There are lot of people this morning saying that one of Jamie Bulger's killers being

Oh, that's alright. I did think it was a bit harsh on Bulger's dad.

Hmmmm ... he is a scouse b

I don't know anything about Bulger's parents, other than the fact that his mum was distracted when he got snatched, which does seem rather unforgivable. I mean, you can sometimes lose track of the movements of a 4 or 5-year-old, but a two-year-old? Nah, you *always* have one eye on a two-year-old when out in public.

re-imprisoned for possession of child porn is evidence of why we should have the death pelanty.

This mystifies me. He was 11 when he committed murder. Are they actually suggesting we should've hanged an 11 year-old child?

In fairness, hanging is probably too good for an 11 year-old child who dropped his brand new Nintendo this morning

As a parent, I am genuinely staggered that more people don't kill their own kids, given how many emotionally fragile people we know there are around. There is no greater provocation to violence than a small, whining child.

I had always assumed that this is why people go on and on about how much you will love your kids, how the bond is unlike any other. They are really just trying to give themselves, and you, a very good reason for not killing the little *******s.

The bond is real, but it's mainly down to the fact they're cute. The same reason we'll feel sad if we see a dead cat, but not a dead ant.

I don't really buy into the whole kin selection stuff. I mean, I'm sure the theory is scientifically sound, but it pales into insignificance as soon as your kid starts whining.

I understand. THe problem is that my cats are cute even when they are whining. Also, you can just tell them to **** off and they **** off.

I am guessing this doesnt work/isnt the done thing when it comes to kids.

Wait until they turn into big whining children

How about most of the people I've been surrounded by in the Emirates on my past few visits?

That's what the pill, and abortion, were invented for, I think; for those of fellows that don't have the money and/or the temperament for it.
