Hedgecutter Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 *sigh* No, you and the driver of the car who hit you be the victims of an accident, he'd be the victim of someone speeding. Who would be tried for reckless/dangerous driving, not willfully mowing your buddy down with a car. Come on.... Right enough. Just reading back over that and even I don't know what I was trying to get at!!! I personally reckon that both of us were at just as much fault yet my mate would get more sympathy when the extra 5 realistically wouldn't have made any difference. Fcuk knows.

blanco Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 You can however accept that on occasions a victim should put their hands up and admit "ok, that was a bit of a stupid thing to do?". Maybe not necessarily not this case, but in general, right? Don't be so silly, in this day and age people should be allowed to act any way they like (as long as it's within the law), whether it's advisable or not, and regardless as to whether their actions offend anybody or any group. If for some reason somebody takes offence and gives them a slap for it they are in no way to blame whatsoever for bringing it upon themselves. We live in a liberal society and must be free to do as we like (within the law) without worrying about any consequences for our actions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Here's the cartoon, think it's more or less wishing the ISIS boss Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Seen reports that are saying the attack today is unlikely to be in response to that cartoon, as it was too well planned. They think it was in relation to previous stuff the magazine have put out.
