Comments on: Steyn on the world’s conscience http://sbbs.johnband.org/2004/10/steyn-on-the-worlds-conscience/ As fair-minded and non-partisan as Torquemada. Wed, 07 Mar 2012 07:16:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: Backword Dave http://sbbs.johnband.org/2004/10/steyn-on-the-worlds-conscience/#comment-856 Tue, 12 Oct 2004 12:55:00 +0000 http://sbbs.johnband.org/?p=519#comment-856 I read the Steyn piece after I heard about it on Matthew Turner’s site. (Funny really, as I normally don’t bother with him.) Just because he makes one decent point doesn’t excuse the foul tone. It may well be better to die like an Italian, but heroism is, by definition, something you can’t ask of people. As always, Steyn seems to really hate most people in this country – you wonder why he bothers addressing us.

Billy Connolly may not have been funny, but he was a lot closer to articulating the thoughts I’d rather not (especially if Michael’s point about the context is correct – ie that the joke was on the media).
