I did no such thing.

I do believe that all life is sacred and if you think that's a bad thing then fair enough. I arrived at that conclusion after consideration, despite what you may think. I believe that I have no right to decide who lives or who dies in this world. Naturally, that influences my feelings on subjects such as war or crime or whatever. It is also my belief that no-one else has the right to decide who lives and who dies and those who kill should have their freedom to do so taken away from them.

That you think some people are not worthy to keep their life is not a fact of life that I have to deal with. It is your opinion, ferris209. No more or less.

If I recall correctly, US and UK were going off of reports that may have been flawed, but it was not a misleading. We and the UK were acting off information it was going on. Blair mislead no one. He was going off information provided. Actually, it has been proven that Blair mislead parliament. Nothing has been done about it. In case you're interested WESHALLPRESERVE (and I know you are! ), that disgusts me.Originally posted by: Wookie Wedgie
You go on, you continue not to vote... or go ahead and vote for the wrong people, because your country is doomed anyway. The more you continue to appease that Muslim population, the more your own freedoms will slip, and then soon you'll be afraid to express any opinion at all when the Muslims start to slay people for differing opinion. I'm glad I don't live there.
I do vote and I will vote for the candidate I feel represents me best. If there are no candidates that represent my political views then I will not vote in that instance. That's my right in a democracy. The muslim community are, in fact, not the ones taking away my rights. It's Tony Blair's government.Originally posted by: Wookie Wedgie
As for labels. If you don't label something, how the hell are you suppose to know what you're up against? I know you liberals hate the label, but it's what you are. Deal with it. I'm a conservative! I'm a conservative Republican! Let me go full bore: I'm a CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN! AND I'M FUCKING PROUD OF IT!! Why are you so afraid of labels. You give them all the time. "Conservative" is suppose to be an insult in the mass media. African Americans are proud to be African Americans, when actually, they're JUST Americans like they should be. Give it a rest. I can't go around constantly calling terrorist: "Extra-national individuals who do not hold our values in any regard and would prefer to stick a pipebomb up our asses." I'd like to, but that's awfully long, and I prefer 'terrorist.'
I'm not afraid of labels at all. I think they're useful, to a point. But I think the lengths to which you talk of muslims, liberals, conservatives, terrorists, etc. demonstrates that you're losing sight of individuality within those groups. You're dehumanising the people within the groups. I don't hate to be called a liberal but it's not all there is to me and I'm comfortable with that.

I'm a Christian too. I'm glad that you don't regard being labelled as a Christian, conservative republican as an insult. Good for you.

I love my neighbour.

I too relished the opportunity to see the OT on the big screen. And, as zombie84 has said, at that time the enjoyment was not tainted with the knowledge that this was going to be the only version I would be allowed to like from then on. Sad. Really sad.

We all have to decide how we're going to live. Knowing that someone, even everyone might disagree with me doesn't change my decision. Life is sacred, irrespective of what an individual might do with their life. Taking away someone's freedom may be justified but not their life.

I'm sorry you find me disgusting, WESHALLPRESERVE, but I'm probably in good company.

I feel sorry for Blair. The guy is (as I understand it) pretty much like a moderate/liberal here in this country, but he gets it. He gets the problem the Islamofascists present. Just like our Lieberman (also a liberal) gets it, too. Why is this so hard for people to grasp? There is nothing to be gained by being on the side of the terrorists. They give a frick about the liberals defending them in the US. Liberals are tools for the islamofascists. PC sentiments are tools for the terrorists. Its lovely how liberals play right into the terrorists' hands. They love this.
Okay, firstly, Tony Blair does not deserve anyone's pity. Public opinion has turned against him gradually because it has transpired that he has lied to parliament on several occasions, most notably on the eve of the invasion of Iraq. Many MPs (and citizens) supported the war until they found out that Blair had deliberately misled them in order to ensure they voted to participate.

Secondly, what's with your love of labels for people? Islamofascists, liberals, etc. And all problems boil down to the struggle of good against evil. It's amazing to me how quickly some people think they can decide who's good and who's bad. WESHALLPRESERVE loves it too, just look at his last post: "Theres Republican, Conservitive, Democrat, Liberal----the commie." Everything has to be simplified, dumbed-down and re-packaged with a nice explanatory label on it!

Thirdly, I, for one, am not in the habit of defending people who kill, for any reason. I think you'd find that most "liberals", as you've pigeon-holed them, do not defend acts of terrorism, whether committed by a religious group or a government or anyone. Such people attack the US and the UK because they refuse to acknowledge that they ever enter a war or tinker about with other countries' governments for anything less than the most pure, the most humanitarian of motives. Utter bullshit. Self-service and arrogance define both countries' approach to foreign affairs and always have done. This doesn't make them worse than any other nation, by the way. It makes them the same. But neither will ever admit it.

Fourthly, I am a resident of the UK. I dislike the policies of the current government and do not vote for people connected with it. I attack the way the UK has conducted it's affairs, both now and in the past. It's my right to do that. I also have a right to attack or defend whomever I choose, so long as I do it legally.

The invasion of Iraq was a criminal act on the part of the governments of the US and the UK and I don't think the people behind those actions should be allowed to get away with it.

I am aware that my rights would be very different in a state run by such as the Taliban or the Ba'athists. I do not defend terrorist actions.

I am not a pathetic retard without any grasp of the facts.

Neither am I an arrogant, self-righteous person prepared to kill or displace or disadvantage anyone to secure a peace through fear of reprisal. I value the life of all human beings because I'm not so blind as to think that I am better than anyone else.

To attack or control people with fear is terrorism.

Well, ric, so far in this thread the concensus seems to be:

"Global warming was just a stupid fake hypothesis created by commie-loving liberals in order to stop companies from having profit!"

BTW, if you don't even live in the fuckin United States, how in the fuck do you know whats going on here? All you have heared is from the News over there? Biased of course. You don't see Americans talking shit about the UK now, but then you'd say ("oh, we're not commiting any horrible warcrimes!")

Because you live there that still gives you insight into whats going on here, on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FUCKIN POND. No matter if you watc CNN or Fox news over there either--their just as bad to what ever you got.
I wouldn't watch CNN or Fox unless I wanted a really good laugh. The BBC aren't up to much and getting worse and worse all the time. ITV are shit and always have been. Channel 4 news is the only one I can watch with laughing and/or destroying my TV in rage. And Rupert Murdoch can die in screaming pain for all I care.

This is true. It leads me to think that maybe it could be an interesting factor to introduce into Vader's training. If Ben started training him at about the same age as Luke in ESB and he couldn't handle it. With the wars going on all around him, maybe he couldn't stand it. Maybe he struggled to control his emotions. Maybe it lead him to desire the end of conflict at any cost.

Any thoughts on that?

It must be so nice to have the intelligence and wisdom to be able to look at the entire world with all its myriad communities and associated problems and then resolve them all into two opposing sides of good and evil. Teach us, WESHALLPRESERVE, teach us the way!

On the whole, they behave irrationally at every turn and cannot be reasoned with regarding reasonable issues. They not only frequently desire and frequently act to kill us, they also frequently desire and frequently act to kill each other. Their countries are ruled by murder and intimidation. The best course of action to take against that kind of evil would be to contain it as best we can (while encouraging good behavior as I stated in my previous point).
If we could only put up some kind of iron curtain...

According to the actual, hard science, we also do not know if our world is even in a warming period or a cooling period at this very moment. The science is simply too unclear. You seem to have a similar idea of "science" as you do of "islam". One big mass of stuff that threatens you. Except you seem to have divided "science" into "hard science" and "soft science". An interesting observation. We now have two types of "science" when we previously thought it was all alike. Interesting... Perhaps your radical theory could be applied to other things? "Hard muslims" and "soft muslims"? "Hard cheese" and "soft cheese"? Hey!! I've heard of that!! I think you're onto something!!!!
