Complete rubbish. Royals, and other celebs bring publicity. That bring money. Money solved problems. Take a silly frog charity. Money increases and more frogs are saved. Structure and infrastructure doesn't help frogs much. Sorry peopl

Sorry, no. Besides, the councilors set the policy that council are supposed to follow. If the council is rubbish, its the fault of the councilors. That is supposed to be the point of electing them, or booting them.

twic, for some reason I cant see a reply link, so... I knew it was some sort of joke, didn't realize it was about Icke. Oh, lizards!!!! Of course. I really should have seen that!!! Oh well. Even so, I wanted to , er, "approve&quot

Well, they are your parents and its their house, and you have to obey their rules. So, um, tough. When you are grown up, have your own place, set your own rules. And lets see in 20 years how you parent your own kids.... I know what you are

My local council are damned awful. Dont want a larger version of that.

Sure, but mucking around with software, on each machine, is a lot harder and more daunting than a simple tick box at the router. Harder to manage too. Easier for the kids to get round or just destroy. Most concerned families are not geeks.

I respect that such small charities are bigged up by royals. Who else would? They are important in a small way. Big celebs and politicians go for the big charities, knowing they will get great PR, and they do great.... Both the charities an

Dunno about mobiles, TBH, But I 100% agree that it is surprising that the likes of Virgin (my ISP) haven't just added a tick box in their router setup. Even it its not perfect, its something they could point to, to shut up the nannies.

I value the non political aspect of our monarchy. It is cheap, has only one power for extreme use only and that is to dissolve parliament, and is not part of the nasty political punch up. I value the stability and depth, leading to a decent

Heh, I'm massively pro Royal. But I really don't give a toss about tittle tattle stories like babies, etc. Even I would click "republican".

Sorry to be cynical and grumpy, but..... Careful folks, come high karma folks here will accuses you of trite anarchy for these comments.

Um could have this wrong, but as far as I am aware, most ISP are against this filtering. This came up a few weeks ago, and they basically said no. This is why now Camoron is banging on about threatening legislation to make them do it. That

I honestly have no problems wit this as long as the default is unfiltered, and any blocks and filters are opt in. No reason this cant be a tick box in the router. Just an option for parents if they want it. I have 6 kids. My two daughters h

Oh man. Never thought about that before. I think you might have a point. Like a TV licence for a MAC address. What a revenue earner. Evil, but logical, and possible. FFS, keep this idea quiet.

Indeed. Back in the day we had paper rounds. The best ones were were some "old perv" got a monthly porn mag with his paper. On that day, lads would be last for school, due to exhaustion...

By playing the "children" card. And on opposing will be said to support child abuse.

by alan_cx 13y ago
One of the biggest abuses of children is the use of them to enforce a judgmental sense of morality on adults.

It does look great, but Im not sure my hands and fingers would fare well if the edges got chipped. A chipped edge would not be enough to pay lots to get it fixed, where as a shattered screen is. As a result, I see minor injury being a bit o

Like the JKR case, neither of us know enough to comment. Least of all in this case the lawyers reasoning. We don't even know that the parole officer was correct. Its just an anecdote. We all "know" iffy examples. Doesn't

No builders, doctors, dentists, or car mechanics then? Your point is a criticism that can apply to any profession. No reason to target lawyers.

"Generally", I said. Authors have never been persecuted on mass for simply being authors. No one refuses jobs, housing, etc because one is an author. Gay people have. Hardly any one keeps being an author secret. Of course individ

How is a lawyer not trust worthy? I have never seen a case where a lawyer screws over a client. Never understood this business of saying lawyers cannot be trusted. If one means that a lawyer acting against one on behalf of another party can

I still understand "hacker" to mean someone who re-tasks something from one use to another. I dont see it as computer specific. Computer hackers are a subset of that. They access or attack systems via routes that were not designed

I would reply, but I don't care for the insults from some one with your karma weight. I'll probably run in to problems replying. Just know that I wouldn't insult you in the same way you have me.
