There are laws about paying your meter bill. There are no laws about building a world destruction laser in a secret volcano lair.

I see that the world media is portraying the USA as having a huge melt down over the verdict in Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. Just so you know, yesterday in my home town I went for a long walk, had a Margarita on the front porch of my uncle's home, and played video games with my daughter. There was an up-ended garbage can downtown - possibly the result of some violent protest - but most likely up-ended by my neighbor, Mrs. Eire, aged 96, who has tendency to bump into things with her 1989 Oldsmobile. I didn't meet anyone who had any clue as to what was going on with that case. In short, most of America doesn't care and most of America looks on with utter amazement as cesspools like L.A. and NYC descend into violence at every opportunity. Bear in mind that these are the two locations in our country that people go to when they want to establish an acting career - over acting is what they do. So I propose we make a deal: I suggest that I won't believe the news outlets when they find Euro-scum and portray human debri as representative of some vast movement across the pond if you'd return the same courtesy. Thanks.
I live in Florida about 3 hours from Tampa and to be honest I didn't know the verdict until someone told me. Traffic was light today, there was a mild cold rain all weekend.

there is if you bypass the meter
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
Bypassing the meter is an important safety measure: when you fire up this baby, the little dials would spin so fast they might start a fire!

Not all of LA or New York are cesspools: only the bits where the rioters live. Must say I find it ironic that you protest against violence by being violent and trashing your own back yard. As an aside, since when has justice had anything to do with the law? He was found not guilty by a jury of his peers: that should be the end of it.

Personally, I do not understand the logic of: Smashing store windows, overturning cars, looting, beating people up, setting fires, etc, in order to: protest violence in society....
If only that's what they were protesting. I think the people doing these things just look for an excuse to break stuff.

I saw it as a sign of solidarity -- I mean, we British have to hate the French by law, so it's nice to see our Leftpondian brothers supporting it.

According to that same Article. You need to look beyond the simple table of numbers and read about the accuracy of that table.

It is -- except that it's called football, because it involves interacting with a ball using only one's feet (hence the trampling being particularly apropos).

We know the Citizens of Mega City 1 and Mega City 2 are not representative of you all. In the same way that not all British Men are Genius Master Criminal, despite how Hollywood portrays us.

I don't. In the lead-up to the revolution, more Germans went to the US than Britons. And look what happened.

It's a picture of Joice Grenfell / Ruby Gates in the St Trinians films. The proper ones, not the newer ones.

Well, "missed" is subjective. Just because I did not include the "Alfie era", doesn't mean it was missed for inclusion, but that I only included the "Bond era's" of the 60's & 90's. This set is not an absolute definitive, but an enumerated set wherein any other era(s) is/are neither denied nor impaired from such enumeration. Be that as it may, altogether, a focused enumeration does not preclude the absence of otherwise declarative attributes herein qualified as optionally identifiable potential candidates therein. I miss England and would love to visit again. Alas, much has changed, I'm confident, since 1983.
This sentence is a lie.

He was found Not Guilty by a jury of his peers after a the police and prosecutor decided there was no case, after the DOJ and instigators forced a case...and when it came to trial, the prosecution's witnesses gave the evidence that supported the Not Guilty verdict.

Yes, "all" is all. However, in this context & sentence grammatical structure, the word "all" is referring to the successor (that which follows it), not that which precedes it. Specifically, "all" is not referring to all of "the 60's and 90's (Genius Master MI-5 Spies)", but to "all British men" alive during the 60's and 90's eras as being just like and/or equated and/or to holding the same charm, debonair and swash-buckling hero-status as the "Genius Master MI-5 Spies". Though, "Keeping up Appearances" which wsaroadcast between 1990 and 1995 on BBC One, didn't exactly contribute to that of "all British men" looked upon as being just like the "Genius Master MI-5 Spies"! Likewise, "Are You Being Served?", a British sitcom broadcast from 1972 to 1985, contributed to those decades as *not* being when "all British men" were looked upon as being just like the "Genius Master MI-5 Spies", either!
