      What nonsense is this?

      How can a single word have "blanket protection" for all uses in trademark issues?

      (Weren't Micros*ft shown the door when they tried to get protection for the word "bookcase" some years ago?)

                I didn't realize that contractions were considered two words. I don't know why they would be, or where it would count or even matter, but there you have it.

                    I'm just amazed that nobody used the phrase 'my good man' or slapped someone with a leather glove.

                      Apparently the Canadian intolerance-wave is spreading.

                      Police say they gave the women advice on how to get along in future and suggested they stay away from each other.

                        It's as if they're some kind of attention seekers.

                        This would be good for one of Reed's Onion articles: "Couple that dresses in Victorian costumes and rides penny-farthings wonders what everyone's staring at."

                          If you had a conversation with them and didn't ask about their clothes they would probably go crazy.

                                "Nonsense" is one word for it. I'd have probably gone with something a bit less pre-watershed. I get very cross about that sort of thing. It's the privatisation of our very language. I despise Specsavers, all other businesses which pull the same kind of crap, and all IP lawyers, legislators, policy makers and other lackeys who support their nauseating grabs of public property to the prejudice of all competing and potentially competing businesses. Shame on them all.

                                  Why were these illegal immigrants not put in jail?

                                  *OOps. Just got the irony of me suggesting this.

                                    Canada is the best. People trespass. You just go: "Oh well, look at the currents. They probably didn't mean that. Let's fish them out of the water, don't be a dick about documentation, and bring them safely back from where they came. Are you cold? Here, have the shirt that I happen to be wearing."

                                    It's high time that I pay another visit.

                                        Ramen is the new currency in US prisons.

                                        And the US department of corrections spends $50 billion a year.

                                        Wonder what you could do with all that money if you weren't incarcerating 1% of your population.

                                          I sincerely hope the Oradour-sur-Glane follow up experience goes disastrously wrong with live ammunition being used.

                                                  Yup. And based on the names of the registered owners of the home, I very likely know them.

                                                    Yup...it's our old cross-the-road neighbours. Police have just confirmed the identity of the shooter. It's one of their sons. The same son who was arrested as the Fake Beard Bandit 8 years ago. He was 27 then, 35 now. I just hope his mother wasn't one of the victims.
