Yes the favouring possession over life, doesn't seem to have any evidence behind it , just a stab in the dark. Maybe too many people relying on 2k old book and 2C old constitutions , was what he meant by immature.

Any merit in this? I would guess its not far off what most of the developed world thinks. http://www.theage.com.au/business/comment-and-analysis/president-obama-was-wrong-australia-is-not-like-the-us-20151002-gjztja.html

apart from the time when the ethnic cleansing will result in a popular vote for the invader. I agree.

I would go that's far - or soon occupied Palestine will all be a Jewish state , and that cant be right either. The difference maybe that theres a very definite world order of whether Israel has rights to Palestine. One ignored, and allowed to be ignored though.

Yes - but didn't stop Minorca then having a funny history thereafter. Just using the example, so as to show much American land has been gained by a similar route.

I'll start with saying, NO - its too complicated, who exactly owes who. Unless we can find slave owners and their inherited wealth of today. But even then we would need reparations for the practical slavery of the working classes of the UK at the time. Do the UK Jamaicans pay? Do the decendents...

So if we sold Gibralter to the Morrocans (imagining that was even possible) - the Spanish then have no claim? Or we have had a referendum and 98% wanted the status quo of being GB.

You really are a sensitive bunch. Not so sensitive not to continue to kill in cold blood some of your imprisoned, fellow citizens, but sensitive never the less. Maybe if you don't like people sarcastically commenting on your death penalty stats, you could suppress them like China or N Korea?

Yes we all tend to limit threads to the issues of the world today?

Its hardly a point concurrent to an article just published on stats from now, comparing nations at the same point in history is it? - but yes - and our teeth are bad? If the OP wanted to make the US look bad and nothing else - your succeeding for him.

The article is posted directly by the OP, its a list of the top killing nations? Where the US had odd bedfolk. The note of the odd bedfolk, doesn't need a rehash of the arguments for and against the death penalty we all know so well anyway? But yes the worst countries and the US do share the...

A little dig in the ribs with the facts - that's all. US keeps odd bedfellows on this subject. That's all he said? And they do. Somehow it seems he needs to either not say it, or pad it out a little? I have no idea why? He not welcoming a Chinese delegation and musn't mention Tibet or...

The OP simply noted the dubious company the US keeps on this issue. Should he not have mentioned it?

I didn't see it that way. Even if it was, just agree with the policy or disagree to disarm it.

I don't think we are that interested who enacts it in the us or Saudi or where ever. We are more common by intrigued if you agree with it, and if the others involved make you consider it differently. Noones being given disingenuous. You're all being re divulges defensive of something you may...

As user of site - doesn't bother me in the slightest, if that was the question.

And how rediculous would it be if you started a thread on any of those topics for a Brit to reply - yeh - but what about the US's death penalty? Teeth - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-32883893 Hooliganism - largely history. Nobility - Moi? Bushes Bitch - we'd mostly agree. India - again we...

Luffbura The joke is its pronounced LowBrow University.
