Of expense claiming cabinet ministers you mean? I agree.

[Andy2]

Hang them.

Capital punishment should be allowed in some special cases like this

[Mr Crosby]

Hang them.

[Churchill]

I think I am the only person sane enough to disagree with both overwhelming responses.

Oh yeah?

[xoggoth]

In the thread about some MP's car getting trashed, the overwhelming response was "violence is ALWAYS bad".

A a thread about a baby being cruelly killed, torturing the killers to death - or at least execution - is the overwhelming response.

Oh, I had thought that was a windup as I mentioned my cat

Yep just googled it and that's the one. Hurrah! Must remember that one now.

I thought that it was a wind up too.

You weren't thinking of Kitty Genovese Syndrome(as posted by NotAllThere)?

Please put me out of my misery *cautious but hopeful*

It's one of those situations where you almost have it at the tip of your tongue...but alas not quite.

In a book I have in my briefcase under my desk there is a lengthy description of it. Along with its origins in a stabbing murder in broad daylight in New York in the 70'?

ShouldI have a quick glance and tell you the name of the syndrome?

No. Out of kindness you are blasting the vermin with water rather than lead. It is less reliable but kinder. How sweet.

Less messy. That's all.

Interesting.

So which is it? Violence is always bad or violence is OK when I feel like it?

I had sausages for my tea last night. I guess its hard to kill a pig without being violent, so I , for one, am in favour.

Kitty Genovese Syndrome

[ThomasSoerensen]

IT'S A SOCIETAL SYNDROME!!! It has happened ad nauseum!

*collapses weeping, we women cry yanno*

Actually the one thing I could cry about is that I used to know the name for the syndrome, it does exist, but for the life of me I can't remember it now.

If anyone can come up with it I promise you my new born, or at least my cat (or at least a pic of her. Which is reward enough, honest, she's a cutie!)

Is it cruel to blast cats with water soakers when they are c**ping all over my garden? Is it a slippery slope to becoming Hannibal Lecter?

No. Out of kindness you are blasting the vermin with water rather than lead. It is less reliable but kinder. How sweet.
