Brainless Twits

[sunny-dave]

There will be children all over my small town who have seen what has happened in Paris - and been reassured by loving parents with "Don't worry, it won't happen here".

Now (over a week after the 5th) some thoughtless/brainless idiot has just let off a series of deafeningly loud fireworks - no display, just bangs.

I can actually hear next door's young children screaming ...

Totally forgotten it was Diwali , in that case it's been far quieter tonight than usual - just a few earlier.

I would be honest about what has happened.......couching the words of course, as what happens to your credibility if something was to happen here. It's a reality of life now and the word/emphasis to include is that it is 'most unlikely'

As to Diwali, I thought that this had been cancelled in India this year, so why isn't it the same here?

[Mamyalynne]

If that is so then apart from the dreadful weather another reason it's so quiet.

Ta.

Apparently it's various Sikh communities in response to terrorism in the Punjab earlier this year....

237SJ, //why should we change our behaviours because of Islamist terrorists? Isn`t that exactly what they want us to do?//

Unless we change our behaviour and concede to Islam, they couldn't give a hoot what we do. Our behaviour has no effect upon them. Given half a chance they will kill us.

Personally I wouldn't allow small children to watch the news.

"given half a chance they will kill us" Tell me about it. I live with that risk every time I go to work.

[naomi24]

You work with Islamic fanatics?

[237SJ]

Of course not.

[naomi24]

What are you talking about then?
