..."to prevent pedophilia"

Is common sense melting away due to Global Warming?

Well I was out photographing people on the beach not too long ago with my camera. I definately got some strange looks and a few comments of "what the hell is that guy doing?"

Generally I ignore anyone who tells me to stop photographing unless they have honest and true clear authority over the situation.

But yeah, its pretty stupid in general.

Dear Peter,

I tried logging in to billsbikechat (as a Land-Rover-owning Cornish motorcyclist) and can't seem to get in, despite being shown as the 'newest registered user'. Any ideas?

Cheers,

R.

Serves her right. She's lucky she didn't get sent to Gitmo. :rolleyes:

Common sense died out long before we ever heard the phrase "Global Warming", I'm afraid.

I can ALMOST understand not photographing children, but this is so far beyond stupid I can't find the proper words for it.

How do we know she's not being "renditioned" right now? :eek:

Some have our moments, like me typing "preventing" instead of "prevented" -- a casualty of my migraine. I wish something like this (the article) could be explained away by something like that. :bang:

The server occasionally throws a wobbler, all seems OK though :confused: I'll let Bill know.
