Didn`t anyone ever tell you that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit?? Pity!

l OBVIOUSLY did read the article. l saw that 3 men tried to jump into the taxi after the attack, and l KNEW the driver wouldn`t take them, OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!

However, YOUR comment " What`s the point of THAT? WAS NOT CLEAR what the WHAT was.

ln the future why don`t you practice actually saying what you`re referring to, it`s not entirely obvious as it could have referred to another comment in the article.

Your disagreeable tone to someone you don`t even know ( always so easy hiding behind a computer) is not conducive to a genuine, and agreeable discussion or answer.

Have fun you two....
Looks like 3 more emails each before The Nazis and Hitler are mentioned....ooops, beat you to it!

Actually you started with the disagreeable tone when you put the what in capitals – if it wasn’t foer that you wouldn’t have gotten the reaction you did – completely your fault!
You are clearly an idiot because “it could have referred to another comment” – well you obviously didn’t read it properly because my comment was the first comment on this article! LOL @ you

Also it is completely obvious what I meant to anyone with more than half a neuron in their noggin!

Anyway that wasn’t sarcasm! WTF what a fool u r! Plus you’ve put half the words in your reply comment in capitals which is incredibly immature and pathetically rude! Fk this your not worth arguing with – bye!

Well you`re the idiot here, and it COULD have referred to something else, but l`ll leave that for you to figure out, sounds like you`ve got just 1 brain cell.
And as for the CAPITALS, well, if you had any intelligence, it might have occured to you that many people use them to EMPHASISE a point. lt`s NOT shouting, just because a few people all agreed together like sheep that it was so, doesn`t make it so, it`s for emphasis.
And now l`m going out till this evening, l`ve got better things to do with my time, l`m sure there`ll be a reply when l come back, SUCH fun, isn`t it debating with people you don`t even know!!!

ps, and you like to exagerate don`t you, much much less than half were in caps.

And your point is?

Well if you`re too dense to see it l `m certainly not going to explain it.

Sorry I should of made that clearer. How does being part of a medical family and a poet and well travelled mean that you don't have issues and need therapy? :-)

l think you already knew "my point" and let`s face it , many psychiatrists/psycho
logists have " issues" translate into plain english " problems" ! But then again don`t we all, it`s part of the human condition, but it`s how we deal with them that counts!!

l believe l know myself the best, in fact l believe we ALL know ourselves ( if we are honest) the best.

So, l am in that sense my own therapist, as l know both my strengts and weaknesses, my insecurities, my vulnerable side and my confident and happy side.
Because of my insight into my feelings, and l am an intuitive person, l don`t need another person, a stranger, to tell me what they perceive to be wrong.
l could see 10 therapists, and get 10 different opinions, or diagnosis, so they can`t ALL be right can they?

These are their perceptions, and all different too, so basically unreliable.

l think the fact that l can express myself well, both in writing and in person shows that l am a good communicator, l am not the type to bottle things, the fact that l travel also and enjoy it should tell you that l try to get the best l know how to out of life, and regard all experiences, both good and bad, as valuable, even if an experience is bad, it is still valuable in its own right, because it is only through all experiences that we grow and develope, both as human and spiritual beings.

Whether or not you think l need therapy is entirely irrelevant to me, l know myself well enough to know that l don`t need it, and if you look around at the state of the world, plus the child abuse in this country,) l used to volunteer for the nspcc) then l would say many people certainly do!

Some peple, and are you 2 joined at the hip? are just incapable of recognising an honest answer, and l feel sorry for people like you, because you can`t differentiate,betwee
n pretentiousness and an honest comment. or at least would have me believe you can`t !!!!!

l personally couldn`t give a s--t WHAT you think, totally irrelevant to me and water off a ducks back!!

Fact is though, at least l had an interesting point to make,( which l think was enjoyed by bignosechaff ) whereas all you2 can do is criticise, always sooo easy from the anonymity of your keyboard, you are probably bored and just " passing the evening" really interesting isn`t it, all this argument and sarcasm to people you don`t even know, but then some people seem to thrive on it, there`s no accounting for taste, or rather lack of it, is there! night!

When I go out I often go to Leigh rather than Southend as it has always felt safer to me. I'm mid-forties now and certainly can't be doing with getting into scraps with guys in their 20's. It does sadden me though. I wonder if there had been an earlier altercation between these guys or whether there was a dispute over whose cab it was. That's all specualtion though.

When I read about this stuff I always want to find some logic or justification in there. I suppose sometimes that won't be the case. It will just be an unpalatable fact that bad things sometimes happen to good people. That's life I guess.

Why do you guys argue so much with each other rather than just stick to commenting on the report?

These written comments are always liable to misinterpretation so why jump at the chance to get stuck in and have a row?

Chill out a bit for goodness sake

Good god what an angry person you are! Why not combine a couple of your skills and jog off to Australia and write a poem on the beach and chill the devil out

Hi Monkey! Would you care to point out what exactly in my above quote you classify as " angry" because as far as l can see there is nothing!! it`s just an honest reply, the fact that you can`t see that though tells me that you are the angry one, and only capable of criticising, which is the easiest thing in the world, any fool can do it!!!!
So, l ask you again, explain what it is that you perceive as angry, l`m really looking forward to hearing from you!

Metta, the answers to your question are below. l`m chilled out, and was quite happy to leave it there, and let your comment be the last, but as you can see, below, some people, mostly sheep, cannot leave it alone.
l will always respond to sheep, who are basically both cowards and bullies, cowards because they can only act together, with each others support, and bullies, because they ENJOY trying to intimidate other people, and getting a reaction.
But as l hope you see they don`t phase me, not one little bit!!

Surely organisations such as the nspcc do not accept everyone who volunteers their services, do they ? Your reply indicates that you were accepted but by saying that you used to volunteer you gave the impression that you had tried more than once to do so.

NO, By saying that l used to volunteer means l was using the past tense. l suggest you revise some basic english grammar.

And in answer to the 2nd part of your question, yes they do actually accept anyone as a volunteer.

Maybe they do their own checks, l don`t know, but as long as a volunteers work is satisfactory they are pleased to have them, and quite rightly so, we work, not for monetary gain but because we believe in something, which is the wellfare, well being and happiness of the child, and as the uk came bottom in a Unicef survey of 39 countries for child mental health, well being, self esteem and happiness, l think this is something worth doing, l may even re-apply soon.

Also, you may not be aware of this but the NSPCC`s own figures show that 1 child PER WEEK is killed at the hands of a parent or care, a statistic of which to feel deeply ashamed!!!
And, the respected organisation CEOP`s figure reveal that 1 child is raped in the uk EVERY 20 MINUTES.
This makes for horrifying readingm although l don`t think many brits are even aware of the scale of the problem in the uk!

@ almeda11
Who said
"NO, By saying that l used to volunteer means l was using the past tense. l suggest you revise some basic english grammar".

i don't want to make a big issue out of it but I was taught that 'used to' is an expression rather than a tense and (in the form you used it) consists of a subject (I), a verb (used) and an infinitive (to do)- In this case volunteer.

Still, never mind, we all make mistakes don't we ?

All we need on this thread for a win double is E-Types but I think this might be her first day in rehab.

@ almeda11 Who said "NO, By saying that l used to volunteer means l was using the past tense. l suggest you revise some basic english grammar". i don't want to make a big issue out of it but I was taught that 'used to' is an expression rather than a tense and (in the form you used it) consists of a subject (I), a verb (used) and an infinitive (to do)- In this case volunteer. Still, never mind, we all make mistakes don't we ?

Well, of course, there are many different ways of using the word " used" l could say " l`m used to it" or " it`s being used for something else" .

lt`s the context it`s being used in that counts, and as l said that l used to work for the nspcc it should have been obvious what l meant, still as you said we all make mistakes and l`m not about to lose any sleep over it, sure you won`t either :-)

What a STUPID question!!! HOW? could l have been a volunteer if they hadn`t accepted me in the first place ???? Answer, if you can, but l doubt you can!!!

Surely organisations such as the nspcc do not accept everyone who volunteers their services, do they ? Your reply indicates that you were accepted but by saying that you used to volunteer you gave the impression that you had tried more than once to do so.

And saying that l used to volunteer does not give the impression that l`d tried more than once, but simply that that was what l used to do ( in the past)
