He's using a well worn legal tactic that has been used in the UK and other parts of Europe for several years now.  It's a form of extortion.

Google " Davenport Lyons " and " ACS: Law " {same people, they set up a new company to do piracy cases} to see what they are doing. I think DL getting banned from practicing law in several EU countries for dirty tactics is why they started ASC: Law.

Their "proof" is extremely weak and they have sent letters threatening to sue to printers, dead people and countless variety of other non sense.

They don't take people to court, despite their claim to have successfully won a case and awarded £16,000, they rely on your fear of court to get people to pay.  No one can find any evidence of the supposed case where they won the $16,000.

Sir Isaac predicted the world would end in 2060.  Supposedly, it's based on biblical prophecy.

He believed that the church became corrupted by evil popes starting in 800 AD and that it would last 1260 years before the evilness would end.

800 + 1260 = 2060

There's an updated version of Grid with some extras.  Try and get that one rather than the plain edition.

This isn't the same person I mentioned before but it's from a pro "official" holocaust site,

If you scroll down to the "Revisionist bishop" section of the article, you will see that he was prosecuted in Germany for something he didn't do {dispute the official holocaust record} in Germany.

I have heard of many prosecutions of for denying/revising the holocaust as far as it's impact on Jews, but where are the prosecutions for the denials of it's impact on gays, gypsies and all the other groups?!

For the record, I don't defend these assholes, but I do think that they have the right to free speech and that if denying/revising the holocaust is illegal, then all denying/revising the holocaust should be prosecuted.  I also DO NOT support being tried for a crime in a country that you did not commit a crime in.

I don't know of a European country that has anything like the US's 1st amendment, that gives free speech.

The UK severely limits free speech to the 4 pedestals at Speaker's Corner and a couple of other places.  Even in Parliament you can not speak freely.

Germany isn't about free speech as it criminalizes disagreements about the "official" version of the Holocaust.  A UK professor was thrown in prison for saying that the number of Jews killed in the holocaust was too high, while lecturing in Germany.  He said it back in the 1970s before it was illegal, but was arrested and imprisoned in the last few years.

Also unlike the US, European countries love to backdate laws that have a negative effect.

I'm interested in find out more about VPN too.

Microsoft is shit, but it's the easiest to get other programs for.

WHen the UK banned discrimination against gays in service related issue {ie; hotels, adoption, etc, etc} the government gave them 7 years {a 5 year automatic extention and a 2 year automatic extention} to comply with the law.

The catholic church got tax money to fund their adoption agency.  They wanted a total exemption allowing them to continue discriminating against gays for eternity, while using tax money.  The gov gave them the 7 extra years, but in the end, the catholics decided leave the adoption business completely instead of being non bigoted.

This is on BBC Breakfast and it's funny that most of those that were interviewed for their opinion, women tended to be supportive, while most men are worried he might end up "different" or as 3 men said "sissy".

While I was in the Marine Corps {85 to 89}, I never heard that sharing rooms was to promote "unity".

When I first joined, there were squad huts and then there were 4 man rooms and later it was 2 man rooms.  All were run down pieces of shit that that would be condemned in the real world.  Oddly enough, they did start building new housing units, but the women got them, go figure.

Oh yeah, I lived in a fucking GP tent for a year in Yechon South Korea, at the end of a fucking runway.

"Men's lib" is an extremely long way away.

Courts discriminate against men in divorce and child custody.

In the UK, women in the private sector retire 6 years before men in the private sector and 5 years before men in the public sector.  Woman only need 17 years worth of tax credits to qualify for a full state pension, while men need 37.  Women can use years staying at home to care for the kids as their pension tax credits, while men can not.  The law does not allow for Mr Mom type situation under the pension scheme.  When the husband dies, women get 100% of his pension, but when the wife dies, the husband only gets 50% of her pension. Only until a few years ago women got taxed less than men on their incomes.

Women are in for a huge fucking shock when they get true equality.

Women are already bitching up a storm because in 2020 they will have to retire at the same age as men and work 30 years for their pension tax credits.  Sadly, only women will still be able to get pension tax credits for staying home and taking care of the kids.

This is why I always say that people need to set their BT clients up to suit their broadband speeds.

I've always loved how open and honest Cher's interviews are.

GWB is a homophobe, but not a racist.

So far 3 UK governments {Blair, Brown and the current coalition} have said they do not intend to revisit the gay rights issue as we are already equal.

In the UK gay couples are treated as such, even if they don't have a civil partnership, when it comes to getting state benefits. The same applies to hetero couples. So far the equality issue is intact.

However, excluding relationship by blood, your hetero spouse and gay/lesbian partner can also be your next of kin. Now here is where the UK fails in their "separate, but equal" rubbish.  Non married hetero couple that have lived together for 6 months or more are also considered next of kin.  The same rule DOES NOT apply to non civil partnershiped gay couples.

So someone tells you that gays have total equality in the UK, excluding the word "marriage" and all the international acceptance that word has, just remember this.  It's one of a number of things in the UK where we are still 2nd class citizens.

This is part of the reason why I live in the UK.

Don't forget, Obama loves us so much, that he has used extremely nasty tactics in defending DoMA in court.  According to the Obama administration {Obama personally defended using such tactics}, our relationships are no better than incest, bestiality and pedophilia.

Stop torturing yourself and put an end to it, once and for all.

The relationship is over, so move on. You'll be so much happier once you do.

Due to DoMA, US federal employees can get partly funded pet insurnce, but they can not get insurance for gay/lesbian partner.

While Obama has repeatedly made promises to repeal DoMA {and DADT, and pass ENDA} he and his administration are on their 4th defense of DoMA.  In previous defenses, they said that gays do not deserve marriage because gay relationships were no better than incest, bestiality and pedophilia.

With friends like Obama, who needs enemies.

What were the bus driver and matron doing while this was going on?!

I seriously doubt that school buses have been so severely redesigned since I was in school that they didn't know it was going on.
