In fact it explicitly states: (c) Nonrequired Element of Offense. It is not a required element of any offense under this section that the minor depicted actually exist.
It really stuns me that "behavior deviating sharply from the social norm" is illegal in Britain.
Have they NO concept of originality, freedom of speech and expression, individualism, and people seeking out their true happiness in their own unique way? Sure the social norm is not to dress up as a banana and greet everyone you meet, but it could be somebody's happiness, and it sounds like the English police can charge you with Antisocial behavior for doing it.
i was just going to say the same thing so may i just quote it here...
It is generally accepted that the first definition in a dictionary entry is the most commonly used. From the very link you posted, the first definition is Shunning the society of others; not sociable. Pulling out the ad-hominem attack of "that is the definition that the idiots in high school use" Makes you look like a beligerant idiot.
This phrase has seemed to pop up in a lot of British crime articles. Can anyone from across the pond explain to me what exactly it is?
They seem to be using it as an excuse to arrest, harass and imprison anybody for any reason, on the basis that they were doing something "anti-social."
And what's wrong with being anti-social anyway? Some people are shy, some people have strange tastes and interests. I know I am not the epitome of a social butterfly.
Worst we've got in America is a recent rash of police arresting people from photographing their encounters, which, given the number of police in this country, seems to be more rare than people in Britain being branded "anti social" for chewing japanese cabbage flavor gum or driving luxury cars.
Just keep a checklist, a real, live checklist on paper, and check off every tool as you locate it before closing. That way, no chips will malfunction and not be detected, resulting in an instrument left in the body.
Well for someone who doesn't want to let windows updates flow freely, I have to seperately authorize the download and installation of each WGA patch and verification that comes in. They all work just fine which is surprising because my copy of windows is cracked. I paid $99 for the original disc and a key years ago but I have switched machines twice since then, after the first one it stopped validating without a little help from antiWPA.
I agree as far as this - Linux has no user-friendly environments that are as responsive as a clean Windows 98 that will run on a machine so slow that you need to be running Windows 9x.
Windows XP is multiple times faster than KDE on my desktop computer, it's virus and spyware free with no frigging effort at all (leave AVG on, let it auto-update.. voila. It takes up 10x less ram than all the spare KDE processes). And it has far better oob hardware support and software compatibility.
For the same reasons many refuse to switch to a Mac, or would have before OS X, I refuse to switch to Linux. Plus I paid $100 for Windows XP in 2003 so I'm trying to get optimal usage out of it.
"I have a rule of thumb here," Rogers says. "You shouldn't broadcast or share any information that you wouldn't want to share with your parents or spouse, or that you would be ashamed of should it appear on the front page of the newspaper. Follow that and you can't go wrong."
I must admit there are very natural bodily functions that I feel it is beneficial to discuss privately, including anonymously on the internet, that would indeed be very embarassing on the front page of the paper. I bet this Mr. Rogers would be very uncomfortable if his regional paper dug up a post he "anonymously" made on a web forum asking about a nasty rash in a private area, complete with pictures, and posted this information on their front page.
Things like Kelo are indeed the power of the states. My state, New Hampshire, recently passed a constitutional amendment reclarifying what eminent domain is to be used for, which is only when the government A) can not really use any other land, B) it is for the betterment of the community, C) it must be for explicit public use, not increased tax revenue, and D) the owner must be compensated at the same rate that he would normally settle on selling his house for, not what a government "appraisor" would have him sell it for.
Exactly why the president AND the supreme court need line-item veto power. One ruling could set a precedent that the content of a bill, including line items, must reflect the original intent of the bill.
Frankly, I'd prefer all of congress die painful deaths, with a few exceptions.

Well they did.
Under PROTECT, things like hentai with children in them are illegal, it is a felony to be caught in posession of them.
Yes, I'm sure the inheritance is huge since he's been selling all that pirated media...
You mean Lenin? :p

I think Britain must have a different definition of it than we do in America
in America, being anti-social is not socializing, being a hermit, you know. Shyness.

Well I hate living in this decline and I'll hate spending the rest of my life in the dark ages.
Are there any countries out there experiencing a golden age? Or is the world so intertwined they all go together..
in the old days, we used to look at and feel the fruit to see if it was ripe or not.
Kids these days with their stickers.
If it comes to it, I'm armed.
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government. (Not my words, but my sentiment)
Or maybe he was testing what value it would have on the street so he could steal it and pawn it!
Let the accusations fly!

No but most other OSes dont use as intrusive and time-consuming methods of determining that a copy of the OS is legitimate.

Not a perfect world, but better.
That makes sense seeing as Maine is in New England
I'm from New Hampshire originally Connecticut and I've grown up with the word Wicked in my vocabulary. It's New-England-Wide, man!
Falsifying headers is illegal, but I doubt anyone will actually pursue a small-time website operator who's sending otherwise legitimate traffic.
We are talking about microsoft here. The company policy seems to be take out the little guys first.
Haha really? I do that all the time... well, sometimes.
