They also kill innocent people, so do the police. Read the forum for a bit, and you'll find some examples of that.
Yes, they do kill normal people too. But when gang bangers buy a gun on the black market, they generally do it in order to kill members of rival gangs.

They generally do it to commit crime as well I imagine. From muggings to murder. In any event, I'm not pro-armed gangs, I don't know why you are...

I'm not, gangs never use legally owned guns or have licenses. Only the good guys legally own guns.

I disagree, there are many examples of people who legally own guns and have killed their entire family or people at their school or their lover etc.

Those are crimes of passion.

i.e.
A man finds out his wife has been having an affair and shoots her. Whether or not she deserves it is another debate entirely.

That it is, and people who commit crimes like that are not "good people" as you put it earlier.

There are many many many examples of people who kill other people (with no good reason) in the USA with legally acquired guns. You know this, so do I.

He's a liberal, they never make sense and are always hypocrites.

95% of what is said about liberals here is wrong or lies, I can't remember the other 5%.

Squall, you are deluded. Your premise that liberals are anti-freedom is like calling Israel anti-Jew. Start with an insane premise, the rest is idiocy.

You have a twisted idea of the word you use like freedom. You're a radical ideologue.

I could pick apart your post bit by bit, but what's the point - how far are you going to get with the guy who says Israel hates Jews? It's kind of pointless except to say he's nuts.

It's not that you couldn't have some valid points buried somewhere - The English have made choices some would disagree with and others agree with. You could argue anything from why they allow the large coverage of security cameras to why the hell they didn't remain a brutal, murdering colonialist power in places like India.

But there's no point in bothering with your idiocy needing to be waded through.

We had our freedom warriors who tried to protect us from the communist plot of fluoride in our water - you are the same type of misguided nut IMO. Would I be right, talk radio fan?

I think that it's pretty normal to dislike the UK. I wouldn't say that it's normal to hate all British people, but their country, government, and policies are deserving of plenty of hate. This is the country that raped and murdered the entire world. It is the most bloodthirsty organization to ever exist in the universe.

The UK enforces a royal-peasant caste system upon its people. Somehow a lot of the people there are brainwashed into thinking that being a peasant forever is fine.

It's a fairly barbaric society, to be honest.

Exactly, the UK and the USA are fundamentally the same, with minor differences.

Is that a joke? THe UK believes in a caste system while the USA does not believe in barbaric caste system practices. That's a huge difference.

There are more similarities between India and the UK than with the UK and the USA, and it's not even close.

It's a bit ironic that this thread is by an idiot who is basically demanding the UK *return* to being the sons of bitches you are criticizing. Which is it - hate them for being too submissive, or hate them for being evil tyrants? Hate them for giving up guns, or for using guns to murder millions?

There is plenty to hate the British for in history. But they've set a global example of facing the choice between empire or democracy, and choosing democracy. Mostly.

They're not perfect, but have done pretty good. I'd say they deserve a lot more praise than criticism for that - as we face some of the same issue with global empire.

We got a little taste of that, as the Bush administration began to erode our institutions - remember the 'Unitary Presidency' not bound by the law, 'Patriot Act *II*', etc.

Who has a greater concentration of wealth - something you criticize - the UK or US?

The same people who attack the UK like the OP, are the ones who show no concern about other countries being oppressed, who tend to praise the same empire you attack.

Redirect your hatred to the Queen Whore. She's the source of most of those problems you list.

Absolutely. The removal of the UK caste system would probably result in a much better British society. We've seen backwards countries like India officially remove its caste system, I'm sure that the UK can do it, too.

This is an interesting post, I think that it shows your want for the return of the UK Empire. I made no demand for the UK to go back to its bloodthirsty ways. I can now only imagine that the desire for some sort of white supremacy Empire is part of your subconscious.

You have a pretty sick mind.

That is the funniest thing that I've ever read. No, they didn't have a choice to keep their disgusting empire. The only thing they did was choose democracy for British people, but attempt to enslave and prevent democracy to non-British people.

Anyways, nice revisionist history you've got going there.

Of course you think they deserve praise - they killed billions of what you consider to be undesirable people.

Who has a greater concentration of wealth - something you criticize - the UK or US?

The same people who attack the UK like the OP, are the ones who show no concern about other countries being oppressed, who tend to praise the same empire you attack.

Again, and now you defend the caste system. This is typical of many white supremacists - you use the caste system as a vehicle of your racism, and even religious discrimination, and a hatred of women.

Typical of many American liberals - they're liberal until it comes to European issues, then they become conservative white supremacists. US liberals need more people such as myself who reject ideas of white supremacism. You make us look bad.

Yeah I noticed that bit the bit that confused me (but now makes sense) was:

I was thinking "Who is this guy" doh...

I can see how that was confusing - especially since I mis-wrote. I'd just written a lengthy post about gay bigotry and changed 'Israel hates Jews' to 'Israel hates gays'. Oops, thanks!

Perhaps the better question is why you feel you need to hate. I can find many faults with any government or system, but for me hate is an active and draining emotion. It requires effort. That kind of personal investment in emotion seems to be better spent elsewhere.

I'd say that it would better spent in the pursuit of improving one's self.

Oh wow, the amount I want to roll my eyes to this post would probably cause some sort of severe damage.
