BUSH yes or no

Blunkett was all bark and no bite. Loads of legislation he should have known would be restricted by European law.
To my mind he should have been sacked for his immigration fiasco not some trivial affair with a woman he pulled a few strings to help. He planned to introduce ID cards as a safeguard against terrorism but then it turns out that most illegal immigrants will be exempted from the iris-scan due to religious scruples.
His idea that immigrants should speak English at home was risible, given that most Brits who go to France or Spain usually speak English, not Spanish or French.
Blunkett simply failed to produce a sensible immigration system comparable to those used by France, Australia or Germany.

The Paras are going to be attached in some way to the SAS. I don't think this modernisation has got anything to do with Hoon. I think it senior Militarymen realigning to modern day warfare systems. It's been done before. You can be sure that their own museums will stay intact.

THE LAWLORDS VERDICT ABOUT BLIARS AND BLUNKETTS LEGISLATION WAS DAMNING - YESTERDAY.

Lord Hoffman - "The real threat to the life of the nation, in the sense of a people living in accordance with its traditional laws and political values, comes not from terrorism but from laws such as these."

Lord Hoffmann, ruled that there is no "state of public emergency threatening the life of the nation"- the only basis on which Britain is entitled to exercise its opt-out from article five of the European convention, the right to liberty.

Is this english?...very confusing stuff..

Just call me Ryan, and I was born October 3rd, 1990. I realize now that in some of my other posts that I sound like the people that I have been yelling at, [I stooped down to their level]. By useing not the most tastefull language, and spelling with questionable capability. I think I was trying to be too much like george carlin, but it takes a specal kind of person to be like george carlin! You have to be funny for one thing. I'm sorry If I sound like a "nutcase" and for saying the F word too often. The thing is, I care about how my counrty is run, and I like to express my opinions. I really dont fit in with my peers very much, and I don't assosiate with them very much. I like cycling, they like "normal" sports. They always ask me "why dont you play normal sports like every one else?" I'm kind of an outsider I guess. I love my road bike! And my lycra, the "click" when I clip my cleats into the pedal, the sound the tires make against the road, I love the road, I love the birds, and the sky, and every thing else that go's along with it. I have been thinking, and watching, and here is what I think about the president. When most people see him speak, they of him as being dumb. But what they dont see is the guenis behind his stupidity. Some of the things he has done and "masked" to make it seem honest and good.....well.....makes me sick.

all the politicians are idiots. i'm not really satisfied with any of them.

cept i might vote mcain if he ran.

G'day,Everyone, Yes MountainPro, add me to your list of affirmative, I consider G.W. as the biggest clown to ever grace or should I say disgrace the Oval Office since hystory of the American States began. The sheep were once aging led to the slaughter, and are still being slaughtered through the actions of the Administration in your country.

G.W. cannot take all the blame of course, he is basically only a figuerhead, it is the devious shaddowy people who advise him that make the decisions, he is just there to fire the bullets, so as to speak. Anybody that doesn't believe that is definately living with his or her head in the sand or as I was informed only the other day with their head up their own arse?

The biggest pity is, we here in Australia, have a clown of a prime minister "Little Johhny Howard" who like G.W. only knows how to follow the leader, in the name of alliance. Like George Bush he has stirred up trouble with our close "Northern Neighbours, Indonesia" by saying the words learned from talking to G.W. like "Pre-emtive Strike". That in itself is a word of "WAR" in anyones language and where does he get off doing and saying things like that.

Throughout hystory the so called leaders have gone to "WAR" and it is the "Foot Soldier" who has died to defend his country, the likes of you and me, we're the Gunfodder of the world.

I say enough is enough, if the leaders wnt to fight one another, let them take up arms, let us see how well they do. I will guarantee one thing, the wars or the world would stop tomorrow. As sure as God made Little Apples, if those "Big Talking Fearless Leaders" were facing death at the hands of another man they would, like timmid rabbit's, run for their colllective bolt holes. I kid you not, patriotism aside, just think about it?

I say with all sincerity "GOD HELP US ALL" and protect us from the American Administration, I include not only the rest of the world, but all the American People as well.

Moving right along now, by what I read on this forum, I gather that the general concensus is leave the kid alone. Ryan, I consider your opinion to be a valid one, religion has throughout the ages been a tool for the minority to attemprt to control the majority.

As hystory will also show if someone like you has expressed an opinion, you would have either been burned at the stake or put aboard a ducking stool and drowned in the name of witchcraft or whatever they deemed the buzz word of the day.

The same applies today if you have a contrary opinion that is deemed a threat you will be roped in and investigated, big brother is watching us all. As I write and post this comment it will come under the scrutiny of those charged with keeping an eye open for any signs of terrorist movement or subversive activity. By typing the words "Al Queda", "Osama Bib Laden" and the like, the paranoid cyberspy's will swing into action, the alarm bells will ring and all hell will let loose.

What never ceases to amaze me is, why, with all the resources the American Administration has at hand they have still not been able to grab that bastard "Osama Bin Laden"

Ryan, do not be put off by the ranting and raving of people who disagree with you opinion, throughout hystory that has put many a good man down, and lack of support by others may have changed the path of that same hystory.

It is refreshing to hear a younger person expressing an opinion that is not in line with the rest of the sheep. Keep looking at nature, for it is a wonderous thing to see the beauty of the bee's colecting honey. The flight of the birds, which have fascinated man for so many years, that's why we fly in aircraft today. Keep on taking time to smell the roses, you have the right idea.

Above all else the sound of the cleat click is great, singles on the road make a very distinctive sound, only those of us who were or are fortunate enough to have heard such things can appreciate. When riding in the bunch the sound of the deralier, the chatter amongst the other riders, even during serious racing is a sound worth remembering.

All these things I have experienced and treasure the memory of, surely as we all get older and are unable to do such things we too can hold onto our memories. I do and forget what the jocks say, cycling is alright as a sport, not only that if it was that easy everybody and his dog would ride a bike.

As far as your command of the "English Language", may I also say that "ENGLISH" would be one of the most difficult languages in the world to master, you are not alone.

I gather that the typographical errors you made in you statement, were because you were attempting to write as quickly as your mind was processsing the thought.

This is completely understandable, as the reason why most people now use a computer key board to convey their thought to others is because of the rapidity of processing the thought to paper so as to speak.

You are not alone in butchering the "ENGLISH" Language many before you and many after you will also do the same, being an Englishman of and by birth, I used to do just that.

My "Cockney" mother tongue, as a learned dialect is for some very difficult to understand, let alone master, (to explain for those amongst us who are blissfully unaware, the word "Cockney" describes a person born within the sound of the "Bow Church Bells", which is situated on the "East End of London") I have by nature of my birth been mangling the "King's" or let us say the "Queens English" for a lot more years than you.

If we get really pedantic about "English Language, the mixture of the two primaries Black and White make a tone of "GREY" not "GRAY" and the word which describes the different hughes is "COLOUR" not "COLOR".

So young man do not be deterred by anything you read on this forum, keep your mind open and above all do not be afraid to express an opinion,it is good for debate and keeps the "Red Necks" on their toes anyway?

In closing for now, let me just give you a short excerpt from my mother tongue it goes, "Fort'e fousan' fever's ona frushi's froat" say that very quickly and allow the words to roll into one complete sentence. (it should if pronounced correctly sound like, "Fourty Thousand Feathers On A Thrushes Throat").

Finally say in your best "IRISH" accent (Sorry Limerickman) "Well Oil Beef Hooked". It can be written that way without offence to most?

Keep the good word coming you folks, yo'all cum bak now?
Above all else "Keep The Wheels Turning", With Fury?

ryan_velo

thank you brian, some great points you made there. And you are so right, I left out his adm. they are just as bad as he is.

FredC

You might be right there, he'll keep yeself in Freedom Fries.
Now then before Co-lon Powell went to Israel in 2001, met the war criminal Sharon, and had a chat with Yasser. Sharon set out his terms for negotiations, Powell said nothing of any construction to resolve even the smallest part of a tag for peace, and left saying that the resolution was basically a local issue. How local is USA pumping in $12b a year into Israel of financial support. Co-lon Powell is the biggest Uncle Tom in American history. At least the American Judeo Henry Kissinger does not, at least to me, come across as an indecent man.

You're more than welcome mate, be cool, catch yer round like a wheel?

FredC

Hey listen Ryan, I'll get back to this on his post. Just look up Tourettes Syndrome, I'm sure it doesn't apply to you, but it is well worth a look. You write decent stuff . Must go and do some cards for Xmas.

Kissinger - now there is a blast from the past.
I'd forgotten that war criminal - amazing how he also got away with it.
Another one of that despicable lot.
They're below contempt.
Filthy, double dealing, treacherous, lot that they are.
They can never, ever, be trusted.

FredC

How far can you go on this site? Mind you I wouldn't mind a bit of defending from the shofah blowers. They must have run out of puff. Not sure about the Yid business pointed out by Zap, as they were from Russia, an apology on page 684 should be enough (Ed) Please oblige. Toda Raba vay Shabat Shalom. Not chicken soup again ! !
