In the same way as there was no such thing as the USA before the colonists claimed it, nearly wiped out those who were living there before the Europeans, and named it. Imagine you are living in a Police state, your land disappearing, your movements severely restricted, civil discussions...

You have to wonder if they have actually stopped and thought about what they are doing. Scrap that, just thinking will do!

What...! Violent liberals. Its just not possible. Everyone knows that an exclusive diet of Tofu and organic wheat grass makes your irreparably passive, even when faced with such a moronic target as Glenn Beck;)

We have been dealing with this problem for years in the UK. And when I say dealing with, I mean quite the opposite. In terms of football, England is the only successful British team, and that is pushing it somewhat. Scotland rarely qualifies and don't even ask about Wales or N.I!!! Back to my...

Good response. The first sensible response in this thread. The left and the right are both supercilious in their view of the other. Both blind to their own flaws and vitriolic in their opinions of the other. Extremes are never helpful in forming a reasoned argument. Honestly, you would find more...

What a fantastic quote, it really does sum up the debate!

Doesn't that show you that something is seriously with the medical system in the US. Many places in Europe don't force their citizens to go to such extremes just to remain relatively healthy. These systems may not be perfect, but they attempt to be civilized and humane!

Why? What is so important about the choice of old light bulbs that wont be available soon anyway? It is just a fight for the sake of it, a small gesture that means nothing but it lets some people think - yeah, I stuck it to the man and I am still free to choose my light bulb, score. Well...

Indeed, it remains to be seen.
