    Technically they're not. They're corporations.

    ...dont know do you then?

    Despite not being 'actual people', corporations are recognised by the law to have rights and responsibilities like people. Corporations can exercise human rights, are conceptually immortal but they can 'die' when they are dissolved and can even be convicted of criminal offenses.

    "Corporate personhood" is a legal based bit of jargon that says a corporation may sue and be sued in court in the same way as person can.

    Follow ups for you; "The Corporation" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379225/) and "Inside Job" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1645089/)

    Glad I could educate :)

    The morbidly obese wearing bikinis. :rolleyes: And i'm not referring to people who are simply a bit overweight, i'm referring to those who are unnecessarily overweight yet feel the need to show their numerous folds of flesh. My eyes just don't need it. :pac:

    being obese, there's no cause or reason for it apart from sheer laziness and/or stupidity. make them all run on treadmills in public for our amusement as punishment - the jiggles, they're hypnotic

    Women who feel the need to acquire that nasal "D4" accent even though they come from ballygobackwards and grew up on a sheep farm somewhere in the wesht. Those who marry men who have done well for themselves tend to be often but not exclusively afflicted by this annoying habit. These women soon forget their shít encrusted wellys background and believe themselves to be cosmopolitan yummy mumy go getters who grew up in the hallowed halls of BTs from an early age and ate roulades and terrines everyday as youngsters. In reality it was stitched up hand me downs from their older sisters and older cousins and the dinner consisted of Mammys overboiled bacon, cabbage and a mountain of floury spuds.

    There was an overpowering waft of smug off that post, well done :pac:

    The Government falsifying information to placate us or bully us.
    But it would be a pointless law as they don't respect the actual laws, so my fictional ones don't stand a chance.

    Yeah the tax on smokes is too high.
    Weather you agree with smoking or not, there is about 4 euro in the difference from buying a pack of 20 over here and in spain... its too much.
