How stupid is the average Brit?

caca

Yes, part of the fun of an American-hosted board is saying things that wouldn't pass the Nanny if only they knew what it meant.

Sally, which be is "tulipe"

"Even if they get to court the mere excuse of it being the wrong time of month is good enough to get them off an assault or murder charge"

....as a generalisation!!
I guess if you look hard enough you'll find a daft case where this was a defence (and possibly a defence that worked) but to use that in a sweeping statement is....I'll say it again.....tulipe (which be is).

I'm not suprised you're being attacked by women if you keep coming out with tulipe like that

Ask him where he lives so that you can go round and thrash him

I myself prefer papa, but caca is of equal quality

My colleague was stabbed by his ex. Her excuse was it was the wrong time of month; she go off for that reason. There was a high profile case last year that I will not bother looking up (BBC Website) where the woman murdered her husband and she got off at the Court of Appeal for the same reason.

I will look up the statistics. The ones I am referring to were incidentally compiled by a Lady Professor at University.

I'm sorry but I just dont believe you about your colegue. I'm sure thats what he's told you, but being "on the blob" is not a defence to assault/murder in this country (or anywhere that I'm aware of!)

If these statistics you're referring to are of how many lasses murder people during their period, I wouldn't be suprised - thats quie an interesting study.

If the statistics are how many women have used this as a defence, then I'd be VERY interested to see them. Using my common sense however, I would hazzard a guess that each of them had been diagnosed with a mental illness which was significantly worse during that time of the month.
