What is the interest? Thats what i dont understand. Bid D was right on the money. Yes he can take care of himself just fine. <....> Tony Blair is coming here and you will see how he is loved even more than the queen.:smile:
Where do you get your 'facts' from?
This whole one world goverment in Europe is shocking to many of us over here.
Please, explain the basis of such 'shock'.
The population rate the highest its been in 26 years.
Yes, but you conveniently neglected to mention that five years
prior to today it had been at
an all time LOW. Also, you neglected to mention that the latest high is skewed due to a
surge in immigration. Are you suggesting a Chinese policy or that immigrants should be sterilised? (yes, I'm kidding).
That aside, the relevance of UK birth rates to US judicial independence is......?
The number 1 baby name in England by next year will be Mohamed.
Yes, I read
that too. But Look behind the
headline and you'll see that it's more because of a growth in Muslim couples having babies rather than a fundemental shift in preference. And even if it was, what of it? It's a fine name.
I have to say, for you to mention it so specifically there seems to be an implied racial connotation to your comment, am I missing something, or is is just a nugget you googled up?
But, again, the relevance being....?
Normally i feel i dont have the right to question how they live in another country
I wasn't criticising how you (
you as in
Americans) live your lives I was making a statement about the potential dangers of a politicised judiciary, in response to a post in a public forum! If you can't make the distinction between
that and thinking I was attacking your lifestyle
personally or the
'American way of life' then tell me, what can I do to make it clearer?
What is the interest? Thats what i dont understand.
What happens in the US can and often does affect me, and US immigration policy has affected people I care about, on seemingly arbitrary and racially motivated grounds. So, yes I believe that gives me a right to comment, if you don't agree then...well, I don't really care about that.
I have on top my fireplace pictures of our presidents. Bush, Clinton, Regan etc.
Nice. The relevance to the OP?
Among the world leaders are Tony Blair, Churchill, Margeret thatcher.
Blair for about 2 weeks more, Churchill is dead and buried and Thatcher ceased to have what little
meaningful impact she had on world politics over ten years ago. Actually, it was some time before that but never mind.
In my heart i feel so sad for the path they and most of Europe have chosen. I want to say something. Then i cant because i must show respect for them and the leaders have chosen
Don't be sad, if you want to say something, do it, comment all you want, criticise all you want. Don't stay quiet out of 'respect' or to play Mr. Nice Guy. Above all, don't suggest I can't comment negatively on something because
you don't feel it's
'your place' to do so and then expect to apply that standard to me. If I see something I think is questionable I'll call it, shouldn't we all do that?
Tony Blair is coming here and you will see how he is loved even more than the queen.
You've said that once already some while back and it's nice for him that he's loved somewhere. But, didn't you notice? -
He's been and gone.
Uncut, I like you, I always have and no doubt you're a decent, honest guy. I like to think am I too and I have no personal grudge with you at all. All I'm asking is that you respect
my right to express
my opinion, it's my birthright.
Disagree with me all you want, I'll debate with you as much as you like but don't use the argument that because you won't say it, I shouldn't either. On me at least, it's doomed to failure.:biggrin1:
DC, sorry for hijacking your thread.....
