Why should my tax money and license fee go towards supporting the beeb when I can't get the reception, nor does it enhance my culture. !!!

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining.

Are you really required to pay our licensing fee? I wouldn't have thought our monarchy had any power over Kiwis.

I had seen the CAL site before but didn't make the connection, possibly because the propaganda on that site surpases even Bill SerGio's homepage enough to nullify any legitmate issues they may raise. Out of curiosity, what services were being provided to you before the change? Read in depth some of the links on my original message that explore just a handful of the public services the beeb provide to us, now, and compare. People often make the mistake that the "TV License" pays for what you see on the TV - CAL included - that is simply not true at all.
I think it is about time the BBC changed their name to disclude the term "broadcasting" from it. That gives the same impression as Oxfam being a chain of second hand stores.
The only real problem with regards to the way the license payers money is spent is that is is horrifically mismanaged, but that is a problem that is constantly being addressed and is not unique to the BBC.
Current polls show less than three percent of Britons, how you guys say, "could care less" about the license fees. They care far more about the taxes levied on cigarettes and alcohol and even hotel charges have more importance that income tax.
The only way the TV license will be abolished in this country is if The Sun[^] start a campaign on the back of their upcoming 2003 "NAKED BIMBOS" calendar. And even then the only way to motivate them would be through the promise of a suplement in their Sunday paper titled "Britians 100 Top Sexiest Housewifes" if everyone sent in a pre-paid cut-out form to the government.
Totally off topic, but if you look at The Sun web site today (not that I would ever recommend it under normal circumstances), doesn't that Harry Poter kid look like a lesbian.

Actually, though most people say it that way, it doesn't logically make sense. It should be "couldn't care less". Cause if you think about it, if you could care less, then you have some level of caring about the situation. If you couldn't care less, then you don't care at all about the situation, and it is impossible for you to "not care" more. Make sense?

I use "couldn't care less" myself, but I have seen an awful lot of CPians using "could care less" for some reason. I guess they were trying to be sarcastic on top of sarcastic remark?
