    I see Mary Whitehouse is alive and well
    If only she was.

    We need moral campaigners more than ever in this day and age.

    I may not agree with everything they may campaign about, but they do have some valid points.

    At least the Daily Mail still cares enough to campaign.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      I used to hate Mary Whitehouse when I was a debauched teenager but now I think she might have had a point.

      Woss is a foulmouthed oaf. He devalues the currency of swearing by tossing around Fs and Cs like they are the pennies of the English language rather than the big denominations they are.

      There's nothing wrong with swearing in the right context, but Woss (and Brand and similar idiots) use these words very lightly, as an excuse for humour.

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        Have either of you watched this show? It’s a late night adult chat show that may on occasion contain some colourful language. He's not Gordon effin' Ramsay FFS.

        I find the idea of over zealous censorship far more offensive than anything I might hear on the BBC.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
