Hi...
I'm a Spring lamb, here...I'm so new. I love security and I hate the way crime seeps into every street and into the lives of just about everybody, sooner or later. I hurt at the idea. I rage at the idea. I can't just sit around and not try to play some part in the pain people feel, after their brush with criminals who, let's face it, simply have no cares above their own greed and peer group credibility maintenance.
I have just started a new message board, but I don't want to name it, because that's, quite frankly, one of the rudest things I could do. But, if it turns out that folk are free to do so, would somebody let me know? It would help. It was inspired because of the above-mentioned rage and my own experiences with crime, on the receiving end, of course!
I can't fight off the feeling that Governments hold back those who would oppose crime far more than any other body of people. We're down here, in the streets and alleyways; we see what crime can do for our life-expectancies and our livelihoods. I feel as if nobody "up there" is even listening. They could - especially in the British Government, here - do with being forced to live our lives, out here, in the real world.
Things would change, for sure! Anyway...hello and...it's nice to be here.
Ian.

Welcome Ian
I live in the real world, not sure that I would agree with everything you have said, I don't think life is quite that black and white, but I do see your point

Hi...
I've just sat here, chuckling away, at the spam thingy!
Eloquent...whooooooo! I'm a commoner from the backstreet slums of Merseyside (yep...where the Beatles come from), so eloquent is quite the engagingly supreme accolade, and definitely a step up from what I've been called on plenty of other boards. I barely made it through two years of richly undeserved high school (they should never have expected me to study and pass exams once they'd shown me 400 of the prettiest girls I've ever seen: exams? What exams?) so I've found that the Internet is finally somewhere I can use the only subject I ever passed at! English Language!
You guys are friendly - I'll have to recollect how to handle people being nice to me, now! Sounds good to me!
I'll try to figure out how to add the link to my profile, now. What year is it?
Seriously...thanks for the welcome, good fellows!
Eloquent Ian.

Ian,
You do very well written posts,
I'm of the opinion that the goverment is not interested in the welfare of the public just interested in controling the public.
However it just might be me being a touch crackpot ?

MrHappy...
Crackpot gets a bad press, but never with me. If I woke up sane, tomorrow, the shock would drive me mad!
Also: Governments permit people to use elections, petitions and demonstrations to feel in control. We read pseudo-liberational lies, every day, in our newspapers and we see (such as with the BBC) artificial calmness and contentedness that attempts to brainwash us into feeling them, too, so that we won't object to quiet little backroom policy shifts and dark committee decision making that becomes law before we discover that they were being even merely discussed! That's why the British Government will never stop the requirement for a British citizen to have a £145.50 ($222) license to even own a TV, even if it cannot receive TV stations - they want control and they use the BBC as their grovelling voicebox.
Crackpottering will save us all, one day...all we must remember is: DON'T TRUST ANYBODY'S GOVERNMENT!

The licence is a receiving licence. If you have or get a TV that is unable to receive TV transmissions a licence is not required.
Playing videos from a video player, is ok, but not from a video recorder

Hi...
I'm simply posting, here, what I was told when I telephoned an enquiry, last year, just before my license fee was collected, by them, from the bank.
My questions included whether or not a non-functioning TV (therefore, one that is unable to receive TV signals) still commanded a license and the girl - and her supervisor - both said that just owning a TV brings a license fee. They asked if, at my last purchase of any TV, I was asked, by the shop's staff, what my postcode was, and I said yes to that. They then repeated that just owning a TV in my home meant that I had to have a license.
I am inclined to believe what you have told me here, though. Thanks for that.
Ian.
Hi...
Thanks for that. I just tried again and this is the message that I received...
"...
mySQL query error: INSERT INTO ibf_error_logs (`log_member`,`log_date`,`log_error`,`log_error_code`,`log_ip_address`,`log_request_uri`) VALUES(37583,1326664548,'You are not permitted to modify all or some of your profile information.
',1026,'212.183.140.14','/community/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core')
..."
I hope that this helps, in some way.
Ian.

DING!
Well, that seems to have done the trick! Thanks for you help.
Take a look at the brand new, shiny Crime board and let me know if you're happy with the link remaining in my profile. Some boards have been a touch sensitive about it, thinking it'll be crammed with spam, later. I come down on spam like the red hot anvil from Hell - it's like a mission-in-life, to me!
Thanks for everything, guys.

Oh...
Okay. What was the offending bit? It might apply everywhere, online, and it helps to know.
If, for any reason, you're unhappy with the link, I'd understand if you preferred to exclude it. I've owned, Adminned and Modded boards for around 10-14 hours a day, for 12 years, or so, and I know how careful you have to be. I'm housebound, so I have plenty of time on my hands.
Spam, after all, is a cancer in the Net.
(To be totally honest, it's such an cumbersome and ugly looking link, I'm glad that you did that!)
