    In the '90's I was optimistic as a teen but now it's terror, airplanes crash into towers and the newscaster says the enemy's among us as bombs explode on the 30 bus; kill your middle class indecsion know is not the time for liberal thought.

    The Daily Mail says the enemy's among us taking our women and taking our jobs (and eating our swans), the reasonable fool is being drowned out by the non-stop baying, baying, baying for blood. Disparate and misinformed fear will keep us all in place.

    I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires and I watched TV and it formed me, there must be accountability.

    Paedophiles are the new witches. It'll be the Muslim's turn next.

    Yeah, it's TV's fault.

    Damn you, damn you all.

    Ben - besides whining about the OP asking for advice, and wishing nuclear devastation on Brummies, do you have anything positive to contribute?

    But when Muslim illegal immigrants go hunting paedophiles the Daily Mail implodes.

    Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
    Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
    Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
    Peasant 1: Burn them.
    Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
    Peasant 1: More witches.
    Peasant 2: Wood.
    Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
    Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
    Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
    Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
    Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
    Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
    Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
    Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
    Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
    Peasant 1: Bread.
    Peasant 2: Apples.
    Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
    Peasant 1: Cider.
    Peasant 2: Gravy.
    Peasant 3: Cherries.
    Peasant 1: Mud.
    Peasant 2: Churches.
    Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
    King Arthur: A Duck.
    Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
    Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
    Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
    Peasant 2: ...A witch!

    If you turn off your tele and stop reading newspapers you'll never witness any of those things again.
