		<description>Yeah, it&#039;s hard to adequately describe the that combination malignancy and avarice so that it fits on a bumpersticker. Besides, Sluts serve a useful purpose.

Perhaps:

&quot;Politicians == Society&#039;s Cancer&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;The US government doesn&#039;t subject copyright defendants to the same harsh treatment as suspected terrorists.&quot;

They sure don&#039;t, can&#039;t get suspected terrorists on a damn plane to the  US, but Richard O Dwyer, who&#039;s committed no damn crime here in the UK, is still being targeted for extradition to the  US on copyright offences, despite only hosting links to TV show torrents.

If I was as cynical as I actually am, I&#039;d suggest that terrorism just murders and injures people, and destroys people and families, therefore it&#039;s not really that important, whereas copyright infringement MIGHT cost a corporation ten bucks somewhere along the line therefore we need to call in a special forces team to take that guy down!

As above, prostitutes provide a needed service and really earn their money, so it&#039;s a terrible slander to compare them to politicians, because usually they are the ones f***ing us, and then still taking our money anyway.</description>

		<description> It was totally necessary. Dotcom had a self-destruct device that was going to crash the world&#039;s markets, cause pregnant women to miscarriage, poison the atmosphere to make the planet uninhabitable, and erase the evidence on the servers that the FBI had already seized...</description>

		<description>Nice.  How about bumper sticker style:  &quot;Not all politicians are whores.  Some are sluts.&quot;

A bit misogynistic.  But more thought provoking than the equally correct &quot;All politicians are assholes.&quot;</description>

		<description>Exactly! We all know London is in Ontario.

I went on writing Reading, Royal Berks on letters long after  it wasn&#039;t &#039;correct&#039;, because I liked it. Whatever. Everything  still got delivered.

Oh, and I checked the Guardian style guide. It says:

&quot;Surprising as it may be to some London-based journalists, most of our readers do not work or live in the capital (or, indeed, the UK). So give location, not just name: ie King&#039;s Cross, north London, not just King&#039;s Cross; there is a Victoria station in Manchester as well as in London, so make clear which one you mean&quot;

So London, England is fine (and accurate!).</description>

		<description> This, although if it was &quot;constitutionally appropriate&quot; to call it &quot;Borisville,Airstrip One&quot;, I would still call it London, England.  No matter how many people wrote style guides.

		<description>A caption  a postal address.   Good grief.  

There IS no &quot;right&quot; or &quot;wrong&quot; here.  There are no police to whisk you off in the night if you qualify a location with the wrong &quot;region&quot;, whatever the hell that means.  Even in London.   

Even if it *were* a postal address, the only test of &quot;right&quot; would be whether the letter got delivered.   Do you seriously think that a letter to an address ending &quot;London, England&quot; would go somewhere else?</description>

		<description>AP style is just &quot;London&quot; because you do that with all world cities. AP style is also &quot;New York&quot; without the &quot;N.Y.&quot;, but the latter is still correct, 

London&#039;s official website describes it as &quot;London, England.&quot; 

http://www.visitlondon.com/

&quot;London, England&quot; is widely used on both sides of the Atlantic. The British will simply be cognizant of the constitutional appropriateness of any given use, whereas Americans will not.</description>

		<description>Prostitutes merely sell their own bodies.  Members of Congress who leave to pursue lucrative lobbying careers, for which they need to serve their future corporate masters while in office, are betraying the electorate.  Suggesting that Christopher Dodd is a prostitute is an insult to prostitutes.  He&#039;s closer to Benedict Arnold. </description>

		<description>No, they aren&#039;t the same thing.  Our &quot;regions&quot; would perhaps be the closes thing to US &quot;states&quot;, so you&#039;d probably put London, Greater London if you wanted to have that effect.  Some people might argue that &quot;counties&quot; are a closer parallel, but either way you still wouldn&#039;t class England as the correct container.</description>

		<description> I agree completely, except for the weeping for humanity bit.  I weep for the politicians, who are labouring under the misapprehension that they have enough power to control the behaviour of their citizens without their consent.

		<description> London *is* in England.    And although it&#039;s technically equally correct, I&#039;ve never heard anyone say &quot;London, UK&quot;, ever, except when writing a postal address.   </description>

		<description>Should have just used the police home-raid scene from &lt;i&gt;Brazil&lt;/i&gt; for the intro, the infringement (or is it fair use?) of which would have made for delicious irony.</description>

		<description>Cool movie!

And because of the &lt;i&gt;Citizens United&lt;/i&gt; decision, this video is definitely legal.   Otherwise, it might violate campaign finance laws just as much as a whiny right-wing movie about how EEEVVVILLLL Hillary Clinton is, or a whiny liberal movie by Michael Moore about how evil the Bush family are, or as much as the unapologetically biased MSNBC and Fox News opinion shows do.  (Only one of those got challenged in court, but the laws that they were charged under don&#039;t realistically distinguish between them and the other targets.  I&#039;d rather have seen liberals get charged and win, because it would be obvious to the liberals that it was a good decision, instead of them perceiving it as Bad Guys Winning, especially because, yeah, Citizens United were bad guys making a bad movie with bad intent.)

And as far as the &quot;money isn&#039;t speech&quot; argument goes, the First Amendment also protects freedom of the press, and while you can occasionally speak without money, you sure can&#039;t run a press without it.</description>

		<description>The important parallel is a powerful commercial interest group is influencing (writing) policy to the detriment of ordinary citizens and governments are playing ball (and colluding with one another to do it).

That&#039;s plenty scary for me, without the threat of armed arrest. </description>

		<description>I weep for humanity, the government and corporations are trying to label making copies of something, making more of something, into an evil, morally and ethically deplorable act. A criminal act no less. Future generations, with their replicators and nano-bots, will look back and wonder; how did the people of this age just accepted these labels and bullying tactics, and yet had the means to fight them all along.</description>
