Yes, I've found Tarantino films to be representative of every day life.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Girlfriend had locked herself in the bathroom. Pistorious shot at the door 4 times and then broke in with a cricket bat. (according to his testimony)

Must have been pretty mad, she succeeded in closing the door before he could put his foot in.

Why is this story getting so much news coverage, over here on several different channels it's been the main news story for several days ?

For me, I guess it's a good litmus test for lazy journalism and news programmes that have given up their news gathering ethos, preferring to peddle sensationalism and little more than celebrity gossip, rather than the important things going on in the world.

The only important thing going on in the world is the Syrian civil war, and there's nothing new on that right now.

Conceded.  Looks like the competitive portion of that game is over though.

Really ?

There's a good one over here not being covered much, in April around 10% of our electricity generating capacity is being de-commissioned.

In large part due to short termism in UK politics, something as basic as power supply is going to be somewhat problematic for the next 4-5 years.

They do this because we - the viewing public - have told them and keep telling them this is the stuff we want.
