Thank you for your consideration! For future posters, here is the talk thread, where you can post all about the contest. I hope we manage to get some better submissions here.
Whenever someone's been blown up, in the UK we get told "the prime minister has described the attacks as bad", but I don't understand why.
I don't see terrorists relenting just because an old Scottish man says what they're doing is wrong. If anything, surely that's the recognition they want :P.
I desperately need something to look forward to, as at the moment all I'm anticipating is certain films and finishing a piece of work, and that makes me sad.
Give me some ideas, what are you looking forward to?

Well, I think we'll learn our lesson as soon as the terrorists have a web address that says "The west is full of fags" and none of us know what it says because it's in Arabic.
Come to think of it, do languages like Tangerine or whatever even make use of italics? Any language without italics is rubbish.
But who's going to want to narrow down their audience so much by having such a URL?

Do you mean psychology, or are you reading physiology books?
So many people condemn hunting dolphins that live a free life, but they eat pigs and cows who have been mistreated their whole life. I'm not an animal behaviourist, but I've heard pigs are very intelligent by human measure, and comparable to dolphins.
What's the rationality?
Oh, and I'm not saying eating dolphins isn't disgusting, because it is, but so are you.
"Great job Stan, now the Japanese are normal like us". I liked that, because it is hypocritical to criticise the Japanese for killing intelligent animals.
It was a good satirical episode in some aspects, I think it's a shame they tainted it with the childish humour of Cartman singing Lady Gaga.
I get annoyed that there's the stereotype of vegetarians and vegans, I feel particularly, are all hippies. I'm pretty much the opposite of a stereotypical hippy. I have nothing against them, but I'm just not one.
