Ophelia Benson is talking sense on the strange multiculturalism being practiced in organising a Muslim cultural festival. Because gay Muslims aren't cultural, or something. I think I'm getting to the point where I look out the window and see all these funny colours. Perhaps someone slipped some LSD in to my hot chocolate this morning. Might account for the strange behaviour of my Mac. 

Erik Barzeski: "But really, any Internet filtering software usually has one major problem: the kids are smarter than the parents and will find ways around it anyway." 

I agree with this. PC World are useless except for when you need something in a hurry. The staff there are often beyond clueless. Now, I'm not a Windows expert (I have a partition, but stopped really using Windows back with '95), but they've dispensed advice which is total and utter bullshit to my parents before. I go in there to play with the three Macintoshes they have in stock and to buy the odd bit or bob (cables mostly). But buying online is so much more pleasurable.
