    It's as if our government has been taken over by the school debating society. At the end of each session is a show of hands ...hey look kids ...this is democracy in action!
    No it fucking isn't ... a classroom full of children have debated something voted on it and ...ACTUALY BEEN GIVEN THE POWER TO ACT!!!!!!!!
    Lucky it hasn't been taken over by a university student union - otherwise they'd just be promising us endless free beer... :p

    Just wondering, if we were to post a load of logos of cigarette companies and people smoking, would thesite get in trouble for advertising tobacco if they left them up?

    Well I don't think it conravenes thesite's rules.

    But it's common knowledge that smoking is big and cool and will get you laid.

    And to think, the health fascists and anti-smoking nazis would probably want such iconic images such as these banned / photoshopped
