What do they post about? I need to see

His 7 posts were all new threads about daily mail articles. Nothing spectacular.
The Daily Mail makes an effort to demonize sharks every chance they get. Take this recent example:
[url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2222419/Thats-bad-fish-Real-life-Jaws-scenario-ill-tempered-shark-circles-photographers-boat-hours.html[/url]
[quote]Brave Sam Cahir [b]refused to panic during the real-life Jaws scenario[/b] - getting in the water with his camera to capture these incredible shots.
Australian Sam had been taking part in a Great White tagging trip when he found himself face-to-face with the [b]deadly predator[/b] off the Neptune Islands, South Australia.
[b]Predator: Sam Cahir had been taking part in a tagging trip in the Indian Ocean when he found himself face-to-face with the vicious fish[/b]
Snappy temper: The Shortfin Mako shark - [b]which have been known to attack humans[/b] - eventually left after eating tuna baits thrown into the water
But incredibly, despite the fear factor, Sam believes sharks need [b]MORE[/b] protecting.[/quote]
And then they add this entirely irrelevant claim to the article:
[quote]In June 2010 Britain's top shark-hunter Frank Vinnicombe told how a 13ft [b]man-eater[/b] tore through his mackerel catch.[/quote]
I've seen them call [i]nurse sharks[/i] man-eaters. Even the comments call them out on their shitty sensationalist and damaging reporting.
[b]Here are the facts:[/b] [quote=Shark Attack File]Danger to humans - Unprovoked bites on swimmers have been recorded. [b]Unprovoked bites on divers are rare.[/b] However, its speed and aggressiveness, particularly around speared fish, indicate that it should be regarded with caution.[/quote]
[quote]ISAF statistics records [b]forty-two shortfin attacks on humans between 1980 and 2010, three of which were fatal, along with twenty boat attacks.[/b][25] The mako is regularly blamed for attacks on humans and, due to its speed, power and size, it is certainly capable of injuring and killing people. [b]However, this species will not generally attack humans and do not seem to treat them as prey[/b]. [b][u][I]Most modern attacks involving mako sharks are considered to have been provoked due to harassment or the shark being caught on a fishing line.[/I][/u][/b][26] Sharks can be attracted to spear fishermen carrying a stuck fish, and may slap them with cavitation bubbles from a swift tail flick. Divers who have encountered shortfin makos note that, prior to an attack, they will swim in a figure eight pattern and approach with mouths open.[/quote]
So I say from the bottom of my heart, [b][i]Fuck[/i][/b] you Daily Mail.
My nan reads the Daily Mail yet she wants to legalize weed and brothels, I think she just reads it for the funnies.
Hits it right on the head here especially the bullshit they print about disabled people. This man should of appeared at the Leveson inquiry.
My parents read the Daily Mail. Generally they're good people, but when he said that the Daily Mail infests I couldn't agree more. Sometimes the shit my parents have said makes me want to vomit. I've heard jabs at Muslims and Black people, hate for anyone living on unemployment benefits, homeless people and all immigrants. The day my Dad started talking to me about modern war in the middle east (even Libya) and started using the word "raghead" every other comment pissed me off to the point that I don't talk to him about it anymore. I find an excuse and change the subject.
So yeah, fuck you Daily Mail.

Fuck excuses, If I think my dad is wrong, I tell him so. Sure, i'll admit it, most of the time [b]i'm[/b] the one who's wrong, but it's better than keeping it in and not discussing it.

Well my parents read the Daily Mail, and it's only my dad who believes the shit they put in there, I still want them to change though. Wonder if I shown them this video it would change them?

Nah, sitting people in front of a screen and telling them [b]watch this[/b] usually puts people off.
wow he really needs to learn that he needs to keep the microphone near his mouth.
HOLY SHIT! Alom shaha was my physics teacher in 6th form! Nice to know hes hated by the daily mail!
A little ancedote on the daily mail - it famously endosed hitler's policy on the jews when he gained power. It's editorial stance has not changed at all since.
Also, interesting articles:

It may be uncyclopedia, but it's pretty near 90% percent accuarate .

So The Daily Mail is kind of like a British version of Fox News?
