Violent crime in the UK is LOW? Are you TAKING THE PISS? Violent crime is extremely high. You can't walk down the street without fear of being mugged, raped or murdered. And because of pointless* gun-control laws, only the muggers/rapists/murderers have any guns. What a peaceful and nice place to live!
* I say pointless, because gun crime has increased 40% since guns were banned.
Fine, if you're too much of a spineless coward to defend yourself, then don't. When someone comes to mug/rape/murder you, just bend over and take it like a good little sheep. Then when someone comes to mug/rape/murder your wife/children, just tell them to bend over and take it. You wouldn't want to risk defending them.
I, on the other hand, will defend myself and my family to the death. I am sad that you don't agree with my philosophy, but then again, I care about the lives of my family and myself more than the lives of worthless criminals.
Sorry, I thought this discussion was about the legality of guns, not having a gunless society. The two are completely seperate. For instance, in Britain, gun crime has increased DRAMATICALLY since guns were banned.
Personally, I don't see the sense in banning guns, and only allowing criminals to own them, whilst leaving the law-abiding population at their mercy.
Changing currency wouldn't do anything for prices. Anyone who says otherwise is dellusional.
The Euro hasn't even been going long enough to see how succesful it will be, and whether surrendering economic independence is actually a good thing. Argentina tied their currency to the dollar, and look where they are now.
They haven't opted out, they just haven't opted in. There hasn't even been a refurendum yet. Denmark is the only country which has had a refurendum, and they said no.

I'm the same drsquare who posts to comp.os.linux.advocacy, if that's what you're wondering.

No, I don't have a TiVo. To be honest, I don't even know what one is. I've heard them discussed, but all this technology stuff just confuses me.

I wouldn't no where to get any drugs or beer from, and I wouldn't know how to pick up even a slutty chick.

You all go out and enjoy new year. I'll be stuck inside, by myself. Friendless, relativeless, sober, miserable, whilst everyone else in the world is having a great time. God I hate new year.
I've got nowhere to go out, no-one to go out with, nothing to drink, and I haven't the slightest clue on how to get laid. What do you want me to do? Go to bed at 9pm?
Well sorry, we're not all mind-readers, and we have better things to do than spend hours every day stalking people and putting mindprobes in their brains to find out what they want.
If you think the BBC is any better than ITV or Channel 4 you're delusional. The only decent programs are on in the middle of the night, and even then most of the time you get teletext with crap music, or the testcard.
If you think it's worth paying over a hundred quid a year for endless gardening programs, cookery programs, soaps, repeats and fly-on-the-wall documentaries, you're wrong in the head.
No, you don't get a few good channels. You get two channels (unless you have digital or sky), and if you think they're any better than the other channels you're dellusional. It's just ITV and Channel 4 but without the adverts.
I wouldn't mind, but you have to pay for it even if you don't watch it! I mean, what the fuck?
If it's anything like the normal discovery channel, it will be unwatchable due to all the FUCKING ADVERTS. You can barely watch it without 15 minute advert breaks cropping up every 5 minutes. It's almost painful to watch.

Or why don't you buy the $80 CPU, and then overclock it to the speed of a $100 CPU?
"Then buy a $100 CPU" I hear you cry. So then buy a $100 CPU and overclock it ot a $120 CPU...etc.

I would add to this, but I've already lost my only ever positive mod point, and I don't want my karma to be negative.

Why the hell do you need a spell-checker? Can you not afford a dictionary or something?
But if you're any good at getting women, you won't have to resort to marriage, you can move onto another one when you get tired of them.

Fuck off. I already pay through the nose for their fucking licence fee. I'll record whatever I fucking want.
Yes...classically redundant. I give this post -1, redundant.
Except for the small fact that English uses a maximum of 52 letters (including capitals). Can you say the same about Chinese?
So, how is it going to be chmodded? Magic? How is it going to run on a non-executable partition? Magic again?
And I suppose nearly all of those average idiot scumbag end-lusers install Windows by themselves.
At least try and make it a fair comparison.
Sorry, I didn't realise there was a time limit.
Maybe you should ring up Linus and tell him to stop writing the kernel. He's obviously passed the 10 year limit, so he'll have to give it all up.
If Frodo and Sam are sidelined, that's going to make half of the Two Towers somewhat difficult.
