Sometimes I wonder just what it is exactly that keeps society held together when you consider just how many numbnuts are out there.
No kidding! It’s as if you could create the most ridiculous rumor you can possibly imagine and you would gain a following. It’s astonishing. How about this one: if we don’t start getting cars back on the road, the roads will break up and float away into space! Pot holes are proof it’s already happening!
Most of the time, most of us don't want to hurt others, or the consequences of doing so are harsh enough to deter you.

I like to believe that means that there are more of the former, and less of the latter.

Irrationality is the driving force in market leading to boom and bust cycles.
> The Birmingham NHS Nightingale Hospital is located in the NEC exhibition centre, best known for its hosting of dreary tech shows.

Why is this news article so opinionated, and why are they attacking an exhibition centre for something so unrelated to the news story?

Because it's The Register, it's their house style.
Yeah, as a regular El Reg reader I wouldn't consider it an attack, more playful ribbing.
Not to mention that the Register being from the UK, undoubtedly they have attended every single one of the mentioned tech shows. Their grumbling is not only in character but also likely justified.
We over here at HN have our own house style.
