Muslims want all reference to the twin towers bombing and the london underground bombing removed. Sure it's irrelevant! Translations of the Qur'an - sure it might give people the idea that Islam isn't all peaceful
Uh, I don't think the United Kingdom has any Republicans, or at least none with any particular political power...
British republicans are av fringe group, as you would expect the term "republican" has an entirely different meaning in a monarchy, constitutional or otherwise.
Just ignoring your random racism for a moment, just because there's a *request* does not mean it will be honoured. The balance between public right to know and your privacy is still involved, and ultimately it's the Information Commissioner that gets to decide.
You know something. If I changed religion my race would be the same. If I became a communist or a tea party member I would still be the same race. Difficult concept I know.
"Hi, Google, I'm a black mail victim. Here is a list of things someone could blackmail me with"
Surely its the other way round - the one way to guarantee that you won't be blackmailed over something is full public disclosure. Nobody's going to blackmail Graham Norton by threatening to reveal he's gay - but the quiet bloke who keeps it secret on the other hand might just pay.
True, but a lot of the requests come from politicians with dodgy pasts and paedophiles. I expect Muslims to get in on the act soon as well (I'm sure they'll say "it's not relevant that I called for the subjugation of non-muslims and women now I'm running for Bradford council"!).
My god, how our country is cursed by these nitwits.
If "diversity" means putting more of those simpletons into positions of power, fuck diversity.
You realise there may be all sorts of legitimate reasons for this. Maybe the approve because they see Obama as no worse than most other politicians, but see that he also provides a positive role-model for blacks. Maybe more black people are in demographics that benefit from his policies. Maybe they value different things to you when evaluating how good he is.
Until it can sit on my wrist for a year or so without needing my attention, it's not a watch, it's an annoyance.
That's certainly reasonable for replaceable batteries, but with a chargeable watch I could accept anything that would easily cover two weeks. That said my solar powered radio watch has been going for five years without having to change batteries or adjust it and I'd need some pretty good features to persuade me to move on from that,
Assuming that a thought requires a medium, even if I am a figment of something else's imagination that imagination defines this universe as it is.
Of course, when observing from within there is no way we can tell if a thought really requires something to carry it or if the concept of it is sufficient for it to exist. (*)
* Since everyone can be wrong and by definition not knowing that they are wrong there is no way to prove any statement to be correct, including this one. Note that this isn't a paradox, this statement can be correct even if its correctness is non-provable.
Though "this universe as it is" may be very different from "this universe as we think it is", or "this universe as 'observed' by us" as observation could just be a dream or simulation
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
You credit people with much more sense than they have. There are and have been many wars based on ideology and religion - in fact there is a religion whose stated aim is to fight all who do not convert or accept a status designed to "make them feel subdued"

Why would anyone need a role model of a particular color? Role models are about admiring someone for what they do - not for what they look like.
I think its more about culture - thinking "wow someone like me could be president".
a lot of the requests

it's the patents that are bogus. Judges need to invalidate more patents, they need to invalidate all software patents.

Good point - such a bunch of criminals certainly need tough surveilance
