Is it just me, or does the press grow increasingly more lame by the day??

I dunno, this article seems to be standard MSM fare--humanize the monster and blame something nameless and faceless for his monstrosity, like decent, law-abiding citizens.

I think you slipped G- that's a different article, different paper and different subject with a VERY similar headline.

As I noted in when I forwarded this article to a friend in the USA, I regard this as a cautionary tale. If this young man had the opportunity to hear and respond to His message, he would probably still be free and we would be a bit safer. Teenagers with a spiritual void are open to all kinds of destructive behaviour whether it's crime, drugs, promiscuity or cults. We all need to be vigilant and we should all be prepared to point someone in the right direction if the opportunity arises, before someone else seizes to opportunity to point them in the wrong direction. In most cases we'll fail but I'd rather try first before writing off a soul.

One of his devout friends in England sent him a desperate e-mail asking for help in beating an addiction to pornography.

Hmmm....Let's see, guilty b/c you're a habitual wanker?

Christianity's answer: Pray about it. Go to confession. Try to stop.

Islam's answer: Do your penance by plotting to murder Westerners who are 'responsible' for the blue movies that get you all hot and bothered.
