Fair enough I say, but why stop us from accessing sports sites? BBC news "yes", BBC sport "no". My football club website and Fans forum "no", Ebay "yes". FETCHEVERYONE "no", Amazon "yes". I think that there's a hidden agenda here!
Raptors claws are coming to town Dec 2012 5:37pm, 21 Dec 2012 22,977 posts	Quote Pin Raptors claws are coming to town I am randomly barred from some sites. Shopping sites run so slowly that it's not worth the bother. Facebook, Twitter and the like are banned. I can open Hotmail and see my inbox but not use it. Ravelry is hit and miss. Fetch is no problem. It doesn't like The Independent or The Telegraph, is iffy about The Guardian, and doesn't bat an eyelid at The Daily Mail.

Not Facebook itself, actually, but all the people who are crowing about finishing work for the year when I still have two days to go. I don't usually work weekends, so this will be a struggle.

No the way to do it is to ask very very searching questions of anyone who wants to buy a gun. We dont even do it thoroughly enough in this country..

My own view of it is that violence in general is VERY prevelant in films, games, TV and generally all around us in i sincreasing portayed as "entertainment"
