• Commented on University prof wants to put drinking on the curriculum
  The French system is excellent. If in the first year after you have passed your driving test you are tested and found to have ANY alcohol in your blood then you must retake your test. In France that is expensive...
• Commented on Amsterdam: O'Reilly Factor vs. reality
  Yes, as mentioned elsewhere, crime has fallen so hugely in Holland that they are now faced with either closing prisons or importing prisoners from Belgium. All this largely through decriminalizing a lot of drug use. Studies have shown time and...
• Commented on IKEA sends breastfeeder to the toilets
  This has nothing to do with Ikea and everything to do with a screwed up prudish American society. In France in Ikea the restaurant is full of breast-feeding women and the same in the UK. The US needs laws that...

• Commented on Putin slaps down Michael Dell at Davos
  yes indeed, any old country can build a Trojan horse to infect millions of computers worldwide. Any old country can produce more serious viruses than any other. Funny how they seem to mainly come out of Russia though!...
• Commented on Another London photographer arrested for "terrorism" (i.e. "taking a picture of a public building")
  Thank God I have left that dreadful country! The UK has more surveillance cameras per capita than anywhere in the world and is now seemingly, more paranoid than the old Iron Curtain countries. My how we used to laugh as...
• Commented on More Resistance to Free Range Kids
  The Mamma state knows best!!! BS. I travelled to school on my own on two buses from the age of 7 - this is such CRAP. Just about ANY 10yo could make this simple commute trip without society crumbling around...

• Commented on Watchismo is giving a free LIP diode watch to a BB reader!

• Commented on Famous Berkeley Bowl supermarket profiled in LA Times
  Hmm, it's only stealing if you leave the premises without paying for what you have bought or consumed. I suspect that this rule is unenforceable if people PAY for what they've sampled. If they tried to stop you touching and...
• Commented on Inside a London cab-driver's brain
  I lived in London most of my life and have now thankfully escaped it. But last time I was there a ride from Holloway into the City cost £30 because of traffic - ridiculous! I have also tested routes using...

• Commented on Make-believe police in UK have power to issue on-the-spot fines
  Well I AM English and if one of these bastards tried to fine me I would tell him to fuck off and walk away! Being as I imagine that they have no power to arrest you, if they laid a...
• Commented on Traffic cams bring in $250,000/month in a town with a $4.6 million budget
