I was in a dilema about which airline to use for my unaccompanied 9 year old daughter for her upcoming equestrian competition. Thanks for letting me know that BA will fulfil my safety concerns adequately.

As for the paedo’s; well if only they allowed castration of serious or repeat offenders. It would make life so much easier for most of us; the deterent factor would certainly enforce self enforced retraint on anyone who harbours any untoward desires. And everyone would be able to sit wherever they liked without unnecessary suspicion.

The pseudo-pundit hauled in to answer the question said that, well, of course it wasn’t paedophilia, but that social workers would be able to make the appropriate professional judgment.

Why can’t such questions just be left to those involved, children and parents and friends? Since when have social workers acquired deeper insights into human nature than ordinary people?

Dear Technical Support,

18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from
DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without
any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts
between these two products and the only solution was
to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned
off. To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is
incompatible with several other applications, such as
LadsNightOut 31, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9.
Successive versions of GirlFriend proved no better.

I tried a shareware program, Slapper2.1, but it had
many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to
shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually, I
tried to run GirlFriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the
same time, only to discover that when these two
systems detected each other they caused severe damage
to my hardware.

I eventually upgraded to Fiancée 1.0, only to discover
that this product soon had to be upgraded further to
Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my
available resources, it does come bundled with
FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse2004.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife
1.0 could be very stable and costly to run. Any
mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife
1.0’s memory and could not be deleted. They then
resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about
them. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer
and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch
TurboStrop and Whinge. These latter products have no
Help files, and I have to try to guess what the
problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating
regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new
attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be
reinstalled every other week. Also, when Wife 1.0
attaches itself to my Saab 93 Convertible hard drive,
it often crashes. Wife 1.0 also comes with an
irritating pop-up called MotherInLaw, which can’t be
turned off.

Recently I’ve been tempted to install Mistress 2003,
but there could be problems. A friend of mine has
alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects
Mistress 2003, it tends to delete all of your Money
before uninstalling itself. Help requested please?

Regards

A moderately decent bottle of wine to whomever can come up with the best female equivalent.

Entire families could be put into care in radical plan

1.00pm Saturday November 18, 2006

Dysfunctional families rife with drug and welfare dependency could be the taken into care as part of radical social welfare changes by the Government.

Intensive family therapy — which can include removing members from their home — is one option the Social Development Ministry is examining as it works to deal with dysfunctional homes , The Dominion Post reported today.

The proposal is understood to have been considered in the wake of the Kahui twins’ deaths.

Green MP Sue Bradford backs the approach, which is common in Sweden.

The entire family — not just the child — often went into care, usually in an apartment, where they had access to 24-hour support services, the newspaper reported.

At a parliamentary select committee this week Ms Bradford asked Social Development Ministry chief executive Peter Hughes whether consideration had been given to the approach here.

Mr Hughes said the Government was carrying out a pilot programme working with dysfunctional families and, after that, “we may need to use an intensive family therapy approach”.

A Social Development Ministry spokeswoman said intensive family therapy was a well-established technique, aimed at getting people to review their behaviour and the consequences of their actions.

It takes a village (so we’re told), to raise a child today.
It takes a village (we reply), to steal his heart away,
To purge old-fashioned do’s and don’ts from his enlightened mind,
To leave old fashioned Ma and Pa a hundred years behind.

It takes a village, verily, to teach some mother’s son,
To steal and gamble, smoke and swear, and vandalize for fun.
His mother didn’t teach him that! His father? No, not he.
It takes a village to corrupt, a village, verily.

It takes a village, this we know, to teach the maidens sweet,
To dress and act, to look and talk, like women of the street.
It takes a village, not a doubt, to teach a maiden mild,
To save the monkeys, owls, and whales, and kill her unborn child.

It takes a village public school, some subtle classroom chats,
To teach the little boys and girls to act like alley cats.
To teach them of the birds and bees, without morality,
To teach them what to do, and how, and tell them they are free.

It takes a village, yes indeed, to brainwash all the youth,
With notions and with fallacies, In place of sense and truth.
Abortion rights! The right to die! The rights of animals!
Creative spelling! Unisex! The rights of criminals!

It takes a village, well we know, to turn their minds away,
To stand for fancied “children’s rights”, and parents’ rights deny.
To honor human nature less, And trees and rivers more.
To sacrifice to Mother Earth, and Father God ignore.

“It takes a village,” so they say, but something more they mean.
United Nations. Washington. The liberal machine.
Society. The “Brave New World.” The socialistic scheme.
The global ideology. The New World Order dream!

I take your point, Boris, that the probability of an adult male chosen at random being a paedophile is minuscule. But now, consider how many adult males fly on BA. Hundreds of thousands per year – maybe even millions! – I really do not know, but a quick internet search should get us that information. Now, take this figure, and take the probability of said random chap being a paedophile (another quick internet search), and you should be able to work out the average number of paedophiles one may expect to be flying on BA. Small, perhaps, but not zero. (The formulas to calculate this should be in any good book on statistics.)

Now, imagine what would happen if there were to be one – yes, just one – case of a child being molested on a BA flight. Quite apart from the distress to the child in question, can you imagine the headlines? The law-suits? And is it really surprising that BA do what they can to prevent something like this happening? They are, like any other company, trying to make a few honest pennies, and one could hardly blame them if they take steps to avoid this sort of incident.
