Then of course there is this: FLEXIBLE TRUTH and JUVENILE COURTS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perjury
....Statements of interpretation of fact are not perjury because people often make inaccurate statements unwittingly and not deliberately. Individuals may have honest but mistaken beliefs about certain facts or their recollection may be inaccurate. Like most other crimes in the common law system, to be convicted of perjury you have to have had the intention (the mens rea) to commit the act, and to have actually committed the act (the actus reus).... I'm very proud to have found some information that might well get you off the hook with your testimony to the U.S.Congress, Greg. And should you find yourself in any problem, feel free to refer to me as to your frequent habit of making innacurate statement...though I'm not sure I could testify they are 'unwittingly.' You do seem to have a great many mistaken beliefs, but again, I'm not sure they are honest mistakes. .....hmmmm....maybe you best not call on me for help, unless your life is in danger. 0:- |

FLEXIBLE TRUTH and JUVENILE COURTS
Kane wrote
Now, have you seen someone from CPS make verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath in a court of law? Yes, several times. If so, why have you not provided the verifiable evidence and had them charged with perjury? When a public defender sees such blatant proof of this and offers no help, is that a failure to provide a vigorous defense? When a GAL sees this but sweeps it under the rug, is that a failure to represent? When a Judge sees this and does nothing, isn't that malfeasance? Waiting for the court to do it? Is any court in the land allowed to ignore such blatant violations of people's rights? Isn't that sort of thing the FIRST DUTY of any court in this land? |

Does it meet the definition I provided? If so, why have you not provided the verifiable evidence and had them charged with perjury? When a public defender sees such blatant proof of this and offers no help, is that a failure to provide a vigorous defense? In other words, you didn't prefer a charge of perjury. Do you expect others to do your "trial" "vicariously" for you? When a GAL sees this but sweeps it under the rug, is that a failure to represent? I don't know. Depends on if the GAL is conversant with the law and knows it's not going to meet the requirement and definition to bring charges. When a Judge sees this and does nothing, isn't that malfeasance? Nope. Waiting for the court to do it? Is any court in the land allowed to ignore such blatant violations of people's rights? No. Now please state the rights that are being violated. Isn't that sort of thing the FIRST DUTY of any court in this land? No. You have a deep fundamental ignorance of the law, and laws, Greg. If you see a crime being committed and YOU wish to have that crime stopped then YOU have to either bring charges yourself, or bring it specifically to the attention of the authorties. They may or may not act on your alert. A great deal depends, as Ron pointed out to you, on whether or not the prosecutor thinks this is a 'crime' worth spending time on. So in the end, only YOU can have someone charged and must follow through yourself. You know, for someone with such a profound distrust of authority you have a very high expectation of authority to act in your behalf. Why is that I wonder. Now please, try answering some of the question put to you, like the one about show what rights of the parent's are being violated routinely in CPS cases that go to court. Or are you planning to never answer a question that you know you have not facts for, but still continue to harp on the same claims you've never supported? 0:- |

Even the dictionaries make plain that the question of "truth" and "fact" in the law is open to interpretation there. Otherwise we wouldn't need judges and juries. Just pop the case "facts" and the "truth" into a logical program for analysis and comparison with known facts and truth and out would come the finding. " 4. something said to be true or supposed to have happened: The facts given by the witness are highly questionable." Yet they call them "facts." For instance, the truth of this statement, an example from below is in dispute. Rome experienced many setbacks in it's colonies...stretched far too thinly. There is some evidence showing that lead was a popular cooking and eating utensil manufacturing metal. So this "truth" is highly questionable: "12. in truth, in reality; in fact; actually: In truth, moral decay hastened the decline of the Roman Empire." It's an opinion. A philosophical question, when using the word "moral" to define a 'truth.' It is not factual. So not synonymous as claimed. Your point about dictionaries and philosophy is well taken, even if dictionaries do include philosophical considerations. We are left with this question, from the subject field, Gloating or Ill Wishes vs Threats of Violence. The argument of those that oppose me on this are based on the situation now...and I have made it clear I am discussing outcomes. That is, should violence be visited on me or mine, or Donald Fisher and his, then the sentiments being expressed about "CPS Caseworkers" of which I am accused of being, will take on an entirely new light. I posted a quote, with link, that made plain "connotation" was arguable as a libel or slander charge definition...even if true in fact. Fundamental mindsets have a difficult time wrapping themselves, apparently, around time and circumstances having an effect on charges and claims. I find this amusing. Doan will continue to split hairs, rather than deal with the real issue. Expressing desires for others injury or death mean nothing. Until of course there is an injury or death. That is the only reason I keep track of the babbling of I'll wishes and "gloating" over killings of caseworkers. Since I'm accuse of being one, though I am not, nor have I ever been, being labeled as such, then reading from the same people gloating over the deaths of caseworkers, and clearly expressed desire for me personally to be killed I think I'm perfectly logical in my actions. Would you ignore such statements and not consider them threats? If I said that I hate, despise, and wished to see killed all electronic information systems administrators and ID Doan as one, should he not take notice and keep track of my statements just in case? Would it be logical for him to assume I meant him no harm? The logic of these children is precious.

[Origin: 1400–50; L synÅ?nymum Gk synnymon, n. use of neut. of synnymos /ËŒsɪnəˈnɪmɪti/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sin-uh-nim-i-tee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation, noun Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.0.1) Based on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2006. It is not exact...as in, from the above: 1.a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the language, as joyful, elated, glad. Notice the 'nearly?' That would be both Ron's point, and mine, I believe. Truth and fact are not always the "same" even if they are 'synonymous.' 'Nearly' says your argument won't cut it. Q.E.D. 0:-] Your point about dictionaries and philosophy is well taken, even if dictionaries do include philosophical considerations. We are left with this question, from the subject field, Gloating or Ill Wishes vs Threats of Violence. The argument of those that oppose me on this are based on the situation now...and I have made it clear I am discussing outcomes. That is, should violence be visited on me or mine, or Donald Fisher and his, then the sentiments being expressed about "CPS Caseworkers" of which I am accused of being, will take on an entirely new light. I posted a quote, with link, that made plain "connotation" was arguable as a libel or slander charge definition...even if true in fact. Fundamental mindsets have a difficult time wrapping themselves, apparently, around time and circumstances having an effect on charges and claims. I find this amusing. Doan will continue to split hairs, rather than deal with the real issue. Expressing desires for others injury or death mean nothing. Until of course there is an injury or death. That is the only reason I keep track of the babbling of I'll wishes and "gloating" over killings of caseworkers. Since I'm accuse of being one, though I am not, nor have I ever been, being labeled as such, then reading from the same people gloating over the deaths of caseworkers, and clearly expressed desire for me personally to be killed I think I'm perfectly logical in my actions. Would you ignore such statements and not consider them threats? If I said that I hate, despise, and wished to see killed all electronic information systems administrators and ID Doan as one, should he not take notice and keep track of my statements just in case? Would it be logical for him to assume I meant him no harm? The logic of these children is precious. Kane Ron For instance, we see 'truth' mentioned in the definition of 'fact" below: fact /fækt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[fakt] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation â?"noun 1. something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact. 2. something known to exist or to have happened: Space travel is now a fact. 3. a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: Scientists gather facts about plant growth. 4. something said to be true or supposed to have happened: The facts given by the witness are highly questionable. But in looking at a list of definitions of "truth" one finds departures from your claim in fact. truth /truθ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[trooth] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation, â?"noun, plural truths /truðz, truθs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[troothz, trooths] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation. 1. the true or actual state of a matter: He tried to find out the truth. 2. conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement. |
