Video rental...of peace...

Shit is embarrassing. How are you going to jail someone over an overdue video? You'd think they'd have a card on file and just charge it the $15 for the thing. Not to mention, it's a fucking VHS.  ::)

Seems like a civil thing you shouldn't be jailed for? WTF

UK police state of peace.

seriously though. .. the UK is horrible with its laws... people getting jailed for hurting someones feelings on facebook... fucking CCTV cameras in the shitters... horrible crime rate... let immigrants rape the system and their women yet they get jailed if they dare speak out.... and yet they have the balls bitch at us about guns, lawl.

I respect our British brothers in arms a ton, but their government is ridiculously overbearing.

I also fear the US government is trying to model themselves after the UK with regards to the overbearing PC laws and surveillance

Zero tolerance for this type of criminality. Throw away the key, I say!
