  1. Re:One in 12 of the population might disagree. on In the UK, a Plan To Criminalize Illegal Downloaders · · Score: 1

    According to the article, this is "a practice engaged in by one in 12 of the population". If that large a portion of the population think that something should not be illegal (and it's reasonable to assume that most people consider behaviour they indulge in should not be illegal), then perhaps their views should be considered rather than having them declared criminals. Perhaps though, Labour really wants to lose the next election. At least they consider losing 8.3% of the vote acceptable losses.

    You assume they have 8.3% of the vote anyway...

    ah, and here i was being naive thinking that anti-muder laws stopped all murder. fyi, there are specialist police armed units, who have considerably more training than your average street cop (and by training i mean in the police force, not in high school). when things like virginia tech and columbine happen, i dont think *any* american can lecture another country about gun control.
