    Jane Austen is irrelevant, I always thought that the Queen was a woman so there is already a woman on a 10 UKP note.

  3. Re:Probably Not Enforceable Anyway on Dentist Who Used Copyright To Silence Her Patients Drops Out of Sight · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My ex-wife does catering for local hotels, i.e. she rents their restaurants and runs them for them. So I know a little bit about the local hotels. Last year a friend wanted to stay in my city but he wanted a top end hotel and my ex works with the mid range hotels so apart from asking her advice I looked at the internet sites. Most had very similar comments. Several comments were very obviously professionally written and I could even see the same style of writing in several comments. Anyway, one hotel interested me. It had several comments including a story about room service stealing a guests mobile phone and about how the guest was very badly treated by reception when they complained. There were lots of replies and debate about how terrible this was. The story interested me because I knew that the hotel had not opened yet and had not employed any staff.

    The hotels hire advertising companies who will write glowing stories about the hotel (lies) and write bad stories about the opposition. I am talking about hotels but I am sure that the concept applied to all areas of debate on the internet.

    Not letting poor people die of preventable illnesses vs. censorship?

    Point one, America is no where near getting the health care options that the UK has. A good free system as well as excellent private options. Or to simplify that, the US does not have any health care options that are not available in the UK but the UK does have health care options that are not available in the US.

    Second point, the UK is going to filter it, bad, the US spies on its people and will arrest you for accessing it, worse.

    Point two has a lot of scope for discussion but do not start propaganda from Fox News.

    You arrogant little shit. So non American people are OK to murder? You are a racist and a good example of why the US is so hated around the world. In the US you are far more likely to be murdered by a policeman than a terrorist but hey, lets go and murder a millions of innocent people around the world. Why do you think that there are people that want to kill Americans? It is because of shits like you that think that it is OK to kill their wives and children. You are the real cause of terrorism.

    Why would they hide if they are in Russia? There is no option of extradition from Russia so they just get on with their lives. In reality they will wait a few years until they are forgotten and change their names to get a new passport in a new name and they will be free to travel etc. just like anyone else. The US likes to make out that it runs the world but it is only Europe and south America that can stop laughing when the US barks.
