Is this supposed to be satire?
Is this the world i'm living in and where my grandkids have to grow up in?

I am speechless!

It was well written and to the point.

Did it make you think?

Then it has done its job!

It isn't even trying to be funny.

It is pure satire and shows how stupid the NRA stance has always been.

Lets hope everyone forms that opinion Marky.
You get it and i get it but satire can be dangerous and cruel.As certain "hoaxes" have proved in the last few days.

I completely agree Mark

Don't get me started on how they treated the young Aussie DJs.

The nurse killed herself because she was treated like dirt by the hospital and her work mates.

As for English newspapers trying to make some moral stand......give me a break.

They are the biggest pack of bottom feeders in the history of journalism!

They were cruel and vindictive what they said about the nurses before the suicide.

They applied the over the top pressure because royalty was involved and to sell more papers they took the popular holier than thou attitude.

The overkill when anything involves the Royal Family is ludicrous.

In the end the DJs were guilty of a tasteless prank that was not funny.

As per the suicide note, the rubbish heaped on the nurses by the same hypocrites condemning the DJs was the major factor.

This was, at the end of the day a "prank", just one of many that happen every day. Although this particular one was very serious, and yet another invasion of privacy, whether it be a member of the royal family, or a member of the public - nobody has the right to do that. This poor nurse, must have been beside herself with worry at the prospect of being questioned about giving information about a member of the royal family, but it isn't a crime, and certainly doesn't warrant taking your own life. There must have been other pressures here.
