Although I’ve never been the sharpest weapon in the arsenal, Pumpkins, but I’d like to think I’m somewhat jiggy to world affairs. So let me try and get this straight – if you bomb, shoot or maim innocent civilians, you are, at most, subjected to some tut-tutting from the UN. But use chemicals and you are so crossing the line.
Is gunpowder some sort of organic substance – considered less ‘chemically’? What?
Thank goodness our own courts are less worldly, dahrlings. I’ve never heard a murderer let off with a brisk talking-to because the weapon was ‘natural’.
Speaking of drawing arbitrary lines, Singapore’s Scoot Air is setting up ‘child-free’ zones. Five rows of seats will ban the snot-nosed, diaper clad, wailing, bottle-fed things. So where the hell am I supposed to sit? I don’t like kids either!
