Ok, I'm not even a U.S. citizen and I can guess that the limit of political speech only can/does apply to those registered as political lobbyists (as the bill attempts to do for those PAID for their speech)
I know you're just trolling but whatever.
Google earth is lucky to be accurate to a year, let alone constantly updating.
Not all satellites are owned by the U.S. and all the images on google earth are those that have been made freely available anyway.
Computers cost money just like beaten up old cars, besides which funding never seems to have been a problem for the turrists.
What I said is not treasonous because:
a. it's not treason. And
b. I am not, never have been, and never will be a citizen of the U.S.
Also at the end of the day if you insist on poking them in the eye over and over again I don't feel any particular horror that they grab the stick off you and hit you with it every now and then.
If anything I've always been underweight and have only in the last couple of years managed to get it to a level where my BMI is considered to be normal and healthy.
I submitted that post from work.
Note: the "Also" above was in no way an allusion to 9/11, 9/11 was a horrendous act completely disproportionate to anything the U.S. had done immediately beforehand. Iraq however does not fall under the same heading.
Propaganda has always been a part of war.
Look up some depictions of the Japanese in America in ww2.
Or even better, the german "Hun" in England in ww1.
And say what, exactly? Terrorists also use cars, do we ask carmakers to explain? Google earth is just a very nice fancy map, do we ask cartographers to explain?
ugh, you got lucky, I'm in Australia and [unnamed massive company that I work for] has their email server somewhere in asia.
Emails all delayed for about 5 hours for two weeks, YAY!
for many crimes you are correct, however copyright is a civil matter where they sue you for damages, you can't be sued for damages that you intended to cause.
I DID look it up, I was being a smartarse.
And yes, I'll take general lawlessness over violent crime any day... Seems a pretty obvious choice to me, possessions can be replaced.
To summarise, the US beats the UK in:
Assaults
Murders
Murders with firearms
Rapes
Which would negate the need for the second amendment...
The Iraqi insurgency have AK47's and bombs, the right to bear arms doesn't include bombs and legal AK47's are too expensive in the U.S. to be of any use.
I'm not saying the right to bear arms is a bad thing, I think people should have the right to enjoy shooting recreationally if they damn want to, I'm just pointing out that these days the second amendment is a silly and worthless safeguard against tyranny, and to claim the U.K. is somehow more susceptible to tyranny because they don't have such a protection is equally as silly.
The U.S. still has loose gun control laws because a significant amount of the population enjoy shooting, people in the U.K. obviously don't value guns as highly because a democratically elected government has restricted access to them.
United States: 0.042802 Murders per 1,000 people
United Kingdom: 0.0140633 Murders per 1,000 people
Not saying I agree with all the examples you cited of the UK over-policing, but I wouldn't go spruiking the US method of "lock-em-up and throw away the key" too much.
Oh ffs, what of those torches that you shake to charge?
What about shake'n'bake pancakes? those things are really heavy when filled up, you could probably do some real damage to someone if you tried hard enough.
People do NOT need to be instructed in common-sense, and rewarding those who don't have it is a pretty stupid sociological model.
Starbucks tastes good? huh?
Just because it hasn't been sitting in a coffee pot all day doesn't make it good:-P
Where I live (Melb. Aus) I'd place starbucks pretty close to the bottom rung of espresso coffee.
Though I guess it doesn't help that I don't like sweet drinks so am unlikely to buy any of their crazy-talk mocha style drinks.

An even nicer solution would be to rate links based on amount of views without them being deleted.
:-) By no means trivial though.
Implicit democracy anyone?
Hardly, it's only limiting wikipedia's effect on PageRank, it doesn't limit the effectiveness of wikipedia itself.

Naw, I'd settle for a "This opinion is not my own but was paid for by a corporation whose interests will be benefited by its spread" neon sign
Sorry but I'm a firm believer that bias should be declared or implicit in all political speech.

What a pointless article.
Rabbit cooked properly is one of the nicest meats imo.

Conveniently they're also used for a completely different purpose in electronics. :-P
Seeing that no one gave you a suitably chilling example of what can be done with already installed programs...

Sure, but how many violent?
Who cares about insurance companies anyway?
Read it any way you want, they don't make electronic paper, they make plastic circuits that could be useful in conjunction WITH electronic paper.
The summary contradicts the headline :-S

Elephant guns are pretty much made for elephants, fair on useless for combat
Yes, I am sure your hunting rifle will stack up excellently against a tank or assault rifle.

Oh gimme a break.
"Sex Worker" is a pretty descriptive term and useful as a generic category.
No one is calling them "Happiness Workers"
