    Kids now control our streets

    So now you have yet another excuse for doing nothing. Except of course to point out spelling or gramatical errors. Very gratifying to the ego of course but not a very practical course of action. What action will you be taking to deal with the original problem in this thread?

    Why does America lead the world?

    The point I was making is that is that at the height of the British Empire, Britain could have easily afforded the Welfare state. That Britain waited until the nation was nearly bankrupt at the end of WWII is a strange occurence. This is not intended as a condemnation of the British wefare...

    How about... writing to the editor of your local paper writing to the Minister of Justice and the Home Secretary for more police and tougher jail sentences writing to the Minister of Education as to why these young people have no job skills, no education and therefore no hope. That would be...

    Why does America lead the world?

    What was the actual value of the war material supplied to Britain by the US? About 20 to 30 times the amount you quoted. Why did the US bill Britain for these item? Perhaps because the war was OVER. Without Lend Lease, you would be speaking German right now. The ammunition and fuel the RAF...

    If the US makes it back. History has shown us that the hardest thing to do is to go from bad to good. The easiest thing is to go from bad to worse.

    Why does America lead the world?

    The US leads the world in much the same way as Britain did when it was the world's only super power. A ruling class, rich beyond imagination and totally entrenched in power. A middle class who yearned to join the ruling class. A working class that lived in poverty and desperation and that the...

    Why does America lead the world?

    Would it suprize you to discover than in N America, football/soccer is considered a school girl game? While boys do play the game, it is primarily teenaged girls who make up the largest percentage players. This is fine as they seem to have fun and the legacy is the US domination of the women's...

    I'm pretty sure the word you're search for is spelled. It's spelled exactly as it's pronouced. My favourite missused word is drunk. Drunk is what happens after you have drank too much.
