Wrong subreddit. /r/WTF perhaps?

I am so sick of Facebook and its infantilizing mechanisms. It's time people got a real frickin' life and lived it on the streets of their town and not in some bizarre virtual hotel.

This whole jon venables case shows how utterly broken Britain is. What the two boys did was unspeakably wicked, but they were just 10 year old kids themselves. Seems most people in this country would like to see 10 year olds being publicly executed, probably without even the need for a trial.

The tabloids are allowed to repeat gossip and rumour which leads to thousands of men being put under suspicion and in danger.

Is this a men's rights issue? Probably not in itself. Similar hysteria happens occasionally over Maxine Carr, who merely happened to be the girlfriend of a child killer, and who has to live under a false identity. If it was a straight forward paedo story, possibly, because we all know that paedohysteria is a weapon directed against men.

It does show, however, that feminism is certainly not leading to a society that is more rational or civilised.
