Shots fired outside Houses of Parliament

They're not machine guns. They are single shot only, not fully automatic. The UK police do not carry fully automatic weapons, which is what a machine gun is.

MP5s do full auto burst or semi auto. Omitted Lee they might have modified ones that prohibit or prevent full auto. I doubt they look much different though.
 
When I used to ride the Chiltern's line (to which I look back fondly, my god I hate southern rail), the sign read 'Please, keep your feet off the seats'.

The comma added humanity, if not an element of passive-aggression, to the request.
Spot on. It absolutely does both those things.

tbh wilf just comes across as insincere without the comma.
 
I'm not "conceiving it purely by rationality". Just because there are different types of mental illness doesn't mean that irrational delusions aren't one of them.

So there are mental illnesses which exist purely as 'irrational delusions' (of which Islam is an example), or Islam contains 'symptoms' of other categories (e.g. disorganised thoughts)

logic here seems to be that anyone with an irrational belief is mentally ill. which makes all of us.

Actually saying both iterations aloud makes me rethink that.

'Please keep your feet off the seats' doesn't sound passive aggressive, but it is passive, in a weary way.

'Please, keep your feet off the seats'' has more oomph to it. A muscular quality. If a little sharp.

It has a weary Do I really have to say this? quality to it.

I approve.

To a degree thats probably true. But most personality disorders and mental illnesses exist to varying degrees. Religion involves belief in things that simply arent there, which makes it at the more severe end of delusion. Plus it can motivate violent behaviour. But as it is an illness, even in a peaceful form it is a threat to society because the afflicted engage in coordinated attemts to afflict others.
 
There was a comma and I italicised, it was like sincerity central. Oh, sorry, sincerity central.

But as 'please fuck off' it was weak, limp even. A little smug.

'please, fuck off' on the other hand would convey authority, the grown up, a serious person.

The former relies upon the backing of others. The latter stands upon its own gusto.

Something to think about
