Steve, Patricia Mauceri being fired by the Soap Opera "One Life to Live" because she will not fulfill her acting contract,
is not exactly the same as being banned by a branch of the British government!
As much as I disagree with his posture on this thread, score one for Tony. :mark:
Or come up with a suitable contemporary comparison! ;)

What finer pursuit is there than having a cup of tea? That small little collection of islands turned a quarter of the world's map pink to that end. You can't even get a decent cup of tea in America, the last time they tried it all ended in Boston Harbour - with a "u" mind you.Quote:

For starters let me please address your sig
During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia. After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4.Quote:

It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
”
Adams' prediction was off by two days.

So your government has outsourced the squelching of free speech to private companies? At least here the national laws over rule company rules. The law says that the companies aren't allowed to discriminate their employees because of sex, age, ethnicity, political opinions, sexual orientation, etc.Quote:

From What the article said it didn't imply that she had to bump barnacles’ with another woman. In fact I have the quote:
Since when do actors on cotract object to rolls that conflict with their "personal beliefs" in such a benign way. Imagine if they had to find a real Terminator for the movies :p :Quote:
According to the source, "Carlotta was supposed to have a small role in the upcoming 'Kish' storyline. She objected to Carlotta's positive attitude about homosexuality, saying it conflicted with her personal beliefs."
