What's the latest in people's lives?

[IanKennedy]

Thanks everyone, as I said it couldn't have been better.

[Tsukiyumi]

Sorry to hear it, Ian.

Not the way I'd prefer to die, but it was clearly best for your wife and her family.

[Praeothmin]

My condoleances Ian.
I know what it's like to lose someone to cancer.
My maternal Grand-mother died of cancer 20 years ago, with my mother at her side.
One of my uncles died 3 years ago of leukemia, with his entire family at his side.

[Vic]

You're in my thoughts Ian.

[IanKennedy]

Thanks again everyone.

Well, I just started working on my first essay on the Psychology of criminals, and it happens to be an essay on the press and the criminal, and how the press affects the criminal, positively and negatively. When I finish working on it I may post it up on here. It's really no new idea's, just how I happen to organize them is slightly different, and I'm not focusing on the criminal as much as I am the press. After the first crime is committed it becomes much more the press's reaction that affects a criminals behavior then anything else, at least from the reactions I have seen from research.

But yeah, I'm writing an essay on my free time, as well as working some stuff out for the Trek Sim, which I have to say, I love, and I suck at it.

So I'm looking up quotes from the Dresden Files novels to use as FB status's, and I found this from the most recent novel and thought of Seafort:

PS--Why, yes, I can in fact capitalize any words I desire. The language is English. I am English. Therefore mine is the opinion which matters, colonial heathen.

(and you to Reliant... to a lesser extent the Kennedy's as well)

Interesting. You should spend some time researching how difficult it is for people who have committed a felony to find any decent employment, and keep them from repeat offenses.

Short answer: it sucks. There are few prospects for felons to get out of the hole they've dug (by choice or not), and that only leads to more crimes.

[Nickswitz]

Oh, I was referring only to during their commission of crimes, as of yet I am only looking into serial behavior, so immediate repeat offenders, mostly looking into the incorporation of press into their crimes and how it affects; helps or hampers, the police in the investigation. And also think I will look into the future implications of this sensational reporting. Which although it is perfectly allowed, it should be very discouraged, especially naming the criminal something. , although eventually I feel looking into the difficulty of a convicted felon to find any work in comparison to a person with a clean sheet.

It's one of the few reasons I haven't decked anyone yet. I don't want to have a felony assault charge on my record. Makes it nearly impossible to get any work.

How well you know us, and how well you're learning. There's hope for you Yanks yet!

[Mikey]

Hooray! There's hope for us! Maybe one day we'll be able to win our independence against a British force that should have (by all rights) crushed our freedom fighters inexorably! Oh, wait...

Well then, maybe one day our former masters would actually come to depend on us to feed and equip them, as well as fight alongside them, in a World War or two! Oh, wait...

New pics of Uzume and myself up in the "Members photos" forum.

Can't wait for next month. Gonna be flying out to Utah to see my friend Kathy there.

Grilled a few 2-inch-thick center-cut pork chops as perfectly as could be. There is nothing like well-barbecued meat to satisfy one's inner carnivore (except for the handful of freshly-caught blue claws we got, which we steamed in beer, mustard, and Old Bay. )
