  1. Hi RFD, I'm not sure your legal advice in your post or your sig. is correct. For instance, the right to bear arms etc. is "subject to other laws" and these have clearly been passed. So I doubt the Magna Carta still stands in this case I would have expected more recent legislation on this subject.
  2. Yes, in theory, possible. In practice, extremely difficult. Economically, no way.
  3. Ah yes... because numbers on screens are what wealth is made of. Not food, or forestry products, or minerals. My mistake.
  4. You fool. Land is not the same kind of thing as interest or inheritance or any other kind of capital. Similarly you obsess about property rights. Don't you understand that the current property regime is as much theft as the current tax regime?
  5. Surely any advertising for housepricecrash.co.uk should be paid for by the site owners who make a lot of money from this site? edit: sp
  6. beans tinfoil toilet roll airgun & pellets shotgun & license
  7. Counterproductive as usual, I would not have read or taken notice of these questions without them being banned, and I bet they now have a might higher circulation than if the G had published in the normal course of things.
  8. So where is the competition website? Google only returns this discussion & the Mail story.
  9. The peoples republic of Shinyyellowstan has no plans to devalue the shinyyellow currency, so that might provide a useful benchmark.
  10. CO2 heavier than air - but it is lighter than rock, so if you put it underground it will tend to come up to the surface, unless there is a physical barrier or chemical 'locking in'. I think mmgw is happening, but I have no idea what the best thing to do about it is, short of stopping burning fossil fuels, which aint going to happen, and still wouldnt be enough. This kind of thing is a useless and expensive waste of money feelgood sticking plaster.
  11. Wait a minute - there is more to this than meets the eye. If they were serious about doing this they'd supress the dangers, not announce them. Are they positioning themselves to abandon CO2 emission reductions?
  12. OK, I agree, that it's not the same problem we're discussing here. But it is a big problem of its own and according to some commentators the two problems are linked
  13. The BoE buys govt. bonds from private dealers, using money it has just created from nothing for that very purpose. The BoE now has a vault full of govt. bonds, and there is a load more money swilling round the economy than there was before. At some point down the line the BoE is meant to sell the bonds, recieving payment from dealers in £ sterling. Then the BoE is meant to "destroy" this money so we are back where we started. 1. How convenient that the UK government bond market is looking better than predicted - there seems to be more demand for bonds than everyone thought! 2. Hands up who thinks the bonds will really be sold back into the market for the full amount paid for them, and the proceeds destroyed by the BoE. Some good analysis at http://www.cynicuseconomicus.blogspot.com
  14. Only to a point - resource use cannot continue to expand exponentially.
  15. Now the whole dorum goes off beyond the right hand side of my screen.
  16. All the fonts are too small and hard to read, against the too=big and too-loud background. Also the buttons overlap the post text here too.
  17. Erm.. Er.. etc... Tesco are evil. Spend all your wodge on drugs and booze and fast cars.
  18. Fools! You are all forgetting that, even if food, cars, consumer goods etc. were produced by robots completely free, everyone would still need to work full time to pay for their house!
