  1. Wait, you're quoting a work of fiction written between 50 and 200 years after the events it's bullshitting about and pretending that's some form of historical record?

    I may have some meatballs to sell you.

    Still is.

    It's pretty clear mark-t didn't fucking get it, which makes your condescension look pretty twattish.

    What evidence would you like that a catholic rapes small boys, that a baptist hate gays, that a muslim is an ignorant fuckwit?

    You can't prove these things for a driving licence, so why are you trying to make special rules for people who believe in a flying spaghetti monster?

    Fuck that.

    Instead of, I don't know, letting us control our own fucking borders.

    Funny how that's the first thing France has done in response, despite years of telling Britain that it can't.

    Fuck them. Fuck their European bullshit. Let them have an Islamic invasion, just let us fucking out of it.

    With over 100+ dead France has easily surpassed years of American innocents being shot

    With over 100+ dead France has finally matched the death toll just in American schools in the last five years.

    Just schools.

    Get a fucking clue you total twat.

  10. Causing an accident through dangerous driving however is illegal.

    You make me crash into you by intentionally braking to cause an accident, whether I was being a twat and whether I'm at fault for failing to leave sufficient distance doesn't stop you being prosecuted for breaking the law.

  11. Rewarding them for tailgating by pulling over at the first opportunity is unnecessary. Especially if the first time they think there's an opportunity it's because there's space in the next lane, whereas you're reasonably waiting for a space large enough that you can pull over, let them pass and still move back out to overtake the next vehicle without having to brake yourself.

    Me, I've had people think I'm tailgating them where I'm merely letting my speed bleed off instead of hitting my brakes. Sometimes they react like twats and slam their brakes on, so I just swerve around them or brake safely without hitting them. They're still twats.

    If I want to overtake someone and they wont move, when I think there's a reasonable gap they should move into and they don't, I move into it myself. I then put my bumper half an inch behind theirs (but in the next lane over) and merrily track their speed while sitting mostly in their blind spot. Most people get the hint and indicate to pull over.

    The third time I have to do that I just go past them on the inside.

  12. It is never illegal to go the speed limit.

    It can be in the UK. E.g. drive down a residential road (30 limit) at 4pm on a sunny afternoon at 30 and you may be prosecuted for dangerous driving.

  13. homeopathic funding on UK May Blacklist Homeopathy (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    I think the NHS should give homeopathy all of its funding.

    Of course, we should apply a homeopathic approach to this funding.

    UKP96bn diluted to 1% would be the approach, but the gold standard for homeopathy is 30C, so we need to repeat that dilution another 29 times.

    I'm feeling generous so lets round that UKP10E-50 up not down. Where would the British homeopathists like me to send their penny?

    Nice of you to dismiss the great work done by the Quakers.

    Perhaps you could at least acknowledge that labour is its own market and there's a reason companies offer employment benefits far beyond legal minimums.

    But don't let me get in the way of your unionistic propaganda.

    The way unions behave in the US scares the shit out of me. I'm glad that UK unions (blinkered, bigoted and crap as they are) are not like US unions.

    Also, you're wrong: The French are scarily similar in unionisation to the US.
