All perfectly legal (unless sanctions forbid it).

But in that case they wouldn't need any fake IDs.

I 100% agree with this. Sadly, rule #3 applies to me (my job involves dealing with banks and lawyers).

I have had two HP inkjet printers which were unmitigated dogshit. Money-grabbing, thrown together pieces of shit. You get more types of jams than at a craft jam shop.

Five years ago, moved to a Brother laser printer. Little difference in purchase cost. AND IT NEVER FAILS.

I'm now on my second (dropped first one downstairs when moving house) and it is just as reliable.

Each to their own, but for me: Brother Laser Printer every time.

Who pays them?

Wouldn't the ID need to be associated with a verifiable green card? (Again, not an expert in US employment)

Yep, good. Look at the damage he did. He'll have sufficient funds to have food and shelter. Anything beyond that he does not deserve.

How much divisiveness did he cause?
How many screaming arguments?
How many families did he break up?
How many bar room fights?
How much pain for grieving parents?

Fuck him, he's a cunt.

Does no-one check the damn IDs, ffs? It's a simple matter of typing some numbers into a computer.

I don't know about the U.S. but in the UK where I'm from, "illegally hiring a non-UK citizen" would be a criminal offence for the hiring company. How are they going to tax them?

Damn. So no totally dark motorcycle then. Ah well

Came here to write exactly that! .

One exception would be the "MOAB", which officially stands for "Massive Ordnance Air Blast", but is surely unofficially the "Mother Of All Bombs" - a poker at Saddam Hussein's statement that he would unleash the "Mother of All Wars".

Good point.

Brexit + economic carnage + small country with little heavy industry -> please let us sit one round out to dig our way out of that fucking economic shambles and then we'll be right back on the Climate train handing out HS2 lanyards.

I'm not a physicist (read "couldn't do the maths“) but MOND feels closer to an natural, organic explanation than Dark Matter. Are there planets formed from Dark Matter? Are there elements and dark molecular structures?

Please can I have a motorcycle made of it?

Brit here, Leeds centre. ISP is "City Fibre". Fibre-to-property. 512Mbps. £27/month.

He's going down for a long time, and personally I think he's an over-confident, misguided fool.

But I don't think he's a crook, in the sense that he originally set out to be dishonest from day one.

I think his well-intentioned, cocky plans turned to shit when he found himself playing a game of cryptopoly with other people's real money and landed on the "Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass 'Go'. Do not collect £200“ square.

I feel ever so slightly sorry for him. His entire life is now fucked.

What a fucking disgraceful mess.

Wow what a detailed, well-written and fascinating response. Thank you for writing that, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

It would almost be worth putting #2 to the test, just to see what would happen. As you mention it would be a legal minefield.

Interestingly (and I guess this is the same in the US?), it's illegal to open someone else's mail. For sure Law Enforcement could get around that, but they would need a court warrant and you'd have to pity the judge whose desk that landed on.

The law states:

84 Interfering with the mail: general

A person commits an offence if, without reasonable excuse, he—

intentionally delays or opens a postal packet in the course of its transmission by post, or intentionally opens a mail-bag.

I think that if the package was innocuous (i.e. didn't have

<b>

</b>

Joking aside, if the recipient was a known member of forums promoting hatred or violence then it could be considered reasonable to make at least a cursory examination based on "why was this package received from from there?".

It's legislation with good solid intent (IMHO), but it's so vague that it can't cover everything.

Nor yet anyway.

As we come from different nations, our feelings on the matter may differ and I don't really want to discuss that. But thank you, you've made it easier to understand the context.

Brit here. I have a couple of questions:

1. If they aren't firearms, then what are they sold as? Replicas?
2. If they aren't sold as weapons, does that mean someone could import one into my own country?

(I have no intention of doing this, in case this triggers some GCHQ bot and my home ends up like Waco but without all the tiddies)

*"BLOODY"

Your point is a valid one, so I'll answer it. Initially I did use Google. I was overloaded with a mash-up of sites from which it would have been difficult to resolve right from wrong. As this doesn't relate to my country I'd have simply moved on.

Instead, I feel much more informed from all the considered, well-written responses which people were kind enough to write here.

This makes sense, thank you for taking the time to explain.

I see, thank you (and to everyone else who responded).
