The EU started out as a free-trade agreement, now it has power over member states, and soon it will have a president and will be a fully-fledged federal govt.
It's a trap, but a trap the countries are too stupid to realise.
what govt would own it? the us may have thought up the idea but the actual WWW that we use before us now is british in origin, basically, this is a joke. maybe the UN should run it? haha.
I live in London and over the last 6 months I haven't gone a single day without seeing police officers on the streets. Nearly every time I step out of the house I see their cars, or police walking in pairs up and down the street, and I live in the most outer-zone of London. They're always at trains stations, bus stops, down high streets and on the roads, I don't know how anyone could possibly say there isn't enough cops on the streets.
The problem is just impotent judicial system, which under the EU means that even if we wanted to actually punish people - we can't - didn't you hear? Europe believes criminals deserve more rights than citizens.
Though sure, a Labour govt is just as wacky as any other left-wing parties, but we're signed up to so many European treaties that even if we got a govt which would punish criminals we couldn't, Europe wouldn't allow it - European courts can overrule UK courts - so you can have some German saying that a paedophile should be able to live next to a school playground in London - and no one in the UK can do anything about it. Ridiculous.
Here comes some continental Europeans to mod me down for speaking the truth...
"ike most things in life, CCTV works sometimes...for example, many of the little thugs that walk around the streets where i live (Leeds) wear hooded tops with the hoods up and scarfs round their faces to avoid being identified, no matter how good the CCTV footage is it's highly unlikely that the police would catch someone dressed so (and yes they do walk around the city centre like that). Also most of the cameras are in the city centre itself...instead of where its really needed."
I believe you are describing "rude boys," they exist throughout the country. Still, even when they cover their faces etc it's still possible they'll be caught from what they wear, and often the police know about the local gangs and just walk around and recognise them straight away.
It's about catching the people who do the crimes AFTER the crime has taken place. I know alot of people (mainly Americans) start saying "Big Brother" at having cameras watching you, but it's really not anything you think about, the people watching you are watching about 30 other screens, and what are they going to see you doing? Walking? Ouch. Now imagine you're walking and you get mugged, now you'll be glad about the cameras who can now have an idea of what the mugger looks like and there's a much greater chance of them being caught. Video surveilance usage is monitored, it's not like the govt is spying on you and keeping tabs trying to get you to part with your tinfoil hat.
yes we're slashdot, yes we all hate microsoft, c'mon, give us some credit.
Unsubstantiated bullshit.

about the linux community? it doesn't make our case over SCO any less powerful, and obvious. We're innocent, until SCO proves otherwise, we all know they can't/won't do that, so whereas we may look to be the bad guys NOW, the linux community will continue, whereas SCO is on a deadline, and they're going to come off worse than anyone.

Had landed in Opportunity's position, it would have been far more fascinating.
Beagle2 is the most technically advanced out of the 3, and can analyse materials and send the results back to earth, so you could effectively get proof of life (or be it, 'beyond most doubt') on mars within a couple days of it landing.
More/. Scaremongering, this will never pass, simple as that, no need to worry, something to laugh about though at how pathetic/stupid these companies can be.
"Geez, you're so paranoid! EU can't be worst than Tatcher, nor than the way you 'handle' the Irish 'problem'."
I'm guessing you mean Thatcher? Thatcher was great, true Conservative, OK she choked on the poll tax, but she was a good leader, and she had balls, but then pro-euro left-wing liberals like you hate her, because you all hate your own countries and want to stop testing on animals and all that shit, i'm right, aren't i? And yes, the Irish 'problem', well, you don't see anymore IRA bombs going off do you? (no thanks to Americans) so the problem is pretty much sorted to the best it can be at the moment. Piss off.
"I'm glad all the british people I know are not like you. They don't give a fsck about their government as I don't give a fsck about mine. EU can't be worst."
I'm not British, I am however, living in Britain. And people like you who hold no patriotism are just a piece of shit that should be shot. Piss off.

The American Bill of Rights was also inherited from English Law. I've heard of Americans making pilgrimages to England to see the original.
I hope you all get cancer and die.

but a billion local holes in default install...
then why don't you pay the $5k and make a profit? oh wait, you don't really believe what you're saying do you? no..
couldn't you use one of these free programs to update to Custom DNS instead of wanting the router to do so?
bollocks to that, someone's been changing time again.

if i was crazy.
What's going to happen to these others? Like xgoogle.com (irc search) etc? Hell they may as well go after www.googirl.com.ar too, pathetic.
I've already lost all confidence in Google, they're just another ecompany who's lost their way.
on the ground of that image is just fragmented bones of a dinosaur-like creation many years ago.

I hope so. But I also believe that the EU could well bring about WWIII with its' inefficient, undemocratic and police-state policies.
look at human rights, we have to follow european rules - we're a sovereign country ffs!
the minute the constitution is signed im out, i'll go live in australia or something, then i'll be living somewhere more british than britain.
i gotta go in a min, i'd like to continue this convo tho, got a email or IM address?
