Right! Right, right, right, right, right! I *love* that episode - but it's not Outer Limits, it's The Twilight Zone.

Yep, that would be me if I broke my glasses. All those wonderful treasures and no way to read them!

Saying that doesn't make you right about ZP's original point. It just makes it seems as though you want to end the discussion.

I was trying to think of the other one it might be (TZ), but couldn't for the life of me remember what it was.

I agree.

I don't have any problem with multiple cultures residing in a country (This despite listening to Michael Savage's show. ), nor do I consider the average Brit to be bad or wrong. I just think that it is not in anyone's interest to ban an average national talk-show host from a country, like the UK, on such flimsy "evidence". After all, the UK is supposed to be as civilized as the US - or France.

Now there are. But how long will that last.

No, libel laws have been used in many countries as a weapon for suppressing free discussion and is always a bad thing.

(I note that many people still advocate that the Quran should not be allowed in the US and that's just plain stupid on their part.)
