Is it not clearly a) for people who can't make the wedding, b)for people who can't afford to invite all the people they'd like and c)people who want to invite more people to the ceremony than can fit in the registry office or whatever (at my brother's wedding there was space for about 40 people).

In their defence, they did explicitly forbid this sort of thing. Hence the criminal prosecution.

Agreed on all points. I think they should teach English in these schools (and they do in many). But that doesn't necessarily oppose the point I was making.

"It's cool though. Unlike some, they're not prone to endlessly whining about perceived injustices."

Are you referring to Hebrew or Yiddish? Yiddish never died out and was spoken by millions of Jews up to WWII (and beyond). Hebrew survived throughout all of history as a religious and intellectual language (in a way similar to Latin in post-Roman Europe) but generally wasn't spoken as an active language until it was

God damn people for preserving their cultural heritage! Inconsiderate bastards.

Most captive tigers are inbred. We can either continue the white-tiger breeding program or risk having successfully hunted them out of existence.

The Middle-East is in Asia. Just a heads-up. I'd say it's to stop you saying anything else stupid but I think that may be a lost cause.

Juries are fucking dumb sometimes. There was an absolutely hilarious case in the UK a while ago (on a much less depressing subject) where the judge dismissed the jury and called them all idiots. It was the trial of an MP (Chris Huhne) for persuading his wife to take speeding points on her licence instead of his to

They do this in some pubs I've been to already (I think most Wetherspoons do). Naturally so they can get all the women to drink vodka and diet energy drinks.

I feel the need to point out that 10 minutes a day adds up to more time spent doing it than an hour once a week. That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't easier but doesn't exactly make it seem enticing.

It's an unreasonable defence on the grounds that it is unreasonable and bloody stupid and it's entirely his own fault. What I meant was more a "not unrealistic" defence: it is actually plausible that his story is true based only on how many other people have shot their loved ones during (suspected) home invasions.

No, it's hardly a comforting thought, it's just that distressingly, accidentally shooting a loved one is so common that it's generally not an unreasonable defence (on the face of it, not including any case specifics).

Not all gun-owners are responsible. People do stupid things when somebody's burgling their house, or they think people are burgling their house. He wouldn't be the first person to shoot a partner/member of his family instead of a burglar.

90% of corn and soya in the US is genetically modified. If it was dangerous, the effects would be apparent by now. There is no way that GM foods can be more harmful than conventional crops.

To answer the headline's question, because it's clearly involved in this particular outbreak. The city didn't say "only slutty queers get this disease", they said "there's an outbreak of meningitis spreading through the homosexual userbase of certain hook-up apps, if you use these, please get a vaccination so you

If only he advocated slavery and a massive death count in order to provide us with cheap clothes. Then he'd consistently be a douche and this article would make more sense.

He said "technologically or scientifically evolve out of menopause..." so he shouldn't be a biologist because of the attention-grabbing misuse of the word "evolve". There's a virtually zero chance of us evolving out of the menopause in the normal sense.

Eh, this actually seems kinda plausible. Humans are weird about red:
