Imo, killing human beings is wrong, but I firmly believe that the justice system should be allowed to deny human rights to those who have committed crimes that are way beyond what is considered acceptable human behaviour. Therefore, executing non-human beings, whose guilt has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt (like Ian Huntley) is quite justified. This is what happens to animals who attack and maim/kill humans - why should the likes of Ian Huntley etc have any more rights than a vicious animal? Just because he walks on 2 legs and can talk? Just because he thinks and therefore he is??
There is a massive shortage of organ donors in this country, yet we have paedophiles, child-murderers and the like eating, drinking, enjoying tv etc all of which is paid for by our taxes which could be going in to healthcare, and much more for genuine, decent human beings. I say, put these animals down immediately after conviction and harvest their body parts for transplant. Use what crap is left for land-fill.

Imo the Archbishop of Canterbury is a clever man. The Sharia laws that he proposes to be adopted in the UK are those that are specific to the muslim people, such as non-observance of the Haj etc. Many, many muslims come here from other countries to escape their overt religious persecution. Making things as tough here as they are in their own crappy country of birth under Sharia law will hopefully have the effect of putting off more of them from coming here. I think that this is what the A of C is angling for. Well played sir!

The original point of this thread seems to me to be that of the times that children can watch tv. Imo the "watershed" is just another excuse for parents to avoid actually bringing up their children properly in favour of tv or the internet. Take the televisions and computers out of their bedrooms and encourage them to read suitable books. If you think a programme is unsuitable, then don't let them watch it. Simple as that.
Well, I am medically qualified and to be honest, there are many good ideas here on how to give up smoking and some bloody awful ones. Basically, the true cure all depends on what type of person you are. Stress will increase your blood pressure, but only temporarily so my advice would be to gather as much info as possible from the NHS Quit Smoking helpline and choose the options that you feel would be easiest on you mentally. Cold turkey isn't a good idea - your body has existing nicotine levels that will have to be brought down gradually, so patches, gum etc. Reduce alcohol and caffeine considerably. Hypnosis, if not completely effective, will also help your mental state to cope with the loss of nicotine. Giving up any addiction is not easy, so give yourself a goal - not a negative like "I might die", but a postive such as "I'll be able to buy those new thigh boots with the money I save in a month!"
Best of luck.

I don't see why they warrant a set of commemorative stamps - after they're doing a job that they chose to do, with all the risks it involves, which they get paid for. Whether they get paid enough is debatable, but many people have jobs which put their own lives/health at risk who get no recognition at all. And they don't kill other human beings for a living.
I've read something similar in the forums before, and I remember a phrase that sums me up completely.
"I am not a sheep, nor do I need a sheperd to guide me". Couldn't agree more. IMO, and some education, most religions were created as a system of law - a way of the strong controlling the weak and the intelligent dominating the stupid. I don't think much has changed.
Parents are legally and morally responsible for ensuring that their child is educated to accepted national standards. If there are parents that are refusing to allow their children "freedom of education" ie visiting a place worship of a different religion, then those parents should be prosecuted. However, RE is, and should remain a very minor part of the curriculum. It is little wonder that school-leavers today barely have the intelligence to operate the till at McDonalds. Religious education is just another one of those pointless subjects that are over-taught these days - teach it, but don't blow it up into the category of being an important subject. IMO it deserves the same learning time as pottery or latin dancing. If you're a teacher reading this - PLEASE teach the little b'stards how to count to ten and speak a little English. Then they, and we, might have a future.

I drive a 4x4 which is run on biodiesel, so less emissions than your average farting sheep. I don't use that fuel for it's low emissions, I use it because it's cheaper. I don't make any particular efforts to recycle or be "green", only if it's more convenient for me. Basically, I don't give a flying f*ck about future generations - this is my generation and I'll enjoy it as I see fit! Another war will soon come along and ruin any efforts made anyway.
We have similar problems with local little sh*ts, especially during the summer hols when they're bored. Here's one idea - take as good a photo as you can of the aforementioned little sh*t, and print it on posters with text like "Warning - this child has been witnessed breaking windows (and whatever other crimes he's committed) - If you see this child please phone police immediately, or Crimestoppers" and include the relevant telephone numbers. Then, (discreetly) post them through all local shop doors and pubs, paste them on bus-shelters etc - anywhere that they'll be seen. Cause him and his parents as much public embarressment as possible. I agree with you that the parents should be punished, but so should the child - severely, or he will grow up believing he can get away with anything.

But to lead to suicide? You gotta be pretty bluddy fed up to contemplate that. Accidental? Possibly, I'm sure insomnia can seriously affect your mental awareness.
