There are a lot of Buddhists who seem to have forgotten that, just like a lot of Christians seem to have missed thou shalt not kill (it doesn't say murder in my bible ta very much). But yes the GP should stick to playing the banjo and screwing his relatives.
The best thing Blizzard did with WoW was to prevent pricks hanging around the newbie areas harassing new players. I've left plenty of MMOs because my first experience was being killed repeatedly while trying to get the hang of the game.
Yes of course the poor old bankers were forced to fuck up the economy by evil NuLab. Since when were New Labour left-wing in any case? Did you miss both Blair and Brown inviting Thatcher to Downing Street, did you miss the kissing up to Murdoch, did you ignore the fact that deregulation is mainly a right-wing thing? New Labour are very similar to the Tories and pretending they aren't is just nonsensical. In any case do you think the Tories wouldn't have deregulated and cut taxes had they still been in charge? That's what they did from 1979-1997.
It's very sad that someone from Holland has a better grasp of the mess the right made of our country (selling off council houses, throwing away manufacturing, selling off our public utilities to foreigners, the creation of Broken Britain) than you. A real Labour government would have reversed some of that but we got Tory Lite instead.
LloydsTSB and HBOS on the other hand are worth quite a lot and it has been completely forgotten by most people that as soon as bank shares start climbing significantly we can clear a lot of debt by selling our preference shares. I doubt Osborne has forgotten and is planning a tax windfall around about 2015 after the ConDems have used the deficit as an excuse to completely trash the public sector.
Not politicians, bankers. Those clowns who came up with the brilliant idea of toxic instruments and nearly brought down the world financial industry. Now I know I'm going to get jumped on by libertarians but at the end of the day it doesn't matter what the government of the US did first, the fact of the matter is that this was caused by lots of stupid rich people from all over the world.
Like the "defence" industry? I can't control their behaviour with my buying choices since I don't tend to buy jet fighters or missiles and yet they have huge influence in both my country and yours. The market sort of falls down there.
Because that data costs time and money to create. Your solution would be to have less data which would leave us all poorer in the end. It wouldn't just be the dross from the mass-market that disappeared, it would be the good stuff too.
Don't be silly - all open source software is identical if not superior to its closed source equivalents. Open Office is an exact replacement for MS Office, and Linux is a drop-in replacement for Windows. Even though Linux won't run any of the software you want to use there are equivalents for about 10 apps out of the tens of thousands and that's fine for everyone. At least that's what I keep being repeatedly told when I dare to suggest that you can't replace Windows with Linux on here.
Unless they all behave like that, as they do now. I don't know what the US insurance market is like, but the UK market is highly competitive with dozens of large and hundreds of small companies and yet they are always trying to avoid paying out where they can.
Which the insurance company will try very hard to avoid paying out on, just like they do now with car insurance, home insurance and health insurance. I have bought more than one car in my life and at no time was I expected to prove I had insurance on it. I've also had to fight an insurance company to get them to honour their obligations towards me.
No Libertarian arguments have ever convinced me that a world where big business is allowed to do whatever it wants with zero oversight will be a better one. But feel free to try, only this time without the childish insults.
There are a great deal fewer successful people in those countries for exactly that reason. Move there and see how easily all (not just a fraction) of your hard-earned money gets taken from you.

There is no phone but iPhone and no god but Jobs! The luminous one has decreed no Flash and so there is no Flash on the one true mobile phone.
That was more like $50.
You mean the death panels that don't, in fact, exist.
I won't be using it until at least the first service pack.
What we don't use surely?
Haha thank you for the smile :-) Someone mod this up please
The press' job is to sell advertising space. Controversial topics that are inconvenient to rich people are not welcome in this world.
Typical conservative. Some people might or do abuse the system so let's get rid of the system.

You also missed the fact that this country's economy wouldn't have been so dependent on the financial sector had the Tories not made it so.

I'll just mention the recent study that found most anti-depressants are no better than a placebo
That's just one study, not an established medical fact. It does give cause for concern and merits more research but doesn't prove anything yet.

The source of this story was the Daily Mail, that also brought us such superb journalism as this.
Oh how I wish...

The presenters are too loud on Radio 1 because you can hear them.

Yes that's why there was so little progress in the 20th century and so much in the preceding ones. Read a fucking history book some time.
