What is chlamydia? I have lived a long, clean living life. Have I missed anything?

What is it about the people on this forum that set them apart from the rest of the human race? You don't, even when young, get succumbed by peer pressure and make your own decisions. Hardly any spliffs, not many smokers, you all see the dangers and don't join in with the crowd. Truly impressive. I ...

I don't understand modern songs which must be accompanied by frantic prancing round the stage. I don't understand this sentence. I think it is called the generation gap Ben. It was the same in my young days, when I was a locomotive fireman. The old Drivers couldn't stand our modern music in the 194...

Soph K, Re. the story about death penalties in Nazi Germany. Not long after the war, we saw what happened to a woman living on her own in Germany. the war crimes invetigators reported the case.

Sorry lads and lasses. I posted the same subject twice and I don't know how I managed to do that. I think that it is an age thing.

Jason, English humour is sometimes based on opposite situatuations. If it is pelting down with rain, I would say "lovely weather we're having aint we"". An American won't see the ironic humour and spoil it by saying, "no! I don't think it is". Well! we know bleeding well it'...

The Term FAMOUS PEOPLE is the wrong description for the people mentioned in these posts . they will all be forgotten in a few years when new generations come along. Real famous people are remembered in history.

Yes Soph K. In wartime Nazi Germany, Defeatism was a crime punishable by death. Mutti told me that neighbours were encouraged to spy on neighbours, and she told me that the Germans would never again vote for a man like Hitler.

People assume alcohol's harmless because it's legal, and that's far from the case. Seriously Lesley, does anyone actually still believe that alcohol is harmless? For example, the average tobacco smoker dies at 64, the average cannabis smoker at 44 . I don't think even the most rabid anti-cannabis c...

My brother's German mother-in-law was terrified of Hitler and the Nazis.

Wow. I used to study the carefully rehearsed set pieces of the televison version of wrestling. I loved the way a big man waited to be picked up and slammed down on his back. I admired his skill when he made sure that his feet hit the canvass first, thereby breaking his fall. Of course, the ladies l...

If prisoners can pay tax, they should be allowed to vote. Just to be clear, I don't mean just those with money, I mean all of them. Isn't the disenfranchisement permanent? So if you've served a 4-year prison sentence, you'll be banned from voting forever, but presumably you don't get an indefinite ...

George F. Jenkins

I have struggled a bit to see the logic behind prisoners having the right to vote. Why should they have a say in the running of the prison they have no choice but to live in or of a society that they've been excluded from? The best argument I can come up with is that when prisoners get out of jail,...

Anyways, the commons voted quite convincingly against this. And so they should. No cons should ever vote. Ever. Ever ever! Perhaps with a bit of luck, the E.U. might expel us from their union for ignoring their order to grant killers their human rights. Or perhaps they will fine us millions of poun...

As to your suggestion that an entire British Government would frame me for a crime that I did not commit, the mind boggles.

Suppose you've been framed and wrongly convicted for a murder by the current government and the only way to have any chance of clearing your name is if a new government was to be elected. I did expect that reply Mark, and there has been at least one miscarriage of justice in the past. He originally...

Murderers to be allowed to vote in parliament elections? Their victims are not able to vote, so why should they be allowed to? Or is this the natural progression of a humane society, where murderers are allowed visits from their wives, or in the case of Killer Huntley, visits from his boy friend, ho...
