They've already got holes in the ends of pen lids because of things like this. Ehm, banning the lids of pens is a crazy idea. Shame about their loss tho.

Really? I'd imagine there was some sort of relief when he died.

Next week: Ban pens. Following the ban on pen tops, people have taken to chewing on their pen while writing. Some spastic swallows it, and now pens are to be outlawed.
The week after: Ban cave walls and chalk. Following the ban on pens... (Continued on page 94) | |

awww...wee shame. He'd have died of some other ailment sooner rather than later with that sort of behaviour. Putting manky, bacteria hoaching pens in your mouth is always a winner. | |

"What Ben was doing that day, chewing his pen, is what thousands of people do every day."
And somehow, they manage to not die. What with them not being completely unable to function in this reality.
Also, I want a dead kid to be described as a loner who was hated by his classmates. They're all fun-loving, outgoing and popular. Pisses me right off. | |

This makes about as much sense as a hamster cull in order to prevent internal rectum injuries.
Yes it's disastrous for the victims but you can't legislate against acts of individual ignorance/stupidity.

Why dont the teachers/family ever come out and say "Its a shame and everything, but he was a right cunt. So not a total loss, eh?"
Fuck these arseholes and their need to apportion blame when an accident is all it is. Just like the family who are taking the council workers to court because their idiot children where aloud to fuck about at a very deep bit of water un-fucking-supervised. And what happened? One of the drowned. Who would have thought THAT might happen?
And ban sweets. I choked on one when I was wee. The fuckers. And ban Chris Moyels. He makes me vomit. The fucker. | |
