'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.'

Know any potential sense offenders? Oh right. ALL OF YOU.

where have you been? the UK has steadily been regulating themselves into a 1984/nanny-state for the last few years.

oh yeah, yer a literate, male that loves to set things on fire. yer one abused animal short of bein' a sociopath.

I don't think that abused animals are necessary conditions for sociopathy.

sorry, the animal cruelty is a warning sign (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacDonald_Triad) of a future serial killer

Uh huh. And see, when people ask me why I think it's a bad idea to be moving toward a more socialistic government system, this is why. Because if I'm willingly giving up control of everything to my government, they can do shit like this.

Not that I'm overly pleased with our government either, but at least they can't (I hope) subject us to this.

I hope, too.

sense offender.... who me??

*lights something on fire*
but i wont tell you what it is.
you'll have to guess.


there might be cookies in it for the correct answer.

I'm going to guess an old text book, or, perhaps, some notes.

Incense?

[raidingparty.livejournal.com]

My second guess would involve the stove wit cookies int, but I don't think people do much lighting of stoves nowadays. Unless you're jumping a level.

mostly i just want an excuse to give people food.

Awesome.

How could you possibly win?

If you're "odd"--then wouldn't you fit the profile of a criminal? Especially one of those creepy serial killers?

And what if you're not at all "odd"? What if you've always been perfectly a normal, friendly, hard-working goody two shoes? Well, then maybe you're about to snap and go postal.

I don't think you can predict what anyone is going to do--at least not with our current level of technology and understanding of human physiology.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Precisely my problem: We don't know nearly the amount about human behaviour as we like to think we do, and most of the governmental implimentations of what we do have is ham-handed and fumbling, at best.

This worries me.
