Hilary for President?

Your people have taken no precautions towards securing their liberty from their government. To each their own, but your "right" to vote is little more than an action your government allows you to do. With a simple vote your sitting parliament could abolish elections entirely. It's socially irresponsible.

Democracy is two wolves and sheep deciding on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the results.

"With a smple vote your sitting parliament could abolish elections entirely" can you see that happening ? dream on.
I think you should get your own house in order,the 2000 election,ring any bells !

LOL so the british people arming themselves with guns is the answer ?
The american government isnt to keen on liberty in latin-america is it !

You mean the 2000 election that was hotly contested by free people? Our system isn't perfect, but we have a means of ensuring our government doesn't oppress us. Historically democracies dissolve into autocracy or oligarchy, hence our Second Amendment. Don't they teach that in the UK?

Yes. A well-armed populace is much harder to oppress than poorly-armed one.

Why is our government able to do what it does abroad? Nations do not arm themselves sufficiently enough to deter US influence. The USSR never really had a problem with American influence at the point of a gun because they had just as many.

NO system is perfect,but who is to say your system is better than everyone else's,and by the way,elections here are also hotly contested.

yeh the US government,likes to keep fascist dictators in power in latin-america,and back coups against democratically elected governments !

i will say it again the people of the UK dont want american style gun-laws,the USSR and the UK are slightly different cases dont you think ?

Just like the British Empire ran the slave trade to the colonies, pillaged Africa, colonized India, and fought countless wars against indigenous populations. Nobody's hands are clean, stowe it.

They have every right to disarm themselves, I don't question that. I question the historical and social intelligence of those who allow one entity to control all means of meaningful armament.

The US and UK wouldn't fight even in they weren't allies for the same reason the US and USSR never fought. Neither party wants to suffer the horrendous casualties that the other can inflict on them. The same principle applies to citizen/government relations. I well-armed populace keeps the government in check, and a well-armed government keeps the populace in check. IT WORKS.

Good for them, America doesn't want UK style gun laws, what's your problem with that? You want America to follow the UKs lead, but don't want the UK populace to be armed? Kind of hypocritical.
