You may want to have a look at this

Post by APCs r Evil »

I know a lot of people here don't have much interest in politics but, this could be important someday.

Basically, if the US government doesn't like you, you're off to Gitmo. Of course you could still end up playing hot-potato with a hellfire missile, instead.

Hence Britain is where it is today.....

P.S. Random question for the Brits here:

Having Scottish ancestry, this topic has interested me as of late; what is your opinion to Scottish independance. On that line, Welsh independance/ northern Irish?

Time to get out. They may not pass it this time, but they'll keep trying. We're one car bomb away from total fascism.

Looking at New Zealand and Iceland as potential new homes... any other suggestions?

Hmm... Somewhere off the radar and out of the firing lines. Yeah I know that wasn't much help.

Because being conservative is the solution to everything.

I'd almost feel forced to make the same statement, but reversed, RD.
Over here I'd sooner say it about the conservatives than I would about the liberals.

Imo, we should all be liberal, with a slight dose of conservative feeling. Nothing wrong with liking the current state, but standing still is the worst thing we could do.

I'm with RD on this one, for once.

Seeing as the modern day conservative is the liberal of the past, really it puts you flat middle ground.

You know, I was down to thinking there was no difference between liberal and conservative politicians until this hit. The bill was sponsored by John McCain, and Obama has said he will veto it.

If McCain had been elected, this would become law very soon.

Red and NielK, are you JOKING? If so, I apologize for not getting it.

The part where I was supposed to move to a country full of conservatives, because they will protect my freedom.

So, putting a slightly higher tax rate on people making enough money a year to afford it (especially since they're already paying a lower rate than people making a lot less) to give a tax break to the people who need it is a bad idea?

But obviously thinking this makes you a communist. Because obviously this is "spreading the wealth."

And waterboard you if they think you might have done something wrong.
