Please shut up. I have had read through this thread and comments. You are peddling this whole "look how badly I have been treated" far too much. First world problem. Please grow up and shut up.You get us faggots a bad press and all us queers get tarred with the same brush as you whingeing queens.
By the way, in the supermarket where I buy food, they sell a delicious food called… faggots.
You know, this sort of thing cracks me up. How many commentators would quite happily download a pirate copy of something, but get angry when someone does pretty much the same thing to them?
Quote "Proactive measures are much better, because they stop the problem before it can gain a foothold AND they reduce the scope of the remaining problem so that other measures have a better chance of dealing with gracefully." Umquote.
Is that not what China and North Korea are doing? (And my government is trying to do the same). And they rightfully get slagged off for doing it.
What is the difference between moderation and censoring?
Regardless of whether it is forum users shutting people up by down voting them into silence or moderators shutting them up it is still censorship.
And as earlier comments show, when the forum users do the censoring it verges on bullying.
I never said anything about what we laughingly refer to as our government. Please trust me on this, but my "government" probably paid channel 4 to do this story.
They will do anything to stir up any problem which will somehow, "prove" that encryption has to be weakened. For our own good of course.
But, yes. The general population generally just carry on as normal.
As I live in England, I just have to say that if your country (wherever that is) is bombed as often as mine is, I hope you remember your piss taking words. And for what it is worth, from where I am standing, I don't see any panic. Moral or otherwise. But then to panic is not the British way is it.
Off topic I know, but tis article made no sense to me. Until I finally twigged that in the United States you drive on the opposite side of the road to us. (I live in England). I obviously need more beer…
I do think those police officers behaved appallimgly but to carry that amount of cash? Imagine having your car stolen or God forbid having an accident and the car setting on fire.
If I watched that amount of money burning I would WANT to die! And suppose the money was a loan? That had to be paid back? Words fail…
I live in England so this is a genuine question. If they can take your house what do you have to do for them to do so? What if you have a family? Do they just dump you and yours on the street? What happens if you have a mortgage on the house? Thank you in advance to anyone who answers
I can"t decide whether you are being sarcastic or not. If you are, your sarcasm is shite. If you"re not then you are just a gobshite. In that case maybe you should ask mummy if she will let you play outside. Preferably on a motorway…

Re: Re: You protest too much
Though I have to hold my hand up and admit to missing the bit about faggots.
But as they say, scratch the surface…

Though I suppose what we Brits laughingly call "our government" are all ready to do something similar.

They can take your house????
If they can take your house what do you have to do for them to do so? What if you have a family? Do they just dump you and yours on the street? What happens if you have a mortgage on the house?
Thank you in advance to anyone who answers
