there are probly only a handful of things that seriously wind me upreally make my blood boil
people blaming media - whether its marilyn manson, manhunt or some horror film - for acts of violence is probably my number one hate of all. i guess mainly cos i dont want my games and films and music taken away from me because some kid with serious mental problems thinks its a good idea to copy what they've seen or heard

As Prince Philip sensibly pointed out after the Dunblane massacre"Right, so some lunatic killed a load of children with a gun. If I were to kill a load of children with a cricket bat, would you ban cricket bats? Some people are just insane."

People use cars to do the same thing EVERY SODDING DAYAnd what about cigarettes? You don't see 'em banning those. And I wish they would - then I might have incentive to quit...

Nail gets head hit - news at 11It's still incredible - every time Yes Minister is repeated, it's still absolutely spot fucking on. Nothing changes. What I don't get is, if you're going to keep increasing tax on addictive substances, why not legalise heroine and tax it to shit? Result!

if they legalised hard and soft drugsthey could give information out on their effects and make it cheaper to buy, which would reduce crime, through people not commiting it to fund a habbit

Damn straightTalk to pretty much any Met police officer in an off-duty environment, and they'll be pro-legalisation. The dealers are the major problem, cut them out, no problem.

why does noone ever blame the parents EVER!!manhunt is an 18 rated game, not one of these pansie pegi suggested ratings but a proper bbfc red circle with a white 18 on it.
the kid that killed the other kid was 17, therefore
a) parents fault, shouldnt have bought it for him
or
b) shop assistants fault, shoulda I.D.'d him, i know its kinda hard these days to tell how old kids are but with games/films etc of this nature age checking should be considered
and thats only if u accept that it was the games fault
which i dont
they also never look at the kids background, i'll bet he was beaten/abused as a kid, a loner at school, or chemically inbalanced. or all of the above
rant over
for now
