Emotions run high during riots, protests and marches, something the armchair pundits don't seem to realise.
Alot of bad things happened in the 70's within a bad atmosphere. I'm not going to set out to criminalise the British army, not when I have friends getting shot at everyday.
And to deal with the immediatiate problem, Obama will borrow from the financiers, borrow the exact same money we've just borrowed to bail the banks out with in our ever repeating cycle of financial usery. The bureaucrats, lawyers and other assorted pencil pushing plunderers will take their slice from the mechanics of the monetary deal, further crippling your economy and ultimately the rest of the west and beyond.
Yet the Republicans in no way less in pockets of the very same bankers, financiers and corporate dictators. Study any major political party(left or right), any administration, any organised trade union and you will find a similar allegiance to one or other party within the super rich, as it is they that pay for them, their lifestyles, their campaigns. There's no such thing as a modern democratic government, the government of all is the financial government, the power of money and of money alone.
Britain has released enough genuine IRA terrorists for the sake of burying the past, where would be the justice in punishing the para's with this in mind? You could also argue the British soldiers could of panicked in the moment and opened fire, it certainly wasn't premeditated murder unlike the IRA and its killings.
The best thing to do would be life imprisonment, but that costs money(something we have little of), if I had to choose between money being spent on the elderly and children or money being spent ensuring criminals get their human rights, I know which i'd choose.
Isn't the very perception of good and evil wholly dependent on the attitudes of the society we live in?
We accept the tyranny of a state and government because it organises and makes our lives easier(in theory), no one man can be completely self-sufficient so we restrict our freedom and develop a 'community' so we can acquire the material things in life more readily. This is anti-freedom so is 'evil', but moreover, if we wish to advance and progress it is also a necessity that we restrict our own individual freedom by working together, in some sense creating a collective where the individual capitulates to the will of the collective.
Everything that we consider as good is interchangeable with everything we consider as bad, every moral, every ethic we consider as reason is crafted from above(man or god).
By denying god, we are only exchanging a spiritual bound tyranny for a material bound tyranny.
Naaa, another 10-15 years and the British rich will feel the same as the British poor do about Islam, then we might be allowed to stand up for ourselves.
Yea on paper we are if not indeed worse than Greece, but Labour has staved off the worst through its sheer volume of public spending, we've not seen violence and rioting on the streets like Greece, at least not normally. Labour does borrow too much and spend too much on the public sector, the Tories do make more sense in theory, but if you don't maintain public spending the many people relying upon it become resentful and then lunatics start getting votes(as we see already). You can bet the BNP will grow if things do turn worse.
Yea from a welfare point of view I prefer the Tories.
However, the Tories will reduce the public sector, which means many more unemployed and as private industry hardly seems to have many jobs to spare at the moment, this could lead to a scenario not far removed from that of Greece.
He strikes me as a little weak, doesn't seem to be a very good orator. The Tories should of hammered Labour in this election, but instead we've ended up with a hung parliament and shady comprimises.
A few years from now people will hate Cameron more than Brown or Blair. I'm a bit worried for people who are struggling at the moment, the Tories are still built upon an Ivory tower.
It's power at the end of the day, bullies get theirs from humiliating others for a sense of command. Do bullies feel bad? Perhaps some of the time, but I think we all can justify things, especially to ourselves.
Then you get people who are just tapped, mental issues, bad parents, touched up by a priest, those kinds of things.
