Julia the word "senile" is an adjective that describes the state of a medically recoqnised condition. Who said we cannot use it anymore?I don't think we're allowed to use the term 'senile' any more, but if we were, that's what could rightfully be said about Gaddafi. His relatively few original brain cells have now been eroded by old age.
well it's been 20 years since the man stood in the limelight give him a break
What shocks me is how these people can get into power when you look at Gaddaffy. Mug Arbie , Dinnerjacket et al how stupid are their followers, I realise they are d!cktators and they know how to control and use their powers.
I am sure they have a different DNA make up to Western people and therefore we will never win against them.
Who with the IRA?
Lets find a safe place for Gadaffi in New York to pitch his tent
Any suggestions ?

When I lived in New York, which was for nearly six months, the accepted rule if you valued your personal safety, was never to go above 100th Street. The higher the street number - you were getting close to Harlem, the bro's and the hood.
I'd suggest he erect his tent up around 120th street - I'm sure the New York mayor would probably help arrange this!
cheers
The others are Rudd staffers and delegates who fell asleep earlier.

Thanks for your response Julia. Your original remark didn't read that way and I thought you may have gone up the PC alley.Snake, I don't think I said you can't use it any more. It's simply a term that was used prior to the increased understanding that we now have that this condition is what we presently call dementia, and in particular Alzheimer's as a sub-set and the most common form of dementia.
The word 'senile' had fallen into quasi colloquial use in often inappropriate contexts. e.g. if someone not at all likely to be suffering from a dementia forgot where they had put their keys, it was very common for them to say jokingly "I must be getting senile".
Does that answer your question?
