US planning to recruit one in 24 Americans as citizen spies

Spray, your fine memory strikes again, can you remember the exact case?
It seems to have escaped me for the moment.
I believe that we were discussing hate speech and you were saying something like in America people have the right to say stupid and racist things. And Marky piped in that in his country laws prevented anyone from making disparaging remarks about ethinic minorities.

Why do they need to be pollitically correct if all the people support it? Are they that afraid that the US will invade you for making drugs legit.
internationally soft drugs are still seen as bad, and it really isn't a big issue here, so why bother to change it, and i'm not sure if the Dutch government is capable of doing it without angering the rest of the EU, cos that would mean a German could buy softdrugs in Holland, and easily bring it to Germany.
This makes your other laws meaningless. Why should anyone take your laws seriously if you don't enforce them all. Why should anyone take advice from people that enforce some of their laws and not others?
i dunno, because of their conscience?
I agree with you that it is stupid to have a law and then not enforce it, it's better to get rid of that law then, but there has never been a real incentive to do that.
I think Chris is talking about your speech laws.
well, i've never seen of heard about them being enforced either, and i doubt that there is actually such a law, maybe it's misinterpreted by chris or st. marcus.
<Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running. Play Bumps!No, wait, play Slings!

Aren't there always some laws that are not enforced as they are meant to be? You will find many old laws that are technically still in place but they are not enforced anymore.
Then you go in there and strike those laws out. That way, you don't have any doubts about what is against the law and what is not.

Victor your paranoia and pessimism is quite depressing. Why must you be such a cynical angry young person?
You and Che should get together and write a book or make a movie......

Certainly, the reaction to Sept. 11th has had more of an impact on my life than the terrorist attack.

For instance, a law written in Michigan in 1897 forbade swearing in front of women and children. Fast forward to 1999 when Timothy Boomer was canoeing, until his canoe tipped over. Naturally, he started cussing like a sailor, well within earshot of a mother and her children on the shoreline. The mother got offended, had him arrested under the antiquated law and, surprisingly, Boomer was convicted and punished. It was only last week that his conviction was overturned. That's three years of this man's life that was wasted fighting a law that shouldn't have been written in the first place.

i'm proud of the liberal attitude of the police, and society as a whole, not the ignoring of laws, the best thing would be to remove the law as previously suggested.

This might be in a weird laws section - but did you click the explanation link - anyway that shows that the Dutch have evolved to a bit more civilized society than the rest of the world on that point.
Law: Prostitution is legal but the prostitutes must pay taxes like any other business.
Country: Netherlands
Explanation: In order to regulate a profession that had continued illegally for quite some time, this law was passed. Now, prostitutes are regulated and have civil rights. Prostitution is now much more than safer and cleaner than in previous eras when it was often stigmatized and confined to poor sections of a town.

True. They cannot not sell it in stores in that county, But the State legislature did pass a special exemption allowing them to sell a small bit at the distillery in connection with tours there.
