When the Press talk about lowering standards of education then I do tend to believe them. But that's from experience of of seeing what is happening. And you only have to look at some of the rubbish on here.

But there's little you can do with people who have the mindset of imbeciles. Sympathy would be wasted. However,if they feel content in their enclosed, lonesome world of self-gratification then maybe its best just to let them get on with it.

Just a comment about us imbeciles for those who think they have brains.A imbecile is a person who was born in the village of Imber,located on salesbury plain,and is now regarded has a person of a low mental ability caused by cross breeding during the great plague.I am sure that the comment off STATIC MOVER shows that he must be another black and white with a attitued problem.

My suspicion is that someone from the Sun contacted Intermedia, and asked "Are you interested in buying Newcastle United"...

They said no...

Now they have come out and said "A third party came to us to ask if we were interested in putting a bid".....

No-one lies!

And an ability to write correct English.
As for the attitude, its impossible not to have one when considering trolls, especially those who can see no further than their noses and whose understanding of words of more than three letters is a blank.

The Artist may well be spot on. If you check the origin of the recent negative press, againt Newcastle, you will see that it mostly originates from News Group ie., News of the Screws and the Sun.

What is their agenda? I don't know, but the best response is to do what the Liverpool fans did,after Hillsbrough, and "vote with your feet" ie., don't buy their rags. You'd get more news in the Dandy anyway!

.... the origin of the word 'imbecile' deos not come from a village in Somnerset or wherever.

It's from Latin, via middle French. In it's original form it literally means not having anything to rest upon.

In the linguistic ranking stakes, an imbecile is one small step up from an idiot - the lowest of the low.
