    LOL, modded insightful? (1) USA hasn't been puritan for 200 years. (2) America is larger and more diverse than Europe. Just look at a map. (3) We don't teach abstinence accross the board. Every town decides what it will teach, and there are roughly 70% more areas that decide on their own than Europe has combined. Where do you get your information?

    might be time to improve your reading skills Ac dude

    erm.. more diverse than just over 200 languages? and just as many ethnic/cultural groups?

    then we have the cultures/languages/ethnic groups of those who have immigrated here from outside Europe.. so erm... yeah we are probably far more culturally and linguistically diverse than the USA

    let's just take a look at the "UK"

    there are Scots, english,Irish and Welsh... but you all speak english i hear you say....... erm... no... not at all....

    in Scotland alone we have Gaelic,English,Doric,Lallans AND English as languages.. all recognised as languages officially

    England they have English of course and also Cornish,Manx and a few other dialects/labguages(mostly offshoots of gael languages like Cornish and Manx but disticnt in their own right)

    wales you have Welsh Gaelic and english.. there might be some i do not know about but those two certainly

    Then to Ireland and you have Gaelic of the Irish Flavour and also Ulster-Scots and English

    and that's just the British isles

    geographical area != diversity my friend

    At any rate the EU colelctively has a HIGHER POPULATION THAN THE US.. comprende?

    As of 1 January 2010, the population of the EU is about 501.26 million people

    source wikipedia

    The United States has a total resident population of 309,449,000.

    source right here
    so before you open your mouth and let your belly rumble my friend maybe check out the facts first. then again seeing as how you posted AC and thus didn't have the balls to stand behind your comment then

    i rest my case... :-)

    according to this moron and her moronic husband you can get pregnant from porn!!!

    An American woman claims she became pregant after watching a 3D porno.


    US military man Erick Jhonson came home from a stint in Iraq to find that his wife was pregnant. Clearly he assumed she had an affair, but his wife Jennifer claims the “other man” was actually someone a little less physical.


    It seems he actually buys her story, however. “I see it as suspicious. The films in 3D are very real. With today’s technology, anything is possible,” he said.


    What's even more interesting is that both Jennifer and Erick are white, but the child is black. Jeniffer claims the kid looks like the black pornstar she had been ogling. She also claims this was one of the first times she's watched porn and only went with friends for the 3D effect. TechEye did a survey of one person and found 100 percent would say the same thing in a similar situation.


    “Even though my husband believed in me, my marriage could be at risk,” Jennifer said. “But he knows I’m faithful.” It just shows you what joining the military does to your head.


    Jennifer explained that “a month after watching the movie, I started feeling dizzy and the results were positive.” That must have been one good porno.

    3D movies have gained renewed popularity since Avatar, but there have been some concerns raised over how bad they may be for your eyes. Now you'll have to worry about conceiving in the cinema.


    You may have jumped when an object in film was thrown at the camera, but now you'll have to be careful of other, far more uncouth things flying at you. TechEye recommends contraception for your next trip to the cinema. You never know.

    Soldiers can't be charged with conduct unbecoming for bad behavior unless they are in uniform, so why should it be different?.

    in the British Army Yes they can, and the other services here too under Section 69 C of the Army Act 1955 in that they brought the Army in the disrepute

    in this way a soldier can be charged by civilian authorities, get find guilty and THEN get done by the Army AS WELL under 69 C

    it's a form of two charges for the same crime in a sense. As i was a soldier and have had this done for some drunken road sing collecting antics whilst serving in Germany in 1988 i know this well. and it's a VERY common thing to happen when you have been charged by the civilian authorities. sometimes you don't even need to be charged by the civilians to get this military charge. the investigation is enough to bring the wrath of section 69 C down upon you.

    thus uniform NOT required at all for charges under military law.

    They would if, for example, none of the videos on YouTube would play until they did.

    Doubtful. They'd more likely seek out another site that is compatible with their devices.

    while not being a coder of any way shape manner or form i DO greatly appreciate the open source community and it's ability to spread the open source love to ALL platforms easily and effectively.

    your assumption that people would dump youtube if they changed over to an open source solution is utter asshattery.

    if youtube/google DID do this then when you got to their site then it'd most probably announce this in the run up and say "we are moving over to [insert codec here] please go to this link and download and install the appropriate version for your operating system"

    and a similar notice for when a change over happened. it's not like google don't have the resources to carry off such a feat and the open source community, i would imagine would be back it to the hilt.

    Plug a normal touch tone phone directly into the BT master socket.

    Dial 17070, press option 2 (quiet line test)

    You should hear 'Quiet Line Test' and then silence, there should be no pops, clicks, whistles, buzzing etc. If there is noise on the line, make sure it's not your phones connection to the socket (wiggle it about a bit) and that you are using the master socket. If you are sure its the line making the noise then dial BT (or WorldOnline) and report the fault, they should be able to sort it out. Remember that 'mis-reporting' a fault (e.g. if it turns out to be your phone, extention cord etc.) may be charged a call-out fee by BT (/WOL).
