It is funny because 'back door' is like a euphemism for bottom holes sometimes.

(Negative portrayal of men in the media in a non-sexual way as you're describing is irrelevant to the discussion - dumb as the discussion may be.)

Hahah it's funny because chocolate makes women go crazy it's true.

Re: Round 'em up and shoot them

Er, I think you're veering off the definition of 'objectify' there.

Incidentally I can open any jar you put in front of me. Not making a point. Just saying. I can.

Re: RE: Only

It's not 'end of'. It's standard practice. Official spokespeople are just official spokespeople. They don't need to be named. They're mouthpieces. I don't see why you're flapping your arms about it.

Still, I'd be a bit tetchy if my given name was 'dudeskinn'.

c. Throw money at cracking down on protests until someone dies, subsequent police investigation exonerates officers, etc etc.

I don't have more faith in him than you.

I'm still not sure what your point is, precisely. I was just taking issue with your insistence that the protestors are just a bunch of idiot kids, and pointing out that it's not that shocking that people are reacting in such a way to these pretty severe measures from the new Tory government that didn't actually get voted in in the first place. I don't know why you can't understand the reaction, but I expect you will in the end.

Diazepam is more fun than prozac, and only slightly more completely addictive.

Re: @Lib Dem HQ

You haven't read much about it, have you?

There are going to be more protests like this, and it doesn't surprise me at all. Ask your doctor for some diazepam.

Re: Re: @IanPotter

I mean, you have to define 'effectiveness'. I think the most you can expect is attention. It's like advertising in that way - it's not about getting people to like your stuff or agree with you, necessarily, it's about making your idea known and planting it in people's consciousness.

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: @IanPotter

To be fair a) I doubt very much the violence was planned as such, and b) the war protests were almost entirely peaceful and they weren't very effective at all. It's not really a matter of effectiveness. What makes an effective protest? Numbers and coverage and attention, I'd say. They rarely effect change on their own. That's not the point.

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: I agree

There certainly is an awful lot of mindlessness about this. Most people seem to switch their brains off the moment placard hits window, but just because a protest turns violent it doesn't necessarily negate the original point.

Facebook bug sin-bins female users

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: Facebook blocks female users

It's funny what he signed up specifically to say there because women talk a lot, which also means they post a lot on Facebook. So when this bug singled out the female users, the Facebook traffic dropped drastically.

That is what the commenter was saying with his joke. Very good!

Re: Seriously?

Right. I am now banning all 'who cares' comments. Why don't you go and take advantage of your lack of care by doing something else, rather than pointing out - ironically, to people who don't care whether you care or not - that you don't care?

Tory councillor arrested over 'stoning to death' tweet

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: Why no mention of Yasmin's reply

Bias? I thought we *were* a Tory site.

We hate everyone. I thought you knew that by now.

I believe the story was written before she responded, and it wasn't about her, in any case... but I don't think anyone's got any particular love for her. The guy said an appalling thing. I'm not sure at all that it was correct to arrest him for it but it was disgusting. But that's irrelevant - we just reported what happened.

I don't think you have a point. Please sit down.

Re: The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

You're confusing this guy with the other guy who is an extraordinary scumbag for suggesting someone be stoned but probably shouldn't have been arrested for it if only because it means people will be forced to defend him on free speech grounds, and no one likes having to defend scumbags.
