the problem is not a law that everyone understands but that the law has to prevent someone sidestepping it,
take murder, fairly basic you would think, but what about if the person is forced to murder someone? or is mentally ill or a child? what if you pay someone to murder someone else? etc etc etc
see the problem?
or theft, when are the items yours? what actually defines theft? if I buy something from you but don't pay ALL the agreed amount is that theft? if you take the item back are you committing theft?
I notice you too sidestepped the question

Okay.
I feel if we immediately burned all lawyers at the stake right now, in one bloodless revolution (1), that Western Civilization would probably last another 200 years. If we don't take this action Western Civilization will be stomped out by more advanced civilizations - like those in North Korea, Iran, or Syria - you know, places where no matter how backwards they otherwise are they've the decency to occasionally identify forked tongued devils and murder them on the spot.
I cleaned that up a little bit because I don't care to offend anyone.

Rough Day: I hit the stairwell to drop down to the 2nd floor so I could get some ice water but Scott pulled me aside to complain about his shoes. Turns out he cannot find shoes online that match his purple polo. I suggested he start his own shoe company. Long story short, I ended up walking down to the 1st floor which means I had to go up a flight of stairs or ride the elevator with the gabby girls from accounting - a classic no-win situation that makes me doubt the existence of God.

As opposed to the slovenly guys in the dev department? Sorry, I have to go with the girls on this one.

The accounting girls ride the elevator 'Up' whereas the developers ride the elevator 'Down' into the basement where they belong.
I was going 'Up'.
But yes, if I had a choice I would go with the developers because I can hold my breath while the unwashed scraggly haired dude in the BBQ stained T-Shirt tells me about his trip to Comic-Con. He won't require a response and likely doesn't even know I'm there; however, the gals from accounting ask questions like "How is the weather?" and "Are you doing anything this weekend?" to which I reply, "If it rains this weekend it means I have to bury the bodies in my basement but if it is sunny I'll put 'em outside".

 And with that smooth line, the girls ripped their clothes off and ravaged you I bet. Oddly enough, speaking of burying bodies, I grew up not far from this[^] thing.

God has a deal with the Devil that you will rise to the occasion, no matter what the Devil throws at you. Expect boils and loss of all wealth next.

Hey, why don't you go a day with the wrong colored shoes to see what it's like?
I've actually hid my shoes under the floor mats in my BMW so that people don't see them at stop lights.

I misread that as "gassy girls from accounting" - in which case I could well understand not wanting to take the lift (elevator).
(Note, in the UK, having a gas is slang for having a chat, so it wasn't infeasible).

Hi All,
I post a question about the recruitment agency use of Monster, finding real jobs on Monster etc. Somebody I didn't recognise (probably a US member by the time...) suggested a site called Dice. The Dice site is very US centric and I was wondering if there was a UK equivalent...

Its a difficult one, when I was looking for a job prior to the one I have.
I tried monster and got called by many different agencies that trawled through it. I found the same with indeed.
The only thing I found better was to trawl through the recruitment agencies themselves one by one and keep the better ones on a list for potential future job hunts.
Computer Futures was one that I had good results / feedback from.
Evolution was another good.
both of these companies gave me so much ammo before the interview that my chances of 2nd round interviews were always high.
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

Hmm, what I was thinking. Indeed are a strange one, I was going through recruitment agencies web sites, Jobserve is my friends who contact for use but I haven't seen much on it.

Progressive IT used to be very good too - so may be worth a go.
