It wouldn't even be pedantry, it would just demonstrate your inability to understand figurative language.Most certainly. Unless of course they actually were murdering them.

Contempt for people who use figurative language? So pretty much the whole human race?No it wouldn't. It would just demonstrate my contempt for people who use it.
Additionally, there are plenty of people, certainly on these boards, who are pretty thick, and really do think it's murder.

Talking to you is murder sometimes (and that's a literal dictionary definition)Pretty much. Especially lefty wallies though.
How dare you. My son is left-handed and from Wallington!Pretty much. Especially lefty wallies though.
I think it says something about you that despite you being a member of the intelligencia that you have the compassion to not just reach out but positively seek out and engage those that are pretty thick.No it wouldn't. It would just demonstrate my contempt for people who use it.
Additionally, there are plenty of people, certainly on these boards, who are pretty thick, and really do think it's murder, as a cursory inspection of the Brixton gangster thread will attest.
Sorry I've not really been following this thread (or indeed many of the important ones) recently as I've been a tad busy with life.I think it says something about you that despite you being a member of the intelligencia that you have the compassion to not just reach out but positively seek out and engage those that are pretty thick.
Can I just reassure A380 that I don’t include him in that category .

Not in my eyesSorry I've not really been following this thread (or indeed many of the important ones) recently as I've been a tad busy with life.
However I would like to state unequivocally for the record that I am indeed pretty thick...
It really comes down to if you think British troops should be there or not.
If you do, then for the most part you will feel there actions are justified, although there will be cases were some act outside of their orders, on the whole you will feel they are justified.
If you don't think they should be then you will see their actions as murder in the moral if not the legal sense. I don't like pinning the title of murderer on the average soldier following orders though. While we do make individual moral choices the real culpability lies higher up the chain and oftern more with politicians anyway.
On the other hand it's safer for people here if British troops aren't stationed in britain. Maybe we could as it were kill two birds with one stone by transferring the British army en masse to West Falkland, thereby removing them from where they can do much harm while in keeping with the join the army and see a bit of the world spirit.There is no justification for British troops being anywhere overseas; and no justification for the British armed forces existing in their current structure with class hierarchy and sworn allegiance to the monarch rather than to the people.
