I assume you read it as a thing called public decency was being outraged, and since public decency is a concept not an animate object, it can't have feelings, and therefore not be outraged?

Makes sense to me: A woman called "Wendy Lewis" has confirmed that she broke the law buy urinating on, then performing an (unspecified) sex act in public, when she appeared at court to answer the charges. In the UK, public urination is illegal, as is public nudity and / or sex. To urinate on a memorial to those fallen in two world wars is definitely going to upset at least some members of the public. Which part is difficult - I'm not being funny, just curious?
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.
As per my response to our Shepherd above: 'No. After a couple of cups of coffee I blush looking back at this, but I'll own up: I read it as she had performed an act OF "outraged public decensy", not an act THAT "outraged public decensy". Sometimes I'm not nearly as clever as I think I am.' //L

Dunno, for two reasons: - I have a hard time with people who declare themselves to be superior to others, just because they believe that their values and desires in life are more important than others' values and desires in life. - You can't p1ss on the politicians who made important decisions and sent those poor boys to their deaths, so what are you left with to p1ss on?

Why Wendy Lewis, of course. The disrespectful c*** should be used as a urinal at the next veteran's day parade.

I'm not a veteran. I was too young to be drafted for Vietnam, and too much of a wimp to join voluntarily afterward. The best thing I can do is respect and support those who have served. I find this kind of thing utterly revolting and inexcusable :mad:.
