The young just need direction and purpose - hopefully not the sort of crap as dished out by Bin Laden. The world can be a great place and full of interest. Just don't let the haters turn you into a loser/druggie etc because they will if you let them into your life !

The young have always taken out their frustrations on the old - nothing new there. Flower power and drugs from the 1970s didn't help. The Vietnam war was a huge factor

I should put Joe on ignore - obviously got a mental problem ! I have ! I welcome anybody who is prepared to share his battle with the ES publicly. Sorry to see you stopped at this years beginning, probably because of the few haters who clog up ET to its detriment. Have you got P&L figures ?

There are a lot of things about this world that are worth saving and not letting various villaneous people ruin. It is the product of centuries of hard work etc . Socialism and greedy capitalism have crept in with theirs lies and false promises to make a financial mess of such proportions that...

Geez someone has woken up to the fiction of democracy, next they will be questioning " the American dream " and apple pie. What is the world coming to ? Another major problem is an ailing planet. Temperatures are rising much more quickly than was predicted. Just another thorny question NOT...

I think it is really worrying that the 2 alternatives seem to be failing in some major respects. Could that mean democracy itself is a failing idea ? Politicians with 1 eye on getting re-elected for another term and the the other on filling tyheir own pockets looks like they can't afford...

wooohoooooooooooooooooo Give the man a coconut The G7/G20 seem to be thrashing around in a turmoil Can they solve the world's economic crisis ? doesn't look even hopeful to me. There are going to be HARD lessons learnt - the hard way imho but don't worry - the Buffetts, Gates...

You are in my view welcome to be independent. We have enough trouble as it is with our own corrupt/useless politicians, who have been bought by yours ( Iraq war/Cold war/Korean war etc.). Do yours submit expense account claims too ? If they do I would expect you have a lot of fraudulent...

The Chinese revolution produced Mao Tse Tung who murdered about 50 million Chinese people in the Red Guard nonsense - I was there in Hong Kong at the time. Most unpleasant I can assure you. The American rebellion was about money ( taxation ) to fight the French in North America. Would be...

It's tough at the top. Everyone is sizing up/gunning for the top position because that's where most of the power and wealth really are. Britain got toppled and it is amazing how similiar the fate of America is. We had 3 Afghan wars and lost them and the Empire started to unwind. What with...

They actually tried using the Church in Britain to govern, instead of a useless Parliament in the 17th Century. It didn't last very long. Hopelessly out of touch with the country's problems. Only 2 weeks ago some doddery ole Bishop was on the radio talking about the riots. His solution was to...

Oh gawd............I suppose someone has to ask the flipping question. Well in your humble opinion GG what is the best then ?

Perhaps one should remind some that countries including Iraq and Egypt were left by Britain with a democracy in the 1950s and quickly became, ...........well you know the rest. I hope someone can come up with a sort of democracy that is:- 1. efficient 2. honest 3. compassionate All...

Currently 4 million out of 20 million households in the UK have no wage earner and survive on Govt handouts and crime. 2nd rate politicians seem to have made it this way + the modern "pigsty" culture from u no where

300 years ago you lot would have been pirates ! Modern day Blackbeards are a bit more subtle

Maybe France has some answers, like :- 1. Who the hell cares if foreigners labour all day for some fat cat business prick. 2. Bring on the good food and afterwards I shall spend the whole afternoon with my mistress 3. The wife, bless her, is busy with the children 4. Foreigners belch and...

The post-war love-in of the USA and Israel is THE millstone around the USA's neck and ours too because we are such poodles. The Arab/muslim world will never forgive Israel for stealing their land after WW2. The Jewish population in Palestine rose from 60,000 then to its present 3million plus...
