As a British citizen I suspect you do not know that you are talking out of your backside ("arse").
That is _not_ how international law works, and that is _not_ how either the Commonwealth or the EU work. Law isn't automatically carried over anywhere, even when a current member of one of those bodies - which for instance I don't recall Singapore ever being.
It really, really doesn't look like a compass rose. It looks a lot like target crosshairs (around a circular view). A compass rose uses very different and usually more ornate direction pointers.
A compass rose would be nonsensical in this context, and if misused to be like a crosshair functionally becomes a crosshair.
There's nothing wrong with that. Plenty of electricity users get discounts for non-peak hour usage. Some companies openly throttle internet at peak hours. It would be a better way to encourage people to distribute their 'load' better.
Of course, actually investing in network development (and using all those pocketed subsidies) would be better for the welfare-queen ISPs.
What sucks as well here is that if you have a SIM-less tablet or laptop and rely on phone tethering to get signal, you will be limited to the phone resolution, not the tablet resolution.
You know, everyone else managed to end slavery long before you, without a massively damaging civil war, and without having to arm everyone unnecessarily. We also manage to preserve our democracies without armed citizens, using only our national armies and a belief in the sanctity of human life and the ballot box, not bullets.
Whilst it can seem unfair, subject to the whole "well-regulated militia" thing that doesn't apparently mean what it says, I'd be far more concerned about the issue of felons losing ther rights to vote in perpetuity. _That_ is far more restrictive to a functioning democracy.
Re: Re: Re: Post WWII Germany? Really? That's your comparison?
1940, 1941...Germany was running rampant around Europe and Russia (with some Italian help). France was flattened and the UK restricted to its sceptred Isle. The US was conspicuous by its usual absence from the war against dictators.
1942, Japan joins in the fun, taking over the Far East and giving the US a big black eye. Fortunately, Germany was stupid enough to declare war on the US as well as the USSR and you lazybones decided to get involved in both campaigns. After a long, slow 2-year grind we were slowly making progress, and after 3 we finally won.
So no, we don't think we've lost yet, Sooner or later the inhumanity of the GOP/Mango Mussolini's program will come back to bite them and we can take a few more steps forward to universal health, well-being and prosperity.
You mean, Trump does a bunch of stupid things that only benefit the super-rich and large companies and this story fits that experience perfectly - not much of a hit piece then, if it's along the lines of "Orange Dictator carries out more of his regular legislative plan".
Tell you what. When Trump actually helps some of the less well-off (without there being some huge pay-off elsewhere) then we'll protest these stories more. Until then, we'll continue to believe his actions are consistently anti-humane.
Oh goodie, can we arrest and expel Americans with impunity because of your illegal Iraq war?
That's stupidly broad, and was ridiculous in WW2; more so now. Just because someone is an illegal alien doesn't give the government the right to treat them illegally, and moreso if it is a blanket abuse based on nationality, race or religion.
Except that France isn't directly affected, and if the US companies can't ban users in the US, they may look to expand the X-strikes idea abroad where there are no pesky Constitutions. Then they will find some way to weasel them back in.

No Amendment can be absolute without society itself being compromised.
By the way, what is your stance on ex-felons voting? Any reason to abridge that right?
While we are at it, how about 10-year-olds voting?
