I’ll bring mine up to not trust mechanics, roofers, estate agents, taxi drivers, black people, er, Scottish, Irish, immigrants and clowns.
Good old Bigoted SN eh?
Nothing like letting people make up their own minds. Hitler youth started in a similar way....

The major problem is the attitude of the PC courts and the authorities to the whole business. This load of creeps running the country believe that criminals are not at fault because they probably had a dysfunctional upbringing and therefore they do not really deserve to be punished so much as "rehabilitated", even if they do know right from wrong. So now we are at the stage where the judiciary is being asked by the politicians not to give them gaol sentences but rather community sentences which they ignore anyway because they feel that is most likely to prevent re-offending they say! What a load of plonkers! By the same token, children are now becoming impossible to control in school or at home because they may not be subject to any kind of meaningful punishment so they are never taught the meaning of discipline etc. Todays reports of the treatment of teachers is horrifying.
On the other hand however, if you are a middle class law abiding person and make a small mistake, you will get hammered for it and the person who wronged you will almost certainly get away with it!
This reverse attitude to lawbreaking and the treatment of the ordinary public is typical of these clowns in charge and is leading to complete lack of cooperation by the general public with the police etc.
It does of course save money on building prisons in order to protect the public as we have seen of course. What a state these pratts have allowed the country to fall into!

I was being slightly tongue in cheek.
Godwins law - "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving ***** or Hitler approaches one."
Basically if you are going to bring in **** Germany, you better have a stupendously good reason for doing so.
From wikipedia
There are many corollaries to Godwin's law, some considered more canonical (by being adopted by Godwin himself)[2] than others invented later.[1] For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the ***** has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress.
You didn't' therefore you lose

Following an attempted break-in the best advice I had was:
"I feared for my* life" NOT I that thought my life was threatened. Big difference, apparently.
While this event still gives me the creeps, I believe there's 2 courses of action.
Funniest thing was that I greeted the miscreant with a telescopic truncheon (only slightly illegal ) only to be joined by the police sporting similar hardware.
^ restraints of choice
*"my" would include include immediate family and such.
Seriously, it'd be nice to think that if an uninvited individual strayed into my domain I'd have the right to defend what's mine, no questions.

- Detain the unwanted visitor risking the possibility of being charged with assault for having the cable ties^ too tight
- Take the f**cker out and plead "I feared for my* life".

How about The Economist?

Sweet, no?

I had one twit who cut me up on a roundabout when I had all the kids in the car! He was infront of me being VERy clever - giving me the finger and laughing and we were going the same way - i was in the scoob and he thought he was so clever - even waved goodbye to me as we pulled apart! I was raging - he was a bloody idiot and nearly wrote my car off with the kids in!
I double backed and saw the dead end road he took - watched him park up!
Came home, sent Gooner round there - low and behold - after a short while - the bloke pulled up in TESCO car park and ran off left his girlfriend there in the car, in the middle of the road and literally ran away!

But what if the other party is a ****, or rather, a neo-****..... (new, contemporary thinking and all that!)
Would the party that accused the **** of being a **** still lose the argument?
I wonder what the average thread length is on neo-**** forums? I imagine they must be very short! They'd all be having a good old laugh about the less than perfect races and people with dark hair, and one of them pops up and mentions Hitler, and the thread is finished..... All the fun is over.....

i had this conversation with my brother the other day when we were discussing how crap this country is getting.
We concluded that if some one broke in and threatened us the best course of action would be to kill them, then drive the body out to a lake somewhere, attach some bricks and dump it in.
That way you may avoid being prosecuted. if you dont do this and they so much as get a splinter while breaking in you may end up in prison.
so really killing the theiving scumbags is the only choice if you want to stay out of hmp hilton.
