Ah.  Statutory rape,while still icky, is a different beast sometimes.

Usual meaningless election. Labour a little ahead, tories slightly behind which is all just shockingly surprising.

Of somewhat more interest to me was the "comments" section, taking here a few samples of the "highest rated"

There should be a box at the bottom of all ballot papers that says:

"None of the above"

The number of votes for this should be published so that we know just how many people want to vote but just don't want any of the current parties.

I'm 34 and chose not to vote today. I've decided not to vote ever again. There will be some of you who will say, that I've lost my voice. But I've realised an uncomfortable truth- I never really had one to begin with. I saw the millions rally against the Iraq war. I watch politicians of every stripe on TV, and I almost throw up. And so do you, if you're honest.

While people argue on here about Left versus Right, you will end up being shafted by career politicians from the Centre.

There is no difference between Labour, Conservative and the Liberal Democrats so if you voted for any of them today you voted for the continuation of the existing political Establishment.

If you believe you have voted for change then you are sadly deluded.

I'm probably being overly optimistic, but there does seem to be a slight awakening to the two party con. Don't worry, it'll be chloroformed back to sleep shortly.

I shudder to type this, but I think there could be a worrying chance (that is, the chance exists) that you could be looking at nu-thatcher here.

Cain, What I was getting at with my previous post was Porn had recently become very easy/obvious to access. Basically you didn't need to type "tits" anymore to find it.

I'm probably doing that thing where you look at totally unrelated things, find one thing that links them and declare them to have a meaningful connection.

If you get mad about shit like that, you're just gonna get ulcers.

The world is SWIMMING in stupid people.  And they have stupid kids.  Which they make even more stupid.

More Miami fun
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18241494

A man who was shot dead in Miami at the weekend after he was found biting the face off another naked man has been identified by police.

Rudy Eugene, 31, reportedly growled at a police officer after he was warned to back away.

A witness said the aggressor continued to eat the victim, before the officer opened fire several times, killing him.

The attack next to a busy road on Saturday afternoon has been linked to a potent drug known as "bath salts".

About 75% of the victim's face was reportedly missing.

Miami police said they still do not know what prompted the bizarre and savage assault, which has been compared to a "zombie" attack.

Armando Aguilar, of Miami's Fraternal Order of Police, told the Associated Press: "He had his face eaten down to his goatee. The forehead was just bone. No nose, no mouth."

Mr Aguilar told a CNN affiliate he believed the suspect could have taken a type of drug known as "bath salts", citing four past overdoses in the Miami area where people had also removed their clothes and gone berserk.

"It causes them to go completely insane and become very violent," he said.

According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration, users of the drug have reported experiencing agitation, paranoia, hallucinations and elevated body temperature.

Holy fuck. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the fuck "Bath Salts" actually are? If they are actual bath salts this could be a rather fragrant zombie apocalypse.

[Cain]

It's mephedrone, I think.

[Junkenstein]

Sounds plausible, it seems to be widely available and weakly controlled. Probably a name to watch as the war on drugs develops.

Given this list of effects and side effects it would suggest the face eating chap may have had some underlying issues. Who would have thought?
