But if one were to be charitable, and avoid falling into the trap of being equally churlish, one could argue that his exasperation was at the fact that the girls are actually harming themselves and their parents by giving away things for free which clearly cost them time and money. The whole point of the article is that he argues that taxpayers harm themselves and each other by tolerating an over-generous use of their finite resources.

The article even shows how they had adult supervision, so it's not like they were giving stuff away without consent.

He's trying to compare the situation with an economic system, when it's just plain charity. Probably the parents are teaching the children the virtue of sharing and charity.

There's only one way to look at the article, and that's one angry man trying to impose his ideals on others, and make a tenuous news story out of it.

Evidently, the parents are well off, to afford a nanny, so for them giving away Lemonade is not even noticed. There are some people with so much that they can afford to waste what to normal people seems excessive.

Yeah, the lesson here is that the wealthy are so out of touch with reality and waste resources while the rest of the world suffers the consequences.

There's a long list of things that don't match the expectations people have from TV and movies. Most rape victims (victims of violent crime in general) don't fight and struggle, and most rapists don't need to use too much real force, just the implied threat is enough. Most muggers/robbers aren't directly violent. People's reaction to trauma (loved one dying, house burning down, car accident etc) vary considerably.
The first thing we are built for is survival, and our survival instincts are often counter intuitive, something well articulated by this article.

This is a link post Online petitions? Well they always work.
But seriously - this one is worth a look. Rupert Murdoch is looking to up his stake in BSkyB to 100%, which will effectively turn it into a Fox News-esque mouthpiece for him and all his little wizards. This petition is to Vince Cable, and asks him for a full and fair investigation into the purchase rather than letting it go through on the nod, as it were.

Worth the 30 seconds of your life it will take to fill in, IMHO.

Kitten-ball says to sign it, anyhow.

There are laws in place to ensure SKY news has to, at least pretend, retain an impartiality.

As for Murdoch increasing his stake, he's the person who took HUGE finiancial risks to get the whole off the ground in the first place.
he's the one who invested massively in sports and movie rights, when everyone else was saying pay-tv would never work.
Why shouldn't he be able to reap the financial rewards of his huge financial investment.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of ANY corporate monolith. But i get the impression that some (Murdoch, Gates) get a rougher than others (Jobs, Schmidt)...

BBC News 24 is arm chewingly bad in many ways. The presenters can't seem to get anything insightful from any 'real people' they talk to (for example eyewitnesses) and the professional commentators get free reign with their agendas most of the time.

I get the impression some of their presenters live in a dormitory outback of the studio and never leave the building.

I'm not saying Sky is the shining beacon of news coverage but given the choice I'll always rather watch Sky. In practice I flip around to balance the news anyway.

which offers roughly 5% news and 95% 'celebs' whoring their wares with meaningless vox-pops on frankly pointless subjects. This morning they had some real filler material as their 'reporter' went to some dodgy estate and asked the general public if they would support the Germans in the World Cup. Fascinating stuff.

I find the only 'news' worth watching anymore is Newsnight. I long for the day when the UK gets its own Daily Show.

This is a normal post Yes for Newsnight.
I don't even include that as BBC News output. It's just a properly made programme that has news as it's topic.

This is a normal post "This would be a disaster."
...and it could open the door to biased news.

"If thousands of us e-mail Vince Cable, we can persuade him to make the right decision and oppose Murdoch’s master plan."

So basically you they want to do what they accuse Murdoch of doing, only they don't have their own media outlets so they will use social media outlets instead.

This is a normal post I hardly think ...
that using a social media campaign to encourage a democratically elected representative to use the tools of process available to him in order to arrive at an informed decision on the matter, equates to strongarming said process through sheer financial muscle, but your call.

And I think you're forgetting kitten-ball in all of this.

This is a normal post Yes encouraging the informed lawfully correct decision is great, and I'm all for it
but the biased pre-determined scare-tactics narrative being pushed to get people to act is a Fox News tactic no? One proven to work admittedly ;)

At the very least it's a little ironic.

P.S. Kittenball is straight out of the World of Goo
