THey're things. They're only things. It doesn't matter.

OK, I'll pop round and **** in your PC.

Why?


On my way, I'll pop into HMV and take a hammer to the CDs.

Why?

Because these are just things, with only a financial interest, and have no
real value compared to the desires and mechansims of nature.

Or maybe actually causing damage to bits of plastic is something that has an
effect on people, and we should consider that, whether the damage be
accidental or deliberate. Peoples lives depend on just things, peoples
income depends on just things. People can get emotional support from things,
and if someone else takes that thing away, or defaces it, is it just damage
to to a thing, or damage to a person? Was the fact my stereo, TV and tapes
were stolen, and the *******s covered the carpet in paint only upsetting
because I was too attached to these things?

Some people attach sentimental value to just things, others do have a
financial interest that they would rather not have inconsiderate
arseholes
damage. Is it really too much to ask others to try and have some respect
for
property?

er - your earlier threats put you in that category (inconsiderate ... ).

I had to pop out to Tescos earlier today. It was packed, and aside from the
grumbles about people seeing it as some perverse social club, I saw several
children. There was the young couple with babies of different ages all piled
into a trolley, with the spare in a pushchair. That was a couple, FFS. There
were other couples, wandering around with their spawn. Then there were the
children accompanied by one adult - I have no problems at all there, as
there's no reason to believe that these people have any alternative to
taking the children out when they need to shop. I see the first group as
inconsiderate, the second as not. In no way am I saying people shouldn't go
shopping with their children (much though I personally would prefer that), I
have been saying all along that when there is more than one person capable
of caring for the sprogs in a household, why do the whole bloody lot have to
thoughtlessly impose themselves on everyone else to get a pint of milk and
the Sunday roast?
