Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
Wall, fellers whose hands were hacked off for theft ain't really fully human anymore, iffen you know what I mean. Feller should be durn glad he wasn't just shot at sunrise and his wife and kiddies traded to the Red Injuns. That's justice in these here parts, ain't it? (Yank spits tobacco juice on the rough wooden floor of the saloon...)

Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
Sorry, but you lost your right to the title of 'human being' when you committed your crime!
...and you lost your position of having people rely on you when you failed a drug test while on probation!
Man up. Do the right thing for once. Give yourself up and get into rehab. Then MAYBE, you can win back the privilege if being a husband and father.

Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
What was that phrase from that old book some folks read?
something about the first person casting a stone being without sin or somesuch.
Not sure it said anything about being a non-human for doing something against laws that hadn't been invented then though.
Now I don't condone crime or criminals (I've today been told that the scumbag who smashed my car up whilst drunk will pay me back in compensation, it'll only take him 6 years to do so while I help pay him for being on the dole) but to suddenly become non-human is a bit far.
Where is the society where everyone takes responsibility for their own actions?
I want to move there.

Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
Yeah, well. I guess I'm still jet-lagged, suffering from a head cold and cellulitis! I'm taking so many pills that I rattle at the moment!
Not that it's any excuse.
I've always managed to stay clear of the law and sometimes when I skirted it, was prepared to take responsibility for my indiscretions. It annoys me some when people say "I'm reformed now" and then fail a drug test. No, you're not reformed - you got caught! So what's the answer? Flee the country? No, don't think so.
As for the 'cast the first stone' comment, I've never been convicted of a CIMT and spent several years in jail. In fact, apart from a visit as a kid, I've never even been in jail - or charged with anything more than speeding.
I'll go away and take a cool shower now.
