Unless I missed something, merely mentioning a current even, such as a president being elected, is not "discussing" politics, but mentioning, you know, news. I guess I'll remember this next time someone brings up abortion, education policy, gay rights, or the British royal family.Quote:

Damn, i had to look it up but - YES, the Pink Floyd house is for sale. RIP Syd Barrett.
Publishing giants Random House and Penguin are to merge, creating a huge mega publishing business.
Unfortunetly they are NOT going to be called Random Penguin! A missed oppotunity if you ask me..
Really? Most of the classics i have read were Penguin.
Random Penguin poor soul...ironic name if you ask me. There are many randoms wild animals these days they don't know whether they belong in a house a zoo a swimming pool or the wild. Random indeed.Quote:

Nation Horrified To Learn About War In Afghanistan While Reading Up On Petraeus Sex Scandal
WASHINGTON—As they scoured the Internet for more juicy details about former CIA director David Petraeus’ affair with biographer, Paula Broadwell, Americans were reportedly horrified today upon learning that a protracted, bloody war involving U.S. forces is currently raging in the nation of Afghanistan. “Oh my God, this is terrible,” Allie Lipscomb, 29, said after accidentally stumbling on an article about the war while she tried to ascertain details about what specific sexual acts Petraeus and Broadwell might have engaged in. “According to this, 2,000 American troops have died, 18,000 have been wounded, and more than 20,000 civilians have been killed. Jesus Christ. And it’s been happening for, like, 11 years.” Sources confirmed that after reading a few paragraphs about the brutal war, the nation quickly became distracted by a headline about Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash’s alleged sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy.

The French Government have banned that twitter favourite "hashtag" from all official documents in an attempt to protect the purity of their language.
How did they word the official ban without violating it themselves?Quote:
