Why did I go back to the bbc news website? Why?

Aaanyway, some lovely things I found. Firstly.

A story about a bastard who stabbed two teenagers to death. Now, this is a horrible thing but what I don't understand is why the news story seems to think that smoking cannabis attributed to his declining mental state. Hm. Now don't get me wrong here, smoking a vast amount of anything is bad for you in some ways but I doubt smoking a lot of cannabis, of all things, will provoke stabbity death.

Now, his "odd eating habits" and his parents divorce however may have contributed to this; "Medical experts for the defence told the jury that Palmer was in the first stages of schizophrenia but had not yet developed the full-blown disease. particularly because that's what the two boys teased him about before he attacked them.

I hate to think what they would have said if he used the internet or liked video games. Hoo-dear.

So, most people know that McJob is in the dictionary as, "An unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector." And do you know why? Because it's bloody accurate that's why. But noooo, McDs are pissed now. They want...wait let me check this is true. Oh god it is "McProspects" they want to change it to that.

Somehow, I don't see it happening.

Well I really don't know enough about the Muslim community to comment on what the veil means to some people but I don't think Banning it outright is going to solve anything.
