'Being cyber-stalked is as bad as being raped, or in a war'

I dont think so

As someone who was in Kuwait when Iraq invaded (ok I was only 14 but still knew what was going on) and was subsequently taken up to Iraq to be a hostage and had our family split up (mum, myself and my 2 sister were held in Baghdad and Dad was taken back to Basra) and has in the last few years been hunted via the internet and had a lot of threats when i've been found etc (by the ex wife, ok probably not as severe as some of these cyber bullies but still not nice) i can categorically say that for me the war was by far the most disturbing. Its easy to turn your pc off, ignore messages before you read them etc etc

Any article that manages to fit in 'Frikkin Lasers' into the content deserves a 10/10 from me

@AGirlFromVenus

How do you measure climate change without measuring weather patterns?

ie snowy weather = weather , snow is also a by product of a cold climate (not exclusively but none the less), therefore they are inextricably linked.

I love hearing people say weather is not climate as it just reminds me how people will just repeat and repeat what they have been 'told'.

A snowy day may not a cold climate make, but 3 of the coldest winters (in my memory) in a row does a colder climate make

Of Kuwait and DSLR cameras

say hello to humourous remark

ie his comment about going out with camera.......and why would they keep an eye on press photographers? Maybe you could tell us all why as you seem to have a deep seated knowledge of the country? In the meantime I'll take the word of someone who is there and knows enough people (the elite there are very clicky and someone always knows someone who knows someone that came up with the lastest laws, rules and regs) that he would know about this one.

Right, just spoke to my old man

Who has lived there for the last 30 years (its where I grew up) and he reckons this report is a load of crock. Infact he is going to pop out tonight when he goes to the golf course and take his DSLR and see what happens.

Sounds painful, did she not need those parts anymore?
