this country is fucked

[exclamatio]

we need to get mad!

i picked out 2 recent news stories

we know we are being taxed to the fucking eye balls and where is our money going? look at council tax rasing while services like waste removel get worse and worse, we are forced to seperate our rubbish under the guise of it being recycled when in reality they are just putting it into different land fills
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/itn/2008060...d-dba1618.html

we are supposed to be living in a free democratic nation, when everyday our private lives are spied upon, by our own fucking government!
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20...g-6323e80.html

what can we do?
what should we do?

the time probably isnt right just yet for protests because you cant even fucking protest anymore, you are made to either walk a set out route with a police escort and ignored by most or made out to be soem lunatic hippy

we can use fliers and posters, but they will be ignored and thrown away

what does everyone carry, and need to use on a daily basis that they would never throw away?

money.

we will write our message on money, you need to get mad as hell and let other people know, we need to get our message out to people and let them know they arent the only ones who want change, they arnt the only ones who know this isnt right!

what do i expect this to achieve? at 1st nothing more than spreading the word and the notion that there are others who are not happy and becuase it is such a simple and anonymous way of spreading the word it will hopefully get people into the habit of expressing their unhappiness with the current sorry state of affairs

heres 1 i found in my house today, not that I would ever do something so illegal as writing on money ;)

Right now I can imagine alot of you either reading through this thread and closing it because theres nothing too worry about, and not showing concern because it doesn't effect you.

Well if thats the case you couldn't be more wrong!. As the course of time continues too pass our Government's strangle hold on us tightens, and our space too move around gets shorter. As a nation as many of us as possible needs to Unite and fight for us all. It isn't just todays world thats becoming a total mess, but the future will be even worse.

-Food Prices
-Oil Prices
-Employment
-Dodgy laws
-And now our own privacy

None of this goes away it just gets worse. As an individual you may think you can't do anything, but the fact your missing out is every individual counts. And trust me your not standing alone.

Modern 'democratic' society appears to be slowly destroying itself through the very bureaucracy that is supposed to improve it.

Governments point their fingers at the middle-eastern extremists, but only to make the public look away from the ever deteriorating circumstances in their own country. Things may not yet seem so bad on the surface, but for those who closely follow the way things are going, it's becoming apparent that we seem to have entered a time of structural decline.

[Dimes]

writing on money is illegal in the UK?

[wounded]

That is EFFIN GENIUS!
Desecrating money or any flag, is illegal in most countries I would assume Dimes.

I'll be willing to spread your message on Canadian bills, I'm sure they will be exchanged for pounds if any of your fellows come to Canada. And the same thing is happening all around the world, so I don't see why everyone shouldn't be doing it.

[CodeinCody]

Desecrating the US Flag is not illegal nor is it protected under the constitution. DoI, r bill of rights. Some say its treason, supreme court says its not protected. So do what you like with a flag, We all wish it was protected in the Constitution. But its not.

[Neverending]

Yeah..."democracy" is effing sad. There are laws that violate our humanrights, keep us from having privacy yet politics show to ignore it. Prices and taxes continuously raise and raise and we citizens have to swallow the bitter pill because of these reasons. I am no politician nor am I ever going to be one. However past has often shown that a so called "democracy" can lead to something awful.
Most of you might even think that this does not concern you but that is simply wrong. If everything is going to be bad in the near future, you might ask yourself "why did I not try to stop them? Why did the majority of us do nothing to prevent this?"

[Flameingskull]

politics is merely the business of keeping the human herd under control with the idea that everything is okay and that we choose who makes our decisions.

politics is wrong, the laws are wrong, life as we know it is wrong.

think about it, we're thrown into a world of war because of politics, this war isn't just one against a foreign enemy, they've got wars against wars, wars against terrorists, wars against drugs, wars against cigarette smoking and most likely wars against human affection.

as Mother Teresa once said "invite me to an anti-war protest and I wont turn up but invite me to a peace rally and I will".

think about it, would you rather wage a war to stop war or just stop it all together.

now the war is against the public, we are being attacked with new laws and idiotic leaders.

we have to start fighting back but that doesn't mean going up to one of them and punching them in the jaw, no matter how good that would feel. All we need to do is to show that we know what is going on and that they can't get away with trying to do these things in the shadows. We have to show them that we have the metaphorical night vision goggles that can see into those shadows.

at the end of it all we're human, every single one of us, which means that they have the same flaws as we do and the same basic mentality.

it's time to stop the control they have and time to start living for the sake of living.

Welcome to the 21st Century - money makes the world spin. Councils and the UK Government are driven by money, we are having to tighten our belts so the MPs can live in big fancy 7-bedroom manors and drink Ca Va for breakfast. They have 2nd homes which they don't use and our tax pays for new kitchens for them, rather than the NHS and policing.

O.o

Here, Spanish Flag represents an institution n there has been peepl condemned 4 burning it and photos of King Juan Carlos II.

[Gladstone]

Lib Dems are absolutely the only choice if you care about civil liberties. Incidentally, who saw Question Time last night? Milliband got utterly destroyed on the 42 day detention limit. Good times.

[LoveGod18]

OnTopic: Don't worry, UK is not the only one. Even here in Romania democracy isn't what its suppose to be.

Offtopic: Yeahhhh!! My net isn't lagging anymore! That lil format did it!

It actually takes more money to recycle than it does to stick in in a landfill.

And people bitch about how landfills looks horrible, bad for the environment, etc. Landfills are actually terraformed into areas of greenery with parks.

The world isn't running out of space for rubbish. Proven, for the whole of USA's rubbish to be put in a landfill, it'd take 30x30 (mile) piece of land... for a thousand years.

Now, don't get me wrong, I know land value is extortionately priced, but when you own the fucking land, it isn't hard.

It's all about control.

[exclamatio]

aye what they are doing with most of the trash is not the issue, its when people are told they absolutely have to recycle everything or they are solely responsible for global warming :P

[Laz-low]

it's proporganda, the Americans and the rest of the Allies in WWII were all bitching that Hitler was spreading proporganda amongst the Germans but here we are in 2008, 63 years after WWII, and our Governments are spreading proporganda amongst us.

[exclamatio]

the major problems lie wihin the fact that governments and corporations no longer work FOR the people, they work for themselves

[Laz-low]

Since when have governments and corporations worked for the people?

In business, money means everything. The Government have set stupid tax rates on UK citizens, which makes me wonder how the Americans get by on such low tax. And there rises another problem - we tax the poor, not the rich. We could easily make this country better by taxing those who have the money to be taxed to help the poor. If we can make more people more prosperous, then there's more people who can afford to pay tax to tax. As much as I don't like the tax system...

[exclamatio]

watch a docu called "The corporation" when corps 1st came about they were under very strict rules and had to work for the better of the people

it wasnt all about money at 1st

[Laz-low]

If only it stayed that way, eh?

[Liselotte]

You even get arrested for wearing Transformers with Optimus Prime t-shirt (while boarding the plane).

[exclamatio]

aye the main problem was when the corporation lawyers got the law changed so a corporation while it was a group of individuals was treated as an individual itself. a corporation has human rights despite not being a human!

the anti slavery laws were actually used to protect corporations pockets way more than to protect the african americans at the time
