Masturbators & Danish Cartoons
Some of you may have read my blog where I told of writing off my old Astra and that I'm looking for advice on purchasing a Toyota Yaris Spirit. According to one of the readers of the blog, this makes me a f#$%#$ wanker....
"You f#$*&^%# wanker, why don't you look in the autotrader".
It got me wondering where all this anger I've been seeing lately comes from.
The kidnapping of foreigners & burning down of embassies in response to offensive cartoons. Calling somebody a f(^&%^ wanker in response to a request for advice.
Where have our tolerance levels gone to? Or did we never have a high level of tolerance in the first place? Were the offensive cartoons and the request for advice, merely catalysts, unleashing the violence buried in their psyches?
And somebody needs to explain to the man that f%^&^%& and wanking are different activities.
"You f#$*&^%# wanker, why don't you look in the autotrader".
How impressively tolerant!
