Stress??? There's something slightly wrong with his form of stress relief! What's wrong with meditation? Or going for a run? Having sex with defenseless animals doesn't sound like a decent alternative in my view....

Something as banal as throwing snowballs can turn into attempted murder. Absolutely crazy. It's the way that violence escalates that bothers me. How something 'snowballs' to such an extent is beyond me.

Thanksgiving, like Christmas, can be a very stressful time. We are all meant to enjoy it, meant to get together, meant to be thankful. But sometimes the broader stresses of life take over. I don't condone what she did at all. But it would be interesting to know what the full story is in her head.

Even though it was on the back of a stupid crime by his father, it's great to hear a good news story. It's timed perfectly for Christmas as well. Now lock up the father for a very long time.

Sometimes I think that some people don't deserve to have children. This is such a sad story. Clearly she needs help. But ultimately you have to feel sorry for the kids first, and the mother just needs to be sorted out separately.

It still has to be Facebook, though I need to weed myself off of it a bit. It's too addictive, too full of 'noise' and too random. A lot of us live our lives through other people's news feeds and I don't want to be living my life that way.

I can definitely understand the father's reaction there. For his own sake, at least he didn't do anything that would have resulted in murder and longer term incarceration. But how a man can try to pimp out a 12 year old is beyond me.

I'm probably going to be one of the few that keeps things very conventional and old school. I think it has to be vanilla. Boring, I know. But if it's done with quality ingredients, particularly with quality cream being used, then it's hard to beat. I'm not a great fan of all these weird and...

The only time I have was when I volunteered to do an identity parade. It was quite strange lining up with all these other guys, one of whom was potentially a criminal. And when the woman looked at the line up to try to point someone out, it felt odd. I knew I wasn't guilty of anything but I was...

Another sad shooting story. We all know the debate and I'm not going to argue the rights and wrongs of gun use and control. But it's a shame that such a young life had to be lost because another child made a mistake.

Maybe he was drugged up to the eyeballs, maybe he wasn't. Whatever his state was at the time, this is just such a crazy thing for anyone to do. He's got no respect for himself or other people. But I would be fascinated to know what was going on in his head because this wasn't the behavior of a...

I'm kind of speechless with this story. I realize that people can do some stupid things when they are drunk but this is kind of crazy. Even if his friend did hit on him (and who knows whether he properly did) there are better ways to tell him to get lost!

Maybe it works that way for some people, but in terms of how I see the world it most certainly does not. That's not to say one way is right and the other is wrong. We all simply have different experiences. I guess I just wasn't built that way.

That's just crazy! Clearly this guy has big anger management issues. He really needs to see someone about it. And soon. This is just more than crying over a wrong coffee!

Every year I make sure that I watch at least one Christmas movie on DVD. It's just one of my traditions. The one film that I probably watched for 5 or 6 consecutive years was "It's a Wonderful Life." It's probably still my favorite Christmas film. It's very schmaltzy and sugary and was made in...

Some people really have to get their priorities sorted out. Hopefully while he's in jail he'll have a rethink about whether rehab makes sense or not.

I think in a way we all have more than one personality. It's just that we don't tend to live at the extremes of these personalities - i.e. we tend not to be sociopathic with it. When it does go beyond 'normal' behavior then you've got the bi-polar / schizophrenia space, and that's not a very...

Wilmslow? I can think of a lot more beautiful places in the world than Wilmslow! But I think my choice would probably somewhere with mountains, fauna and big blue skies. I'm not sure where that would be but I think I'd like to try a bit of 'back to nature' instead of cities all the time.

Once I get over the initial shock I think I could last for quite a long time. I'm pretty reliant on it these days, but when I've done digital detoxes for a day or so I realize there's life beyond the internet. Being offline for a time clears your head space. In fact, it's probably what I need to...

I'm a bit mixed on the death penalty. I agree with a previous post that there is a bit of revenge involved in the process. I'm not a fan of the 'eye for an eye' approach to justice. Admittedly, sometimes I do hear of a story about a crime where my knee-jerk reaction is that the death penalty...
