My God, I didn't need to see that. That video made me cry. I hope she is caught and duly punished - I can give some suggestions as to how she should be punished.

Oh, gosh, I feel so badly about this. Let me register my disapproval in the strongest possible language, thusly: "Tsk."

And I would have thought that people who read ebooks could understand the difference between a political forum and a forum for ebooks.

Nah. You'd never believe how many threads get closed 'round here due to political disagreements......never mind piracy!

I read somewhere that no forum thread ever goes more than 6 posts before going well of topic.

Plus its a chance to bash Blair who could possibly turn down such an opportunity ? Is it true that some Americans think he was actually one of the good guys and a competent leader ?

People should do something useful instead of just talking about it.

Actually, we don't think about your leaders very much at all. We generally know who it is or at least can find a news article that mentions him (if we have to)

For the most part, we judge other world leaders by how much they agree with us. Now before you get your panties all twisted, be honest, isn't that what most nations/people do?

I had thought of going to a signing and, when TB asked me if I wanted him to write something in the book, I would ask him to write " I am a war criminal". Then I discovered that to get near him I would have to actually buy a book to get near him. Stilll, a nice thought.

Get one for me, please.

Splutter, cough...how dare you, what a ridiculous attitude to take....errrmmm......hang on....no, that's exactly what everybody does, of course.

You guys do tend to get a bit more criticism for it of course, what with being the most powerful country in the world and all

I wonder if Mr Blair attended an e-book signing that he risks being e-egged?

In my book that's communism, not socialism.

Interesting. I'd noticed the UK had flirted with communism. Now I see why.
