I think you've mistaken this newsgroup for a courtroom.

Dear God! Are you telling me Blake isn't Blake? Or that there IS NO BLAKE?
Go ahead and ruin my life now, and tell me there is no Easter Bunny.

You're probably the only one who noticed.

Well, maybe I shouldn't have but your straight line re the mick was
too, too irresistable... however, to be taken seriously a classy lady
such as yourself would have expressed her disdain with sincereity,
tactfully, and privately via email... all you needed to do was say

publically dare/challenge me, you can't humiliate me, no one can...
ahahahahahaha... you probably shouldn't participate in these inane Dr.

I suggest we both drop this matter.

Not true, dat. If he ever required a security clearance his
fingerprints are on file with some government agency.

Many other instances, also. I was fingerprinted when I was only 15,
by the county sheriff's dept, so I could sell door-to-door. Being
bonded is another reason to be printed. I'm sure there are many other
instances that have nothing to do with criminal activity.

Dunno either - but I suppose they just needed to make sure you *hadn't*
been convicted for a criminal offense before offering you the job...

I don't intend to <grin>

FWIW, in my neck of the woods all newborn infants are allocated a national
identity number which appears on their birth certificates once issued -
which also has their parents' full names and identity numbers thereon.
Once said individuals reach the age of 18 y/o and wish to apply for such
things as a drivers license, a passport, or open a normal bank account for
example, they have to apply for an "ID Book" which also reflects their
identity number, their full names, date of birth and a photograph of
themselves - and none of the aforementioned items are possible to obtain
without one.

Applying for an ID Book involves providing one's identity number listed on
one's birth certificate, having one's photos taken, filling in a bunch of
forms (of course) and handing them in at the relevant authority's offices.
While at said offices, a *full* set of finger prints is also taken from
the applicant before the application will be accepted for processing -
which go on record (for ever and ever, amen) for any of our law
enforcement agencies to access if and when deemed necessary.

Even if one has an ID Book another set of finger prints is taken by our
equivalent of the DMV when one applies for a drivers license and a
thumbprint as well as a photo of the applicant appears on the license card
once issued. Even if one is not a citizen, and merely a "permanent
resident" (who is allowed to live and work here and pay taxes), one has to
apply for an identity number/ID Book once permanent residence has been
granted.

I have to add that living without an ID Book in this country would be
somewhat inconvenient; if one wants to join a local library, one's ID Book
has to be produced. Purchasing a life insurance policy, or getting some
medical insurance - an ID Book is required for doing so. Need treatment in
an ER - an ID number of the patient is required for the paperwork
involved. Want to hire a few DVDs from a video store? Nothing doing unless
one produces said ID Book first time one does so. And don't even think
about buying a SIM card for a mobile phone, renting an apartment, getting
a personal loan, a loan to buy a car, or applying for a mortgage to buy a
home without one either. There's a whole bunch of other stuff here that
requires producing an ID Book, but I think you get my drift.

Heh. To date we can still fart in our bathrooms without an ID Book, but
one just never knows...

While I am sure that is true for the USA, things aren't quite the same

Ahem, there was nothing stopping you replying to me, privately via email
and pointing out what I said was just "too, too irresistible" either; it's
not like my email address is a big secret, after all.

Wasn't about humiliating you as that was not my intention - gawd knows you
have the skin of a rhinoceros, so what would be the point? I was just
pointing out how I felt, publicly, right here on Usenet same as you.

If you want to become a cop you're going to be fingerprinted, wanna
drive a school bus, fingerprinted, teacher, fingerprinted, clean the
school toilets, fingerprinted, everyone employed by a public school is
fingerprinted. Medical doctors are fingerprinted. Lawyers are
fingerprinted. Hospitals fingerprint all prospective employees. Most
large employers fingerprint prospective employees and conduct an
extensive background check, they also perform a physical exam
including drug testing and testing for venereal and other communicable
diseases, and record your DNA. Walmart fingerprints, and conducts
suprise drug tests... the most common reasons for dismissal is failing
a spot drug test and stealing, even eating a candy bar means instant
dismissal. For many occupations they won't hire anyone taking
particular Rx drugs. If you want to join the US military you're going
to be fingerprinted, and a whole lot more.

Well, that's very interesting to know and thanks for sharing. However all
it takes in this country to get your finger prints on record is to turn
18 y/o, regardless of your career choice.

Because Blake doesn't live in South Africa?

I live in the US, and I don't know if my fingerprints are on file, but I
know that a whole lot of organizations take them. Maybe they just check
them to see if you have a criminal record, or maybe they file them, I
don't know. In California, anyone who works for the state has their
fingerprints taken. Anyone who works in the schools, even in a
temporary or volunteer position, has their's taken. And when I got my
driver's license renewed, they took my thumb print, electronically.

Even Disney World takes one! I've never been fingerprinted for a
job except for when I needed to be bonded as a bank teller. I
don't find the idea of being fingerprinted as a matter of course
very appealing. What's next, DNA? I guess a lot more crimes
would be solved.

Yeah, whatever. She said unless he has been investigated his prints
wouldn't be on file. Then after being told there are many other ways *here*
in the US, said:

You mean "refute," but that was a really good try for a beginner!

At any rate, you're barking up the wrong tree calling Chester a bar hound.
You're much more likely to find him in a McDonald's PlayZone.

I figure he meant "repudiate", or some such. Still, neither word made
any sense. Stu was *agreeing* with Sheldon!

Maybe so, but apparently DNA tests are not foolproof either; read
somewhere that if one has had a bone marrow transplant, it can put quite a
spanner in the works, so to speak.

Ah, here's something about it:

Chillax, Boli - I was just using blake's mugshot as an example. If you
guys say it's blake and blake says he's blake - then I'll take your
collective word for it.

However, maybe I should have mentioned Steve Wertz' "original" mugshot
instead. He and Damsel were in cahoots and sent in a photo of Charlie
Manson for the mugshots page telling me it was Steve. Didn't realize
straight off who it was (after all I was only about 10 y/o when CM was
convicted) so I put it up - but I did remark that Steve looked "rather
mean" to Damsel before I found out I'd been "had". <laugh> So forgive me
for being somewhat skeptical about this stuff...

Yeah, I've seen some of those pics before and even used one of them for a
'collective' mugshot IIRC.

But tell me something, is his surname *really* Murphy?

Not to mention a tad embarrassing ;-) But I left it up there until Steve
sent in a *gen-u-wine* <cough, cough> mugshot of himself - which looks
like it was taken when he was 20-something y/o - if it's even him <more
chuckling>

Anywho, doesn't matter; some of the Trollops and/or Floozies in r.f.c.
were swooning over his alleged gen-u-wine mugshot at the time - and seeing
that I haven't had any irate "take-down" notices from anyone, anywhere to
date - there it stays <very evil grin>

she sent me a pic, and i'd say she's entirely boinkable. alas, it hasn't
happened.

but my usual response to such a thing is 'thank you' rather than mayhem.

That may well be, but so has the USA been a little, um, different.
Citizens of the USA claim to speak "English" but they spell certain words
differently; FFS it's "aluminium" not "aluminum".

Of course the fact that many citizens in the USA also think that
civilization stops at the USA's borders and therefore have never bothered
to apply for a passport goes quite a way towards explaining that attitude.

Yep, finally. Did six-pounds-of-cheese' worth of cheese straws. That
equates to 12-cups of flour and three-pounds of butter, too! Since I'd
overcooked the fifth batch, I had to redo a sixth (sigh). Batch equals
one-pound of cheese. Thank goodness for a Kitchenaid shredder
attachment and mixer, along with an electric Cuisinart cookie press!!
