Part of my job is to ask every single person their name and date of birth and then verify it matches our computer records. It's amazing the things people will give their kids as a first name to match up with their surnames just to make a terrible joke. It's just so freaking cruel, but to do it to their own children just for lullz. And then I always wonder why the hell they don't have their name changed. They wouldn't even have to give the courts a reason - it would be super obvious.

I wouldn't put it past him.

Honestly I'll take my chances with a national guard unit any day of the week. They've killed what, 4 civilians on US soil in the last 45 years? 4 dead people is a slow news week by police standards.

I knew a Charlie Brown. Before he worked at the Paramount he worked at the W hotel as a front desk clerk. Kid came up to him, probably the hundredth to do so, and asked him how snoopy was. He told the kid Snoopy had to be put down years ago. Apparently the kid didn't stop crying til they made it to their hotel room. Charlie, actually Bruce Charles Brown died a few years back. I still tell that damned story whenever I can. Man, I miss him. Oh, at the same job, there's a volunteer, Richard Head.

Here's a bunch of Sun front pages that aren't "Gotcha!" I sort of appreciate the sentiment, but the manner of articulation leaves something to be desried:  The Americans got Bin Laden:  Left: morning edition. Right: late edition:  Left (  ): Scottish Sun. Right (): London Sun.

Amphigory posted:Say what you want about old Rupert, but he always backs a winner... At least in Australia, that's because he picks the winner. He blatantly propagandizes whichever party benefits his holdings the most, and since he owns most of the papers and the subscription TV model he'll influence a fuckton of the outcome. Sometimes the poo poo he'll get away with as a 'news outlet' is funny in how flagrant it is.  Yeah, that certainly looks like an impartial analysis of the political situation.

Amphigory posted:Say what you want about old Rupert, but he always backs a winner... Nobody will get a majority. The arithmetic just isn't there. Based on my awareness of the figures, it's very likely that Labour could have gotten a majority, but the SNP surge has undercut that quite drastically. Nonetheless, they still have a good chance of being the biggest party next Friday, but they're looking at a minority government with support from Plaid (if they get anyone in) and possibly the DUP. Of course, neither of them have much presence here, so I'll probably end up voting for Lady Hermon again. I don't tend to decide until the last minute, though.

I know this isn't the thread, but can you in very few words describe the difference compared to the Danish system? Cause we have had maybe five majority governments ever, aside from them it's all been coalitions of a right or left spectrum of parties. Wouldnt it be kindof the same in Australia, then? To make actual legislation, they'd need to get some other parties on top of their own?

I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with the Danish system. I assume it uses multiple-member constituencies and a proportional electoral formula? In that case, the key difference is that Britain relies on single-member constituencies with a plurality electoral formula. This gives rise, at least in theory, to what is known as Duverger's law; when the Single Member Plurality system is used, it will tend to produce a two-party system with a tendency toward majority governments in the parliament. Obviously, this is not always the case in practice.

Yeah, in Denmark all parties above 2% get their share of the total seats, in that sense its very fair. Imo the real problem is the constituency voting anything right of left. :marx: wtf why doesnt this smiley exist
