Being silent about neanderthal bravado can give tacit support to it.
And while I’m putting my head above the parapet I’ll call this crap too

I stand by my original statement..one copperhead each.

Pete George

I know you….

I’m not apologising for anything. You don’t know me, and have no bloody idea what I would do. I prefer decent justice, not cowboy justice.

Your suggested approach would do nothing for the victim.

There is a good reason our justice system has evolved to where it is now. Retribution and lynch mob mentality create more injustices than they solve. Our current justice system can no doubt be improved, but that is not by going back to the Dark Ages and beyond. Most of us have become civilised.

getstaffed

Chicken Little – the 1000 year flood observation interested me. Is the measurement damage caused, or rainfall recorded?

The former is changed by better river management (landscaping, stop banks etc) and improved housing/roading, while the latter is at the mercy of consistent recording methods.

Or, more likely, it’s an alarmist stab at some comparison to ensure AGW headlines are created.
