Where are you from and do you rather want to live elsewere?? (more liberal, less liberal)

[Anarch]

I'm from Australia. I'd like to live in Italy.

[Stormin Norman]

I live in America. I would rather live in a country free from the liberalism that Micheal Savage calls a "mental illness".

[mentalbunny]

I'd like to live in italy because of the waether and the food! As far as politics goes I'm ok in the UK, but Holland would be cool cos then I could smoke more weed and stuff, I guess.

My idea of freedom has nothing to do with being able to keep what I earn. The value of a country is directly proportional to the amount of weed one can smoke, how many needles one is allowed to put in their arm, and how many hookers the government allows me to bang.

But i thought weed is as good as legalized in the UK. Isn't it??

btw Any idea why Labour wants the brits to follow America into war, labour/blair isn't THAT a bad government, or is it? Being loyal is one thing... this is another... almost all europe has doubts about such a war!

[Show me the Money]

don't think this is worth a new topic, though.

The reason Labour is following America's lead is largely due to support that the U.S. was unofficially offering the IRA. Since 9-11, the world has changed. We have agreed to stop supporting IRA interests if the British hop on the bandwagon.

A war on terror benefits many who have had previous problems with their civilians being targeted. Now that the U.S. is leading a war against such action, it makes it easier for the world to confront this worldwide problem with respect to their own countries. As long as they help us, we will offer them various resources in dealing with their own terrorists. The use of U.S. military and intelligence resources is an offer that many are hard-pressed to refuse. In other words, the IRA is history.

This principle also holds true for the Abu Sayyaf terrorists in the Philippines, since the government there has also supported our war against the Al Qaeda. Places like Turkey and Saudi Arabia should be more receptive to American interests, but they appear reluctant to act. This apprehension might be due to the fact that fundamentalist Islamic groups have them in a precarious position. The stablility of those nations hangs by a thread. If they cut the wrong way, their power will be demolished, and they could go the way of Iran. Musharraf has done the cost benefit analysis and has rightly determined that they aim to take power regardless of his stand. If only we convince others that are threatened in a similar fashion.

Well quite frankly whether the government made me or not, I'm planning on giving as much as I can towards developing the third world, but I don't know how much that will be yet, perhaps a couple of million, perhaps more :wink: Nah, money ain't important in this life, you're wasting your time if you think it is.

Freedom is kinda to do with the amount of weed you can smoke and how you can earn your money, but I'd never stick a needle in my arm for fun!

The US is a pile of crap, to put it politely, I have no idea why an intellignet man, and Blair is actually quite intelligent, would support the bloody Yanks, I suppose he is under the illusion that we have a "special relationship". Relationship my arse, it's just us kissing their "ass" the whole bloody time. They make out that they were good coming into the World Wars, such amtyrs, but in reality if they hadn't come in the second time then the short guy with the funny moustache would have moved on to them!!!

I totally agreee, show me the money, Labour are being a shit government. I saw a great cartoon just before new year, in the Independant's "year of cartoons" thing. There was one of Blair carrying a load of dirty laundry in a suitcase with laods of it flying out with stuff like NHS and Firemen's Strike written on them, and he's running towards Iraq or something saying "let me deal with it", bloody amusing and very true!!
