The US was founded by ignorant religiously intolerant bigots (they didn't come here for freedom of religion, but freedom for their and only their religion) who form no plans and can't even follow good plans when handed to them on a silver platter.
You paint the entirety of settlement of the US by one colony. Sorry, but some colonies were most certainly founded under the auspices of religious freedom, having it their original charter.
You are mistaken - the Statute of Westminster 1931 and the ratification of said statute in Australia and New Zealand established the independence of several British dominions, including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Each country is independent, and each is a country.
And since the US was around before 1931, it backs up the person who said we were oldfags.
>>> the police have no responsibility to give the recording in full to the defense
Yes they do. If it's later discovered they were withholding evidence, the defendent is automatically freed because he didn't get a fair trial. So the police have a responsibility to turn over everything (else they'd just be stupid).
It depends on whether or not there is exculpatory evidence on the tape and/or on the quality of the discovery motion. In many states, the police and prosecutors can tap dance around this with little or no concern for appellate reversal or civil suits.
I believe OP was using the car vs. house thing to illustrate income disparity within the US. The further implication is that those who are wealthier (the person with the pricey car in his example) are those who the police do not bother. This happens not as a result of differences in crime rates, but because of differences in power within society.
Either that or he was talking about Chaucer's Endless Summer.

Came for the slagging of New Yorkers. Left satisfied.
IE mostly comes at night...
Mostly.
Take off, nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to get rid of IE6.

Well look at his user number...they should have stopped at 100,000 and allowed invites only...
FTFY.
Ahh, yes, that lovely golden age of slashdot when first posts didn't make fun of exes, but did have recruitment statements for GNAA.
I thought it better than 3/4 of the TNG films, and at least one of the TOS films.
Oh, BTW, it looks like the 10th anniversary of Nemesis is this December.
It was a lot better than Nemesis, Insurrection, The Final Frontier, and probably Generations as well.
Might be useful for discussion. Search Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness at TVTropes, I'd direct link it but I don't want to be a dick.
I don't mind.
The last Star Trek movie was surely at least 10 years ago (Nemesis).
YUNOLOVE JJ Abrams?
First they came for ARM on the desktop, and I didn't speak because I didn't care...
You got that right.
Take 300 shots a day, and throw away 290.
Piker. I guarantee at least 299 of my shots are junk.
You're either old as dirt or you got into your father's record collection.
As of the last time I checked, her Facebook page was still available.
Link?
Precisely. You are following Peter, Paul, and other people; not Jesus.
Screw that. I'm a Ringo man until the day I die.
Or did you mean "Mary man"?
Given one connotation of that phrase, not a chance.

" He is Mormon, but what he said in that quote is not in contradiction to Darwin's theory of evolution."
His God lives on the planet Kolob, so perhaps we could ask him with a new SETI app.
I thought the Cylons controlled Kolob now?

Will question headlines ever go away?
Betteridge has an answer to your subject line: no.
Exactly!
Whats the current status of vi vs emacs?
How's the latest build of NetBSD doing?
Is this the month were Dvorak says Apple is beleaguered or is it even numbered months?
More important, are your hot grits naked and petrified? What is Natalie Portman up to?
Windows 2000 falls under "NT 5" so the claim still holds :)
Well, Nemesis sucked, so there are exceptions to these rules.
QUALITY of care was of no importance whatsoever.
So you're saying that women make bad doctors, and that men are even better as ob/gyns?
No, he said that quality was orthogonal to the issue. It simply did not factor in.
Are you being purposefully obtuse, or did you just read GP comment too quickly?
I actually prefer to watch baseball.
But yes, there is no more accessible sport than soccer. To play.
To watch? Not so much. It's better than golf, but not by much.
You're gonna need a third, because I'll likely set you on fire for using propane.
