on Sunday, then I believe it will show that this country has lost any small semblance of moral decency it was holding onto. And that the heads of a national institution have let all thoughts of ethical reasoning go out of the window in favour of political correctness.

I can only hope that it doesn't make number one.

But, my God, this country has sunk to an all-time low.

Very sad.

I didn't actually mention the word "bombning". Your Honour.

" But I think people should only express regret of their own volition and only if they actually feel regret."

What the fuck are you on about?! confused

I don't understand how the Boston bombing has been dragged into this thread.

And, before you think too badly of me, yes, the thought of the little eight year old boy has crept into my mind at times during today, but tbh I try to shoo the thought away. I'm all cried out for the children in the news recently. Almost.

"In case he gets blown up tomorrow" - is there a material difference?

I'm sure you understand that sentence but if not: People have to make up their own minds whether they have said or done something that they regret - statements of regret or apologies shouldn't be made to placate other people.

confused Elegran flip the thread.

What does "sixteen" mean?

Bags Tue 16-Apr-13 21:18:26

Pages (guessing). I only have four pages because I specify 100 posts on each page. The default is 25.

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 21:19:46

Oh! Mine says 4.

Galen Tue 16-Apr-13 21:24:21

I'm still on one! But sometimes it gives other numbers. No rhyme or reason?

Nonu Tue 16-Apr-13 21:24:38

I read that reversing polarity in some mountains (magnetic rocks?) was endangering the lives of climbers because their compasses got confused. The pages on GN threads are like that. sometimes they start at the beginning, sometimes at the end, whatever you put into your preferences. Makes nonsense of some threads. Except the ones which were nonsense to start with, you can't tell which way up they are.

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 22:35:17

Now I wonder which threads those might be................................confused grin

Oops! I meant #littlethingspleaselittleminds

nonu Climbers and reverse polarity

I was not referring to any specific thread, just remarking that sometimes there is no obvious progression to the converation, just a series of separate statements.
