SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Things you wish your country would adopt from other countries.

Quote from: O'BorgThe right to self defense.
 
As much as certain tabloid newspapers over here whip up hysteria about criminals running amok and law abiding homeowners being arrested for asking burglars to please stop raping their wife and leave their property, I'd sincerely like to see the UK take a more American stance on self defense. Not to the extent where burglars can legally be blown away with a .44 magnum, but should be allowed to use non-lethal force in protection of ourselves, our family and our property when law enforcement is unavailable for immediate assistance (ie most of the time).
(By non-lethal force I mean feet & fists, clubs, bats and truncheons, tazers, pepper spray, mace etc rather than knives, big swords and firearms.
 
I know from first hand experience that the UK Police like a nice easy target, like a law abiding citizen saying "Well yes I did brain the burglar with a poker, but he was attempting to stab me at the time" rather than attempting to prosecute a criminal who will lie, cheat, employ a sharp lawyer with minimal morals and generally know how to work the judical system to their advantage.

When the police don't defend citizens from criminals, it's time for the citizens to defend themselves from the criminals.

When the police attack citizens for defending themselves from crimninals, it's time for the citizens to fight back against the police.

Entry exams for college like in Japan, here in Uruguay you get between 200 and 500 students per class on the first year, a large percentage droping out in about 6 months.

Oh, one more thing I'd like to see america adopt: A penal/justice system that doesn't put people into concentration camp like prisons, where they are abused, violated, traumatized, even raped or tortured for years over minor acts that harm no one.
