Anyway, returning to the subject and ignoring panda’s usual stupidity, Obama got 10 million fewer votes than he did in 2008 and only just managed to scrape past the 50% mark. Not bad in a two-horse race huh?
His first term saw the US deficit grow to $1.3 trillion and looks like getting even bigger over the next four years. He can’t get anything done because the Republicans control the House of Representatives. Will America rue the day Romney lost the election? I think they will. This is the point where panda – treating the election as a victory of vlack over white will say “No it won’t. Do you know anything?” Yes panda, I know you’re a pain in the a.rse who knows f*** all that’s worth knowing.
You only see politics and life through your own, white, middle class, male eyes.
You have no comprehension of, or empathy with, your fellow human beings, or indeed any other life form.
Mind you, an alien might abduct you. But then they’ll probably give you back.
As soon as I saw the thread title I thought Pakistan.
What has happened to this girl as I said before is beyond comprehension.
It is due to religion BUT religious extremism.
Not so long ago, we had had a “war” in this country waged by the IRA which had its historical roots in religion. Tim Parry, Jonathan Ball et al were victims of this war.
So it’s wrong to tar Muslims or the nation of Pakistan with the same brush.
Let’s realize that there will always be religious zealots whatever the religion and whatever the Country who commit atrocities.
Having said that, I have no time for religion, hence my quote below.
The EU is presently in decline at best for the foreseeable future it will be an area of slow growth, surely we should be looking for customs agreements with them and encouraging our businesses to export to growth areas like India and China,,, Im actually not convinced we should leave the EU but neither do I think we should stick with the status quo.. maybe we should consider renegotiating our membership completely….but staying as we are is folly.
I actually agree with you that the status quo is not the way forward.
However, my main concern is that should we leave the EU we will become isolated and they will impose high, Protectionist trade tariffs upon us which will cripple us and cause the cost of living to rise to such an extent that we no longer live but exist.
We do not need political or social interference into how we run our lives but we need Free Trade.
It is not a new concept, having its origins in the 19th century:
