QUOTE (Rowley Birkin @ Jun 6 2012, 05:09 PM) daily mail reader alert. meanwhile in the real world... Aha. Giggle alerted. I feel that, yes it's probably true to a point. Perhaps a general sweeping statement is not very good to make. It's perhaps stereotypical, I have not read the British National Party manifesto, as I am only able to read things printed on 100% organic, hand embroidered paper due to a rare immune disease. I think a bit of a tangent was went off on one-d. It makes sense somehow. |

QUOTE (Strafin @ May 31 2012, 09:31 PM) I'm more inclined to just think that there wasn't a lot of thought at all on the part of the perpetrator. If you are suffering from some sort of mental illness then you probably wont be thinking straight. It seems a massive over reaction again though from the emergency services (racking up the overtime?), why close the roads down? What was he going to do apart from fall straight down? Maybe he had a plan, to fall onto a vehicle. Or had a large bag of flour, or cement dust. Could be a distraction. I suppose, in closing the road down, it would keep passers-by from, as they say, rubber-necking. And causing further accidents. |

I personally never understood the whole debating thing at school. I found it didn't really do much other than make a(the) student(s) feel like idiots. Being told to argue over a point you don't really care about or from a point of view you simply cannot relate to is not going to magically open your eyes to another side of the topic; it's just going to resent you more. It's very rare, rightly or wrongly that someone changes their viewpoint on something.
In an ideal world I agree with Andy Capp when he says people make up their minds without reading any sort of information about that topic but normally from a young age values are instilled from parents or friends.
See, I can do a serious post. I dislike being serious though. Makes you seem miserable.
This evening sounds perfectly acceptable if you're bored of the Salsa Dancing classes you take. Whoever goes to this event - don't invite me to your house for dinner. I feel I would fall asleep, face first in Spaghetti. Although it would be interesting to see who, from this forum, turns up, and how weedy their arguments would be in real life. I'd like to see someone in particular, to see what they're like. Here's a clue; I hope riddles are your forte. With the apostrophe above the e. Rhymes with Pandy, Dandy, and has something to with pudding and pie. |

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ May 29 2012, 11:39 PM) With bulimia, you don't have to go on a diet! I do believe, that is true. Although not from personal experience, I think it's not the right thing. Doesn't tend to work as expected. Some negative health benefits, or something. |
