It's all good. "Down and dirty" is for the Tank but this isn't the Tank. Thank goodness.peter wrote:Just kidding Hashi - I'm so varied and inconsistent in my own position that it would ill behove me to criticise anothers. I tend to take things issue by issue rather than as a whole.
Today [and likely other days, too] I think Jenn doing this would be even better:StevieG wrote:I don't care what it's called - I'll do what Jenn's doing
In my opinion the Express could only imrove as a result of the introduction of Page 3 girls (only kidding). Without doubt the press in the UK is in a state of crisis. It's an interesting point that in order to start with the closest to the truth you should begin at the back page of a paper and then work toward the front by which time all pretence at veracity will have dissapeared.I'm Murrin wrote:No, that's the Sun.

Protect the children? Last time I checked, children tended to be a result of sex and to arrive among us nude. What am I missing?sgt.null wrote:u - we are free until it comes to sex/nudity. then we have to protect the children.
I like this idea!peter wrote:How about a sticky 'What Do You Think Today?" thread to sit alongside the "How Do You Feel Today?" thread.
From my own stand point Lina, which is about all I can answer from, as I get older I'm coming more to see that goodness and badness is a mixture that we all have in us and much more dependant upon our personal beliefs (in terms of what we see as being one or the other in other people) than I had previousely recognised. I have only met I think two people in my life who would qualify (to me at least) as being 'bad to the core' ie having no aspect that I could qualify as being 'good' even knowing them very well. I have met people who others regarded as being nearly saintly who, on close aquaintence, revealed some of the same nastier aspects that us lesser mortals are plagued with, but by and large people are a mix of good and bad and it's up to each of us to recognise our weaknesses and atempt to do the best we can to hold them in check. As the man said, as you go through life try to do a little good if you can, but if you can't manage that then at least try not to do any harm.Linna Heartlistener wrote:I was thinking about the "good people / bad people" dichotomy.
You know, people's personal philosophies often break humans into two neat groups: those who are good, and they are just "really good people," and those who are bad, who are bad to the core, incapable of good and it's a waste of time to even think about reforming them.
Wondering, do we humans tend towards that way of viewing the world more in this age than we did in other points in history?
No, collectively we do the same crap we have been doing for the last 10,000 years. The only difference is that these days we can put it online for others to see instantly.Linna Heartlistener wrote: Wondering, do we humans tend towards that way of viewing the world more in this age than we did in other points in history?
Peter's blurb here is a good point, and part of my answer...which is:peter wrote:goodness and badness is a mixture that we all have in us and much more dependant upon our personal beliefs (in terms of what we see as being one or the other in other people) than I had previousely recognised.
