Again, the fact that the court made a decision for the patient has nothing to do with how the healthcare system of the country is funded. Courts and the legal system make decisions about children's lives against the wishes of parents a

The fact that the healthcare was paid for by the Government had absolutely nothing to do with that case. A healthcare decision had to be made for a patient that was not able to make the decision themselves. When the doctors thought that the

I think that some EU court ruled that only actual milk can be called milk so no more Soy Milk, Almond Milk etc. Don't think that it is enforced anywhere yet.

My knowledge of the Amish is obviously rather slim but why can't they take a plane but can take the bus? I know I that they shun most modern technology suite h as cars etc but I would have thought if they can't take a plane that t

Well perfection at predicting the future is impossible. While I don't know what level would be acceptable, your option of never removing a child to safety doesn't seem right either.

I know that citizen's arrest obviously varies alot depending on country etc, and even then seems to be a somewhat grey area. However would assume (and hope) that you couldn't perform a citizen's arrest anywhere for simply lit

I couldn't find details on it, but will this system allow for transfers based on phone number or email or will it still be based on IBAN?

Really? Most of them were just various ways of splitting or repaying bills. The loan I will admit might be in a somewhat legally grey area.

I do it all the time. Split a bill in a restaurant, repay someone for tickets that they bought for me, getting my flatmates to pay their share of the electric bill, paying a flatmate back for stuff that they picked up in the shops for me, l

How does one go about requesting an airstrike from the USAF? Is there a form that you need to fill out? Asking for a friend. Seriously though, it would be interesting to know how that conversation went.

I know that Paris had similar restrictions on cars a few times recently. If your car had an even number it could be used on one day, odd on another. If I remember correctly they also made all public transport in the city free for them days

Another part that effects the current prison population is the length of sentences. One country might imprison less people but for much longer so the total population at one time might be very high.

Slightly different scenario, but my cousin was born in the UK and therefor was a British citizen but was also an Irish citizen through his mother. He works at big defense contractor and had to get security clearance (pretty low level one).

I know that Japan requires married people to have the same name. By massive convention that means that the woman takes the man's name.

Kind of had the same issue with post/zip codes for Ireland as up until very recently we didn't have them. I remember it was annoying when companies with their European head quarters in Ireland and they had mandatory post code fiel

That only deals with types of requests, or the user making the request etc. It doesn't do anything about how the requested data/info etc is used. I suppose it is closer to a licence agreement. I don't think that there can be

This might be a somewhat unpopular opinion but I think that there should be some way (definitely not through criminal prosecution) for a website or similar to say "You can use my service for free, but only under the following restricti

Recently enough a group of doctors went on strike with perhaps one of the most reasonable demands I have ever heard. They didn't want to continue to do shifts that were over 24 hours long!

I'm always annoyed (admittedly only slightly) when they are referred to as milk. Nothing wrong with soy milk, but milk it is not.

Somewhat similar to some problems I used to have with sleeping. If I was particularly stressed and had trouble getting to sleep a couple of days in a row. Then I would be stressed, tired because of lack of sleep and now starting to stress a

I knew someone that had a pretty decent bike and he purposely made it look crap. He put loads of crappy stickers on it, wrapped different parts of it with different coloured tape etc. Not sure did it actually change anything, but it has nev

Derry vs Londonderry being one. Its interesting how different publications have different style guide rules to handle it as best as possible. I can't remember which it was, but one had that it would always be called Londonderry first,

All countries have a Postal Code / ZIP Code or equivalent. Ireland only very recently added them and called them Eircodes (because of course we did). It used to be slightly annoying having to find some combination of characters that th

I really don't think that it should be a social media company's responsibility to police the internet. If a person posts something illegal, I think it should be that person that should be punished and it should be the job of the g
