    Although I did laugh today. On the bbc news it was reported
    that under British law, technically it is illegal to continue to
    drive those cars ?

    Well, the bad news is that the software bug helps to avoid other problems.

    If you just update the software the car may lose power and/or use more diesel.

    Get a used Morris Marina ! That was the height of British
    design and engineering. :D One hidden benefit of its design
    was that it was more aerodynamic going backwards. :))
    That sort of detail. You just don't get from the Germans. :p

    Anders Behring Breivik, the man responisble for the Utøya massacre and the bombing of the Norwegian government building, is complaining of how he is treated in prison. He is treathening to sue the government and/or start an hunger strike.
    Here are his complaints:
    - He is kept on three eight square meter prison cells. He is not allowed to interact with other inmates
    - His fellow inmates are trying to kill him
    - He only has a Playstation 2. He demands a Playstation 3
    - He is only allowed to play "childish" computer games. He wants more violent games like the ones he used for training for his killings on Utøya.
    - His letters are censored and he is not allowed to use the internet.
    - Norwegian media should stop calling him "mass murderer" and "terrorist"
    - He compares his incarsenation to Abu Ghraib and feels he is being tortured

    He is clearly a very petty man with no introspection

    You see Hanging, would have sorted that all out. ;)

  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,334MI6 Agent
    I quite like the idea of him sulking in front of his Playstation 2 playing Minecraft offline for the rest of his life. :v
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Give him a PlayStation3 with all the violent games. Just don't give him
    any electricity. :D also take his eyes and as many organs as he can give to
    People who need them .
    "I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,334MI6 Agent
    :))

    Or a playstation 3 without any games .....

    Honestly, hanging him would make him a martyr in some circles. Now he is just showing the world what a self-centered, pathetic loser he is. This way is better.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I'd still have him breaking rocks in a quarry somewhere ;)

  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,334MI6 Agent
    Again, he would look like a martyr to some if we treat him badly. Instead we give him good, humane conditions in prison. He will complain anyway, so he'll end up looking like a weak sulker instead of a martyr.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Get an actor to play him, we treat the actor well and let him go home at night etc.
    He'd get his photo taken, that sort of thing.........
    While we torture the hell out of Anders :D

    Another shooting in my country today, at least 10 kids dead in a college and I'm pretty f***ing disgusted with our f***ing gun culture making money off ammo sales whilst innocents pay the REAL price. It's the business... Here you can't legally own nunchucks or throwing stars but you can buy Weapons of Mini Destruction to your dark heart's content.

    THIS week. Next week who knows?
    Is it just ME, or do I live in a crazy country where Police can shoot kids legally for having toy guns & nuts can buy real guns legally to kill kids???
    I yearn for the days of the old wild west when dudes shot dudes for legitimate gripes or robbery & s**t.... :#

    In other countries school shootings are very rare, perhaps it's happned once or twice. In the US it happens several times each year. It clearly is connected to the gun cultur and gun laws there.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    One one hand I agree you can't legislate for the sad loner angry at the
    world who wants to kill, but on the other America should look to see how
    Other countries control the access to guns.
    This may be offensive to some Americans and I do apologise but as an
    Outsider, I see the US, as totally gun happy. To see young kids being bought
    Guns as presents, families buying them together and not only handguns but
    Automatic rifles etc.
    This may not be the case but it is the perception. Reading an article on the
    American constitution, it stated that the right to bear arms ( often quoted ) the
    Supporters always leave out the bit that it is supposed to be as part of a Militia
    Or peoples army? Not as an individual. So I would guess that should be covered
    by the army reserve ?
    Maybe I'm talking rubbish, I'm not an American or live there, but seriously guys
    You have to change something, at sometime ! These shootings seem to occur every
    Couple of months in America, there's a bit of an outcry, a few kind words ...... Then
    Carry on as always. There has to be a compromise, some middle ground, where
    Some restrictions can be introduced. Or once again in a few months we'll be on here
    again offering our condolences to more suffering families. :# it's just so terribly sad.

    Plus most of the US shootings happen in areas and states where carrying guns is allowed.
    The NRA argument that the reply to these shootings are more arms is ridiculous!
