if the founding fathers could see 1/100th of what goes on in the modern USA, they'd start yet ANOTHER revolution.
(and they'd be called terrorists, too!)
They might be called terrorists. They would be called undead.
Enjoy over-stating things, do we? Blade Runner has 3 versions and an unofficial workprint

Even though they might get a lesser sentence, they have historically been held just as responsible. There is such a thing as moral obligations. If you do not agree with a certain order you (should) have the right to be a conscientious objector.

Sometimes people answer a standard question with "jawel" to indicate 'Yes!'. I'm not sure whether that is appropriate, but it causes no real confusion. What does confuse me (and often them) is answering a negated question with "ja".
On the other hand, it always confuses people when I answer their "Do you want coffee or tea?" question with "Yes" when I don't care, so maybe it's all my fault.
Blake's 7?
The ship was a cardboard cut out for frack's sake.
Not really. I saw the model up close about 12 years ago and talked to the maker. IIRC, he said it cost about 3000 GBP to make. (Maybe less, but it was expensive.)
You're probably thinking of the oak leaves that were used to represent a giant space brain.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
