That sums it up nicely. I was thinking of pm-ing them, so as not to make it public (and thus more embarrassing). I've put a few 'heart' likes on some posts at least.
Thanks for all the replies. It's given me courage to try to help, though I'll tread carefully.
None in front of me, but then again, I mainly know them from the work place, where they put on a bright persona. We're not really close and I don't know if the memes really mean anything, but then again, I don't know if they do. I know they quit work due to mental health issues, and I have just...
As there are people on this board with a whole load more experience than me, I thought I'd ask for some guidance.
I have a young (much younger) acquaintance - a previous co-worker - who I have recently befriended on Facebook. I know there are mental health issues, although this person comes...
Reminds me of something I read a while ago, something along the lines of:
There is a secretive sect which congregates beneath the ground. In their gruesome rites, they consume the flesh of babies and drink their blood. This perverse practice, they claim their founder exhorted them to do! In...

Yeah, but it makes for great literature. Brunhilde V Kriemhild in the Nibelungenlied is central to the whole plot. The face-off in front of the cathedral is epic.
There's a sad recognition that binary democracy in the modern world is inadequate on many levels, as it lacks the vision to evolve, and preserve the freedom from which it was born. It is ridiculously easy to polarize and split, and serves to uphold vested interests of one kind or another. Still...
In the schools I went to, religious education was seen as a joke. a 'doss' subject where you didn't have to work and could tease the prude teacher with quasi-sexual questions. What I remember of it was a beleaguered older lady stoically standing in front of a class of teenage boys, trying to...
The key thing is that the ruling defends Parliament against demagoguery. If they had ruled it was legal, the floodgates would have been opened for any future Prime Minister to dismiss Parliament on a whim. Those who fall asleep in a democracy, wake up in a dictatorship.
