To kick things off, the UK Polling Report reported back in 2006 that 78pc of British Muslims (according to a poll commissioned by Channel 4) believed Kurt Westegaard, the Danish cartoonist who drew pictures of Muhammed, should've been prosecuted and 68pc believed those who insulted Islam should be prosecuted. CBS News reports 25pc of British Muslims supporting the 7/7 bombers. Pew Research shows 24pc believing suicide bombing is justified, which rises to 35pc for young Muslims. Civitas tells us that 33pc of British Muslims believe apostates should be killed. That same poll shows us 28pc want Britain to be an Islamic State and some 60pc didn't believe the Holocaust had happened. Pew again with statistics claiming only 7pc of British Muslims consider themselves British before Muslim, with 81pc explicitly thinking of themselves as Muslim first and foremost. This truly does worry me, and I really do feel sorry for the large minority (depending on where you draw the line) of decent Muslims who have to live with the legacy of their barbaric cousins.

I generally agree with Ben Bernanke -- at least when he was writing in 2003 -- that interest rates, real or nominal, are not reliably indicators of the stance of the central banks monetary policy. As Bernanke said, inflation and nominal income, or nGDP, are usually more reliable.
Of these, however, nominal income is the most reliable and it would be my advice to the Government to consider the Bank of England adopting a nominal income level target, to make sure aggregate demand isn't depressed during the shortfalls of the business cycle. It also has the added benefit of not leading to unnecessarily severe debt crises, as we saw in September 2008 with Lehman Brothers after the Federal Reserve in America had adopted a tight-money policy to combat inflation from an oil shock.

So they're keeping an eye on the radicals? I certainly don't believe that we should cut out free speech like the way your country has been doing things, but I don't see anything beyond 'logic' to focus on radicals seeing as they're (probably) more likely to start riots, uprisings, terrorist actions.
Warrantless and unregulated collection of private data isn't necessary to keep an eye on radicals. . .

First of all^
Second of all the government doesn't think you're important enough to spend 30 minutes looking through your countless pages of search history. There's no logical reason to feel violated.
I've told you many times before that the government has collected porn history as "back-up" to discredit radicals, and I've mentioned a few times before about how Scotland Yard kept files on journalists, as well as their families' medical records. This isn't about the government watching us, it's about stopping any sort of erosion which lends itself to a generally undesirable society.

that domain name just makes me cringe no offense
Don't worry. Most of the active people there are fervent communists. If I hadn't already given that up, using that forum would've made me.

When I say masochism, I'm only speaking colloquially. I don't mean some deep-seated, pathological enjoyment of his own emotional torment.

You are 50% Evil.
You are 33.3% Chaotic.
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
You are compelled by greed, hatred, jealousy, and a lust for destruction. You are hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and often unpredictable. You are out for whatever you can get and have no qualms about doing so in a ruthless and brutal manner. However, your plans are haphazard. Any alliances you make or groups you form are fragile and poorly organized. Some people would describe you as “Demonic.”
You are the stereotypical“Destroyer.” You believe in the destruction of not only beauty and life, but also the order and organization on which they stand.
Examples of charactersand people who fit into the same alignment as you include Jack the Ripper, Saddam Hussein, Blackbeard the Pirate, Cruella DeVille, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, Khan Noonian Singh, Dr. Evil, Professor Moriarty, and Lord Voldemort. Really, I'm the only person to have gotten evil? You people are either all excessively boring or compulsive liars.

He says that all our actions and decisions are the result of free will, and we are fundamentally responsible for what we do. He asks you if you agree with this statement. If you say "yes", he asks you to demonstrate your free will by exercising your ability to decide to now disagree with him instead.

Financial crises and bubbles don't matter when it comes to recessions.
What matters is monetary policy.

They've been having some form of outage like everyday for the past month and a half.
I honestly have to wonder what's up with them nowadays. It's as if their quality fell off a cliff, instead of some sort of slow, sad decline.

I think Verbatim's disdain for privacy stems from a sort of contempt for people who aren't willing to own their actions Nailed it.
Well fuck, I completely agree with you in those terms.

I think Verbatim's disdain for privacy stems from a sort of contempt for people who aren't willing to own their actions, and engage with a sense of self-reliance which I actually relate to very heavily. I don't see privacy as an end for its own sake, merely as a safe-guard from invasive (be they oppressive or paternalistic) governments.
But that's probably because I'm more of a political thinker.

Given the strongly linked nature of some of them, you can nominate a user for more than one category. Yes, you can suggest more categories. Yes, the Flood is just one big circle-jerk tonight.

Probably me, if I wanted to actually answer honestly.
I can't tell if we're all just saying this because we're narcissists, and it turns out none of us are actually the most intelligent.

largely false claims of WMDs
I don't care what the public believed.
180,000 dead Kurds suffered at the hands of these weapons. If that's not enough to motivate the electorate, then fuck the electorate.
The Syriam situation is just as bad - if not worse.
You're right, it's worse. There's no side one can peaceably support. I've chosen Assad, however, and I'll face the consequences of that in the future if I have to.
