@martini20:

Give it another week, and they will be blaming the abuse victims.

Actually, they did that for the 1st 40ish years of the molestation being public.

Huckabee told the interviewer that not every group's interests deserve to be accommodated, if their lifestyle is outside of what he called "the ideal."

My lifestyle is a lot better than my neighbors'.  We rarely drink and we grow our own fruit and veg.

Maybe this dick headed bigot means "sexual orientation".

My MP {Anne Begg} admits that she is completely against the new law and so are the people of her district, but she had to vote the party line.

Not votoing the party line would mean not getting party support in the current election cycle.

Sadly, the voters are the last people politicians care about, as we don't line their pockets.

Seems like the courts are whoring to business, instead of looking out for the concerns of the people.

Should we be surprised?

David Cameron is the leader of the Tories {think Republicans in the US}.

The last couple of years, they have tried to claim to be gay friendly, but then one of their front benchers opens their mouth and says something pretty hateful.

But let's not be fooled, the Labour Party {think Democrats} have put in laws that give preference to religion over equality to gays.

This still hasn't made it to the UK as far as I know.

David Cameron has an extremely poor voting record on gay issues, so why should we think he and his party have changed?

I read that article.  I don't know Spiegel, maybe it's a legit news source.

Even if it's a legit news source, there's been a bunch of stuff that's been posted around the world that's an April Fool's on proper news sites.

It does seem like an April Fool's joke.

I'm not really sure about this as I can't find any reference to a proper news site or before 26 March 2010.

No asking for key gens, serial numbers, cracks, removal of copy protection or DRM etc, etc in the forum.

Conway said the Marine Corps is the only branch of the armed services that houses two to a room.

When I was in {85 - 89}, we had 4 to room.

That is a great tv.

The reviews for it are very good.

While none of the 3 main parties aren't screaming for our blood, they aren't exactly "gay friendly".

There is still a vast amount of injustice under the law and by the way the law is enforced.

Here are some examples;

1.  Married hetero couples are guaranteed the right that both of them are placed in the same old folks home and get the same room.  Civil unioned gay couples are not guaranteed any of this.

2.  While both married and civil unioned couples get their partner's/spouse's state pension upon the death of the other, only married heteros have the guaranteed right to their spouse's work and private pension.  Some banks and businesses are now including it in their contracts, but this is few ad far between.

3.  Immigration rules are similar, not the same for hetero and gay couples.

The list could go on forever of the "separate and not equal" that Tony Blair talked about.

We had "U R A GAY BOY!!!" spray painted on our house 2 weeks before this past christmas and it took the police 11 days to show up to take a police report.  They came that soon because we kept complaining that they were taking so long.  Our Pakistani neighbors had "Paki scum" spray painted on their house over the summer and the police arrived within the hour of it being reported.  The council removed the graffiti from both houses.  Theirs was removed the same day, while ours took almost a month.  The had theirs removed for free and we had to pay £836.

Not surprisingly, the only references to his claims are that he is making them now.

There's nothing before his statement, which shows it's not true.  If it were true, then it would be all over the internet as homophobes would grab the bull by the horns and parade it it out in front of everyone.

Also as part of the bill, people who download copyrighted material so they can distribute it for commercial gain will face a maximum fine of £50,000.
Another provision in the bill is the granting to the business secretary, Lord Mandelson, of the power to amend the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988, "for the purpose of preventing or reducing online copyright infringement". This power will provide the government with "a flexible approach to dealing with other online copyright infringement issues", according to a summary of the bill.

I really hate this part, especially since he isn't even an elected member of the government and he can make law unchecked by Parliament.

Another part is that my ISP is one of many that make you use their routers, with their software and setup.  So if someone is able to bypass their security, I get punished.

There's also the fact that many pirate sites put in fake IP addresses in their tracker.  I don't know exactly how it works, but PirateBay {as were many ohers} famous for having a lot of bogus IP addresses show up in people's torrent clients.

A "Flaming 8 Ball" is a way of smoking heroin.

The name breaks down as such; "flaming" because it's being smoked and "8 ball" is the size.  I don't know the exact details, but it's highly explosive.

Some of you may remember Richard Pryor catching on fire back in the 1980s while doing drugs.  Well this is what he was doing.

we speak english very well here in our country so that stereotype that asians don't know squat about english is dead wrong

I've lived in Japan and South Korea and I can say for a fact that a lot of people in both countries pretend not to speak english, even though it's taught very early on in school.

I'm the junior by 3 years.
