Re: this country is fucked
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.
Re: this country is fucked
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.
Re: this country is fucked
writing on money is illegal in the UK?
Re: this country is fucked
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.
Re: this country is fucked
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.
Re: this country is fucked
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?"
Re: this country is fucked
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.
Re: this country is fucked
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.

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.

Re: this country is fucked
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.
Re: this country is fucked
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
Re: this country is fucked
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.
Re: this country is fucked
the major problems lie wihin the fact that governments and corporations no longer work FOR the people, they work for themselves
Re: this country is fucked
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...
Re: this country is fucked
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
Re: this country is fucked
If only it stayed that way, eh?
Re: this country is fucked
You even get arrested for wearing Transformers with Optimus Prime t-shirt (while boarding the plane).
Re: this country is fucked
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
