a13x Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 As I've said the world is full of morons and those that rule us are total retards. I believe those retards that form the EU Parliament are sadistic. They would just love to get 0\/\/n3d and then have to reinstall winblows.

fissy Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 I was quite a fan of Europe, Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with being part of a friendly club with similar ideals. I think the single market is a good idea too... but how the f*ck can this happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 The Register says that the vote has been delayed until this afternoon, so there may be some political manoeuvring going on... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kde-head Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) It was killed at the last minute by Poland. Yay Poland. Have been attempting to find an email address for the Polish government department in question all day to send them a note of thanks, but I can't. Ah well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank god for the Poles. They saved the Brits in the Battle Of Britain, and now they've done it again - saved us from greedy corporations and lawyers. Yeah!!! Reg story here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/21/patents_dropped/ This is the guy we've got to thank: "The Polish Minister of Science and Information Technology, Wlodzimierz Marcinski, made a special journey to Brussels to demand that the directive be dropped from the agenda." Here's his department's government website: http://www.mnii.gov.pl/mnii/index.jsp?plac..._id=-1&layout=0 email: dip AT mnii DOT gov DOT pl Edited December 22, 2004 by kde-head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkelve Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I already signed it. Next presidency: 2005-2006: Luxemburgh (?) 2006-2007: England ( ) It could still mean the proposal comes on the agenda next time though, depending on what Luxemburgh decided.
