    Interesting dilemma

    Problem one: You obviously can't make love happen but, if you exclude any possibility from the outset, what you'll be left with will inevitably be a very shallow experience. Problem two: Real sex requires a considerable degree of trust - and this (hypothetical) woman clearly can't be...

    Bush is back.

    Something else I forgot to mention: Those hairs serve the useful purpose of trapping scent. At least that's what I've heard because I can't smell it. :( :( :(

    Bush is back.

    Listen carefully ladies because, for the umpteenth time, I'll say this only once: Ever since the first pair of australopithecus sneaked off into the forest to mate out of sight of the dominant male, you've been devising ways to attract a mate. That would be fair enough except for one small...

    To consent or not

    I've just re-read your post and realized that I didn't quite get your meaning last time. You're suggesting a sort of sex proficiency test. :idea: :idea: :idea: But there's a problem: how much would this 'license' cost? Governments have long had a habit of taxing anything that costs less to...

    To consent or not

    Some parents might be but schools aren't. On the contrary, too many of them are restricting sex education to the bare minimum. I'd even go so far as to suggest that British schools don't actually teach sex at all. If they bother to teach anything, it's restricted to that mostly unwanted...

    To consent or not

    So a certain Professor Ashton (whom I'd never heard of until two days ago) has suggested we lower the age of consent to fifteen. And so the topic was all over The Wright Stuff on Monday - with almost everybody being against. Well I did a quick bit of digging around and discovered that in...

    "on benefits and proud"

    Well some of it is definitely the government's fault. There's a major flaw lurking in our benefits system that was alluded to in that program but not fully explained: If you 'do the right thing' and find some paid work, you can easily lose more in benefits than you're earning. :shock...

    Sentencing

    I have one of these in my tool box: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/cable-sleeving-tools/0548243/ I still call it the Marietta Special. A hundred and twenty-one penetrations and she wasn't even struck off. :shock: :shock: :shock:

    Sentencing

    At last! A breath of fresh air in this long and largely pointless argument. Who was it that said, "Democracy is the worst possible way of running a country - except for every other method that's bean tried." They were right. If my history is correct, the essence of Magna Carta is that...

    The human rights act...

    Sorry about the late reply. Been a bit hectic around here recently. :roll: :roll: :roll: In simple terms -- It's a feature of our legal system, which is an adversarial one. There is also an underlying principle that it's better to let ten guilty men go free than to convict one...

    The human rights act...

    So do employers. This is a bit off topic but -- When I was on the dole many years ago, I signed up with a few agencies. I even got a few interviews. :D :D :D The only problem was that the jobs didn't actually exist. :( :( :( One employer was quite blatant about it; he was bidding...

    Sentencing

    "You get thirty years for robbing a train. You get ten for murder now that's insane." (Labi Siffre) There's nothing new about inconsistent sentencing. It's a feature of our legal system that judges have a lot of freedom over sentencing. For what it's worth, the shortest sentence for murder...

    The human rights act...

    That sounds like a reasonable definition of a criminal. 8) 8) 8) That's not what plugwash said. Criminals are responsible for their own actions. They choose to break the law. What plugwash did say was that governments make the law and, in so doing, they determine what is or is not a...

    The human rights act...

    Ah, the vexed problem of voting rights for prisoners. Actually, I don't really care whether they get the right to vote or not but this issue highlights a fundamental problem with formulating 'rights'. I think you'll find that everybody, everywhere, is in favour of 'human rights' on two...

    Visa rules for Chinese visitors to be relaxed.

    Convicts are only the tip of the iceberg. There are another twenty-four million ordinary Chinese men who might be tempted to take the same route: http://primetime.unrealitytv.co.uk/unreported-world-marcel-theroux-heads-china-meet-chinas-bachelors-woman-whos-hunt-find-wives/

    And it's lonely at the top too - or so we're always being told. :( :( :( But look on the bright side; there's always somebody worse off than you. How about that poor guy downstairs? I bet he's lonely too. Why not invite him up for a beer? :idea: :idea: :idea:
