Agreed. There are large groups in the UK who want to suppress free speech, down to the point where it would be illegal to say that most "honour killings" are carried out by Muslims. They claim that the truth and news reporting is "offensive", if they are allowed to have people arrested for causing offence (as would happen in Muslim countries) then they will be one step closer to bringing in sharia by the back door.
So the first thing that happens with any tragedy is that people make jokes about it. It happened with 9/11, it happened with 7/7 it's happened throughout history. Some people use it as a form of therapy. It's part of our coping mechanism.
No, there is a clear difference. The jokes after 7/7 were black humour, targeting everyone who travels. In a sense it is bravado - you show you are not worried about getting on the tube with jokes about "people getting legless on the underground", and "you'r complaining that I lost my ticket, well last week I lost my balls" and so on. This is very different to posting something directed at an abducted and probably murdered (still missing) child on a Facebook site used by parents and searchers.
I don't think he should have been prosecuted, just widely reported as the dick-head he is - but this is not the same as the sort of coping jokes you make when getting back on the underground after a terror strike.
One difference is if you buy a petrol/diesel car then it will carry on creating the same emissions for its life. With an electric car as we bring more renewables online, (maybe) bring back nuclear, and (maybe) look at carbon sequestration then the emissions become greener
Etienne St-Pierre said his usual suppliers, small producers based in Quebec, sold it to him.
This made me think: basically, a foodstuff was sold to someone who'll sell it to the public later on. He didn't ask about the source of the foodstuff, didn't check for quality, didn't check for adulteration, didn't check for chemical or biological contaminants - NOR DID HE KNOW SHIT whether anyone has done such tests.
He could have gotten maple syrup laced with anthrax, and would have sold it forward, and noone would have been the wiser.
Shhh... Muslims could be reading this, don't give them ideas
Actual research to make airplanes go faster has long since reached the point of diminishing returns.
The guys designing scramjets and hypersonic craft probably disagree. Of course you could be right and these may remain on the drawing board, but time will tell
This is what I was thinking.
I have a whole closet full of clothes, and it takes me literally 1 second to decide what to wear.
Maybe it's different when you're president and everyone is reading into what kind of suit you're wearing.
What to have for breakfast? Whatever is in the kitchen.
I always take the leftmost shirt without thinking about it. Someone once asked me if I wear the same shirt for several days in a row - and realised I that my obsessive habit of always taking the shirt on the left clashed with my wife's obsessive need to sort shirts by colour, with identical shirts together!
Why the middle man - why not smuggle the stuff directly from China?
Put it this way, would you rather get caught smuggling from the USA or from China? I'm sure neither are pleasant, but I suspect that one is considerably worse than the other.
PayPal is a bank, in some countries (i.e. the EU), and regulated by appropriate financial services watchdogs. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be allowed to trade in those countries for very long as it would be nothing but an unregulated money laundering outfit.
That said, wire transfers are traceable, but that doesn't mean you get your money back. Credit cards, etc. have automatic, legally-backed payout when you mark a transaction as fraud, even if the fraudster has already withdrawn that money.
True, However to get the "Lowest common denominator" regulation in Europe they moved from the UK to Luxembourg.
No, in some countries the second part is censored. You might not have discovered how he later discovered how he had amazing powers over women and his incredible steamy sex sessions. I will never forget those pictures.
Intel CPU prices have remained stagnant, especially for models that cost $200 and up. AMD chips, on the other hand, tend to fall in price steadily after they first hit the market. Some drop by up to 43% in the first year.
Surely that's the market working. You can pay more and go with a market leader or pay less for an alternative. This gives you a reasonable choice in the lower price market between a newer Intel budget design or an older AMD one that has decreased in price - or an AMD budget CPU and change for a flat-panel screen!
Having read TFA I see that what happening is that AMD processors are not living up to expectation, which is why they reduce in price quickly. This means that Intel has little competition and has no incentive to reduce its prices, which is why it is bad for the consumer. I understand and would like to redact my previous comment!

"ever been involved in a lawsuit, either as a plaintiff, a defendant, or as a witness"
Well, if he was involved in 'dozens or hundreds of suits', he forgot dozens or hundreds of opporunities to answer truthfully.
You're not making a very good argument there.
I thing what parent means is that if he had been involved in 200 cases and listed 180 of them then it would seem reasonable that he might have forgotten them. Even so, if one was his personal bankruptcy then I would be surprised if he forgot that.

Mrs T said "there's no such thing as society"
Mr T said "i pity the fool"
they do make a lovely couple though

In the past, this sort of stuff would have been handled by societal pressure.
But Mrs T said "there's no such thing as society"

What's the difference from a Nanny-state with limited human rights and the UK?
Trick question, there isn't any.
I'm deeply offended - and off to the police station ;-)
Indeed, Mormons know what planet God is on: Kolob
Sounds like a load of koloblers to me
what is a "lamar smith"?
One who forges lamers out of noobs.
That sounds like a course I went on once "Introductory line management for technical specialists".
Wasn't this what it was supposed to be?
Yup. And social river, buddy cloud, Choice Social, freenet and many more. I don't see why one other should "take off"

Gender unspecific - that's why it's so damn curious
Lucky it isn't on Uranus, then !
What is foursquare? I just looked and it looks like some cut-down facebook thingy

If it's Scottish, it's probably crap.
Heeeeeey, nice logo.
Yes, just like all the other Scottish inventions, like the telephone, penicillin, radar, the pneumatic tyre, anaesthetic, and many more.

At least he wasn't smuggling it to the Muzzies
No, Rosoboronexport handled that part.
Look at the bright side, they might use them against Chechnya, Islam is our common enemy

That might explain all the negative comments we see about Microsoft.
I'm still waiting for them to send me $500
So, at what point does something become owned just because someone else declares it "valuable"? How far will capitalists go?
The rounded corners are valuable, so belong to Apple.
The Lord's name is valuable, so belongs to Christians.
No they nicked it from the Jews. There is also prior art in the Iron Age religions Edom (where yhvh was one of many Gods)
Is that it?
No, in some countries the second part is censored. You might not have discovered how he later discovered how he had amazing powers over women and his incredible steamy sex sessions. I will never forget those pictures.
when their bet on Itanium failed.
But ... my HP rep tells me it is a fine architecture with a long future!
