Michael Jackson 'stockpiled child porn in a bid to seduce young boys at his Neverland ranch'. Officers searching Michael Jackson ’s Neverland Ranch found the singer had stockpiled hundred of images showing pornography, animal torture and S&M sex in a bid to seduce young boys, says a police report. When detectives raided the Billie Jean singer’s home in November 2003 as part of the child sex abuse investigation against him they found a trove of twisted photographs he had stashed. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/michael-jackson-stockpiled-child-porn-8245142
That comes as such a small surprise as almost not to register. Michael Jackson lived in a World so devoid of reality it's a wonder if he knew what day it was. When anything was open to him he could choose literally anything. Consequently, when things were a moral and legal barrier to him that became a curiosity. One could easily say he was an evil ****, but I'm not sure it's that simple. Not condoning it at all, of course. Child in an adult's body.
Can't really do that, her lawn her choice unfortunately. All you can do is complain to the council. Although I doagree it is annoying.
I'm not trying to start a row with my neighbour...she is a nice lady. I just think people should make things look nice by picking up litter on their property even if they didn't drop it....then the whole place would look better. She has picked it up now....she just did it a bit later than I would.
When I left for NZ back in the 1990's, GB was just about still a land of Public Information Films, which occasionally reminded us to Shut the Country Gate, or Keep Britain Tidy, or Take Your Litter Home with you if you can't find a proper litter bin, or any number of things about the Coastguard [MCA] or crossing the road, learning to swim, or doing the right thing to save someone's life, etc... That's all gone. Back in Blighty, when I flirted with becoming a teacher I did blocks of work in primary and secondary schools and the amount of everyday environmental education was encouraging. And the kids lapped it up. So where did that good education go.? How come we have so much sodding litter.? It matters just as much as the ice caps melting. Or is it too mundane.? I pick the stuff up on any walks I do on a weekly basis. Or I walk back from where my bike is kept and I'm picking up fistfuls of crisp packets, drink bottles, you name it, and then putting them in my bins. The dustmen must think my lifestyle is so unhealthy. I've thought about taking a bag. In fact, I will from now on. I'm going to try to encourage my fellow ramblers to do so too. I never ever thought I'd get to the age where I'd be saying there has been a significant erosion of moral, social and environmental responsibility. It sounds like an old person's message, but it isn't. I can't say that I sound like my parents because they wouldn't have even considered it. It was just there.
I take a carrier bag with me when I take the dog for his walk. We go over fields and through woods mainly but I am always picking up rubbish dropped, I think, by kids. The worst place is on a dead-end road right next to a bin. The thing that gets me is that a lot of people walk their dogs in the same area but nobody else seems to be bothered. As well as rubbish I get particularly annoyed by people leaving dog poo bags in the woods. What do they think is going to happen to it? It would be more eco friendly to not bag it at all as at least it would degrade. I remember that advert when I was a kid showing the damage rubbish does to wildlife why don't they still show them?
I cannot understand the mentality of people abandoning black bags...I've seen them on walls, hanging from fences and lobbed into trees. I would like the culprits to be put in stocks so we can lob dog poo at them.
Don't talk to me about litter I work in highways and was out doing a driven survey yesterday. We were driving up the stunningly beautiful Black Mountains when around a bend we come across 3 sacks of litter which the inquisitive sheep had torn into so is blowing all over the place. I almost cried. What the **** is wrong with people??!! It's lazy, selfish and costs the local authority tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds a year. If they're caught they should be made to litter-pick for 6 months. Gggrrrrr please log in to view this image
I walk through woods every day at lunch and the number of dog poo bags tied to branches is unbelievable, and these aren't only being left by young people as I don't think I've ever seen anyone under the age of 50 walking their dog through there the past year. Also the bins in Southampton are full of rats as I've found out recently. In fact, there are rats everywhere.
Glastonbury advising people not to travel if they haven't left yet. Queues moving at 2 miles every TEN hours!!!
I absolutely detest lazy people who litter. I live on the edge of a village and almost every weekend I have to remove fast food containers from the grass outside my house. I'm just as you enter the village and about 5 miles from a drive-through; just the right distance to have finished your burger! They just chick it out the window as they enter our village!!
My street isn't terrible, but I am the only house with a picket fence running the length of the front garden, so most of the litter blowing in the wind stops with me. I suppose this is fortunate as I will pick it up.
Reminds me of a festival on the Island a while back.....due to the rain ruining the parking, the roads were full....they couldn't unload the car ferries. The boats just sat there for hours with nothing moving. A friend had to send supplies to her daughter who was stuck in traffic a few miles from home for 7 hours.
I hate crowds, so never go anywhere that has lots of people (apart from a football match) or travel on a Bank Holiday. Glastonbury (or any festival) sounds like my idea of hell. I don't even go to things like The Old Gaffers or the Garlic Festival on the Island....too popular. God, I'm a miserable so and so
You and me both! Give me my lovely quiet house, the cat on my lap and a good book. That's my idea of a good time
I'm a grump with crowds too - my wife makes me avoid supermarkets on weekends cos get a bit tense and start saying the things to idiots that we all think but keep quiet. I can manage crowds for fun stuff, but there s a time limit of a few hours...after that I get a bit "stabby" as my wife calls it. Home is quiet though. We have a long standing joke about traffic problems which comes up the 4 times a year that there is a tractor working in the field behind my house.
