ETHICS

"Those conditions are so horrendous that the only moral and ethical thing to do is to leave."

Psychologist Laurie Wagner on the decision by the American Psychological Association not to ban its members from aiding interrogators at Guantanamo Bay. Instead, the group approved a resolution reaffirming its opposition to torture.


So this from the country that puts itself out as the leader of the free world.

Surely the only moral and ethical thing to do would be to approach the International Court of Human Rights and get the situation changed? I don't know about leaving...what are they doing there in the first place? Presumably their medical training didn't prepare them for words such as 'torture' and 'interogation'.

Nope...it's time we all took a stand against the Yanks. I recommend we put massive import duties on American films and television programmes. That'd cripple their economy...and we wouldn't have to put up with any more racist 'British people all have yellow teeth and are crap in bed' and 'Australians are all inbred, sheep-fondling drunks' jokes. (Actually the latter is probably acurate...but that's beside the point.)

British people all have yellow teeth and are crap in bed which is why Austrlians are sheep-fondling drunks BUT WE HAVE ETHICS OR WE WILL HAVE WHEN WE VOTE THE RODENT INTO THE NEAREST RAT TRAP.

The shrinks are all there to test out their theories which they got from the North Koreans in 1950. The Brits held up the best against the Nth Koreans so it's a shame that mad king lost the colonies or the world mightn'd be in this mess. We'd just be drowning in tea and warm beer.

Well I shouldn't say that; about pommy shelias I mean, some of my little fans there might read it. But tell me this, why is that hostess on Temptation so plain (and corny too) while Sonia kruger is so good looking?

Sonia Kruger, there's a babe. Terrifying.

Like what we are here in Blighty, which is why our teeth are stained and our sex lives are soggy.

Sorry Rh, I can't give an opinion since I never watch Temptation and Sonia Kruger's a blonde, isn't she?


Hughes, you'd like Sonia Kruger, she's just your type...breathing.
