in with questions while keeping your guest on the VOIP. Granted this would take work but it would be worth it. Since your recording as you go you could just do a simple convert in to mp3, quicktime etc.. and then host. Just a thought. I haven't researched this much but I'm pretty sure that is how podcasters are able to do real time with call in from home.
