bridge too far

dictionary definition

Is it time to get out my 'Harry's Girl' t-shirt? :oops:

I'm probably in the minority here but I just don't think it's FUNNY to joke about people because they're 'different'. Whether it's a 'different' colour, sexuality, mental or physical competence, religion ..... I think there are plenty of things to be laughed at. Difference and disability don't feature as far as I'm concerned. I'd find it hard to be comfortable with myself if I offended someone by joking at their 'difference'.

I was listening to Radio 5 Live whilst driving the other day and they were reporting on the stockpiles of swine flu vaccine. One expert suggested that the whole swine flu thing had been vastly overdramatised by the drug companies (and GSK in particular) in order to boost the orders for the vaccine. Apparently, Poland refused to buy any of the vaccines and NOT A SINGLE PERSON died of swine flu in that country. How true this all is I haven't a clue - but it does make you wonder. The drugs companies are very clever at manipulating worried people. Think about all the pressure groups they 'support' that pressure for some cancer drugs that haven't been fully trialled to be available. They feed off the understandable hopes of some sufferers.
