We have the nhs

It gets a lot of bad press in England, mostly from the tabloids and conservative newspapers that relish inspiring fear and contempt among the general population. Actually I've never felt too let down by the NHS. I don't understand how anyone wouldn't want their taxes to fund healthcare, it seems one of the most logical things for it to go towards, practically everyone is gonna need it at some stage! No ones system is perfect, but a system where the amount of healthcare you get is dependent on how much you earn or the job you have seems very very wrong to me.

...only on C-C could a discussion about rape and shame turn into a discussion about whether or not Asians eat dog, honestly.

This story is so heartbreaking. I understand how the family can shun her in the same way I can understand why those boys raped her in the first place, ie I don't. I agree with coffin critter here, culture or no. Wrong is wrong.

Awesome! Glad I'm not alone :D Got any idea where you'll be taking yourself? I have absolutely NO idea what I'll be writing about. I'm already writing a novel (I have not gotten far) So I'll be doing that, probably in small word counts, during Nano too! Hope I don't meet anyone, I need time to write :)

same! It's just one of those instances where you'd fight it, no matter who you were fighting.

Altho pedophile or not, who lets their kids have a sleepover with a grown man without their presence? It's downright negligent!

Aww your supposed to praise her! She's bringing you presents!

You can't change animal nature, she's a cat!

I caught bits of this, I actually cried when his daughter spoke, which shocked me because I don't cry over dead celebrities. It's strange how people react to death. The Jade Goody thing over her was sheer torture, people were comparing her to Princess Di. This was a woman famous for pretty much nothing too.

I don't see it as exploitation of him though (as OP suggested) I think people just loved him and want to celebrate his life. I would imagine he'd have loved the spectacle his memorial service was.

I don't understand why it's costing you guys money though? Surely this kind of thing would be paid for by sponsorship, ticket sales etc?

*sigh* then you do sarcasm

it's hard to read intonation over the internet.

I would bet money that Wuthering Heights has something to do with Homelessness.

The book I hated the most and never made it through was Wuthering Heights. I found it awful. It was so slow and bloated. I never finished it.

Wuthering heights is possibly my favourite novel ever. Possibly. It's not about homelessness, why on earth did you think that? Although I'll give you that the character of Heathcliff had no REAL home. It's a love story. The first four chapters are hard. Once you get to switch to Nelly Dean teling the story it gets much more interesting. My friend can't understand why I love it so much, I guess when I first read it at 15 I indentified with the completely unlovable leads having a love story. Cathy and Heathcliff are just completely terrible examples of human beings. Cathy is manipulative, dramatic, childish and petty. And Heathcliff is just psychopathic. He strangles a puppy for christs sake. He digs up her bones to embrace them after she dies. He manipulates her daughter into marrying his son. Yet I love them, their love and passion is intense. Some of the best romantic sentiments I  have ever read come from Cathy as a teenager when she's dithering between Heathcliff and Linton. Sorry Sales Pitch over, just wanted to reach out to anyone who hasn't read it and let them know it aint half bad ;)

You know schnooder posted about books the other day too, maybe we should start a C-C bookclub :P

ah fair enough, I had to watch it for media studies class, I've personally never really been one ofr documentaries but that one was very sweet.

sorry, same day.

I talk about shoes to my friends! Well one friend, she actually is obsessed with shoes I like to show an interest in her interests.

...Men collect ties? o_0

agreed cpt bunny. it's like acessories, they're fun for everyone to enjoy regardless of weight. I actually have alot of shoes that I don't wear. Heels. they're usually cheap though so therefore uncomforatable. I tend to live barefoot or in my failsafe brown walking boots <3 or size 3 trainers with the "pride laces" as my friend calls em that i've had since I was 13. other than that though my shoe collection ranges from glittery dance heels (the comfiest heels i own) knee high, like 8inch heeled strapped buckled and laced red hooker boots, lime green heels, silver strappys, silver court style heels, pirate boots, black heels, red heels, haha a pair of lime green trainers, blue boxer boots, brown lace up heels...the list goes on. Shoes look good regardless of weight :D
