Yes in a way, but that was Feudalism. So the King still had a band of thugs to go around collecting taxes. Plus you have to remember we didn't have that awesome little invention called the "gun" which became the great equalizer of power between the big and the small, and the government and the masses. Of course, the British aren't so keen on guns strangely enough. I don't get it - you press a button and the other guy is dead, how cool is that? Now you've got to bludgeon your aggressor to death with a iron poker, that's far less humane.

Brilliant! This man is my hero. Of course, the jury will think, "Well I pay my taxes every year! Why shouldn't he?! That's not fair!" and lock him up for life. Just my guess. If the case is argued all the way to the Supreme Court, the new Justice Sotomayor will use her superior Latina mind to find him guilty. It's "fraud", "greed", and "criminal" when you try to avoid theft.

Stealing money is so easy when it's institutionalized like taxes are. I wish politicians had to go house-to-house with guns to collect taxes, rather than relying on agencies and automatic withholding.

I think your wife could help with your masturbation problem. But that's awesome you're writing for the BBC! Maybe you could be the next Ricky Gervais.

Listen to some Jon Hopkins, that's pretty uplifting music.

I've sold three already! Finally a business plan that's working.

Hubbard would probably be peeved off about how crappy the current management of Scientology have been lately. He'd regain control of his wayward religion and say something sassy like, "DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF AROUND HERE?" and file a few lawsuits.

Oh my god, lol. You'd have a lot to worry about.

Raspberry and pomegranate. I want them to be tangy and crunchy.

I have a few of them. 1. Choose the modest, middle-class route. Work my way up from a base-level job to middle-management, where I scrimp and save to finance a meager existence for myself and travel the world once or twice in my 90 years time on this planet. 2. Start a business selling flavored rice-krispy treats to passersby which I then take public. Sell my shares for $40 billion and spend the rest of my days in Monaco gambling with hotties and chilling in my Spanish mansion - which, incidentally, you can see here: http://www.sothebysrealty.com/en/PropertyDetailsPopUp.aspx?R=4100009642&Seq=1 3. Get convicted of "hindering an officer" and pay a $1000 fine plus spend a year in jail. Having a misdemeanor on my record means I'm only employable as a janitor in this Obama-conomy, so I live in a mobile home in my grandmother's back yard for the foreseeable future. This is the most likely outcome.

It's called a "human interest" story. And I think the street name should stay! I bet a lot of people would love to have an address with "butt hole" in it for the novelty factor. It could send property valuation there sky-high! Arab princes would start the bidding wars.

It's too bad you can't take a logically consistent belief system (like rational objectivism or universally preferable behavior) and slap a zombie-alien born to a virgin on it to make it appealing to the masses.

What's really funny is my arrest warrant. The officer says I "Knowingly and willfully attempt to frustrate and hinder the custody of a suspect, who had been placed under arrest by Deputies with the Kershaw County Sheriff office. The subject did unlawfully sneak onto the property where the arrest was effectuated and did remove the suspect therefrom." 1. My brother wasn't under arrest at the time. If he was, how did he get in my car? 2. I didn't sneak onto the property. I parked my car, approached the cops, and talked to them. 3. I never removed my brother from the property. I backed up four feet. The only time we left the property was in the back of the cop car wearing handcuffs. Ahh police. Never trust them, they will lie.

Because religions think they've got a monopoly on marriage. Besides not being gay, Christians never wear mixed fibers or eat shellfish, either. Little known fact.

Typically people who support gay marriage also support a "woman's right to choose", but I think you and I are among the incredibly tiny minority who think abortion is wrong and gay marriage is OK. But yeah, the court's decision is entirely illogical, as usual. Democracy is tyranny of the majority.

So apparently Paul has a thang for gay porn and projection. Interesting. I doubt this "girlfriend" he speaks of is real.

God, if only I could. If I won the lottery I'd totally be a flight risk. Would they devote resources to tracking me down and arresting me on the other side of the world? Probably. Obama would personally take the case and lead the search effort.

The "dramatic chipmunk" would be appropriate for this thread's title but I'm too lazy to go look up the GIF now.

This is probably the worst idea. Now they're going to look like martyrs. Honestly if you want to keep people away from Scientology, try to get them to join Scientology. That cult is its own worst enemy.

It could also be because men are becoming more likely to report abuse. It's been well documented that women commit the majority of abuse in relationships, but men are afraid of looking like pansies for reporting it.

There's a bit of a catch-all charge the police officers in America use to arrest people who hurt their feelings/ generally annoy them - "Hindering an Officer". Back in late February I went to pick my brother up from a party where there was underaged drinking (the legal age in America to consume alcohol is 21 - the highest in the world). So I arrived on scene at around 1:00 am and approached three cops who were watching over a group of kids. I said "My brother is in that group of kids. Is he under arrest?" and they said "No, not yet, but we're still deciding what to do with them all." and I asked him how long it would take for them to decide and he said, "Not long." So I told them I'd go wait in my car until then. So I sat in my car for about 15 minutes when my brother hopped in the front seat and said "It's okay, we can go now." and I backed up about 4 feet when I saw two cops running at us waving their arms. I stopped the car, cut it off, and they dragged me out and cuffed me. I spent three nights in jail.

lol David Gray is the shiz. Okay well I just got back from the courthouse. Today was my 2nd court appearance, which is where you're supposed to either admit you're guilty of the charge, or ask for a jury trial. I was minutes away from seeing the judge when my lawyer came back and told me he spoke to the solicitor. The solicitor delayed my 2nd court appearance to August 24th, so I got to leave before seeing the judge. My lawyer says the solicitor wants to keep dragging this out in hopes the cop will either forget about it or not care anymore. I think he's just a pansy and is scared of pissing off the cop, because the solicitor has the final say in whether to prosecute me or not. Also my lawyer said that if it does end up going to trial, I'd definitely win. Fun times. God Bless America.

I'm gay and I wouldn't watch that crap. You can tell her I said that.
