Re: A little restraint with tax payers money would havent gone amiss!

The fact that he had 'mental issues' doesn't necessarily make him mentally ill. It's not the same thing at all. If he'd been caught he might well have been declared sane. Maybe he had some legitimate problems, but it seems he had serious form in terms of beating the crap out of people and treating his children badly, and I don't think this is a straight case of 'man is mentally ill, not responsible for actions'. Not by any means. He was pretty good at blaming others for his own actions, that's for sure, and I'm sure he'd be pleased that others are now doing the same.

Eeeesh. It's all pretty nasty, and while I can almost understand the sympathy - almost - I'll never understand the admiration. There is absolutely nothing admirable about this man or what he did. Any of it.

Re: Bad, bad Cameron

Facebook has no more responsibility to uphold people's right to free speech than I do. You can agree or disagree with its decisions when it comes to the content it allows or doesn't allow, but you can't really do it on that basis. It's a privately-owned site.

Re: @AC

American names came from all over the place and were often altered/mangled along the way. It's interesting. My family name was a right jumble of consonants.

Anyway, the point is, it's not 'weird', it's quite normal, so shush.

Re: A lot of racists on here today

Please calm down, AC. As I'm sure many others are about to point out in less modulated tones, it may be childish and offensive but I'm not sure it qualifies as racism.

And now let's all debate as to the definition of race! Well, you can, I'm going home to pretend none of you exist.

Er, really though, keep it civil.

Re: Dear Messrs. Shyster & Partners: please buy a thesaurus.

What's wrong with 'vigorously'? If you're going to be a pedant, I suggest you go after the things that are actually wrong first. That'll keep you busy.

Re: More nonsense directly from the eBay Dept of Spin

I do wish you lot wouldn't compare non-fatal technological issues to actual horrific accidents. I understand how hyperbole works but y'know, sheesh. (See also: accusations of Nazism, comparisons of UK regime to that of Zimbabwe, etc etc.)

You mean 'sleight'. But that's not actually what is meant by 'sleight of hand'.
