uhhhh :-? 'option to eat'--either do or ya don't. I guess if you don't you die unfortunately no option is available with discriminatory taxation

I respect your views but if we stop talking about serious issues like the thousands of pensioners who will die this winter because they can't afford to keep warm, it won't go away. I was merely responding to Aiden's post. We all have different personalities and express our feelings in different ways, however, I take on board your comments. 8-) 8-) 8-)

So you're saying the millions of people starving in Africa are doing so because they're choosing not to eat?

Taxation is necessary to get us out of the **** that we're in because of 15 years of cheap loans and lending money to people who shouldn't have been lent to

On a lighter note... here's another ickle owl!!

In a word 'Yes'-sadly there is no organisation--Africa is a very fertile land well able to feed the whole population with proper management.

As for tax the main cause of debt is excessive, uncontrolled Government spending. Reduce this spending rather than Keynsian approach and there is really little requirement to impose high taxation.

Yeah Toph seen before---brilliant --- yeah I think owls are brilliant There is a big one that flies around Lackham roundabout 8-)

Ahh sorry my bad, never realised they were starving to death by choice. Perhaps you should tell the comic relief people so we stop wasting money sending it out to the lazy African bastards?

I know we are lucky to live in the rich west, I have backpacked around some third world countries and seen some shocking things.

But sill believe we have the right to question what is going on around us, I am not after free handouts just a fairer society.

From Swannys video. The sad thing is I have seen the after-mouth off the American war in Vietnam and Laos, lush forestation burnt out with agent orange. Mine fields / areas where cluster bombs landed in Laos that are still being de-mined. I remember one day the bus we were traveling on being waved down and a member of the public collecting money for funeral costs for a relative who had been killed by a mine. 40 years on and its still happening this time the enemy has changed from Dirty Commies to terrorists and countries America consider to be rouge states.

The sad thing is we have no say as the UK government will just follow the Americans like sheep. I can't even vote against this in the next election because all party's haven't got the balls to tell America to sod off

[redken1]

Did you see what happened in Pakistan?

[Swanny]

I've seen the same as you Taffy

Yea Red I did. They keep pushing them to fight back :-/
