    hmmmm... with what level of beer goggles? I will admit not havng looked at the pic since I am still at work (updating my system to the latest Intel compiler and libraries, full set of libraries for the first time, so I am more distracted with software goodness to peek at other well software).

      From the Beeb[^] Some idiot dresses like a fool, gets engaged to another fool (who shares the same fashion standards), and then leads her around on a leash. Yes, a leash. At this point, common sense alone would kick in and hopefully neither of these two will reproduce. Sadly, they feel the need to ride the bus, together, with a leash. As one might expect, the bus driver wasn't too keen, and asked them to get off. The goth couple are now claiming discrimination. Gag me with a riding crop Mistress, but WTF!!! Idiots!!! :mad:

      Years ago, at a buddy's stag, we chained him up for the night. By the time 4 AM rolled around, no one could remember the combination for the lock, so he and I took a bus from Kingston to Toronto to get an airplane home. The bus driver had no problems with my buddy wrapped up in chains, but at the ticket counter for the airline, they were a little suspect. A short while later, security and maintenance people arrived and the lock and chains were removed before we boarded the flight. :) Oh and yes, alcohol was involved. :cool:

        Honestly, they don't bother me at all. Eventually, he's going to lose respect for his "pet" and the "relationship" will end. I don't want to tell people how to live. Nor do I want anyone telling me how to live. If they are happy and not bothering anyone else then so be it. At the same time, they do look like a couple of morons.

          Fools, maybe, but Idiots? No way. Look at how much attention they have so far and think of the attention they are yet to get as they fly to talk shows all over the world. Sometimes the fool is the one who becomes rich and famous.

            Bah..let them do what they want. Who cares? It's not hurting anyone else. If acting stupid was a bar to reproduction the human population would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

                Is it dumb ? Yes. But, so what ? I say let them get on the bus. Why do they act like that, except because they want attention ? I say don't give it to them.

                  I'd be hard pressed not to ask them about the leash and other things if I got on a bus and they were there. It's inherently interesting and far more so than the 52 year old business man in the seat behind. ;)

                    I hate to say this... but when someone forces me to tolerate this disgusting and pathetic behavior, they are in fact telling me how to live. By subjecting a bus full of people to this foolishness and expecting them to sit there and tolerate it, they were telling a bus full of people how to live. Life does not get better when everyone has to simply silently sit and tolerate whatever bullshit someone else feels is their "right".

                      What exactly are they forcing you to tolerate? They're not going to cause you any physcal discomfort or harm, are they? So what's the big deal?

                        Yeah, I don't have a problem with that. I more mean that people who do things like that, I think *hope* to be persecuted in some way, it gives them validation.

                          I don't consider them stupid because of the way they dress. That's just a bit... different. As long as they aren't hurting anyone, who cares?!

                            There are other types of discomfort other than physical discomfort. She could be giving him head on the bus, and that wouldn't cause me physical discomfort, but it's not something I'd want my wife or my daughter or my mother or my son to be subjected to. Nor would I particularly care to see it myself, and tolerating it would make me uncomfortable. I don't think you got the point.

                              Well, when you put it that way, you make a good point. They probably should save all the leash stuff for when they are at home. You're probably right.

                                    Yeah, I don't have a problem with that. I more mean that people who do things like that, I think *hope* to be persecuted in some way, it gives them validation.

                                    But hard to say really until you talk to them and ask about it. People probably act and dress differently for as many different reasons as there are people who do it. Sometimes people may do something just because they want to with no thought or care in the world how others will react then when they get a lot of negative reaction it may actually drive them to go the whole "we're being persecuted" route. It's age old really. Humans benefit greatly from conformity and herding but they never get anywhere new until someone goes against the herd in some way or another. It's this innate struggle in humanity which got us where we are today for bad or for good.

                                      I feel I must defend the couple. Arriva allow dogs on their buses, provided they are kept on a leash. Now I have seen her picture, and by god is that a dog! :) So they are only obeying the instructions!

                                      Oh come on, just because she's willing to be led around on a leash doesn't make her unattractive. I bet you 10 bucks she could be turned over to a hair and makeup and wardrobe crew, photographed by a top photographer and you'd be drooling all over the pictures. :)

                                        From the Beeb[^] Some idiot dresses like a fool, gets engaged to another fool (who shares the same fashion standards), and then leads her around on a leash. Yes, a leash. At this point, common sense alone would kick in and hopefully neither of these two will reproduce. Sadly, they feel the need to ride the bus, together, with a leash. As one might expect, the bus driver wasn't too keen, and asked them to get off. The goth couple are now claiming discrimination. Gag me with a riding crop Mistress, but WTF!!! Idiots!!! :mad:

                                        Shame, she looks attractive.

                                        Cheers, Vikram.
