This rap[idly went 'off topic'.. however I see its also had a thread title change...all whilst I was reading a book.... Book 4 of the 7 sci fi finished...
Police..Yes well the Sarah case quite rightly caused extreme reactions..the man abused a position of trust and that's what makes it worse....she was also young and pretty. Just before I started at KGH the sister on the next ward got given life sentence for murdering her husband(injection of insulin under the toe nail I believe) Anyway there are certain professions where 'trust' is implicit in job description...nurses, police, teachers to name but 3...certain crimes by them send worse shock waves through communities.
As for that c word, one of may sons uses it occasionally, I just ignore.. Don't like it but then I don't like many, what I perceive to be offensive words.. I have been subjected(in the past) to disturbing tirades of abuse ..found it very frightening and demeaning. I accepted it because to try to change those using that language would have put myself in the position for further abuse. One of my shrinks(cannot remember which one) said to me they are only words and only I could give them the power to hurt me.... despite that I still find certain language, offensive....

I don't particularly like having my language policed, it's an affront to the freedom I have by right, following my birth. My human right, if you prefer. However: given that a minority of people find the c- world particularly offensive I'm happy to moderate this to some extent in order to further the harmony of humanity as a whole.
As a descriptive word (rather than a casual insult) I suggest that 'minge' is a more than capable alternative.
So I could say: Barmouth was heavily loaded with minge this summer. However, most unfortunately, it just wasn't my type of minge.
Another alternative might be 'clout'. Certainly hard hitting but I'm not sure its use is widespread enough, might need a PC led campaign to spread the word, let it be known that it's better to use this word rather than the highly offensive (to a small minority) c word.

This thread has detiriated into a load of old bollocks - in my opinion...

No idea what happened here.
In what I presume is the subject, at least he got a whole life sentence. I imagine he will be in solitary confinement for most of it.

Thats what he is hoping for Cannot see how they can integrate him with the other criminals... or how the prison officers will feel and act if he ends up at their nick... there is basically no place for a man whose done what he has.

Eddie an ex prison officer says that a lot of what we think is rubbish and certain crimes arnt punished by other prisoners like we think they are, unless there is gain involved. Although is this case I hope he beaten to death to save the cost of keeping inside as it does seem a waste of money for this scumbag of the first water

Yes they did. I suppose the point is that the meaning of words can change with emphasis and time. I believe I already mentioned intent. It seems the term 'fag' no longer exclusively refers to a gay person but instead simply means 'annoying'. However this could be somewhat regional (and age-related), which perhaps might be defined as cultural. The word "fag" never has referred exclusively to gay people. It used to mean "cigarette" and visiting Yanks would be confused by the English term for "Can I scrounge a cigarette?" which was "Can I bum a fag?". Sure, and before that (or perhaps simultaneously) it saw service as a term meaning 'tedious' or 'menial', as well as the practice of being an unpaid domestic servant in public schools.

I can't Imagine spending 40 odd years on your own would be good, so good Personally if I were to be sent to jail (seems unlikely) then solitary confinement would suit me well.
