david_carnell Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The Daily Mash (a favourite of certain forum members) is based closely on the great American news satire site, The Onion.As previewed in Saturday's Guardian they have begun doing video news broadcasts so straight you wonder if they really are spoofs.LinkSome are pant-wettingly funny. Personal favourites so far include:China Celebrates Its Status As World?s Number One Air Polluter 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 'Ridiculous,' Al Qaeda SaysApparently some of the real networks are even trying to recruit the anchors due to their professionalism.

Brendan Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I?ve not seen much of the ?G? word on the forum of late. Seems folks have been too busy worrying about house prices and global markets. You know, things that have nothing whatsoever to do with gentrification on a local scale.

atila the gooner Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I was deeply saddened to hear about the senseless unprovoked attack on, and murder of the 16 year old in Hither Green. I just can't believe a human can kill another human in such a manner. I shudder to think what the poor family are going through and hope when the culprit is found, it will be put down in the same way a rabid dog would be, but no doubt some bleeding heart liberal will trot out the usual lame excuses and he will get a nominal sentence, be referred for psychiatric reports and will be among us again (Care in the community) in next to no time. What kind of **king world are we living in.

mockney piers Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I have to say, I was reading the Observer last night, and after the interview with the unrepentant father in Basra who killed his own daughter for basically talking to a British soldier, then reading the above story, I got a very heavy heart and decided I had to go to bed.Deeply depressing stories.

atila the gooner Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 These stories regrettably seem to occur so frequently that I'm afraid they may lose the ability to shock and horrify people who begin to become immune to them. God I hope not otherwise we may as well give up the ghost now and welcome armageddon with open arms.

atila the gooner Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Jesus, every time I open the morning paper ther's another story about another knife murder victim in London. I'm seriously considering getting out of this country and going back to Cyprus which is where my mum and dad come from. What is it with this country and knife crime.

Hannah6_6 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Oh Moos, this bus crash happened just outside my office, it is so horrid. Unfortunately the poor woman who was killed works in the office just across from us. We heard it this morning and thought the cracking noise was coming from inside so did not fully notice until the arrival of police and press. Very sad although appears not the fault of the driver or anything, the tree fell down to hit the bus.

Brendan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Out of all the reporting and comment from around the world that I have been reading (with growing despondency) about what is going on in South Africa at the moment, this is the closest to the issues anyone has got yet: http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/sean_jacobs/2008/05/south_africas_hard_thruths.html He?s still wrong on some things but he pretty much gets it.

SeanMacGabhann Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 I thought of you when I read that earlier Bren - in a good way that isMoos/Hannah - terrible story - I walked that route every day for 2 years and feel I know the area quite well. I can't believe people started to attack the driver (according to some reports I read - it may not have happened) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1054-i-heard-the-news-today-oh-boy/page/19/#findComment-104078 Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_carnell Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I read someone in another thread mention there hadn't been any real debating threads in a while so maybe this will set the cat amogst the pigeons.New proposals will make all obscene images of children illegal Now, I'd rather this wasn't a debate where everyone has to confirm how much they despise peadophiles before they start with their post (this isn't the BBC's Have Your Say after all) but just so we get off on the right foot, peados = scum etc etcWhat worries me about this legislation is that you can be prosecuted for possessing or making an entirey fabricated image. It will be an offense to "possess drawings and computer-generated images of under-aged children in sexual activity." Whilst not wishing to condone those who have these images is it not dangerously close to a "thought-crime". No children are harmed by an artist's(and I use the term loosely) pen and yet one can be prosecuted for just such a thing.If there is no harm - where is the crime? In the perpetrators head. Thus, we have a legal precedent for convicting someone based on their thoughts.Any thoughts?
