I think our more delicate flowers would prefer a full-blown moral panic. On that subject - hypo, i'm still waiting for your list of personal indiscretions so that we can start a thread condemning you as a moral degenerate. Hope it's soon.

Yes. Or something to do with accounts. Something of that sort.

Everything's gone to the dogs

Beckham stops to help a motorist restart his car, and in doing so enables the philosopher AC Grayling to neatly describe and puncture the self-serving, doom-laden nonsense which seems to have its fringe advocates everywhere, including on here. "Moral panics in society arise when a severe one-off interruption occurs in these normal co-operative arrangements. The murder of a child, an atrocity in which a gunman shoots a number of people in a school, a major public scandal, unsettle us because they challenge our collective sense of an ethical order. People immediately begin to think that everything has gone to the dogs." http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/a-c-grayling-celebrity-really-rather-kind-just-like-the-rest-of-us-shock-2213017.html

Chairman of MENSA. Actually my brother did exactly what you did after years on subs. He's now does something very similar to BTF's former job.

Did I hurt your feelings? I'm so sorry. I can assure you that was the first thing on my mind.

The issue in all this isn't freedom of speech, or any of your other paranoid fantasies. It's about your COLOSSAL need to stand in high judgement over the actions of every Tom, D!ck and Elton. It's not just that your moral pronouncements - because that's what they're not - amount to absolutely nothing. They indicate a desperate, immature need to lord it over everyone. We're all expected to sign up to your extremely comical moral universe - a pick-n-mix of the Daily Mail, the News of the Screws, the 1950s and (oh. my. god!) delldays. The reason you generate so much heat is that many see you as the bully-behind-the-bike-sheds with his fag-end friends. Elton is just the latest figure you want burned at the stake so that you can get your cathartic thrills - above all, of being vindicated in your visceral hatred of anything or anyone who doesn't fit in with your cosy, microcosmically tiny world. As I say, calm down. You'll do yourself a mischief.

And here comes mini-me.

Oh dear. Beta blocker time...

Finally an admission of the truth. Feel better now? Sit down, pour yourself (no one else will, sadly) a nice cup of tea, and have a listen to Your Song - your favourite song by the bestest ever follicle-challenged artist. That should get the boiling pressure down a bit.

Dune does not approve of democracy for third world ingrates. Surely you knew. Mubarak running away to Sharm al Sheik (most of which he personally owns) isn't the end of the story, I suspect. The army have for decades been the beneficiaries of Mubarak's corruption, so it'll be interesting to see whether they too will give up their hold on political and economic power.

A perfect illustration of your seeming inability to construct a coherent logic. You go from a slippery moral imperative - 'it is not natural from men to raise children together' - to a biological truism - men can't give birth. By inserting the word 'natural' into the first part, you've turned yourself into a complete ditz, your poor head spinning to comprehend how it could be otherwise. What you actually mean is: preferable in your perverse moral universe. So - this is how you should frame your argument: 'In my perverse moral universe, I want all men who propose to raise children jointly with other men burnt at the stake. They could only avoid the punishment of hellfire (aka more posts from you), if they could pull off the biologically impossible feat of giving birth to a baby.' There. I hope that helps. And please take it in the spirit it's intended.

It may be 'correct' in the way you mean it - which isn't saying much. Sex isn't only for reproduction, you know. Or haven't you discovered that yet? To other sentients, your statement is pretty meaningless. If by 'natural' you mean 'found in the natural world', there are plenty of examples of homosexual behaviour, including among genetically our nearest relatives, bonobos. They go at it hammer and tongs, regardless of the sex of the partner.

The lefty veggie who runs the large multinational company, you mean?

So no child adoption. What else?

Not half as much as we chuckle at your illiteracy.

That's what they all say. Cough up, hypo. We want to hear of all your misdeeds so we can line up and condemn them as if we, like you, were in Salem.

Still using that cardboard? Or still learning to read?

You should write dialogue for Greg Fokker.

Still waiting for that list of your indiscretions Hypo. Must be a long one for you to have taken so many hours to produce it.

Actually that happened to me. I must be more careful.

So while those who supported the students' cause have already condemned the violence (only you chose not to see that to suit your bilious point of view), you have still failed to condemn the violence that was visited on Asian men and woman and their businesses and property at EVERY EDL 'rally' (ie gang meet-up).

Funny. The difference between you and Deppo is that he winds you up and you do it to yourself. You presented the stupidity of someone else as widespread. It is idiotic to suggest that it is now 'PC' to say 'coffee with milk'. Utter crap, and I'm sure there is a grain of sense in you that recognises it. And the second fantasy of yours, on which you didn't comment? I imagine from the tenor of your vitriolic little gems that you suffer from high blood pressure. Calm down, otherwise you'll explode and we'll have to get Mr Wolfe out.

Before you hyperventilate your brain into total annihilation, you were called an idiot, I think, for basically just making stuff up to wind yourself up! Well done, on that score. Two examples of self-generated fantasies: 'coffee with milk' can be said; 'black coffee' cannot. Hilarious. And 'no one condemned the violence of the student protest.' Of course they did, but you didn't see it because you view every message on here with a little bit of flea-bitten cardboard held up to your eyes to screen out the bits you don't want to read in case you disappear in a malodorous puff.

And one with an oddly homoerotic avatar.
