  on UK Prime Minister Apparently Last To Realize New EU Net Neutrality Rules Mean No Porn Filtering
  Some will. Some won't because of this. If you can't plug all the holes in the bucket you're saying we shouldn't bother at all?

  on UK Prime Minister Apparently Last To Realize New EU Net Neutrality Rules Mean No Porn Filtering
  I don't understand the problem? If you don't want it just opt out. Simple.
  
  If it stops the children of just one lazy/ignorant parent accidentally viewing porn then it will be useful. This is what society should be about: protecting its most vulnerable citizens when they're unable to protect themselves.

  I don't understand the problem here

  on The Great Selfie-Stick Ban Of 2015 Has Commenced
  When I was a lad we used to call these 'group photographs' and if we wanted one where we were both in it we would ask a passing stranger if they wouldn't mind taking it.
  
  Why has this innocent pastime suddenly been deemed 'narcissism' just because we now have a device that enables us to avoid bothering a random passer-by?

  Spoke in a wheel

  on France Says Corporate Sovereignty Must Come Out Of CETA, Or Be Replaced By Something Completely Different
  Wouldn't a massive spoke in a wheel be a good thing? Spokes are what add strength to a wheel.

  Incompetence

  on Total Wipes Blames Trying To Take Down Every Page With The Word 'Download' On 'A Bug'
  There may or may not be a bug but either way this company is clearly irresponsible and incompetent. At what point do Google simply say "Enough. You can't be trusted to access the takedown API any longer" and pull the plug on them?

  I can see the headlines now

  on European Space Scientists Unwilling To Release High-Quality Images From Publicly-Funded Rosetta Mission
  This all seems above board. It's not like they're saying we can't ever have it. Load of fuss about nothing.

  Not in the rest of the world

  on Paris, France To Sue Fox News For Being Fox News
  Fiction may be the point of US cable news but elsewhere in the world we take our news outlets slightly more seriously. The BBC manage to cover world events instead of hyperbole. You know, like a news channel.

  What is the matter with you people? (as lee)

  on DailyDirt: Spoiler Alert... Santa Claus Ain't Real
  Of course he's not real, but why would you spoil a child's enjoyment of the happiest time of the year by telling them he's not real before they work it out for themselves? What kind of a selfish ahole would do such a thing? Religious people, I suspect, keen to ensure that the only magical man in the sky anyone believes in is theirs. We can't have children questioning god at the same time as time as discovering the other bearded man in the sky doesn't exist, can we?

  Don't worry Americans

  on Will Cheese Derail TAFTA/TTIP?
  This cuts both ways. If it's approved you'll have equal protection for your own high quality cheeses like...Whizz..and String and...um...American?
  
  Joking aside I'm surprised more concern has made about Cheddar claiming its GI.

  Clearly I'm in the minority (as Lee)

  on Sheriff Determined To Find Some Reason To Arrest Parents Of Girls Who Are Accused Of Bullying Girl Into Suicide
  I can't believe I'm the only person here who thinks the parents deserve everything they're getting. If my son or daughter bully someone to the point of suicide on an electronic device you can be damn sure they'll lose the privilege of using it and suffer the legal consequences of their actions. Their poor parenting is the reason their kids are such assholes and they deserve to share in the responsibility and guilt.

  So...you knew from personal experience that wikipedia was wrong but you chose not to correct it so the rest of us could benefit?
