Good.

Let's begin.

I posted, and said...

Hypothetically, if I was in the armed forces, and ordered to fire plastic bullets, or water cannon, on mobs of rioters, out endangering innocent lives, whilst looting, and carrying out arson attacks, I would.

I would, because that was the job I'd have chosen to do, and that involves obeying orders.

It would make no difference to me who the mob actually consisted of, because unlike the vast majority of members on here, you said hypothetically you wouldn't report your child, if you knew they'd been out looting and rioting.

I remember, after I asked you, if you had a child who'd stolen a large sum of money off an elderly grandparent, would you report that crime, and you similarly said no.

Shamefully, in my opinion. An attitude which reflects badly on the society we've created.

Then, as now, it's my opinion, that what you say you'd do, in this hypothetical situation, that this is an example of bad parenting, in which children fail to learn a very useful lesson in life, that for the majority of the times, actions have consequences.

This is the reality of what was said, and posted.

This is when I say...'Please quote any evidence to the contrary.'

You, of course can't. As there isn't any.

A day or so later, I'll ask 'No luck, coming up with the evidence Vern?'

Depending how many empties are on the floor, you either have a little chuckle, or start mubbling on about fisty-cuffs, rumble in the jumble sale, or some other such nonsense.

Provide a quote which shows everything I've just posted about shooting poor lickle innocent babies, isn't in fact the actual truth of the matter. If you can.

Evidence, to the contrary?

Vern 'on your pushbike' Tebbit, it's over to you....






We'll be waiting.

WE are waiting... and that is not the royal "We" -even though I consider OUR question to be equally , if not more pressing...
