“We have been filling Torquay with unemployed youths who get rent free accomodation by the sea, they think this kind of behaviour is funny. The Labour schools system and their parents didn't think to challenge this and the courts think a slap on the wrist is what they need. It will take a death before something is done to stop this behaviour.”

“reptor2456, I guess you would like teats being handed out in prisons as well - right? Will you be proposing that the teats should be taken from babies or just order new ones for the kids?”

“reptor2456, perhaps you'd care to explain why these people should get 'teats? I, for one, would like to know the logic behind your reason.”
