    I'd rather side with the wife-beater than the government on this one. Why? Simple logic. I am nobody's wife, so whoever enjoys beating up his wife is no threat to me. Government, on the other hand, ...

    Any job you offer me better pays enough for me to live on it. If not, I'm better off killing you and taking your money. Either I got the money or a warm place, food on my plate and even security watching over me.

    Mandate? Perish the thought. It will just become so inconvenient to lead your life without it. Much as those tracking devices everyone of us has in hits pockets. You won't be able to buy anything online anymore or order a pizza. Or at the very least it will cost a lot more doing it via phone or internet.

    People will want those things and even pay for the privilege of having them.

    For once the EU actually does something to the benefit of the average Joe, but rest assured you find some dimwit to complain about it.

    As far as it needs to go to make repairing possible.

    The good news for you is that here in the UK it's likely the hard left Labour party will get into power in the next 5-10 years, mostly thanks to the growing Muslim population and the leftist indoctrination system they call education.

    Dude, that's unfair. Hate her all you like, but you can't deny that May worked long and hard to make this possible.

    Why don't we change the system so that it encourages and promotes human survival, procreation and happiness rather than greed and criminal wasting of resources.

    Now where's the profit in that?

    Well, it does actually crash from time to time, depending on the amount of stuff on your desk, your eagerness to make room, its position and your general clumsiness, but so far the worst that happened to me was a full reset of the thing.

  12. I don't care who likes to be filmed. I care about police doing their work within the boundaries of legality. If that means they shoot someone because they feel threatened and that was warranted, good. If that means that they shoot someone cold blooded who surrendered and they get into trouble for this, good.

  13. Yes, yes, I know it sucks to be a police officer rather than switching sides, no need to rub it in...

    Just because they get their rhetoric from Joseph Göbbels doesn't mean that we should.

    Yes, that's what Jakarta needs: More motorcycles and the horrible accidents that come with them.

    And before someone answers, this is more a statement about the way people drive in Indonesia than motorcycles. I love my bike. But I'm not suicidal enough that I'd drive it there.
