Cute. :)

by the way your sentence "only the big streams and seas of this world" could be turned into : Only the big bubbling clouds and clear skies of this world ... ;-)

Well, I first thought so and started my glider-plane license when I was 14, until I found out, that you need at least 40+ guys on the ground, for the one guy flying and that you cannot let go a fart, without asking for permisssion or a detailed plan. That wasn´t the freedom I was looking for and I quit after 4 years, just when I was about to make my third wing and turned back to where I came from - the waters... ;)

"What we've witnessed this week has been British policing at its absolute best" really?! It's obvious that someone somewhere must have lost a couple of episodes in the saga of modern society..

A slight misunderstanding. I mean that the UK is now providing a lot of money for no gain in order to prevent other European countries going bankrupt in the current Euro crisis eg Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Ireland etc. Trade is very important of course and the change in the UK's industry has its basis in many factors not all of which can be controlled within the UK's borders or by its electorate eg the rise of cheap manufacturing in the far east.

"Where are the police? They are overwhelmed by the volume and brazenness of the outbreaks. They are also constrained in their response by what appears on the surface to be modern Western restraint, but is in fact a symptom of the modern evasion of social realities that we lamely call “political correctness.” The British welfare system has bred personal responsibility out of the class that has become dependent on it; and the shortsighted immigration system has failed to integrate the foreign communities it has created within."

the author nailed it




and out of the lack of personal responsibiities comes the need for others (higher ups) to be responsible for them... the beginnings of the Orwellian state by stealth

Where did I say I was right? There is no wrong or right in this.. It's about what people, and what I want. I'm expressing my opinion and I cannot be wrong. It's not a matter of fact it's a matter of opinion.

Democracy lets people with different opinions vote for what they want.
Remember, you're the one who told me that because I disagreed with you I was un-democratic - It is not me who has a distroted sense of democracy it is you.



...are you for real? You say I have no understanding of democracy? I know that minorities are allowed to express thier opinion - It's a democracy so everyone can, Majority included.

What is your problem?

Because I don't agree with you you assume I'm a sheep? I said STFU because you called me "selfish, discriminatory and anti-democratic" and I am none of these things and it made me angry.

I am just expressing my personal view and I decided I wouldn't like more relaxed gun laws in the UK. I like it as it is.


Here you go again.. what have guns and twitter got to do with each other?


I have the freedom to not want more guns in the UK - You are a hypocrite.

No matter how much you dislike it.. I don't want more guns in the UK.

Now leave me to the freedom of my own opinion. Like I already said if it's that important to you then start campaigning for mre relaxed gun laws.
Go to your MP.
You'll find that you are in the minority, and the way democracy currently works that means you just have to deal with it.

Well it's no different from what the US did with the Marshall Plan, creating economic submission. It might look stupid to the average citizen, but it's the ABC of speculative finance.

The change of the UK industry is a mystery to me: take the automobile industry, yes, you never really made anything impressive out of it (apart for one or two luxury brands), but with the improvement of technologies and with the foreign know-how, you could have kept a strong independence on that. The problem is that, as usual, British engineering is a bit too much revolutionary, and apart for one off stuff like the Mini, you came up with abortion like the Robin Reliant.

but I digress, I think that considering the actual situation, the UK economy is one of the strongest and less handicapped of the planet (Germany and France could probably be better, but they're crippled by the Euro).

Why would you want an aluminium bat? Wouldn't wood be much more appropriate? Personally I would have choosen a nice (English) willow cricket bat. It takes a bit more skill but when hit em' edge on you get the force concentrated in a much smaller area!

"an elegant weapon for a more civilized age" ;)

Cheers!

you're completely missing my point, I don't know whether you don't get it or you dont want to get it.

same as above.

if you can motivate why you don't want more guns in the UK with valid points then fair enough, but if you can't and just blurt it out like that, then I'm afraid you are part of the ovine category.

Anger is a dangerous feeling, it's instinct, we can't really get rid of it, but we can control it. I haven't said I don't want to listen to your opinion cos I want more guns, I am here to listen, so please, explain me why you don't want more guns in the UK.

Well neither do I, I don't want more relaxed gun laws, in fact I want stricter ones! That would allow people that are deemed capable and responsible enough to handle a gun to have all the guns they want, and rest assured that they won't make any difference to your life.

...again, seriously? It's about what the Government is trying to do to you, not just guns. They can't face a problem, they take it off you. Ever wonder why, with all the issues related to alcohol and the billions it costs us every year to sort problems out, they don't do anything to control that?

yes, you do, it'd be interesting to know why, cos you've been at gun point and it shocked you? Cos if that's the case all you need to do then is grow a pair, sonny... but I'm sure it's not the case, and you have valid arguments against firearms.

It's your feud, not mine, I don't care if you want more guns, less guns, daisies or pink elephants. I know what I want, it's a Government that gives trust to its citizens and doesnt play big brother with us lot.

sure, you're entitled to your opinion like anybody else, but since this is a forum, where people exchange opinion, be ready to meet people whose opinion may differ from yours, and be ready to give valid arguments to defend your position, otherwise, you should better STFU.

I don't get why a Spitfire is better than an Enfield anyway, but I'm sure you have an explanation for it.
