That's really, really creepy!

I've always said we're better off without social services and that its an inevitable slippery slope.

Even if/when shit like this happens, people still mock me for my attitude.

Every aspect of their fucked up mental process explains everything thats happening, the scary thing is that the MAJORITY of people are authoritarian. True consistent libertarians are very rare.

Like you, theres plenty of people I know who I can't talk to, thankfully my missus is brilliant. Mikey as and when I catch him on the phone then we gab on for 2 hours or so lol. I was too busy stuffing my face with pizza to talk at length when I visited I reckon.
Mind you, if I even went to the UK I'd be stuffing my face with wensleydale cheese, greggs pasties, fish n chips, warburtons bread, broad beans...omfg here I go again LOL

Networkers very often.

There should be a Social Services for those folks.
