He didn't shoot, he seldom scored,
In fact he never tried;
And when the final whistle blew
He didn't pass - he died.

Nice cedilla, but wrong thread?
François-Marie Arouet, aka Voltaire.
:-) Touché!
Question Author
Alright, good accents all round, but have you actually READ M.Arouet’s major works?
With all due respect, you pointed him at me - though for what reason I'm unsure.

Mamalynne. I am nothing if not polite, so I will answer you.

You wrote: “I don't really let what's on TV affect me much - if they've sanitised it they must have their reasons odd though it is.”

“...they must have their reasons” sounds just the sort of wide-eyed optimism displayed by Pangloss in Candide. Everything is for the best in this the best of all possible worlds (or similar). It struck me that your apparent worldview (“they must have their reasons) was pure Panglossian logic.

It’s the sort of belief in the essential goodness of everything that says ‘they might be going to burn us but at least they’ll hang us a bit first’ - not a quote, but it could be.
