a_face_of_light Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It's an unlit cigarette, and not doing him any harm, while I think it isn't appropiate it really is a bit much to send the Police and Social Services to the girls house over it.

a_face_of_light Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Figures.:lol: I would have thought you were against the nanny state but if you feel people acted in the right manner over this you obviously arn't, maybe they should have a social worker shadow her until the kids 18 in case he accidentally trips over his shoe lace:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck are you talking about? It was a young, stupid girl being a young, stupid mum. Hopefully she'll mature as quickly as the kid, it really wasn't a big deal.

Exactly, the kid wasn't in any danger, I think some peoples over reaction to this is pathetic, including the Police and Social Services ones.

That newspaper rots your brain. It's like the news section is being spammed by a Daily Mail fanatic who feels it's their duty to inform everyone of it's oversensitive sensationalist drivel (Sorry, it's news) in an attempt to reach out to anyone who isn't within the newspapers demographic of menopausal middle-aged women whose lives are unfulfilled and pointless and they need something to moan about so their lives have purpose (unless of course he/she IS actually one of these people). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc_squared Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 The Mail certainly is sensationalist. ALL newspapers are in one way or another. If they weren't, nobody would buy them.

The Independant is an ok read, The Express is ok from what I remember, I personally like The Telegraph. The Daily Mail has things along the lines of: "Watch out Immigrant, Muslim,Black,Homosexuals will take over the country, and claim benifits fear for your lives" Or other non stories like the baby with the unlit cigarette, by the looks of what other people have said I'm not the only one who has this sort of opinion of The Mail,I'm not criticizing you for reading it but I would take alot of what they say with a lorry load of salt.

You could still say the same about anything you read or hear. The Iraq "war" and the climate change "evidence" are prime examples. The fact is, whether you think the reaction to what this mother did was disproportionate or not, she's clearly a "few sandwiches short of a picnic" to have done it in the first place.:dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but cigarettes and babies don't go together in any shape or form, therefore this photo should never have happened. I felt the same way when Spamela Anderson sold that photo of her baby with a cigar sticking out of its mouth. Totally inappropriate.:dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMightBeWrong Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Woah, you really ARE a menopausal middle-aged woman. Nothing happened to the kid. It's not going to drive the population of one-year old children to run out and attempt to buy cigarettes. It's just another sensationalist over-reaction from a rag of a paper that plays upon the ignorance and stupidity of people like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are clearly another user (almost certainly Spoon) masquerading under another name, I don't really give a monkey's what you think, but I reckon if anyone's over-reacting, it's you.:lol: You are sadly in that very small minority of people who are incapable of discussing a topic without getting "personal", therefore anything you say can be pretty much disregarded.:smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
