  1. http://www.basc.org.uk/en/media/pressreleases.cfm/prid/E8BA0D0C-8B36-42A1-8336500C5C5F068A Ammunition requirements have also been simplified; under the new system it will no longer be mandatory to declare how much ammunition can be bought, only how much can be possessed
  2. Another case of people should be raising their own damn kids, not the government!
  3. Churches have to "opt in". They are not being forced into marrying people.
  4. If you don't like gay people because they are gay. By definition you are homophobic. Acting on it is irrelevant. If you didn't like spam because its made of spam, you are "spamophobic".
  5. people being "fags" or "poofs" is not a legitimate argument. Animals cannot give consent (Is this seriously an argument?). and churches are not being forced to do gay marriages, they have to opt in (except CoE which is banned from doing them by law as "protection" because they threw a hissy fit). Once again, not a single legitimate argument against gay marriage.

  7. I have ulcerative colitis, other than ****ting myself every few months it's no trouble (yet). The need to go to the toilet is a inconvenience but it doesn't run my life.

  10. Death penalty has no place in a modern, civilized society. Prisons should focus on rehabilitation first and foremost, bring the reoffending rates down vs this "hard on crime" rubbish rhetoric which fails to address reoffending rates (see Norway vs US ). Prisons serve society, reoffending rates should be priority not people's personal satisfaction About being "tough on crime" which seems to be a pointless , expensive exercise.
  11. No, lets not learn from the "tough on crime!" rabble because it fails.
  12. Yes lets copy the prison system of a country with a shockingly high re-offending rate!
  13. Not really the same, there is a science and methodology behind sampling statistics including who votes. This isn't anything like it.
  14.

  15. Care to explain? sounds nothing like a libertarian POV
  16. Do people really need a book to tell them how to live their lives? I'm a good person and follow normal morals. 10 commandments: I am the Lord thy God - nope Thou shalt have no other gods before me - nope Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image - nope Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain - nope Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy - nope Honour thy father and thy mother - I don't need a book to tell me this and this has happened before Christianity existed. Thou shalt not kill - I don't need a book to tell me this and this has happened before Christianity existed. Thou shalt not commit adultery - I don't need a book to tell me this and this has happened before Christianity existed. Thou shalt not steal - I don't need a book to tell me this and this has happened before Christianity existed. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour - I don't need a book to tell me this and this has happened before Christianity existed. Seriously, don't steal, kill and respect your parents. What ground breaking rules! How did humans exist before it?!
  17. Yes. There isn't a culture of defending civil liberties here in the UK , people don't care. "Think of the children!" "Its for your saftey" "It will Catch terroists!
  18. its the problem? Of all the problems this country faces, extremism in a group that makes up around 5% of the country is the problem? Really?
  19. The dailymail scaremongering has taken its toll on some here. With a population of about 5% , I'm not worried.
  20. chalk farm is really good, allows non certificate holders.
  21. Some people here need a geography lesson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe
