As for the dog chasing its tail.. have you never seen a dog catch its tail?

They always look so pleasantly surprised.

:( that is so sad

there must be many many stories of people who survived terrible backgrounds to become successful adults. I did put up a couple of examples, but to be honest, we must all know of examples of families where one child ends up on the wrong side of the law, and families where terrible things happen but they still manage to come…[Read more]

OK, so maybe to use the term “evil” is the wrong expression. But I do believe that some people are born without the ability to feel empathy or compassion, and are never able to develop those things. Some of those can be described as psychopathic personalities. Pikey you are obvioulsy a proponent of nurture, rather than nature. I think it is…[Read more]

There are people who are just born evil and some who are mentally disturbed.. there is a fine line between being considered mentally ill and just plain evil, but that is for the psychiatrists to determine.

I have to say at this point that the psychiatrists and psychologists deciding on what should happen to people like this are often considered…[Read more]

Life is full of risks……..it takes courage to live in this world. I cannot understand why some people go to such great lengths to try and hurt others. I suppose it is because in the main they are not happy themselves.

I would rather go through life taking risks and reaching for experiences, than to close myself off from the world and wrap…[Read more]

It seems that these children are following the example of their adult role models. And being led astray by their peers too.

There is no easy answer, but society as a whole needs to start taking responsibility. And yes Pete, I think it is a matter of returning to old fashioned values. I suspect that will be seen as a retrograde step by a lot…[Read more]

There have been some good opinions expressed on this thread. When I read the newspaper today, my initial thoughts were (expecially on the back of the Doncaster boys) that may be should should re-open remand homes and borstals. They were closed down because they ran on corporal punishment and fear. They did scar young men, but they also saved a…[Read more]

That is apathetic of you Pete …… and pointless. Nobody is going to know that you didn’t vote because you disagree with the way all the parties behave. But if you vote for a party that DOES have policies that you agree with, then your vote will count.

There are lots of parties, you do not always have to vote either Labour or Tory.

And…[Read more]

I find it amusing that these vehicle manufacturers continue to produce these high speed engines knowing full well that to drive these machines at there peak is illegal…. i am not aware of any government agency that has even attempted to stem this….. :?

Maybe you should stand in the next general election and stem it yourself.

Your weekend sounds perfectly blissful.. .am so glad rubes :)

and you are welcome, always xxxx

Pete.. they can complain until the cows come home.. but the fact is that once a government is put into power by the voters, the only person who can disband that government is the Queen.

Therefore, people had better be sure who they want in power before they vote, and if they cannot be bothered to even go and vote, then more fool them. They have…[Read more]

You are straying from the point, which is that anthrax has been mixed with heroin and sold to people who have then died. To mix a deadly substance with heroin is just plain daft. and yes.. heroin is widely distributed in prison, by inmates and probably by prison officers.

A large percentage of crime is drug related! But to kill off your…[Read more]
