Show me one human that lives in a house without violence. All property rights are rooted in violence. You can't own something without the threat of violence against those who would take it.
Property laws are explicitly based on not using violence to uphold them, it is why they are laws rather than (say) a system of anonymous lynching.
Unfortunately for some rugged individualists, this depends on the concept of society.
Is there any way to read "fell out of his pocket" that isn't a euphemism? Unless the cops picked him up by the ankles and shook him I find it very difficult to believe that anything just "fell out" at the random moment that they just happened to be arresting him. Of course if it was ever really in his pocket to begin with then they would have found it when they booked him. But it seems more likely that it "fell" out of the arresting officer's pocket instead.
You'd think police officers would have better pockets than that, considering they have to run after people, leap over car bonnets and so on.
I'm not sure that's true, support for Brexit backslid after the vote. I don't know if it's still a majority or not, but this whole thing was mainly a Conservative party initiative. If Labour campaigns under an "Elect us and Brexit won't happen as long as we're in charge." platform, then it's certainly possible that they could get a lot of support.
If they then won that election, it would give cover for a future Conservative government to scrap Brexit completely.
But the next election isn't until 2020 and I don't see how Theresa May can put off invoking Article 50 and starting Brexit that long even if she wanted to.
You mean what was Theresa May's job to prevent yet she failed so utterly spectacularly at it, like with a number of other things in her time as home secretary. A job she's now given to Boris fucking Johnson of all people
No, even more amusingly he's foreign secretary which is a bit like putting the Chuckle Brothers in charge of negotiating with Hitler in the 1930s.
It's not. Almost nobody cares about a headphone jack except for the kiddies that cant afford anything more than a $100 prepaid phone to begin with.
Untrue, my kids have iPhones (previous generation admittedly) and they get through headphones/earbuds like a rat through cardboard. You can currently get cheap earbuds from Poundland, but I wouldn't want to be buying an Apple pair every couple of weeks at GBP30+ a pop.
I had a potluck roommate at my university who was of meager means. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to stay in school, but then a $10,000 federal loan came in for him to cover his schooling expenses.
Guess what he did, even before the money had hit his account?
Shopping spree. Bought a gaming console with a number of games, movies, new clothes, went out to a load of restaurants...you get the picture.
By no means am I suggesting he's the brush with which we can paint the entire low income population, but it is safe to say that some people will be foolish with those funds and we'll be faced with the question of how to deal with them then.
I don't think they give you a year's Basic Income in advance.
The tradition of using the word smurf as a method to remain incognito comes from "e-sports" where known players would play under a different pseudonym than the one they usually are known by.
The case it was popularized from was when a known player used the pseudonym "smurf" instead of his regular one.
You can hire someone to go to the ATM, but it wouldn't be called a smurf. A smurf would be if the Nigerian prince would start to refer to himself as a Russian businessman to make sure that people who are familiar with the Nigerian letters wouldn't catch on as fast.
I thought he just meant you got someone to dress in a smurf costume to use the ATM so it would be harder to identify them on CCTV.

Embarrassing or not her parents have murdered her privacy for life.
This story has certainly struck a chord with the precious over-entitled hysterical "millenial" twerps here.
What about potential employers turning her down for a job in public relations?
She's more likely to get turned down for a job because she's shown she's an hysterical clown by suing her parents over some baby photos.
Actually, having a right does EXACTLY mean that it's right to do it.
No, it really really doesn't, unless you have a purely legalistic view of reality.
>her attitude about how bad she thinks it will affect her isn't exactly brimming with a mature point of view.
She's 19. How mature do you think she's supposed to be ? How mature were you at 19 ? Because me ? I was a fucking idiot at that age.
Irrelevant: if you're legally an adult, you're an adult. There are mature 19 year olds and immature 59 year olds. They both get treated as adults.

The first thing to happen would be scurvy.
Your PR needs some working on, Mr "New Fad Diet" man.
few people actually like the taste of alcohol
Not all of us consume our alcohol by necking pints of fruit-flavoured moonshine.
Yeah, call me a snob.
One guy liked it because he always stays at Starwoods and he can unlock his room via the watch.
I think Starwoods need to improve their security if an Apple watch can open any of their rooms!

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"
And you know, I kinda like the idea of Terminators. Maybe a race of robots that keep the peace.
Er, have you actually seen any of the Terminator films? If so, you have a pretty special take away from them.
Without violence and conflict everyone would sit around getting fat and having sex
I'm guessing not in your case, eh?

If you're going to include eating plants as murderous violence, then yes I suppose you could argue that all human beings are violent killers.
in their field Apple was pretty cut-throat
But only metaphorically, not literally.
Violence generally implies physical hurt. If you're just going to use it to mean "not very nice behaviour" it's too weak to be useful.
Barter sexual favors
Do you have any idea what forum you're on?

There's no way back to the glory days of the British empire.
You are clearly not a Conservative.

I was in London last year, I was shocked at how many white people I didn't see. That's not racist
Yes, it is.
You don't know how many of these non-white people were British.

P.S. If you put milk in coffee, you're a fucking savage.
How about sugar? Chocolate sprinkles? Little cocktail umbrellas?
Could you please let me know what the limit at your company is?
Not the subtlest piece of attempted social engineering I've ever seen.
Small nitpick here.

Clearly, I know nothing about "e-sports".
