Alan Turing Has Been Pardoned...
 

Am I the only one that finds it offensive?....

probably, yes. He was a war hero, invented modern computing, and happened to be born a homosexual. He should have been pardoned a LONG time ago.
What about this exactly do you find offensive?

That he needs to be pardoned - It suggests that he needs to be 'forgiven' for his sins...

ah, right. Your wording made it sound like you were offended that he had been pardoned...

Maybe I can get him to code some new chat bots for me :)

horrible horrible sad story about a true patriot and important individual. As bad as Oscar Wilde.

Nothing can be done to repair the damage done. One of the most brilliant mathematicians and computer scientists of our time.

Thank you,its a little too late.

the only thing i take from this pardon is that the british government finally admits what incredible jerks they have been back then
