But who's right?

  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: Starting a thread in Politics & Debate

Debate pretty much covers everything There's a huge variety of issues that can be...

  1. Post House of commons + food

    Mcdonalds has been giving money to the labour Party. I heard today that Mcdonalds will be supplying the food for the house of commons. (they own a sadwich bar, I cant remember the name of it) Could these two statements be related. Not that I realy give a sh*t but I know it will amuse some of you. ------------------ wise men talk because they have somthing to say, fools talk because...

  2. Exclamation Israel and Palestine

    Here we go again - a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 13 Israelis, 5 of them children. This is in response to the several Palestinian assassinations by Israelis who assassinate Palestinians because the Palestinians are bombing them. Does anyone but me see the circular and foolishness of this cycle? Whats worse is the news media portrayal of the Palestinians as "terrorists" and the Israelis as...

  4. Cool Communitarianism, Social Canser of the West???

    This is a serious political topic...a rather new, since WW-II, sociopolitical activity has taken hold in many of the cities of the US. It is Communitarianism, a thinly disguised version of X-rated socialism/communism that is spoon fed to the communities and upon public disclosure and challenge immediately hidden from sight...this happened in Seattle, WA, last year when every trace of the word,...

  5. Cool EU wants WTO to fine America 4 Billion Dollars

    The EU citing unfair tax breaks to American companies wants the World Trade Organization to fine the Americans 4 Billion Dollars. Who wil be sent to collect it? Who will make us pay it? Who do you think will suffer most in a trade war or war of any kind?

  7. Exclamation Iain Duncan Smith

    This man, unfortuneatly, is the only thing that can stop Britain being completely and utterly controlled by Brussels. Okay, he has the charisma of a park bench, and reminds me too much of Hague for my liking, but if Clarke wins, then there is NOTHING to stop Blair and his pro-european ideologies becoming reality.

  8. Post Brainwashed Subjects

    Sorry to do this, but I am so bloody sick of those Americans on this board (they know who they are) who keep on referring to the 'brainwashed Brits.' We've had servicemen slagged off for wearing the crown on their uniforms. As someone who's worn the Queen's uniform I find that particularly ofensive, but that's beside the point. We might as well trash US servicemen for the fact that they have...

  9. Lightbulb On Abortion

    Subject: On Abortion I know we've had this debate before, but new ideas always surface and deserve an airing. I've recently finished reading Godless Morality: Keeping Religon Out of Ethics by Richard Holloway (Canongate, 1999). One of the issues Holloway covers is that of abortion. He touches (with the help of several quotations) on a few important points which I'd like to raise here: ...

  11. Post On Liberty and Liberalism

    It has been made clear by the past few weeks' discussion on these boards that the word 'liberal' has some rather unpleasant connotations for those on the Western side of the Pond. Now, it seems to me something of a contradiction that someone might praise and espouse the principles of liberty and yet be ill at ease or even scornful of the philosophy of liberalism. Some possible...

    "To disarm the people; that is the best and most effectual way to enslave them!" 1788 What brought about the war of our independence from British rule was the attempt to confiscate our weapons at Concord and Lexington. It did NOT work then, and it will NOT work now. There has been two centuries since that event; one would have thought that the point would have been made...

The fact that the Japanese PM visited it today. 2. The fact that four of the current cabinet plan to visit on the anniversary of the wars end. Or 3. The 50% of japanese citizen who, in a poll, thought that each of...

    This is a purely factual enquiry, before the arguments start. Basically, what happens when a state of emergency is declared in the USA? I guess there are different levels of emergency, right? I just saw the bit on the news about the fires in Oregon and wondered exactly what the 'state of emergency' changed. Thanks in advance.

    Interesting story from halfway around the world. A man from the Jharkhand State in India was found in jain, serving a sentence for a murder committed by his father. It is apparently the tradition in his 'tribe' that a son pays for the sins of their father. So when the old man died, his son took his place in the defendant's box, and did not declared his identity to the court (his father had...

    February 20 1993: Britain, and the world, was horrified at the arrest of two boys aged ten in Liverpool for the abduction and murder of two-year-old Jamie Bulger. The toddler wandered away from his mother in a shopping centre. Security cameras showed him being led away by the two boys, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson. They took him to a railway embankment where they tortured and stoned him to...
