Yes. That.

Eh?

Phrased awfully.

There may be factors (emotional, physiological, social etc.) which make an individual more susceptible to committing a crime.

The problem comes then those factors are seen as the driving force behind the crime, as opposed to an aiding factor.

The solution to this problem would be a clear definition of when those factors come into play to describe the person as 'insane'.

I think i got it right that time...

Steve Kean is annoying me. How is he a Premier League manager? I'm not even a Blackburn fan but the fact he's still their manager bugs me. Tit.

If you deconstruct the arguments though, and assume society is only formed through it's rules, and it's judgements, then the fact crimes are commited are evidence of choice on an individual basis, and it is only when those choices go against the constructs of society, that in effect a crime is commited, and by the same argument whether behaviours meet standard judgements of normal behavior we could or could not actually argue that those people did not commit crime, and are sane, it is us, that are the insane criminals in the piece.......

Or not, just sayin.

Agreed. Lilly's track is lovely, his additions are stupid, at best, AutoTune pizzle at worst.

It's a bit crap. Seems like they were a bit too desperate for song ideas.

I don't even like the Lily Allen song, so it's a bad song made even worse to me!

The mere fact T-Pain is considered a musician is just an insult. No talent, can't sing, heinous overuse of autotune. It's ear rape.

Also annoying me, this hangover is slaying me.

What drinking makes you want to Do stuff?

That would be seen as possitive?

I've been off the drink again, day 30 today! Best abstinence EVA!!!!!

I am really surprised how good I feel, it is amazing. You have also noted from my posts that it has also made me more humourous, improved my spelling, and got me twilight rude-eeees, not sex whilst watching the films you understand, but companiable sexual gratification in the period when the sun ( and the wife) goes down.

"Oh I won't let the sun, go down on me, I won't let the son go down" which is as it should be.
