"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

The day is not far off that I am going to be afraid to sneeze in public. I may sneeze in the wrong direction, this may cause someone huge trauma, mental and emotional problems, and then my ass goes to court, they sue the hell out of me, and we all go off and lead our sued filled lives. Am I getting over the top? I really wish I was. Unfortunately this is big business. No longer do we as a general public have to suffer in silence. We can sue for just about anything, whether they be physi...

A rapist who is serving life imprisonment has won over seven million on the lottery. Iorworth Hoare, who was prisoned in 1989 for life for the attempted rape of a 60 year old woman in the park. This was not the first rape he attempted. He was on day release when he took part in the lottery. Should we even have a problem with this? The guy served his time and he could be rehabilitated for all we know. You could argue this isn't fair. Someone who committed crimes, lowest of the low in ...

Racism in any form isn't something that sits well with me at all. You see it is all based on ignorance in my opinion. Ignorance of what we don't understand, ignorance of what is different.

A fight based on ignorance will not be a fight worth fighting. They are hate attacks on people. That's it. On innocent ...

Jacob was found dead at his home, and was pronounced dead after an ambulance crew failed to revive him. It later came out, he appeared to die of Asphyxiation. Andrew Wragg is current...

I shouldn't read newspapers, as they seem to only have the ability to make me mad, even the sports pages are doing it to me now! Before I start this blog let me just say, i am not against marriage, i've covered this subject before, but I'll say it again. Marriage is a beautiful thing between two people who love each other, who plan on being together till their dying days, who worship the ground each other walk on, who can't bare to be apart. Then yes marriage is a beautiful thing. It is e...

I don't really know how to start this blog, I don't consider myself to be very sympathetic, I have sympathy for people in situations beyond their control, I have sympathy for people in pain, people who suffer, but I find it very difficult to have sympathy for people who aren't willing to help themselves, who have options open to them but choose to live their life a certain way and then they aren't willing to live with the consequences, it really annoys me. It's like someone going out on a ni...
