    What if no one could earn more than $100,000 a year?

    i'm interested that the main reason people are giving on here for this not working is that there would be a decline in the number of doctors etc. surely this isn't a bad thing? by which i mean such a system would weed out those who go into a profession such as medicine for nothing other than the...

    Child Porn Charges for comedian; edited video makes it appear children were listening to dirty song

    hahaha! that's pretty ridiculous. the best one i've ever had was when i was doing a character that satirised british builders and a girl asked me what right i had to comment on the stereotype of builders. she wasn't a builder, she just didn't think they were smart enough to defend themselves...

    Child Porn Charges for comedian; edited video makes it appear children were listening to dirty song

    sadly this is, in some respects, very true. although having said that the divide between stereotyping of a nation (ie. all scots are tight fisted sheep fiddlers) and racial abuse seems to have blurred severely in the minds of many people to the extent that even mentioning another racial or...

    Child Porn Charges for comedian; edited video makes it appear children were listening to dirty song

    i would agree with street footage, it would be impossible to get the permission of everyone caught on camera to use their image but when it comes to schools i would be very surprised if the parents weren't informed that a film crew was going to be there, at which point they would be asked if...

    Child Porn Charges for comedian; edited video makes it appear children were listening to dirty song

    one question no one seems to be asking here is did he get the permission of the parents to use the footage from the first video (which he would have needed their permission to record) in the second video? i dont really know how the law works on that issue in the us, but as far as i know, here in...

    "Cannabis use under Licence" Proposes leading Scientist

    i've actually been thinking about this for some time now and to me it makes a lot of sense. if people were licensed to grow cannabis, for whatever reason, then there would be several benefits: 1. organised crime would no longer be able to make big money growing and distributing weed. you could...

    Are all the gentlemen dead now?

    Smoking in the U.S

    . My main problem with smoking is second hand smoke. Killing yourself is your own problem, dont make it mine. here is an extract from a letter published in issue 2710 of New Scientist magazine: "i have spent years looking for published evidence that environmental tobacco is dangerous to...

    most irritating aspects of games

    ok i know this has probably been done before but this is my first topic post so... be nice. anyway i have to say the most irritating thing i have found in games is when they put in first person/fixed camera jumping puzzles. ridiculously annoying and usually needless. thats my opinion and for...

    Why do people think Socialism is Evil

    i dont hate socialism as a political ideal, i just hate Tommy Sheridan and every other preachy ball-licker that supports it. i am an ex socialist and all there is to say is that socialists ruined socialism for me.

    Poll: Israel: Is it's existence justified?

    its interesting to read (ok skim over) the varying arguments here and watch a lot of people getting their knickers in a twist. there's a lot of really strong religious feeling coming from people who are at the same time pretending to not have a religious interest here. so here's the scoop...

    Political Correctness Gone Mad

    on the whole black coffee/coloured coffee thing i think we have missed the point, and indeed the most racist aspect of cafes because, even though they are often in the same bowl, "white" and "brown" sugar are kept in completely seperate packs. this doesn't engender a sense of intigration within...
