Haha, nice. Not exactly the meaning of compromise intended by the poster I was replying to but very good, I hadn't thought of that meaning when I posted.

Since when has compromise meant do the exact opposite of everything promised in their election manifesto? That is not compromising, that is selling out your principles for a whiff of power. Sure, the Conservatives throw them a small bone now and then, so they can claim they are exerting influence, but most people see right through that which is why their poll ratings have sunk like a stone.

Yep, that's exactly what the Liberal Democrats did in the UK. They started out promising a different kind of government, but as soon as they got a whiff of power they ditched all their promises to ally themselves with the Conservatives.

Dreamfall, by Funcom, is very like a film. It is an adventure game that that progresses through puzzles and cutscenes and dialogue. It is also one of my favourite games. The story is a lot better than most films because most films these days are very generic. I played through Dreamfall 10 times because I enjoyed the story so much, even though I knew how to complete it.

I would never trust the media when they report on local weather. About 20 years ago I lived next door to my local radio station, right in the middle of town. The weather report said it was a beautiful sunny day. I looked out of my window and it was pouring down.

If it wasn't for your bad-tempered reply to yourself, I would probably have moderated you up. I rarely use my moderator points for any other purpose than correcting troll/flamebait moderations I consider unfair. But you shot yourself in the foot instead. Maybe a bit more patience would serve you well. Also gratuitous shouty swearing doesn't help.

The UK government have already instilled this fear. If an islamic man had posted that about a white woman, you can guarantee he would be arrested, charged and convicted for it. Similar has already happened. If this councillor gets away with it it'll be yet another case of hypocrisy from our corrupt government.

I agree, have none of the editors read Iain M Banks? Artificial Intelligence can run the world better than any human can.

'Iraq? They have incredible weapons, incredible weapons.' 'How do you know?' 'We looked at the receipt, and as soon as the cheque clears, we're going in.'
