The QUEEN appealed for peace at the UN yesterday.....timing could be important because perhaps she sees ahead a problem.
Only time will tell. |

It actually greatly amuses me to be accused of bitterness by someone who only a couple of weeks ago was on here describing any woman who chooses to have an abortion as a "murdering whore" and a "slut".

I know that human life is valuable - and not a throw-away commodity (which is what society is trying to make us believe) and accept as though it is "normal".
I was likening a woman (of which there are many) who finds a child an "inconvenience" to dispose of as she wishes .... and as if to highlight my point along comes a BBC2 programme (Thursday and Friday at 9pm) called "Dive" in which a girl (who gets preggers) is "encouraged" to abort it by her mother so she can "get on with her life" (with absolutely no regard for the life she is discarding). |

Actually ITK I'm not so sure about the difference between the rightly and wrongly convicted.
I learned a great deal in prison and met some innocent people I didn't like and some guilty ones I did.
It was a truly eye opening experience. Every individual is different and no circumstances are the same.
Agreed entirely ... my point was that someone who does commit a crime is likely to do so again, whereas an innocent person would probably not.
Generalisations, I know, but I think there is a strong possibility that it is true ? |

You don't have to say anything on my behalf, JK. I now propose to do what I said I'd do a little while ago {and I was a silly sod for rising to the bait this time} and treat anything ITK has to say with the blind eye his {or her} opinions truly deserve.
ITK's sophistry can speak very loudly for itself, and does so with great clarity. For my part I'd rather not listen to any more of it. |
