    More people voted to leave than to stay. How is that not democratic?

    Because 37.4% of the electorate voted for Brexit and 62.5% didn't but we seem to be doing it anyway.

  2. Re: A question of definitions? on Password Sharing Is a Federal Crime, Appeals Court Rules (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You are authorised to log into the computer using the account(s) you have been issued. You are not authorised to log in using a password belonging to the CEO or the janitor. The use of any other credentials is not authorised and so be prepared for a discussion with police, Feds or some sort of spook if you do.

  3. No, because you're not sharing your password.

  4. ...basically you're shouting at psychopaths...

    Psychopaths and sociopaths are not the same thing. FB falls into the latter group.

    A psychopath gets pleasure from causing you pain - physical, emotional, financial or whatever.

    A sociopath just does not give a s%&t what happens to you as long as they get what they want. They do not get pleasure from hurting you but they are not worried by it and are ready for that at any time.

    FB does not specifically intend to spread your privacy from here to Antarctica but, if they can increase their bottom line by doing so, they don't seem to have a problem with it.

    Organisations who feel it is their specific task to destroy your privacy and feel satisfaction for having done so even when it of no specific benefit to them better fit the "psycho" description. They also exist.

    There is nothing to overturn. The vote is purely an advisory - an opinion poll only.

    The Bremain campaign wasn't any better...

    Perhaps you are referring to "Project Fear" which is when every time someone gave out information that the Brexiters didn't like they pretended it was just a scare tactic.

    Now we have been blocked from our, and our childrens, future prosperity by 37.4% of the electorate. If someone tried to declare a strike based on this ballot, they would be in court fast!

    All the British want is control of their borders

    No. What meany older people in southern Britain wanted to stop people with brown skin fleeing here. Trashing the economy seemed like a good way of removing the incentive.

    They are a nation after all.

    We will probably not remain so. The SNP has already said that another separation referendum is appropriate. Since the EU was one of the winning factors last time, I am not confident. Will Wales and Ulster ignore this?

  9. Some banksters wanted a Brexit.

    You need a falling market to do a lot of shorting and the faster it falls, the more profitable.

  10. We are allowing 37.4% of people to decide the future for 100% of us.

    That is what percentage of our electorate is being allowed to throw our future under the bus.

  11. Not many people sure, but they are very influential. When I can see the ribs and collar bones of models then well, they are seriously unwell.

    Also if 18 is morbid, 20 is still pretty unhealthy and there are lots of these.

  12. There may well be an obesity "epidemic" but until they start to classify an adult with a BMI of 18 as "morbidly thin", I will not see some identifications of "morbidly obese" as anything than a fashion statement.

    That said, I have never used an illegal substance in my life, have never smoked (probably the reason for the first statement) and probably haven't been drunk and legless since I was a student,

    If my employer, a hospital, thought that I had been abusing, I would let them test me only if they signed an undertaking to make a substantial charity donation on my coming up clean. If they think that I have broken the law, they should tell the police.

    If I showed up under the influence(s), the police should be involved. If someone is tested and fail, HR can deal with it after the courts.

    Other than the words of lying politicians and their friends, there is little evidence that the USSR was, or China is left wing. I don't think that Cambodia really demonstrated communism either, just how to kill lots of people you don't like. That is pretty much a conservative idea.
