    Couple of years back I overheard my nieces and their friends (7/8 year olds) playing a game along the gist of... you be the man in the white van and try to abduct us.

    WTF?

    Probably a result of their parents telling them the white van man would get them if they didn't behave. I suppose it's similar to the bogeyman I was always 'threatened' with when I was a lad.

    Still though it must be a bit disconcerting to hear kids say that. Sinister almost.

    I hate when a TV show just losses all sense of realisim as the story develops. Was watching The Following (just finished Season 1) and even though i enjoyed it, I couldnt help but hate the plotholes in it and the absense of logic as the season went forward.

    Half-arsed parenting. I saw 2 examples of it in the space of 10 minutes this morning. First of all there were 2 kids in a local wooded park, which is currently cordoned off due to the number of fallen trees and dangerous trees that look as though they could come down at any minute, they had a big hacksaw with them cutting wood. Jesus, why in the Hell would you send or let your kids go into such a dangerous environment, firewood isn't expensive and the trees are too wet to burn.

    The second was a woman stood over her babies pram smoking a ciggarette. It's inexcusable now to smoke around or over children, I say that as someone that smoked for a long time.

    unless she was leaning into the pram and blowing the smoke onto the babies face that is very much mind your own god damn business territory. and I say that as a non smoker.

    Oh Cheeses yes. I know for a fact they're sent by self-centred barnyard-animals-in-clothes with fierce opinions of themselves who think every mis-spelt poorly-typed bit of badger sputum to emanate from their keyboards is the highest wisdom and pronounced ex-Cathedra.

    Oh Gawd, just when you thought the job couldnt get any worse :( Actually that reminds me occasionally we get some female coming in who is off on paid my-fella-shot-his-beans-up-my-muff leave with their little screaming human and the fellow females in the office actually get into a bit of a frenzy. I mean, this is no "congratulations he's beautiful (he looks like the guy from accounts you disppeared with for ten minutes during the office party nine months ago)", its fully fledged hysterics. It's like they've never seen a baby before. You can actually hear the eggs popping - like being at Wimbledon ffs. :mad: The poor child is sitting there wondering what all these hens are screeching about.

    A. None. Don't mind me - I'll just sit here, in the dark...

    So, basically, you believe that if there is a known rapist in your area who is still a threat to people, you should just ignore it and get on with your life.

    People who butt in when you're trying talking and then keep talking. Can't you see I was talking first a-hole? All these people should be taken out and shot with balls of their own sh*te. Shower of b*stards.

    I have no suggestions for you. But believing that people are wrong to be freaked out by a known rapist who is a threat to them living nearby is a bit weird.

    So I take it you dont mind if I continue on with my life as normal, remaining as vigilant about my safety as I would be regardless of whether there was a serial rapist living nearby?

    I dont think people are wrong to be freaked out, I just dont want to be greeted with photos of Larry Murphy and big red warning signs every time I log onto facebook, or see "Monster Spotted in Train Station" on the front of the paper every other day.

    People who drink the last of the water in the filtered water jug and don't fill it back - ITS. NOT. THAT. DIFFICULT.

    People who drink the last of the milk and put the carton BACK in the fridge. WHY. WHY. WHY. WHY?

    People who think your fears/phobias are stupid/ridiculous and you 'should get over it' while their fears are perfectly normal and warranted.

    I don't like spiders, I am actually terrified of them and I always get the 'don't be so silly, they won't hurt you, yadda, yadda, yadda'. Whereas it's perfectly okay to be terrified of water or fire. I'm a strong swimmer and I love candles but I would never be so insensitive to say to someone who is afraid of fire 'cop on and light the fire, the match won't hurt you'.
