Incidentally, there are only a few thousand deaths each year where women are killed by their partners. As that's a small number, should we not bother doing anything about it?
I have nothing profound to say about this, it's just one of the best examples of building a straw man that I have seen in some time. Yes, Mr. Chris, I am heartily in favour of domestic violence.

Why on earth not? Take them out of the hands of the criminals, make them safer, drop the price and therefore reduce acqusitive crime a squillionfold. Winner, surely?
Sort out this whole OD thing first, and maybe we can talk. But meanwhile, if you smoke enough cannabis, you just might maybe throw up due to poisoning yourself. Heroin, for example, is a different matter.

No idea, mate. Sartre?
*giggles* Yes! Er, no. Although, it is also responsible for nausea* so... no, I'm talking about cider. Specifically the cheapo stuff that's so beloved of tramps and teens. Although, when I was a lad, we didn't have alcopops and Lambrini, so this may well change in time. For Scottish viewers, the answer is probably Buckfast.

Or do you mean you've had a rosier view of the country than me? I'm not going to get (too) involved in some ill-conceived prolier than thou pissing contest with you here, but I'm a bit puzzled as to where you get this impression of me from. Is it purely because I'm a lawyer?
Sorry, my fault. I mean that although we live in the same country we appear to view a great many things very differently. I don't mean "Mr. Chris, as a member of the upper class...", but TWO exciting CUS points for the phrase "prolier than thou", which I intend to use all the time from now on.

Oh knock it off. I may not have smoked pot as much as you, but it doesn't mean I'm Jacqui fucking Smith.
Actually, that was just me trying to make it clear to They Who Watch Us that despite being a practising lawyer, you don't and have never etc. Redundantly as a needless irreverence. I wasn't trying to weaken your argument. Although, I must remember that in future.

Also - it's the good pissed. The real ale pissed, as it were, rather than the punchy Stella pissed.
Oh, well put. Yeah, I'd agree with that. A decent smoke is much like sitting down with a quality ale, to watch the world go by - it's not for lairy fizzy cunty aggro. And I'm very much an ale man.
Aside: I come from the Midlands, I do tend to walk around with my hairy bare feet, have big sideburns, like a smoke, and want little more than to be just left alone to quietly live out my life. I
am turning into a hobbit, for fuck's sake...
