No disrespect to our usa builders but the uk is becoming more like the usa you can sue anybody for anything. There was a case in Perth scotland 2 yrs

thing that should/could only happen in america.
this comes back to my point on soft people. A weak person sues over stress due to, say, an argument with the boss, and also get weeks of sick leave. A
stronger person doesnt spare it a second thought, is back at work the next day with no problem.
It pays to be soft.
I know a lad, a hypochondriac in my opinion, who hasnt worked in months because of imagined illness that he has, through worry, made real. It
stems from his mother letting him have days off school for a sniffle, so hes had the wrong approach from the start.
Someone told me the other day that, if a kid grazes a knee for instance, if you fuss over them they cry their eyes out, but if you tell em its nothing
they dont think twice about it!
PMA!
and aparently delinquency stems from not caring for your mother/father. if a toddler shows no interest in a parent how pretends to have hurt
themselves they are more likely to become criminal. Some psychologist also came up with a way to help kids learn compassion apparently...
damn i get carried away sometimes!

i was gonna say that the human rights act should be modified slightly, but thought that may sound a little extreme!

and whilst im gusting i'll add that i agree with steve, that you cant trust everyone to know what is an appropriate response to anothers
actions.
you should be able to detain a burglar without fear of a kidnap charge, but then again murder is still murder if it wasnt necessary.

one.

What Steve means is that he has found a way to post totally unrelated snippets of crap rather related snippets of crap that should be in one
post...:
Only joking mate.....you are a good contributor....

Coming back to the plot... 
You always have to be careful when you read these stories in the press, 'cos invariably you only get a small part of the story.
Mr Martin was quoted as "a hero of the down-trodden victim", but he had a long history of trouble with the police for gun mis-use. I
believe that he was generally regarded as a 'nutter' by the local community. This was the last tragic event in a long chain of incidents.
rgds,
David

Hey Steve!
i normally do edit posts, but when theres a bit of a change of tack, a new post can help separate one from another!!
feel free to call it P-ing, seeing as joeling doesnt have much of a ring to it...
you see, im doing it here!
david has a good point about media painting a picture that they like, excluding facts that dont fit the picture. Happens all the time, the papers that
seem not to do it are really just doing it unnoticed due to an outlook similar to 'ones own'.
thats what the queen said anyway...

I found it most amusing recently when that Cheif Constable of somewhere stated that the public should make more citizens arrests and assist the police
more.
I wonder if you can get a grant or allowance in order to accomodate the villan you have arrested whilst you wait for the police to turn up?
With the emphasis on human rights for the criminal, who in their right mind is going to help, knowing that they could be sued.
The sooner all this PC crap is done away with the better off we all will be!

Citizens arrest is great, you can't actually touch them. All you can do is ask them to stay where they are while the police come!! Fabulous, but
remember to be polite, you dont want to get done for verbal assault either!
