New Thought Crimes Will Get You Kicked out of UK

Again, who the fuck are you addressing this rant to? Given that the vast majority of people who post here oppose the vast majority of our governements policies, just who are these people who're "blind and deserve what they get"?

 

It may be a moot point, but it sounds like it's still legal to *think* what you like. However, doing anything about it is against the law.

Trying to incite violence is probably illegal in a number of places. I have no problem with penalties for inciting violence.

 

because they're busy posting on forums like you

 

Not really. You just sound like you hate the British and so you alienate people. If anything, that's more likely to provoke people into defending their government.

Yes, but I don't care how my country, people and government are perceived by others. I'm not nationalistic or patriotic, so I couldn't give a shit what anyone thinks.

I don't think anyone needs reminding of that.

I'm not really sure what that has to do with anything. European governments are already responsible for countelss deaths all over the world.

 

sorry just butting in here;

most of brits and yanks did not want to go to war with iraq, and even more wish they had not done so (well thats my impression)
However we did go to war, and there were protests, now were facing the concequences and looking to our government to do something about it
Fact is a lot of people are blind to what is actually happening, a lot of people just like to hide and pretend nothing happening because its better than living in constant fear, there is no longer a threat of terrorism, its in action, i truly WISH we had not gone to war but we did and now we have to deal with it

 

Because this is a forum where people have discussions and debate ideas. I'll debate with you as long as you like - doesn't mean I care what you think about Britain or the British.

What the fuck's that supposed to mean? You think I deserve to die because I don't give a shit what people I've never met think about people I've never met? Hmmm. That makes sense.

Got some news for you there, Skip dude. The whole of the Western world is responsible for what's going on on this planet. Unloading the blame for the world's woes onto the US and UK in some form of misplaced inverse patriotism doesn't change that fact. Added to which, I am not "the US" or "the UK". I'm me.

Yeah, about as much as pointlessly attempting to provoke people on an internet forum.

When you're done attempting to insult me based on the actions of a government that I don't even support, maybe we could have an intelligent discussion about what's going on in the world.

 

You've said I deserve to die for the actions of my government. That seems pretty personal.

As you've just pointed out, I've already stated that I don't support the actions of my government. If you wish to criticise my government, chances are I'll agree with you. When you criticise the entire British nation based on the actions of their government, chances are I won't.

 

THIS is the moron that runs this ship?!

 

Not if it get's me booted

 

Thanks man, we already know. Maybe one day you yanks can be just like us if you get a decent sense of humour.

 

I was under the impression that we were having a discussion. So just to clarify, what opinions can I express without being banned? I'd like to carry on this discussion, but I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say.
