Riots in the UK?

Ok, so you're happy to do nothing while they chip away at you and then consider direct action when you've got nothing left?

You make the assumption that the governemnt is constantly trying to reduce personal rights? Are you so paranoid?

The point I was making was that I appreciate how a democratic system of government work. The government proposes a law, the populus accept or oppose it. Peacful protest is one vehicle of opposition.

You seem so invested in your mis-interpretation of the goverment as some sort of Orwellian state that you can't recognise the difference between a (relatively) minor issue and something major.

Doesn't make sense to me. I don't even know why you're continuing this line of debate, if you're happy with the government and the laws it dictates then why bother questioning anything? Just sit back, do nothing.. reconvert to christianity while you're at it, since you like delusions of saftey.

Where exactly did I say this? Oh, right, I didn't. You decided that because I don't share your views I must be silently complicit. This is despite the fact that our discussion is largely about the operation of opposition to these reforms.

Again, you can't accept any position other than you're own without trying to belittle it as a cowardly action. I have no delusions of safety, I see things in terms of relevant response. In this case the relevant response to a proposed law is to oppose through civil means.

Ah I was only joking; making light of your attempt to ingratiate yourself diplomatically with the site owner/admin whatever Adrian is. Seems like it worked anyway lol

I suppose it never occured to you that I was simply stating my agreement with his position. If you see this as so form of disingenous ingratiation, well, I guess I'm sorry you're such a closed-minded asshole.

But take my previous advice anyway, I didn't mean for you to perceive it as an attack. Remember, just because you have the right to freedom of speech, it doesnt mean you should ethically talk just to be talking, it's your duty to gain perspective before forming your thoughts, otherwise you're just going to say and do the wrong things. Try and be one of the few people who realises this early in life, instead of wasting 20 or 40 years before it dawns on them.

So, now its assumptions about how I'm basing my thought process? I find it rather insulting you presume to tell me how to think, ot about my duties. On what basis have you come to the conclusion that I do not actively seek perspective before forming my thoughts?

Cheers
