[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="1325" id="2995380"]While I applaud the BBC for doing so, I'm faintly curious as to why the British would be having a memorial for a tragedy that was predominantly American, considering that the majority of casualties were US citizens and the attack happened on American soil.[/quote] Called being nice. More people should try it.

Banned because in Britain there is increasingly a drive for terrorism to be viewed as a crime, not an act of war. Anti-terrorism is becoming more associated with the police rather than the military, which is quite right IMO, as they're the ones fighting any acts of terrorism should they potentially occur. BTW did you know that Britain will be treating the terrorist threat level as "severe" for the 2012 Olympic games?

As I said on the Banned Game, I am singing in a choir on BBC One (basically our main national TV channel) in memory of those who lost their lives on or because of 9/11.

Banned because I'm going to be singing in a choir on National TV in Britain in memory of those who died on and because of 9/11 tomorrow. Furthermore hoping that no fucked-up Islamic fundamentalists try to "commemorate" 9/11 their own way.

[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="1320" id="2994224"]2nd 'Leftenant'[/quote] That's because Warhammer 40k is inherently english in many of its facets, especially so in Space Marine. The Cadians are British (though this was already established), the space marines in Space Marine all speak the Queen's English, etc. Therefore Cadian lieutenants are indeed pronounced as "leftenants," because they are Limeys in space.

[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="1318" id="2993986"]W40K:SM IS MADE OF PURE WINSAUCE.[/quote] Played the demo, haven't yet bought the game. Going to, maybe at the weekend. Seemed good, but going to read reviews to get an idea of campaign length.

[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="1311" id="2989834"]That's probably why they think Britain is very safe and calm- the bobbies don't have guns. OTOH, it's my opinion that it's actually less safe for that very reason. If the bobbies don't got gats, then only the gangstas do.[/quote] What you need to consider here is that there are basically two ways to acquire a firearm: 1. By bein a long-standing and respected member of a hunting or target shooting club. 2. Illegally.

Does Britain have a reputation as a really safe and calm place in the States by the way? A whole bunch of people we met seemed really shocked by the riots, as if it somehow couldn't happen in Britain. A fair few people told us that they didn't think British police ever carried firearms. Of course, most don't, but there seemed to be this vibe that Britain was a cheery, safe place where a policeman just needs to give you a tap on the wrist to solve any crime.
