Indiana cops arrest violent 6-year-old

Re: @voland

Guys,

How can we expect kids to behave in class and become model citizens when the teaching volunteers spell worse than 5 year olds.

Some kids just don't want to do the same things in school as others.

Little shits : maybe but these are the little shits that are disrupting my child's classes.

Chris Hainey

Don't just call the heads of...

Facebook, Twitter, Blackberry etc.

Get the likes of Nike, Adidas, etc in front of the Home Sec as well.

Their products were used during the riots by these little scallywags as well... Probably more efeectively than Social Media

Not sure, but I'm pretty sure there have been a few naff jokes over the years worthy of groaning complaint

Chris Hainey
Childcatcher

Point still missed...

From what I heard on this, no offensive words were ACTUALLY said, other than "Tory".

Simply implying a word or using suggestive innuendo is not, and never will be swearing.

It was said with humorous intent and worked. Obviously the Daily Hate and Fear reader has had their statutory sense of humour bypass completed and the overwhelming sense of moral outrage translplanted instead.

Also, the absurdity of your use of Shit in a post complaining about the shock value iof a word which was not said defies all logic.

This man deserves to be fired...

... out of a cannon in to the sun for the following:-

"However, Pat Shanahan, 787 program vice president, assured: "We're laser focused on what needs to be done to prepare for first flight. We will overcome this set of circumstances as we have others in the past, and we understand clearly what needs to be done moving forward."

laser focused AND moving forward in the same short blurb...

Why do people still insist on using these horrific buzzword phrases?

UK ramps up health über-database

Chris Hainey
Coat

Not too sure...

... how this is a good thing when viruses (we hope computer related) can wipe out 3 London hospitals for almost 2 weeks...

Although a nationwide database of medical records can only be a benefit if you fall ill away from home and need medical attention where your details and any specific medical issues you may have are easily accessible from a central database, we only have to wonder how long it is before some F*cktard from the NHS leaves a copy on a train somewhere for all of our ailments to be advertised on the internet for Phorm to spam us for better treatments from everything from pile ointments to cheaper opiate based painkillers for backpain...
