In my country Australia it was a conservative government which bought in gun control, not the left.

Reply to Making Political Hay From Innocent Deaths in Current Events Stardock Forums

Is it so bizzar to expect the leader of a country to search for solutions to a problem? I mean really if he came out and said lets arms the schools to the teeth, he would still be critised for it, probably because he was now arming the left or something. What the President did was a natural and sensible thing to do not goulish. I find the rational behind your whole argument rather paranoid and holds no water other than being an excuse to bag the President.

Blaming the mentally ill is not the answer either. You not have to be a raving lefty to be anti gun, just commen sense.

Just out of interest if the NRA had made comments pro gun, would this be seen in the same light, wake up you guys, you have a gun problem, pure and simple.

Reply to Wikileaks and the Conduct of American Diplomacy in Current Events Stardock Forums

What wiki leaks is not covered by the freedom of the press/speech, and they are a pretty spinless lot as they tend to pick fairly soft targets like the US, when they actually take on someone like China or Iran or Nth Korea I might be impressed, but these jerks are just your typical USA haters. Personally I would like to see the whole lot locked up and left to rot. As well as the people supplying them with the leaks, and the Pommy Bastards who give them somewhere to continue their spinless ope

One final comment, forget the fact that you are Jewish, and forget the fact that the Palestinians are Arabs, and Iam of Scottish, Irish, Jewish decent, and get back to basics, ethnicly we are different, yet we are all the genetically, Human Beings. Then lets look at the teachings of Jesus, and then we can start to change the entire problem, because it is only then we can see we are all equal. The other point is we all follow the same God, Jew, Christian and Muslim, yet we spend most of

It seems to me Leauki, that most of what I wrote was closer to the truth, or facts, whatever , than you would have me believe, including the origins of your people, including my Granny (Lithuainan) and even Abraham. It is you my friend who talks nonsense, I would imagin tinged with a bit to much emotion, it seems my dear old Granny may know a bit more than you my friend, however I was advised I was wrong to call Abraham an Arab, sorry he was Hebrew.

I wrtie complete nonsense says you, I do not for one minute expect the dismantling of Israel, and I do not call all Jews European, only the ones from Europe. Just as the ones from Australia are Australian. Your problem mate is you quote everything above in response to what I said, while very little relates to the fact that you guys took land from other people (lets forget what we call them), and now you think we should support how you treat them, sorry you can blab all day but it's still bull

You miss one important point, you displaced these people with the creation of the state of Israel, no matter what your background, Israel did not exist before 1949 (in the modern world), you displaced the people living there and still do, so as far as I'm concerned you people are treating the Palestinens just as badly as you yourself were treated, you have displaced these people just as once you were displaced, and show no compassion for their plight. So why should the world treat you any bet

Reply to We've Got Nine Years in Politics Stardock Forums

One way for the US to learn is to look at many other smaller economies, which have had to ensure that their local production is equal to imported goods and services. Most of these countries have been tied to the current account deficet, eg. the balance of trade, because we have to to ensure growth. 9 years is a long time, if the US started now they would be well on the way of self reliance. Although I doubt the Govt, both state and national, have the inclination to do anything. Lets hope I'm

Reply to Obama: Split Israel; End Occupation! in Politics JoeUser Forums

You lot need to take a lesson in History, Israel has only existed since 1949, it was created by the UN, with the support of countries such as the US and the UK. The people who where living on this land at the time were forceably removed, and have been refugees ever since. Israel is a state based on peoples religion, not ethnicity. A majority of people migrating to Israel are Jewish, not ISRALITES, these were the inhabitians of Israel, and these were the so called chosen people. <

Reply to So many reasons to be against government controlled health care… in Politics JoeUser Forums

One major point is, Australia is not Bankrupt, quite the opposite. We are one of the few countries to get through the Financial Meltdown, relatively unscathed. No recession, no banks going bankrupt, and very little change to employment levels. Our healthcare covers everyone, and our private insurance covers everything, these private insurers do nothing but insure health, nothing else, and they are all in profit. So the argument that countries with free health cover are drowning under

I can't remember when I first started blogging on Jouser, but what I do know is I have had a lot of fun, and stimulating discussions, if I was coming here to get everyone to agree with me I would be disappointed. However thats not what discussions are about. I would say thanks Brad for daring to be different, and please don't stop blogging. I have been away from JOUSER for some time due to ill health, however I am feeling somewhat improved, and am keen to get back to one thing I enjoy

Reply to So many reasons to be against government controlled health care… in Politics JoeUser Forums

Here's a penny for your thoughts, most countries have what is termed "UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE", including Australia. In essence this is health care for all Australians or the British, French, and so on. It costs us here in Australia 2% of income, and coveres everything, it is paid out of taxs. If you have an income exceed a certain level, you have the option of paying a higher premium or self insure (you are still covered by Medicare as well), those whon have private cover have it subsidied by

The simple truth is, the un and the Jewish settlers moved into an existing country, whose population was of mixed races, however redominately Palestinian. The jewish people who now inhabit Israel, are not Isralites, instead predominately European and American. This is not the creation of a home for a people from here, rather a home for anyone who is of the Jewish religon. These people have taken land from others, based purly on the premise that they are the chosen people, and who cares about

John Maynard Keynes, why are gonvernments all of a sudden becoming diciples of the aforemention economists, and its no a few its everyone. This may add some fuel to the fire, why?

One thing I would say is, The people that are giving advice to your president and our prime minister, are the same ones responsible for this mess, and that is where the lion's share of your trillions of tax payer funds are going, if you want to hang someone, hang the bankers, and investment bankers, and for good measure throw in the fundmanagers, financial planners, accountants and the regulators. Cause these are the greedy bastards that caused this mess, most of whom are sitting back o

How can someone cause a recession, or better still a massive economic meltdown, before they are in office, I know youn Barak is clever, but even he is not that good, I think a few people need to have a good lie down and think about whether disliking someone because of their political viewpoint, and blaming them for something they did not create. Sure he may have made a few cockups since, or at least that is the way I read it for the right, but you cannot blame him for the economic mess. Seee

Reply to Gun Control: Restriction or Punishment? in Current Events Stardock Forums

I agree that life without parole is just as torturous, maybe deep down inside me somewhere dark I want them to endure this torture, for as long as they live. I do agree that at any time an new party in government can exercise clemency, and it has happened here. But I still cannot counternence the willful killing of another human, except in the defence of your country or God forbid your family. To me it is against God's laws, however others will disagree, based on the premise of the statement

KFC, I read about Martin Luther and his attitude to poligamy in some Luthern History books that belong to my Mother in Law, will check out which and let you know."In 1539, Luther became involved in controversy surrounding the bigamy of Philip 1, Landgrave of Hesse, who wanted to marry one of his wife's ladies-in-waiting. Luther ruled that polygamy was acceptable, noting that the Patriarchs of the Old Testament had had more than one wife, and so Philip entered into the second marriage in secre

I am happy to be a zealot if the debat stays alive, as without the zealots nothing is achieved, my hope is that enough will be done before it is too late, or better still I am wrong, but if I am not I would like to be able to look my kids in the face and tell them that at least I tried, by giving support to the attempts to lower emmissions of CO2.
