The crime of the burglar is just as bad – save for the fact that they didn’t need to cause any damage by breaking in – he is still a thief.
But the homeowner deserves a lower or zero insurance payout for not taking reasonable measures to protect their property.
Most of the trolleys at our local Asda don’t push straight, while most of the ones at the local Sainsbury’s do! It’s something to do with the electromagnetic anti-theft brake on the Asda trolleys, I think. Anyway, let’s blame it on the Jehovah’s witnesses because they can’t fight back!
I imagine christians would be able to purchase advent calendars in some ‘muslim’ countries, like Egypt, Pakistan, Lebanon or even Iraq, which have christian minorities, if they look hard enough. In islamist countries like Saudi Arabia or Iran it might be impossible – same in Nepal, I think, where hinduism is the only religion that is permitted to be practiced openly.
As an athiest, where can I get Darwin Day cards?
I agree these big turbines need to be sited sensitively, I wouldn’t want to live right next to one. But one of these turbines does the job that a whole group of the smaller ones does.
I used to live near Stansted Airport when they were first talking about expanding it in the late 60’s. I think air travel will peak and then go into decline as fuel gets more and more expensive and eventually becomes scarce.
One thing about windfarms is that their decommissioning costs are tiny compared to those of a nuclear power station. If a turbine is no longer needed, it can just be removed, the top of the foundation levelled off and returned to nature. OK, I know it needs 500 big turbines to produce the same output as a typical nuclear station!
The guy faces possible life imprisonment in USA for hacking from Britain. He probably won’t get such a severe sentence and I don’t know what the maximum penalty is here.
If someone denounces Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the religious thought police of Iran, they’d be committing a serious offence under Iranian law, but if they do so here they’ve committed no crime. So should they expect to be extradited to Iran if they dis the dinnerjacket? Would the fact that one could just conceivably be charged here with inciting hatred for criticising the Iranian regime be grounds for granting extradition to Iran, if their government requests it?
You like gadgets. eh? Try this one if you dare! Turn the sound up as you watch.
(not rude, not gruesome – unless you happen to be a tree!)We have a right to challenge the belief in god or gods or other superstitions and to give our reasons why. I used to be a Christian but now I’m a humanist-atheist, perhaps even a Dawkinist! I believe, as an atheist, that we should be out debunking religions and their silly myths with missionary zeal!
Perhaps they are leaving them as bait to catch the dealers.
Round where I live there was a supposed dealer that everone knew about, who lived in what the kids called the ‘Drug House’. Apparently the police had swooped once or twice but never found anything and the dealer carried on.
My theory was that the police were waiting until they had pieced together the chain of dealers up as far as the Mr. Bigs. Sure enough, a year or two ago, there was a big regional drugs swoop and they got this guy, among many others. The Drug House has been closed and locked up ever since.

look at the sentences dished out to the great train robbers all those years ago…..totally ott
Nonsense! They killed a train driver. They deserved everything they got.
