I’m pretty sure that Rosencrantz is perfectly capable of making up his own mind on how to conduct himself in this forum and which posts to respond to. He doesn’t need you or anyone else to advise him especially as you don’t even follow your own advice.

Isn’t it time that you stopped wandering aimlessly from side to side and joined the real adult world?

I dont know on this one! This gov't cannot be trusted to look after a couple of CD's of data let alone Info on 60 million people. Having a DNA database will not prevent crime.

I'm not sure either. At first I thought it was a good idea, the police caught the Suffolk Strangler from DNA that they had on record.....but after reading other comments on here about mix ups and lost info etc, I'm not sure now.

If you class yourself as part of the adult world then I would rather stay out thankyou.

Because mistakes are made by the police and such with DNA, I would rather not be put on a database. Whilst they are free to look at my DNA if I am a suspect of something, I do not want to be accused of something accidently when they have no other reason to believe me as a criminal.

It's an odd one, I don't think it will cut down crime so it can't really be justified on that merit, yet I can see the benefits it will obviously have in some situations.

I'm not too sure what I think on the matter really.
