Guy...

As I said before: The Non-American's in this discussion are completely ignorant of America. They are hopeless.

So anyone who doesn't agree with you isn't an American? I am pretty sure that isn't true.

I'm certain it isn't.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Yep, it seems that even in the 21st Century that some of our American members still have 18-19th Century "Wild West" attitudes (maybe this is why the USA is going backwards these days in certain areas). :-(

Cheers.

Most of us believe in this thing called democracy, where we chose our governments by voting for them and then abide by the wishses of the majority

These leaders have won re-election with overwhelming majorities--most of them pretty close to 100% of the vote.

These people love their leaders. We should find leaders like these for the U.S. and many European countries. Then the world would be just lovely.

Have you not got a more up to date list? That one lists (among others) Kim Jong-il (dead), Gaddafi (dead) and Hozni Mubarak (imprisoned).

As well as Ahmadinedjad (or however you spell it) from Iran. For one, he is not a dictator but a democratically elected president and two, he has no real power in Iran, its the Ayatollah that is the real leader of Iran (and he is a dictator).

You do know there's more to democracy than elections don't you?

You're living in an American constructed, and paid for world. Where are your fleets of ships and worldwide bases to protect YOUR economy and enforce International Law? You had them for awhile after WW2, under American protection.

We are now 'Going Home'. Good luck.

Correct. "The Great Satan", Obama, no longer suffers foreign fools as he has to support his base. Sorry, Christian girls in Africa, missing planes in Asia and all the other great unwashed.

My gun is bigger than yours or...

Only in your dreams little man.

So Kristine asked the mostly black and Latino kids in her audience to stand up if they knew someone who had been shot to death. About 200 rose to their feet, probably three-quarters of the crowd.

"I want everybody here to look," Kristine said to the NRA supporters. "We don't need to be educated."

Blacks and Latinos don't need education just white men. Got it, thank you for educating me. Now go get your own black women kidnapped by black men in Nageria.

Which to me suggests that people would be safer in a liberal state

New Jersey is blue and Newark is the blues city. I laugh at you B.S.

When I go to my local fish & Chip shop, I ask the "little man" that serves me to ensure that the fish is well battered up.

I take it that yours uses breadcrumbs?

Difference of opinion. Perhaps you are wrong.

How's this for double standards!

Many throughout Europe & the UK have constantly castigated the US for "Rendition" & all that entails.

I wonder where they learnt that?

British Government authorised torture in the early 70's

... and 70 years before that (during the Anglo-Boer war) they authorised concentration camps.

Best not mention those smallpox infested blankets that were distributed to the indigenous people of North America though... not sure they were a government policy... more a strategy... like old Ghenghis hurling plague victims into besieged cities.

Yes, this also was advocated by the British Army, Lord Jeffrey Amherst, commander of British forces in North America during the French and Indian War (1756-'63)

Yes... he was the one I was thinking of :[

Biological warfare has ancient roots, there are stories of the poisoning of water supplies 5 or 6 thousand years ago.

And more recently it is quite probable that the Black Death 1346 onwards was caused by the Mongols during the siege of Kafa, Ukraine, tossing dead bodies into the city.

And torture goes back a lot earlier than the 70s, i've been to the York Dungeon.

What is wrong with school kids these days?

12 year old stabbed 19 times by classmates

"According to police, the girls planned to stab the classmate during a sleepover but instead decided to commit the crime the next morning in a nearby park.

Following their arrest they told investigators about their belief in paranormal figure Slenderman and their desire to become his "proxies" by killing to demonstrate their loyalty, police said."

There is nothing to see here as no males or guns were involved.

Be honest with yourself as well as us...

Would you have popped onto the internet & state that had she been your daughter?

Leaving aside the question of what page it may have been on, just what are schools & parents teaching 12 year olds?

Or worse, just what are your TV channels/media teaching them?

This "Slenderman" is just an Internet hoot anyone can play.
