When I first looked at the picture I thought the UK was green (muslim law) and I laughed a fair bit <.<

Don't know what you're laughing about. That's soon going to be a reality.

Anyway, back on-topic, what is the better law system; Common or Civil law? Or is there even a "better" system at all?

And I welcome it.

We'll be ready for them.

The irony is that most of these people now claiming Skyrim is shallow can look fondly at their 200+ hours of adventuring in a still-true technical benchmark with genre-defining mechanics. It's just silly. Skyrim is, without debate, a ridiculously detailed, expansive, content-filled and organic game. There's a reason that the worst parts of the game are the scripted story pieces, and that's because the game absolutely succeeds at being open-world and player-driven. I'm not even sure what the "depth of a puddle" is referring to. Surely it's not talking about the lore available in the game, or the hundreds of completely optional locations, hundreds of quests followed by procedurally generated quests, or the thorough crafting system? Of course, the game isn't a character-driven vidya novella a la Witcher, but the series never claims to be such. It's a giant fucking world with tons of stuff to do and tons of lore to uncover, and it kicks ass at it.

Hmm of the systems detailed here, Civil sounds slightly less uh... prone to whimsy. If everyone is following from the same set of rules rather than the rules set out by a higher court that dealt with a similar case a long time ago it seems a bit... better really.

I'm really not a fan of the yank system for arguing in courts, it really does seem to just be ripe for abuse and favouring those who hire the better (more expensive) lawyers <_<

Question though, I imagine it'd be unimaginably difficult for a country to change from common to civil - would you agree? <.<

I think it's unlikely to be coming out as a NICE approved treatment anytime soon, at least not whilst we still have other forms of treatment that do work.

I can see how it would be beneficial in the form of a distraction for migraines, the trouble with it being recommended for a psychological trouble is that you would be inducing a destructive coping mechanism which brings reasonably obvious issues up <.<

Even when conventional treatments/combined approach doesn't work (Meds + CBT) there are still other therapies that are the (hopefully) trump cards to play. ECT and DBT as noodles mentioned are some of those and despite the um, stigma within a stigma I guess of that sort of treatment they do really help some people <.<

I guess if it was a complete last resort, every other treatment having failed and the person repeatedly attempting suicide and the like, it could be trialled under the supervision of a medic/psych combo but egh it's really not likely to be something we'd ever see. The outcry over it would damage the profession massively which subsequently does a lot more harm to society at large when people are again terrified of the shrink's office and the stigma that goes with it.

An interesting idea to chew over though <.<
