Most criminals and junkies are bad parents and knowingly or unwittingly teach their traits through learned behaviour. Having children is a privilege. If they have committed crimes against society then this privilege should be withdrawn and any existing children removed and brought up properly in decent loving homes. Ethnic cleansing is a completely different thing which I totally abhor.
Given that most criminals will spend most of their lifes in prison anyway they are hardly role models or qualify as good parents. This idea is not so much to punish as to protect these vulnerable children.

I agree in theory Big Jim

I am not saying you are wrong, I am saying that there are groups over here that would say "because a majority of those people in these United States who are criminals are also minorities, we also see this as ethnic cleansing. "Taking away any persons right to further their family name is unconscionable". This is exactly why this idea would not fly over here, but that's not to say it doesn't have merrit.

You guys are too funny.

Jim, you're a good man.
Derek, you are too.


Did you know if you're not logged in, you can't see the avatars? or post on the Shoutbox? Man, that's no fun.
Dunno why so many people are invisible.

Oh and here's a random bit of trivia.
Guy named Johnny Depp agreed to be my friend on MySpace.

What are your bets it's the "real" Johnny Depp?
His profile is set to private until he adds you.
It looks fairly official though. Movie trailers, accurate bio.
He has 26,000 friends.

Paul McCartney is my friend now too.
He has over 1,000,000 friends.

And this is all ridiculous and pointless information...
I'm going back to balancing the checkbook now, but thanks, I needed a break!

Boy linda that was Random

But you never know, could be the real Johny Depp. Seems like a nice enough guy, although I was a little disconcerted with his performance on "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" . I thought Gene Wilder did a much better job. Depp's peformance reminded me too much of what people think of Michael Jackson these days.
