<span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">Why do we have laws? <span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">To stop people from doing bad and wrong things.

<span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">How do they help us to live better and more safely? <span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">Because they rule out the bad things so we can do good stuff.

<span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">What would life be like if we didn't have laws in society? <span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">It would be devastating there would be not enough stuff to go around.

<span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">What do you think a covenant is? <span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">My definition of a covenant is a sacred promise which is made with God.

<span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">Why were the 10 Commandments provided to the Jews at this time? <span style="color: #fa0f0f; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">The 10 Commandments were provided to the jews as new laws to follow in the new land of Israel.

Also Miss if that didnt make sense ill change it! <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 44px;">Loni Tafeuni:

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 29px;">Why do we have laws? We have laws so that our world can be a civilised world and just get along without anyone getting hurt.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 29px;">How do they help us to live better and more safely?

A covenant is an agreement that brings abouta relationship of commitmentbetween God andhis people. The Jewish faith is based on the biblical covenants made with Abraham, Moses, and David

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 150%; line-height: 29px;">Why were the 10 Commandments provided to the Jews at this time? <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">The 10 commandments were provided to the Jews at this time because God wanted them to obey the rules that God has sent for them. It was sent out to them at the time because God promised the promise land for the Hebrews. The 10 commandments also were instructions to the Jews, the Jews would listen to God while he spoke. The 10 commandments were and still is the way of life.

<span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Such vile criminals don't come much worse.

<span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">As one judge put it, Ferguson is a "cunning and scheming man not without <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> some intelligence a danger to children and foolish parents".

<span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Justice Derrington said Ferguson's chances of rehabilitation were zero when <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> sentencing him to 14 years in a Queensland jail in 1988.

<span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">The level of Ferguson's organisation in abducting his three young victims <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> from a Sydney home, flying them to Queensland and abusing them was as <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> breathtaking as it was horrific. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">The plan was hatched while Ferguson had been doing time in Long Bay jail. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">It was in jail that he met a fellow inmate who was the father of a girl, 6, and <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">two boys, aged seven and eight. Ferguson learned the children had already <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> been sexually abused and set out to find them on his release.

<span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">In July 1987, Ferguson, then a 40-year-old salesman, and his unemployed <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">23-year-old male lover Alexandria George Brookes, both of Lilyfield in <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Sydney, stayed at the children's uncle's house. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">They abducted the three children, got on a Brisbane-bound flight, took them <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> to a house in the suburb of Kedron and sexually abused each of the three children. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">The next night, Ferguson and Brookes took the kids to Brisbane's Ascot Motel, <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">where police found them. Ferguson was naked when detectives arrived, as <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> was the little girl, who was lying on a bed. Her brothers were sleep on another bed. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Ferguson immediately thought of himself and how to get out of the highly <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> incriminating situation. "I can help you," Ferguson told police. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">"Pornography. Kiddy porn, I can get you kiddy porn'," he said. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Later in court, while charged along with Brookes with numerous child sex offences <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> as well as committing acts of gross indecency with each other, Ferguson sunk to <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">another low when he denied committing the abuse. He claimed it was possible the <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">girl had been molested by her brother. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">The trauma of the children were not a factor for Ferguson, nor the nightmares the <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">court heard those little lives had suffered, nor the fact one of the boys wanted to <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> commit suicide due to his actions. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">In court it was revealed that his 1988 crimes had not been Ferguson's first offence <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">against children. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Justice Derrington said Ferguson's criminal history held "many convictions for <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> false pretences, various assaults on children and indecent assaults on females". <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Those offences are now stored in government files _ they occurred long before <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">digital archiving and cannot be readily traced. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">But it was reported in The Daily Telegraph in 1987 that Ferguson had appeared <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> in court while in Long Bay jail on remand for multiple fraud charges. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Ferguson complained to the court, in his unsuccessful bail application, that he <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">feared for his life in prison because fellow prisoners had spread word around that <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">he was a "rock spider" _ slang for a child molester. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">At the time, Ferguson was under protection at Long Bay from other prisoners but <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> the court was told he needed 24-hour-a-day confinement in a cell to protect him. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Ferguson's biggest supporter, prisoners' rights lobbyist and reformed armed <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> robber Brett Collins, would not comment on what the paedophile's previous <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">offences have been. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">He said it wasn't helpful, when Ferguson had admitted that "some of his behaviour <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> had been abhorrent" and had served jail time for it. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Mr Collins paints Ferguson as someone who is harmless, a "little old man" <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">who can barely see. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">"[He's got] 6 per cent vision in his good eye," Mr Collins said, adding that <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> Ferguson attended a Sydney school for the blind as a child. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">He also paints Ferguson as a victim of abuse himself, saying he had a <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">traumatic childhood and had been having ongoing counselling for his issues. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">But perhaps the person who sees himself most as a victim is Ferguson himself. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">It is true that he has been run out of no less than four suburbs in both Queensland <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> and NSW since being released from jail in 2004 for breaching child protection <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> laws by being caught on the grounds of Parramatta Public School.

<span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> But Ferguson has claimed he is no safer in jail, having been bashed seriously at <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> least seven times by fellow prisoners. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">According to another Queensland court judgment _ when Ferguson won $2250 in <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> victim's compensation from an Ipswich man who helped hound him out of town and <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> threatened to kill him_ Ferguson suffers from post traumatic stressdisorder. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">The judgment suggested the disorder may have been due to the prison bashings <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">and probably dated back to his childhood. The illness had been aggravated due to <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> the threatening behaviour of the general public towards him, wherever he goes. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Of the death threats Ferguson had received, the judgment stated: "He said that his <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">sleep was disturbed by initial <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;">and was broken throughout the night. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">"He had distressing dreams of being accosted and attacked in public. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">"His eating was disturbed and his weight fluctuated. He became fearful of going <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> out in public." <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Ferguson, who now calls himself Ray in a failed bid to gain anonymity, is unlikely <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> to ever experience any kind of freedom. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Legally, there are no charges outstanding against him after he was acquitted this year <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">in a Queensland court of molesting a young girl in her Dalby home in November 2005. <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">But neither will his victims, who will <span style="font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">the scares and memories for life. <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_JfktchTbUo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: Symbol,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">The native people, also known as the aboriginals, are grouped as outcasts because they were the native people of Australia, unlike the other people who came from England and various of other countries. For example, a native Aboriginal child goes to school in the city because his mother and father has died. He was adopted by another white family and now he has to go to school in the city. He is teased day after day at school because people classify him as being different, meaning an outcast. This is the definition of outcast.
