I was rather saddened to see one of the upgrades to get it to 2040 is to replace the twin engine pods with single bigger engines. A B52 won't look right with 4 engines instead of 8.
Indeed. The car industry for one has a calculation on fixing faults to the effect that if the lawsuit is cheaper than the fix, they leave it. Basically, there is a dollar value applied to a human life and any fault is analysed and a possible headcount caused by the fault calculated. If the repair is less than that total, the do it.
>It's in the Qur'an
Although some scholars now belive 'virgin' is a mistranslation and it's now thought to be some sort of white olive/raisen thing. Could be some very disappointed bombers out there.
So is holiday general time off work but vacation when you go away? What if you take your two weeks vacation and stay at home, what is it then?
Feel free to mod this down offtopic but this has been something I've often wondered about!
Fair points and certainly a risk but I'm not sure how many white disenfranchised muslim extermists there are to recruit. Obviously there must be white muslims but I've never actually met one knowingly.
Far better idea would be for the Western governments to stop doing things abroad that upset people quite so much though.
>The new anti-terrorism laws now allow the police to randomly stop and question
>anyone. Since the july 7th london bombings it has been the asian community
>that has actively been targeted by the Police.
Seeing as all (?) terrorism related crimes in the UK in the last few years have been committed by asians/blacks, seems a sensible way to use *anti-terrorism* laws, no? If they were doing something like that under a law designed to fight generic crime you'd have a point and a good one.
>don't commit crimes
Fine and dandy except for the report this year that 60% of UK adults break the law in some way or another e.g. speeding, pinching biros from work etc. How serious a crime does it have to be to get a DNA sample taken and who decides?
>Ahhh the UK, where even salt is considered too spicy
Do what? The UK's most popular food is curry - we like spicy. Drunken men try to impress each other by tackling Phal's or drinking straight from a bottle of 'Old Grindley's bastard hot sauce'.
As someone who gets grief from drunken teens (12-18) pretty much nightly, I'm all for anything that gets a few more off the streets and out my hair. However, this flies against my other belief that the state has far too much info on us. I don't buy the 'if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear' line. On the face of it I would agree that if you are found innocent, your DNA should be destroyed (well, the bit the police have, anyway). However, some people are a bit slippery and perhaps something needs to be built in that if you get arrested under suspicion x times then your DNA should be kept for say 5 years.
Just for the record, a quick bit of googling shows on london teen murders 2007 showed the following for those who thought this was flamebait:
Mohammed Ahmed, suspect attacker, black
Adam Regis (black) attacked by 2 blacks
Billy Cox (black) attacker black
James Smartt-Ford (black)
Michael Dosunmu (black)
Annaka Keniesha Pinto (black)
Charlotte Polius (black)
That was the first few I found. I remember the London Evening Standard did a photo spread recently of all the victims of stabbings or shootings in London this year and there was one white face.
It might not be PC, it might not be palatable but this is what's going on and waving the race card to object is doing the black population a huge disservice as is trying to sweep it all under the carpet. There are endemic problems with gang culture and there is a need for some postive role models for young kids that don't involve rap songs about ho's, bitches, killing, drugs, fast cars and easy money.
>When the remaining 91% are going to be DNA recorded
Of course, we won't mention the % of the 17 teens shot or stabbed in London this year who are black or the colour of the killers who have been arrested so far. Clue: Considerably higher than 40% were black.
I think he's been out the office too long and gone a bit umm strange. Seriously, anyone that thinks this is a smart move is seriously veering towards 'mad as a bag of mad things' territory.
Wonder if that would stand up in court for any pedos?
Defendent:Your Honour, I know it's someone under-age *now* but it was grannie-pr0n when I downloaded it, really it was.
I know this will get modded down but...
>thousands of minutes of erotic movies
TIP: say hundreds of *hours*. Saying minutes really implies your target audience don't umm, last very long IYSWIM. Not good marketing to insult them up front.

That's a US law, he's in the UK. Much as Bush would wish otherwise, not all US laws apply throughout the world, only most.

Not actually seen the film actually, it was on a BBC documentry from memory.

Suddenly it's starting to appeal

Me, next year, Maine, Cape Cod etc. Be nice to me

>And we don't "vacation" either.
While we're at it, why do Americans take vacations not holidays BUT still say 'happy holidays' etc.?

Is it me or is the % of anonymous posts in this one much higher than usual? Must tell you something about how most people perceive Scientology.
All recent music sounds flat to me - now I know why.

Does it run Linux?
When the ads said "Where do you want to go today?"
Facebook - grownups
MySpace - Kids/teens
Anything else - non starter.
>just a long handle T-15
The same T-15 some people used to bullseye Whomp Rats?
