to draw your attention to this little-understood condition that destroys lives?

[MadameOvary]

Hi, I'd like to take a few minutes of your time to talk about a condition that really, really, needs widespread recognition.

I'm talking about EDD
Or Empathy Deficit Disorder

Symptoms can include:

1)Believing what you read in the Daily Mail

2)Voting Conservative

3)Posting judgemental shite on parenting forums.

4)Complete inability to step into another's shoes and feel some sympathy for their circumstances.

If you score more than three out of four, you too, may have EDD.

Thanks for reading.

PC totally gorn mad. Because of goats and their so called rights to equality, you're not allowed to object to those beardy wierdies wipping kiddies bums at nursery. I specifically told the head I only wanted pure bred Shetlands touching my kids.

I would just advise everyone to keep a very close eye on any goats in your area. I'm not saying it was them that caused 9/11 but I'm pretty sure they were involved, so do be cautious.

That should read "kiddies' bums". Because of goats, I can't punctuate.

Yes - I love feet

especially little tiny goat feet

Wasn't Osama Bin Laden hiding out in the mountains for years. He was a bloody goat!

TruthSweet is a kid-dy fiddler

don't get me wrong..my best friend is a goat, but he's different, he's not like the others...

surely we CRB check against that sort or thing?

See, you're all going on about goats and their behaviour but who are you to judge? Do you know these goats personally? They could be depressed goats who are afraid to admit it for fear they'll have their kids taken off them. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Honestly, only on mumsnet!

I just like cloven hooves - they are so quick to mani-pedi

surely everyone here does 3) ????

Where the hell did all this goat business come from? This is the second thread I've seen on it, I'm sure there weren't any goats about last night when I was on here.

see! they get everywhere!

BuckBuck, half the problem is just how many kids these goats have, usually by many different fathers. Why should I pay tax to pay for counselling for depressed goats when I have to pay for my own counselling on BUPA? In fact, these goats should be limited to 2 kids, and get their benefits cut if they bred more.

Missorinoco, that's exactly the point, turn your back for a minute and the blighters are all over the place, they need right thinking Daily Mail readers to watch them.

"breed more"

"right thinking people", not readers

bastard goats stole my brain cells.

Quite right machine whatever would we do without people like that looking out for all of us

I am the guardian of my Dad's Gmail account and you should see the shite he gets from his expat brother in Spain who dodged tax all his life and is constantly complaining about immigrants and scroungers

I am going to C&P the OP onto the latest message and reply to all.

And not wanting to butt in but I don't believe in goats.

Ah! You're one of those alpacaists aren't you? Trying to take over our country!

re OP - obv quite a lot of people vote conservative - so what you really mean is you don't agree with them, you vote differently - but its a democracy

Courtesy of MN I now fancy a goat curry. Yum.

Where's my leprechaun?

The splitters are creating false divisions between llamas, alpacas and goats. Sisters! We must defend ALL ruminants! One love! Hail the one true hoof!

I've got EDD AND a GFF (Government Funded Goat). But then I'm a recognised sociopath so I'm going outside to slaughter the GFF in cold blood. Because I can.

That is all.
