    It's nearly as bad as manchild's 'You have to get the last post even though I do too and I insult you in mine' argument <ok>

    I don't know if banning them is the right answer. Best to do what thefanwithnoname has done and destroy their argument with logic.

    i agree with your 'destroy them with logic' argument

    unfortunately the problem here is that people believe bull to be true. and no matter of 'evidence' can convince them

    For example I have worked with people from all over europe who believed mother theresa was an evil evil person. She apparently had a 'popal decree' that n other charity could work where she was as they didnt believe in converting those needing help. And if they didnt convert she left them to die literally

    But in the media etc she is a 'saintly' woman, so I am talking bull. Its 'accepted' so it must be true

    sorry for the religious theme, it continued from the other thread

    Mother Theresa was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction. And she was a friend to the worst of the rich, taking misappropriated money from the atrocious Duvalier family in Haiti (whose rule she praised in return) and from Charles Keating of the Lincoln Savings and Loan. Where did that money, and all the other donations, go? The primitive hospice in Calcutta was as run down when she died as it always had been&#8212;she preferred California clinics when she got sick herself&#8212;and her order always refused to publish any audit. But we have her own claim that she opened 500 convents in more than a hundred countries, all bearing the name of her own order. Excuse me, but this is modesty and humility?

    The rich world has a poor conscience, and many people liked to alleviate their own unease by sending money to a woman who seemed like an activist for "the poorest of the poor." People do not like to admit that they have been gulled or conned, so a vested interest in the myth was permitted to arise, and a lazy media never bothered to ask any follow-up questions. Many volunteers who went to Calcutta came back abruptly disillusioned by the stern ideology and poverty-loving practice of the "Missionaries of Charity," but they had no audience for their story. George Orwell's admonition in his essay on Gandhi&#8212;that saints should always be presumed guilty until proved innocent&#8212;was drowned in a Niagara of soft-hearted, soft-headed, and uninquiring propaganda.

    One of the curses of India, as of other poor countries, is the quack medicine man, who fleeces the sufferer by promises of miraculous healing. Sunday was a great day for these parasites, who saw their crummy methods endorsed by his holiness and given a more or less free ride in the international press. Forgotten were the elementary rules of logic, that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. More than that, we witnessed the elevation and consecration of extreme dogmatism, blinkered faith, and the cult of a mediocre human personality. Many more people are poor and sick because of the life of MT: Even more will be poor and sick if her example is followed. She was a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud, and a church that officially protects those who violate the innocent has given us another clear sign of where it truly stands on moral and ethical questions.

    there was this chinese restaurant that opened up in a pub that closed down, hardly anyone went into it, the **** they did was disgusting.
    A year later they close down, turns out they were growing cannabis upstairs.

    Try that it court, knobend. 'Ah only smacked him for a laugh!'.

    It wasn't a pisstake anyway. It was your daily pathetic bid for attention. Courting controversy is just the halfwit's way of doing it.

    Huth is a stokie, as someone who has lived here for years this is 'humour' to them sadly

    Never been to Norfolk but stokies are as inbred as I hear they are over there
