no, we don't have the death penalty because it's against international law which we have absorbed into our legal system because it suits those who have done it (ie Tony Blair in 1999, abolishing capital punishment for treason - which was his very next act!).
democracy IS the tyranny of the majority. It's two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. When the minority decide and enforce it through an oppressive regime (ie, unelected leaders, two such examples have occurred in the UK in the last ten years), that's despotism.
only at the larger ones such as the London 4, Birmingham International, Edinburgh and Cardiff. Maybe a couple more. The rest used to rely on APOs from local forces.
lol I have no idea on that, what I do know from training firearms authorised police officers in range marksmanship is that the "normal" armed response (airport cops aren't armed response, they're armed transport police) carry Glock 17s, Heckler & Koch MP5SF carbines, custom H&K G3 DSR (designated sniper rifles), Sig SG 516 AR-15 rifles, HK417 marksmen rifles, and Remington 870 shotguns.
To put you out of your misery immediately, the first image is of a Mossberg model 500 shotgun with a standard stock. The second image is also of a Mossberg model 500 shotgun with a pistol grip.
Senator Dianne Feinstein* would have you believe that the 500 Standard is "safe". She would also have you believe that the 500 Pistol stock is an "assault rifle".
IT'S A FUCKING SHOTGUN!
They're BOTH shotguns!
They're the SAME DAMN MODEL!
*yes, this would be the same untermench who was filmed during an anti-gun rally with an AK-47, her finger on the trigger and a magazine in the receiver - in a room packed with people!
After the NVA sacked the French in 1954, they spent the next TWENTY ONE YEARS handing the United States their collective arses, using nothing more than captured French small-arms and broken Chinese tanks.
Dr. Richard Daystrom (William Marshall), owner of the Daystrom Institute, inventor of the duotronic circuit and the M-5 Multitronic Unit ("The Ultimate Computer"). I daresay a MAJOR character, even though he only appeared in that one episode, though he did get a LOT of mentions elsewhere, particularly DS9 and Voyager, maybe once or twice in TNG as well.
I think Riley was the only Irish crewmember. Spock was, by one count (it might have been one of the books), the only Vulcan in Starfleet. For that matter, certainly the only Vulcan hybrid in Starfleet.
Jumping the thread a bit: AC at #52476455: there were no space hippies in Space Seed, I think you're referring to "The Way To Eden", which was all about space hippies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The episode which struck me, as a fan, as being pretty much the most controversial in TNG was "Up The Long Ladder", which wasn't even aired in the UK the first run round (1989). In fact, it wasn't aired until well after the DVD release.
So we're talking an average of 46 workers per restaurant.Going by the size of McD's in my area, I'd have to assume that these are all part time positions, even in the 24-hour venues.
The estimate seems to agree with this: http://www.statista.com/statis... which counts full time positions. Jobsharing schemes mean that three part timers fulfill one full time position.
Now, this costs the company exactly the same amount of money, but for those part timers, they have to take a second job because economics. In England, this means that the higher earning job is counted as fully taxable - which sucks, particularly given that both wage packets count towards the tax return. Also the in-work benefits are different, like company pensions, sick pay, and for those on zero hours contracts, not even a guarantee of work. You're precisely one paycheck away from being homeless.
I found the manual online: http://files.mpoli.fi/unpacked... the rest of it's probably there as well, I've not looked properly. It was first released in 1993. I still have a floppy with it on somewhere.

In 1969, a 16-year-old girl was molested by Savile while standing next to him on a podium during the filming of Top Of The Pops. She complained to a member of staff but was "ejected from the building and left on the street". That girl was Colleen Nolan.
In 1976, Savile molested a young girl on camera while filming Top of the Pops. She complained to an employee, who told her to get out of the way, as staff were trying to move a camera.
Douglas Muggeridge, then controller of Radio 1, launched an inquiry into rumours of Savile's behaviour in 1973 and also asked a press officer to investigate whether the rumours were known on Fleet Street. But Savile denied the allegations and the inquiry was closed. Police were not informed.
When a junior female employee at Television Centre complained to her supervisor that she had been sexually assaulted by Savile, she was told "keep your mouth shut, he is a VIP".
I mean, fucking SERIOUSLY?? Is size really the determining factor for you? I have two words for you: VIET NAM.
The NVA and their allies sacked French occupation then kept the United States covering their balls for TWENTY FUCKING YEARS.

interesting... so anything from 2600 cartridges to floppy disks...?
I still play SU-27 Flanker. The original one. With the half inch thick manual.
(have a copy of Win98SE on Virtualbox just to run that and Homeworld 2 Complex).
it would be neither, since a regulation soccer pitch is 115 yards long, and an American football pitch is 120 yards long.
it's a unit of length approximately equal to 1.609E+13 angstroms.
right in between Suffolk and Kent.
::rolleyes:: any more?
he was a: cuffed and b: subdued. The cop kicked him, walked away, came back then kicked him some more.
there's no Second Amendment in the UK.
(Stansted is in Essex).
only at the larger ones such as the London 4, Birmingham International, Edinburgh and Cardiff. Maybe a couple more. The rest used to rely on APOs from local forces.

put a firearm in the hands of a British cop, he thinks he's John Wayne. I shit you not.
Even when they're not carrying, they're still cunts.

there are armed police at all UK commercial airports now, have been since 9/11.
(source: asked an armed police officer at Nottingham East Midlands Airport last month as I was passing through).
That is all.
that one. I knew it was one of the Irish episodes. Written by the same person, too, if I recall.
Experiment time: look at the two images linked, and tell me what the difference is between them:

"Assault rifle" is a term invented by the mainstream media to scare people into thinking that guns are bad.
GUNS ARE TOOLS.
They are as good or bad as the individual holding them.
Two words: Viet Nam.

...as to why the Captain's Log was always concave at one end.
out of interest, how many restaurants did they open in 2008?
Asked then answered: during 2008 McD's opened somewhere in the region of 1100 restaurants: http://www.statista.com/statis...

They knew. They didn't want to do anything about it because he was too well connected.
