That's terrifying, I'm sorry that happened to you. Something I have done (accidentally at first, now on purpose) is to not respond to messages (personal) quickly, most of the time. People adjust to that rather fast and stop worryi

I really don't think that's true, or at least, it's not as clear-cut as you are asserting. There is at least healthy debate about the issue and it is definitely not a closed case of "local emissions don't determine

I watched the live BBC coverage of the London 2011 riots. Their live coverage was so completely out of touch and basically wrong it was disillusioning. Reporters and anchors were completely unwilling to discuss the issue as a whole - each f
