This is a question I'm asking you, General. Why the hell is Great Britain allowed to be allied with western nations? I cite many past examples of a complete disregard for human rights. Longstanding gun laws, the recent bin your knife campaign and now the illegalization of violent pornography between consenting adults.

My question to you, team, is why the hell is Saudi Britannia allowed to be allied with respectable nations? Why aren't they in the axis of evil? Why the hell are they letting Hitler win?

a complete disregard for human rights.

Longstanding gun laws,

the recent bin your knife campaign

Why the hell are they letting Hitler win?

Hitler is dead and Britain is one of the most civilized nations in the world :confused:

Remember, do fire or acid damage, otherwise its health will just regenerate!

Why the hell are they letting Hitler win?

Longstanding gun laws,

Like every other nation?

the recent bin your knife campaign

Meh?

and now the illegalization of violent pornography between consenting adults.

I was aware that wasnt a law yet.

My question to you, team, is why the hell is Saudi Britannia allowed to be allied with respectable nations?

Because they are a respectable nation?

Why aren't they in the axis of evil?

Because theyre white and Bush doesnt label white nations in the Axis of Evil (TM).

Why the hell are they letting Hitler win?

Hitler was Austrian.

how can you say "letting hitler win" we were fighting hitler way before you were the USA only joined the war because of pearl harbour otherwise Britain,Russia and the commonwealth would have fought by ourselves.And then "disregard for human rights" ever heard of guantanamo bay where it's been proven the USA tortures people."longstanding gun laws"maybe we don't want shoot outs on our streets unlike you.

*Hits you with tree planting shovel and burries under a sappling*

well that only goes to the root of the problem, the real problem which branches off from burying me is that if i die i'd have a wooden expression on my face.
This would clearly sap your strength from your campaign of tree planting.
so think about it do you really think you're up to the task of burying me? or is your bark worse than your bite?

I really should have checked which area of Britain the teachers were from...by god, what if they speak Geordie, or worse...scouse?!

and doesn't laughing at yourself encourage others? maybe i'm being a bit paranoid, all this equality talk on NSG must be getting to my head.

Don't know. I'm too busy being paranoid that the government might imprison me without trial, possibly in a military compound on a nearby island, as I don't have a shotgun in the glove compartment. On my days off I smuggle illegal violent porn despite the official reccomendation of the ubergrippenführer.

At least we don't waterboard terror suspects. Good day!

It was the gun control part that got me. You wouldn't find people in many other countries calling gun ownership a human right.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out that since British homeowners became completely defenceless by banning handguns in the 90s burglaries have fallen by 59%.

youd think that after all this time we would have found his secret headquaters. im thinking we should look in the arctic. we'll get that bastard yet!

:eek: Woah.

I can't tell whether your a right wing nut, (based on the gun laws comment), or a left wing nut (based on the human rights, and pro-porn comments). Maybe your just plain nuts. In the absence of further evidence, I'm classifying this post as Genus: Troll, Species: Random.

In any case, there are far better, fairer, and more relevant criticisms to be made of Britain, but it has just as much reason to be in Nato as anyone else, and probably more then many members. Seriously.:rolleyes:

Their position, further west than any of the European nations and splatted right in the North Atlantic, might have something to do with it. Their status as a founding member of the organisation might help a little too.

I cite many past examples of a complete disregard for human rights.

Only against our own citizens. We treat foreigners with the utmost respect! Erm, when we're not bombing them to the stone age, anyway.

Longstanding gun laws

Doesn't America have gun laws? Doesn't every other NATO country, for that matter? Guns without laws would be madness! MADNESS I TELL YOU!

the recent bin your knife campaign

Britain is doing its part to aid the worldwide knife shortage via the redistribution of knives, and sacrifices must be made. What are you doing about it?

and now the illegalization of violent pornography between consenting adults.

If you can find me a law banning violent pornography between consenting adults, I'll give you a healthy spanking.

They're not! America's in there too!

Tony Blair was George Bush's love puppy, and Gordon Brown bakes him special brownies. Bush was reluctant to call any such people 'evil'.

Why the hell are they letting Hitler win?

NEWS JUST IN!

Reporters in Germany have recently discovered that Hitler died several decades ago, in spite of his recurring appearance in Internet threads everywhere. A random sample of randomly selected particularly random German Jews were said to be "shocked, relieved, and slightly aroused," an answer not helped by our intrusion into their bedrooms during 'cuddle time'.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel commented, "I had an inkling that he was dead. Somehow I doubt I'd have been elected Chancellor if he was still alive. I'm glad to see that my suspicions have been confirmed."

Meanwhile, Germans everywhere are celebrating the news that their long-dead dictator is actually dead. A party is planned in Berlin later today.

Bit of an anticlimax really; we had an enormous, worldwide war to try and stop his evil rampage, that saw the deaths of countless millions, and just as we were about to finally kick his arse in an event that would have pleased Hollywood directors everywhere - he finished himself off! What a waste of time! Fancy committing suicide just to stop us from earning a frag? That's proof that he really was a bastard.

yeah sure it was. sssuuuurrrre it was, it's just a typo, nothing like letting a convenient truth slip from the tongue no?

My question to you, team, is why the hell is Saudi Britannia allowed to be allied with respectable nations? Why aren't they in the axis of evil? Why the hell are they letting Hitler win?

well my first question would be WHAT "respectable nations". that's a lovely attractive notion that there are any, and maybe there are a few that come close, but i can't really say for certain that i know of any.

my second question would be: if not gb, then why the u.s. either?

is it being forgotten that every powerful nation, and quite a few that arn't have closets overfolowing with skelitons?

the reason, the only reason, gb AND the u.s. are in anything like nato, is that they just happen to have been instrumental IN STARTING IT.

otherwise, there's no good reason for allowing the u.s. to remain, let alone great britain.

and if anything, mutual defence against a wanton and conciousless aggressor, i mean in today's world that's the u.s., and of course to the degree gb has gone along with and been the lap dog of that, but i think if anything gb has likely gone along to get along. it's the u.s. that needs to be expelled so the rest of the world can unite to defend itself against it, or rather against the international economic intrests that it defends against the well being of land and people everywhere.

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power and participation in one of the globes most powerful military organizations derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power as well as such membership just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

indeed. unless your daddy owned the economic intrests that owned the government. then you could still get elected to warm the chair and play president while the real economic powers pulled your puppet strings, no matter how loonie you were. of course then you might still pout because what you really wanted him to make you was comishioner of baseball.

Could be worse. You could hold a title that is more cerimonial than holding any actual real power, sitting around being nothing more than a target for the media and dispensing other worthless titles paid for by very rich businessmen while the government operates with minimal media coverage because the media is more concerned with your dating life and the fact that the same invisible government actually controls the media.

Violent porn is bad.

Hitler wasn't English

Saudi Britain?
The UK isn't even a Islamic nation, its protestant. (Christianity)
And has few connections with Saudi Arabia.

Britain is very respectable. Rich, politically strong and generally well expected. the nation is military powerful with up to date training and state of the art equipment. The countries geological position is highly important as it controls most trade routes into northern Europe. British forces, along with the French, and massive players in Natos QRF (quick reaction force) and has large commitments in the Balkens and Africa. The UK also has strong links with German, Israel and the USA. Britain leads the Commonwealth of 52 nations.

This is a question I'm asking you, General. Why the hell is Great Britain allowed to be allied with western nations? I cite many past examples of a complete disregard for human rights. Longstanding gun laws, the recent bin your knife campaign and now the illegalization of violent pornography between consenting adults.

My question to you, team, is why the hell is Saudi Britannia allowed to be allied with respectable nations? Why aren't they in the axis of evil? Why the hell are they letting Hitler win?

Uh...Dude... Can I have some of that pot you were smoking...'cause obviously you're reality is totally screwed...and I could use some of that...

While we're at it, why is Israel allowed in Eurovision?

If Turkey is in the EU, why not Israel in Eurovison :s

Actually, fulfilling Godwin's Law.

A splendid point, my fault for the improper terminology.

To be fair turkey at least has some land in Europe.

Damn this thread has some legs to it. I can't believe it is still going.

Israel has many cultural ties to Europe.

Also, they write good songs. Israel has won the Eurovision song contest TWICE.

winning doesnt count - they wouldnt have won if they werent in it... Australia has many cultural ties with Europe - i dont see it getting let in...

If Turkey is in the EU, why not Israel in Eurovison :s

It's our way of punishing them.

Also, they write good songs. Israel has won the Eurovision song contest TWICE.

Clear non-sequitur here.

If Turkey is in the EU, why not Israel in Eurovison :s

Unless they let Turkey in when I wasn't looking, I don't believe they're a member yet.

And Mirkana, if anything, writing good songs disqualifies Israel from participation in Eurovision. :p

Unless they let Turkey in when I wasn't looking, I don't believe they're a member yet.

If this has already been posted, apologies, but there is a bill soon to be voted on that would illegalise S and M and the like between consenting adults, because clearly nobody is able to make an informed, personal decision about their private life and preferences.

You can still do it, I believe the restrictions are on owning pictures thereof.

There is a Bill to outlaw violent pornography. It is nothing to do with sexual activity itself, and wouldn't even prevent couples filming themselves. They simply wouldn't be allowed to distribute it.

To be accurate, it would criminalise possessing images which show:

An act which threatens or appears to threaten a person's life
An act which results in or appears to result in serious injury to a person's anus, breasts or genitals
An act which involves or appears to involve sexual interference with a human corpse
A person performing or appearing to perform an act of intercourse or oral sex with an animal

And would not count regarding people possessing pictures of themselves.

Wrong;

"62
Possession of extreme pornographic images


(1)
It is an offence for a person to be in possession of an extreme pornographic


image.


(2)
An “extreme pornographic image” is an image which is both—


(a)
pornographic, and

30

(b)
an extreme image.


(3)
An image is “pornographic” if it is of such a nature that it must reasonably be


assumed to have been produced solely or principally for the purpose of sexual


arousal.


(4)
Where (as found in the person’s possession) an image forms part of a series of

35

images, the question whether the image is of such a nature as is mentioned in


subsection (3) is to be determined by reference to—


(a)
the image itself, and


(b)
(if the series of images is such as to be capable of providing a context for


the image) the context in which it occurs in the series of images"

The link is here (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200708/ldbills/051/08051.46-51.html#j400). The bill itself, in the form posted, is rather less explicit than that which you suggested, however, the basis of the bill is ludicrous. It is little more than quintissentially New Labour, moralistic, megalomaniac interference in domains over which they should have no jurisdiction.

Wrong;

Actually, he's exactly right. If you read the very next subsection:

An “extreme image” is an image which—

(a) falls within subsection (7), and

(b) is grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character.

(7)
An image falls within this subsection if it portrays, in an explicit and realistic way, any of the following—
(a) an act which threatens a person’s life,
(b) an act which results, or is likely to result, in serious injury to a person’s anus, breasts or genitals,
(c) an act which involves sexual interference with a human corpse, or
(d) a person performing an act of intercourse or oral sex with an animal (whether dead or alive),

and a reasonable person looking at the image would think that any such person or animal was real.

Now, shall we quote statute at each other all day, or will you just admit now that you made a mistake and move on?

How did I make a mistake? I was, in truth, correct in my original argument.

How? You claimed that it outlaws types of consensual sex. That's simply not true.

Noting that the thread's founder hasn't replied, I think we can assume that either s/he's doing this "trolling" thing, or that s/he's to embarrassed to admit that s/he's wrong.

As for abuse of human rights- a drug dealer broke into prison, distributed drugs and left via a ladder, none of the prisoners attempted to break out, they didn't want to.

I'd say that's a fairly decent approach to human rights, wouldn't you?

Your original argument was

If this has already been posted, apologies, but there is a bill soon to be voted on that would illegalise S and M and the like between consenting adults, because clearly nobody is able to make an informed, personal decision about their private life and preferences.
Which is untrue because this is a pornography bill with nothing to do with the practice itself.

Your second one was regarding the definition of 'extreme image' saying that it wasn't as explicit as I said it was, and Philosopy quoted the publication showing it was.

This is a question I'm asking you, General. Why the hell is Great Britain allowed to be allied with western nations? I cite many past examples of a complete disregard for human rights. Longstanding gun laws, the recent bin your knife campaign and now the illegalization of violent pornography between consenting adults.

My question to you, team, is why the hell is Saudi Britannia allowed to be allied with respectable nations? Why aren't they in the axis of evil? Why the hell are they letting Hitler win?

Troll much?

You "cite" nothing. You rant.

Oh, it's been "getting there" for years. I've written at length on this subject, so I know about the hurdles, and whether there's an agreement on Cyprus or not, it'll be several more years before there's any real chance of them getting in.

Because Great Britain serves as part of the muscle (alongside the United States, the US moreso) for the imperialistic notion of collective security through which interest groups can subjugate those who are not in alignment with the West, and keeps the rest of the West in line.

The Ring!!!

I was always under the impression that Britain was providing a civilising influence on the other Nations. Anyways, we were one of the founding members of NATO.

Is this some poor attempt at trolling? because it really isn't funny or well-thought out. My Magic 8 ball says yes.

We are in the Axis of Evil. The USofA is leading the charge but everyone's doing there best to be as evil as possible. Disregarding international law and invading foreign nations is only a start. We'll soon have Gladiators back on TV to dull your senses....oh wait..

You were better off with an OP like this:

"Why is Great Britain allowed in NATO?! It isn't even in North America! So why allow it into the North American Trade Organization!!?! Hitler."

It's actually the North America Taco Organization. It was originally formed by Mexican immigrants who sold Tacos to raise money to fight the Zapista's but it just sort of grew from there. Why the UK is allowed in when Mexican food is so awful here I have no idea.

Maybe the UK sent something similar to the 'Zimmermann note' that Germany sent to Mexico during WWI.

Because no one would be nice to the little Brits and let them snuggle with them. No one does like the U.K., they have a bad past. Almost all EU nations either don't like them, or are nuetral about them. NATO needed some more guns so we let them in. Only a few countries actually like them. When forming the EU, France staunchly opposed them joining. As well as several major parts of other forming countries. THe EU decided to let them join because they were supporting it alot and it would help bring a little more unification to Europe. If one of the biggest countries isn't allowed, smaller countries are more reluctant. :eek:

This of course is true so when the unpopular gang together joining the USofA's gang at least assures you of not being the most hated.

No one does like the U.K., they have a bad past.
Point to me a country which doesn't have a "bad past". The majority of the major European powers have awful colonial histories, where they treated the native populations like shite. The Belgian Congo is probably the "best" example of just how bad the mainland European powers can be in the past. Just because the UK had one of the longer lasting ones and has been involved in the majority of world conflicts doesn't mean in any way, shape or form that any of the other large European countries were lovely to the rest of the world and don't have "bad pasts".

No one does like the U.K., they have a bad past.
Who doesn't have a bad past? Really?

Proof for this, bitte.

I think you're confusing the UK and US here. The treaty of Brussels involved the UK, France, Holland, Belgium and the Luxembourgeois, because we were all up for working together, and the US because they had more guns than us.

Another thing that smacks of Just Being Wrong in your post - if we're hated so much, then why are we second in command of NATO? If the US falls, we take it over. Why not France or Germany, both of which are as well armed and as populous, or more so, than us, eh?
When forming the EU, France staunchly opposed them joining.
This is because De Gaulle was an ingrate of the highest order and for some reason hated the UK despite us completely saving his arse, and indeed country in World War 2. See how he complained about us in NATO, too.
As well as several major parts of other forming countries.
Such as?
THe EU decided to let them join because they were supporting it alot and it would help bring a little more unification to Europe. If one of the biggest countries isn't allowed, smaller countries are more reluctant. :eek:
Also because they needed our money, and at the time we were useful for our oil.

I going to go ahead and assume you are from America, what with your use of the term Saudi Britannia without cringing and the fact that you seem to think laws regulating guns are somehow an invasion of civil liberties. Yes, Britain has it's faults, but it has far fewer nonsensical laws than some places in America and Britain, has for a very long time campaigned for human rights across the globe, as well as banning such diabolical practices as slavery long before America. I'm not saying Britain is perfect- it is not, but give us some credit where it is due, and do some proper research next time you want to make sweeping statements.:D

lol. america's way worse, when was the last time britian invaded someone for resources against the wish of the UN?
