GorillaGal, I found your last comments very interesting.
1. (Your right to bear arms), it is not that which we find objectionable, it is your predisposition to 'bare' your breasts and bottoms at puberty which we find so disgusting, we don't wish our daughters to adopt those habits.
2. ( the ease of starting your own business), if it is truly your own, why should it not be easy to start ?, a little indication of governmental brainwashing here perhaps.
3.(Your fondness of Marijuana), a method used by early cultures in various forms to ensure peace and harmony existed between them all, nowadays used as a block against reality, obviously a useful tool for governments in order to ensure that the subjects enjoy a FALSE sense of well-being.
Finally, are you not aware of the vast sums of money generated by the 'Drug Dealers' and, assuming you are, do you not think that such a situation corrupts the very authorities that should be condemning it ?, thank you but that is another American feature that we respectable people do not wish to embrace.

1. i don't know what you are referring to as far as the baring of breasts and bottoms. was that supposed to be a joke?

2. my business is MY OWN, and the government will help people to become entrepreneurs. there was no goernmental brainwashing involved.

3. legalization of marijuana? and why not? alcohol is legal and much more dangerous. maybe your country brainwashes you into believing pot is an evil and bad drug. in reality, there has never been any proof that marijuana causes lung damage. i have never heard of a car accident caused while someone was under the influence of pot. it is a purely natural plant, with many proven medicinal purposes. and there has never been any proof that using marijuana causes people to go onto using harder drugs. pot should be legal and taxed, and the revinue used for other drug and alcohol programs.
i do not smoke pot, but i did at one time, and i never lost a job because of it, never lost my house, or friends, or anything else, as some people have done just by the very legal drinking of alcoholic beverages or using illegal drugs.

happy new year. if i did smoke, i'd light one up to you tonight, and all the rest of the forum members. love and peace in 2007!

Eliko , I have posted my views on religion many times on this forum. There was a time in my life when I was asked while in Sri Lanka , visiting a Temple full of people praying , If I had the power to switch off religion from these people by clicking a switch would I do it. I looked around and caught sight of the devotees and answered my friend ABSOLUTELY NOT ! That was in 1981 I was 35 years old then. I'm now 60 , much wiser much firmer in my absolute belief in the non existence of a creator. The same question posed to me today would receive an
ABSOLUTELY YES answer. As posted earlier I consider religion to be a mental rape that we all endured as children , indoctrinated and brainwashed by our parents and the system , just as our parents and their parents and so forth and so forth. What you must understand is that it is religion that is the driving force behind most wars . What divides people and tells them that they are better than others because of their religious beliefs is the poison of religion. What right does anyone have to impose what his or her parents imposed on them. They put the fear of God to the extend that there are religious bigots who think that unless they grow a beard they will not enter paradise. What absolute nonsense. There is is not one iota of evidence of a creator , on the contrary there are billions of reasons as why there is not. As far your comments about my comments insulting religious people well that is tough. I have a perfect right living in the Western world to have such views just as religious people have the right to carry on with their idolatry.
Further more let me tell you I have had my fair share of life's troubles and tribulations and still have them right now .My faith has kept me going. I never once turned to Father Xmas for guidance neither to Zeus , Athena , Apollo or Jesus.
Another comment that you made about immigrants searching for a better life in the West . I was one of them way back in 1961 . But my dear when at the age of 15 I arrived on my own at Victoria station in London I knew instantly that the nation I was in was ENGLAND not a part of Cyprus , Turkey , Bangladesh , Pakistan or any other nation. I came here on my own free will to search for a better life. People today arrive mostly by default ie asylum seekers , illegal immigrants etc etc. They bring with them a culture and a set of ideas that are more suited to medieval times , ie forced marriages , honour killings -Yes in the UK - a code of dress that makes them stick out like a soar thump. No effort at all to integrate and become part of this nation. These are the people I call peasants.

GORILLA GIRL old bean, can i just straighten out a couple of things for you ?
and please remember this is not personal !
The US of A had no intention of saving the jews or the gays or the gypsies from the nazi hordes in the war until they had another 9/11 incident with the japs. up to that point they didnt care too much about the war in europe which had been going on for two years.
when they did come in they initiated a programme of lend lease to the jolly old U.K. We just made the last repayment (with interest) last week 60 years after the war ended.
Not an attack darling, just stating the facts maam, just stating the facts.

The facts are Bof , had it not been for the US of A you and I and the entire Europe as well as most of the world would have been under the domination of the Nazis or the communists.

I am sorry but I do not usually get into these types of arguments but I am afraid your comments have insulted me.

My father died in a Lancaster bomber, as a rear gunner, and you sit there telling everyone that the USA won the war for Europe!!!! How rude!!

I am not saying that the US didn't help but to tell everyone that "we would be under Nazi domination" I find insulting to the memory of my father and his RAF colleagues.

Please think before you speak

ok, so the usa didn't get inviolved until we got attacked at pearl harbor? and SOME PEOPLE on this forum think the USA thinks of themselves as a "world police"? this would be proof that we weren't, until we got dragged into it, and who wouldn't retaliate after such an attack? (or the 9-11 attacks).
well, all i can say is that the involvement of the USA in WW2 was a good thing if you were a minority in Nazi Germany....

[miltiades]

Snad , England would have crumbled just as the rest of Europe did had it not been for America entering the war and providing us with the means , for which we just finished paying for , to defeat the Nazis.
And what do you find insulting about your fathers memory my dear , the fact that the USA contributed so much towards defeating Nazism ? Get real girl we have a lot to thank America for. Can I also say dont let the name Miltiades cloud your judgement there is a lot of English blood in my family too and family members who perished fighting for freedom and England.
