    Default Hmmm, do I hate the UK more than I hate America?

    They said it was good for pregnant women too.

    Police have been given the go-ahead to use Taser stun guns against children.

    The relaxing of restrictions on the use of the weapons comes despite warnings that they could trigger a heart attack in youngsters.


    Until now, Tasers - which emit a 50,000-volt electric shock - have been used only by specialist officers as a "non lethal" alternative to firearms.
    Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

    Electrocution makes such a nice change from shooting innocent, but foreign looking, electricians in the face.

    We just get worse i'm afraid.

    I've been reading about what the Labour party is doing to your country, and it's just getting worse and worse. And I doubt the Conservatives are any better. If you guys go another term or two you'll have no freedoms left.

    Are you arguing it reduces police shootings?

    If Labour get in again i'm seriously thinking of getting the hell out of here.

    I don't think the Tories offer much but the one thing they do seem quite keen on is scrapping ID cards. I never thought i'd say it but i'd like to see a Tory government again, even if it is only for the salacious sex scandals.

    Oh, I get it now. But you still hate America too, right?

    I see the UK and the US as two deranged sisters in competition for my loathing, both adopting increasingly bizarre methods to attract my attention.

    However, today, i'm mostly hating Great Britain. Try harder USA.

    So long as he was foreign looking and standing in the wrong place it was his fault. Just be glad he wasn't in the US and reaching for a wallet, he'd have been shot at least 30 times....
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Yep, they just recently passed a law the other day in Britian that allows them to detain people for over a month without charges.

    YAY LIBERTY!

    However, we passed a national ID card into law a few years back, so strike 1 for us.

    I don't think it's passed yet. After failing to get 90 days, they've gone and had a re-think, pulling 42 days out of the air for no reason in particular.

    So we're still on 28 days for the time being.
