Too true, Ive got a mate who goes to gamblers anonymous.

One fella from their meets took William hills to court, as he had sent a letter to them saying not to admit him as he is on a GA list. they did, he gambled, took them to court and won.

That is ludicrous, I take it we are now all absolved of any level of personal responsibility for our actions if we have a dependency of any sort.

And BTW, that 50's school sounds like the one I left in 79. The cane didn't work as a deterrent however, otherwise my mates and I would only have got it once, rather than countless times.

Bit extreme don't you think!?!

Also some sweeping generalisations and assumptions made.

One word.... Pish


Yes of course you're right (just posted the e mail as I recieved it, should have edited the last couple of lines) but the way we are going it won't be too long before its all too true. BTW I was at school in 1957 and the cane clearly isn't the answer or I too would have only had it once :)

No the cane never worked, at school. We use to have comp's, to see who could get the cane the most, in a week.

Now I go to "Miss Whiplash". Three times a week!!!!!!

Stevie as ludicrous as it may seem it is heading the way that people are not responsable for their own stupidity , the whole world is gone PC mad that even the slightest word out of place & your in trouble, people trip over something & they claim , solicitor is on a no win no fee job , the judge will give them dosh instead of saying open your eyes you clown , i get what the email is saying , and society is a worse place for it
