Houellebecq it is good to see you back posting :-)

Cols 100% correct. This new don't smack a child is why home-life for some, is just a living hell.

The super-nanny may just have to start a franchisee expansion into a multy million dollar business for all the brats that the goody-too-shoes have made.....I was going to say for the best of mankind, but LONDON AS NOW SHOWN US what happens when lack of discipline only keeps DOCS and others employed know-it all-nothings in a job at the experience and deception of their own careers, because what a money spinner in can be, if your in the right employment:) The law makers are now are not so sure.

LEAP

Your knickers are showing Houlley, but I will bite.

My only objection to the Communist label being bandied about is it avoides and detracts from rational and reasoned debate. We are hardly likely at this point in history to be invaded by Communists but far more likely to be influenced by a growing Right agenda which like Communism has little to offer in a democracy. I don't lose sleep over it but will correct a poster who makes false assumptions. One could argue there is no need as words speak for themselves and that is probably valid. Perhaps it would be better to ignore it.

Any society that is dominated by far Left or far Right of politics are generally ne-er do wells.

Occasionally one just can't help wonder if there is no logical reasoning present to argue a position and the poster resorts to baseless accusations, maybe they need to reflect on their own belief systems.

I don't know any Communists in Australia, they are thin on the ground and the chance of meeting one is slim, but according to the Conservative old blokes on here one would think there is a veritable army of them hiding in wait and I don't just mean from the posters where there may be health issues.

It is amusing nevertheless. I do look good in red but not for the reasons you imagine.

I would not know if you are a feminist or not Houlley - it all depends on your definition as it seems there are some odd interpretations out there including grand world conspiracies. :)
