Wrong on so many levels. Unless it's a troll in which case, hey you win.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, most perceptions of WIlliam Wallace in popular culture are driven by that awful Mel Gibson film which could not have been more innacurate if it had a plasticene Grommit alongside Wallace. I can't speak for Quakers, but certainly a lot of settlers like the Puritans were intent on setting up their own theocracy in the new world as well as escaping persecution at home. Did Canada break free? I don't recall a Canadian War of Independence? No, it was done piecemeal and largely peacefully. I don't care if they have the Queen on their notes; at least no one pretends the British Crown is infallible like some of people in the US who believe the Founding Fathers were but a little lower than the angels. As to Civil War we've had ours thank you very much and it didn't solve much. Meanwhile the USA is full of far too many people who think that if you talk like Alan Rickman you must be the bad guy. Give me a break. We don't brainwash our kids every morning in school by making them worship a flag either.
Polemic? Yes, of course. I've visited the USA many times and have found most people to be regular guys. I don't form my opinions of the USA based on the National Enquirer and one chap who emigrated to England from the States who I met in the pub. I suggest you take a broader look around. The UK is full of idiots of all political shades and colours just like any other nation.
I don't want live in a country where you can't feel safe unless you have a gun. Fine. You do? Fine, your call. Just get a grip.
"No taxation without representation was English law". I don't think so. Rightly or wrongly, there were a lot of people who were taxed without the right of representation at the time. "No taxation without representation" was a radical concept at the time, and deserves to be recognised as such, but it wasn't English law.
"If one of the gods decided to actually show up and do some, you know, godly stuff". I refer you to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Granted, you may not wish to believe the event or the accounts, but it is a central claim of Christianity that God has involved himself directly and personally in the world.
I'd like to see proof of that one way or the other. There was a lot of discussion in the early days of Mono and Portable.NET about whether it would be problematic to write a C# compiler in C# because it would need the MS compiler to bootstrap. Furthermore, you'd need to distinuish between Microsoft's compiler and runtime (free as in beer) and Visual Studio (mine's a pint). Without being rude to the original post, this seems like it originated in FUD.
I have no vested interest, I'm just asking.
Maybe because smoking decreases your life expectancy so you don't get old enough to get dementia? OK, this is an uninformed comment (IANA medical researcher) but I suspect it has a grain of truth.
For those of us in the UK, there's always the IT Crowd. It's a bit hit and miss, but the second season seems to be hitting the spot more often compared to the first.
Surely you have to demonstrate that some intellectual effort went into the production of the ISBN for it to come under IP law in the first place (regardless of "ownership"). Presumably the publisher was just allocated a bunch of ISBNs and they just happened to allocat one of them this one book?
Shoot me down if you like. I'm not an expert.
Ironically, that displays a complete lack of understanding of what irony means.
Blackadder: Baldrick, have you no idea what irony is?
Baldrick: Yes, it's like goldy and bronzy only it's made out of iron.
Tell them to go back to the late seventies and tell them that the 8086 architecture is too simple and must be radically complexicated. Oh, they've already done that.
I think a lot of Brits have given up on the old definition of billion = 10^12, and they now settle for 10^9 to conform with American usage. Except the pedants.

After 12 deaths, you need hyper-advanced aliens from another planet to grant a new regeneration cycle? Does Davros take over? I'll explain later.

Ah, the threefold man is coming!

Davros is locked in the basement.
It's the DoctorDonna.
Am I bovvered, though?
I'm still waiting for my repelatron drive and my visitor from Planet X.
Second container on the left contains the Ark of the Covenant!

Who thought this was Insightful? We need -10 predictable as an option.

To start a rumour. A rumour that would cause a backlash against the PM. At the time that was first written aired, Tony Blair was looking tired, too.
Mine's a pint, chaps.
Yes. I think the 25p relates to max roaming charges across the EU, doesn't it? 10p for a text is much more common in UK.
Good suggestion. Against all expectations, "Blink" was pretty good.
Probably not. The Doctor's next companion is to be Kylie Minogue. Who needs Captain America?
Given that definition every transistor's source, drain and gate are nanoparticles. And we expect them to behave classically why? We don't. Transistors wouldn't work in a "classical" universe

Over three billion Henries? That's a damn big coil. Yes, I have nothing better to do than nitpick. Why do you ask?
That's a neat trick. I wonder how they can do that?
You are a Doctor Who fanboy and I claim my ten pounds.

No matter how good it is, it still reminds me of a child's name for urine.
