So instead of using a cell phone to look at info. you use... PAPER whats the difference? are they going to ban people reading off of paper near ATMs too?

I think the thing was that the people who were being scammed had no idea how to use an ATM…

I seem to remember there were lots of posts on this thread commenting on the bad taste/cretinity of people using dead bodies as fashion, and they've all been scrubbed.

He knew the deal from Day One.

The deal from Day One and for 14 years after Day One was that there was no problem at all with his moustache.

when mailman-san signed on he knew he'd have to follow current and future rules and regulations regardin' groomin', dress and all things sundry and not.

No, he signed on as a postie, not as military cannon-fodder. If the company suddenly decided they wanted all their posties with all head hair…

So Cleo, you only want Western leaders in prison. OK. Gotcha.

No, Ronin. I just want the folk who go waging unnecessary war and dropping unnecessary bombs on other folks' countries to have their day in court. If the court finds them not guilty, all well and good. You could…

You made a deal. You knew the deal. Now honor it or leave. That's what grown-ups do. USAR

What grown-ups do is get their facts straight instead of repeating the same duff information over and over in the hopes that it will eventually be true.

USAR -

It's an International court - gets people for international crimes (like starting wars of choice / wars of aggression and killing no one knows how many innocent people).

Doctor Tofu -

Quite. And eloquently put. I like the bit about the eyebrows.

Signing up for a company knowing that they have dress rules etc., that you're not prepared to adhere to is one thing; doing your job adequately for 14 years with no complaints and suddenly having new…

ZenB -

That's tantamount to saying companies can fire people at will simply by changing 'rules' to target the employees they want to get rid of, without having to give them severance pay or be charged with unfair dismissal. I'm not sure if that's legal, but it's certainly wrong.

they should provided the country whose leader is accused of crimes is a legitimate member of ICC.

Isn't that a bit like saying common thieves, pimps, murderers and rapists can only be arrested and tried if they've bought tickets for the Policemen's Ball, or if they've donated to the Lawyers'…
