Blade Runner replicant checks into rehab

I'm afraid it is a disease.

For those who don't know about Alcoholism; here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholism. I'm pretty sure other sources will say the same.

Medical institutes indeed call it a disease; as once you finally came away from it; you can NEVER touch alcohol again; else you will revert back to being to how you were. You brain becomes dependant on the chemicals, thus this is not a condition as you are not born with it; nor is it hereditary.

Getting sucked into your own hype should also be a disease :-/ That can do things to your brain aswell; asuming you have one to start with.

Public says no to ID cards, No2ID says 'starve the beast!'

Maths Qualification

"...shows 48 per cent against versus 43 per cent for."

Now where does the extra per cent need to be removed from??

Will the number of people against the ID Card actually make any difference to whether or not they are finallised and actually issued!?

How many other things have gone forward even with the majority being against the idea!?

Running queries on the HMRC database fiasco

ORly?

May seem strange; but I don't believe for one second these 'disks' have been 'lost'; I don't even beleive they were sent in the first place. This ordeal is far far 'too' stupid for the Government.

I beleive this is a way to promote ID Cards, so people buy into it in a bid to 'protect our personal details'!!

They know exactly what they are doing, and we all just walk right into it; everytime!

Tories call for mobile phone ban in schools

Manners

I think all this is just plain rediculous! Instead of trying to protect us from ourselves and put stupid laws and policies in place; why do we not TALK to our children and teach them about manners, respect and being sensible etc etc!? For example, the simple words:

"Make sure you keep your phone at least on silent or off till you need it okay!?".

How hard is it to communicate with people these days!? I find it amazing that people are becoming increasing unable to communicate with each other, and they just seem to merrily follow the will of what the government deems necessary. People these days need to be given assistance in 'Please & Thank yous"! Not a very good role model for the younger generation who are then slated with "Youngens these days; no respect!".

More and more we are told what we NEED to do in society; by those who wouldn't even know what 'society' was if it jumped up and bit them on the face. Do they have families of their own, do they know how to talk to their own children, do they understand the meaning of manners and respect themselves? ... I think that answer is painfully clear!
