They are not separate from us. They are us. On this we completely agree, our politicians are a reflection of ourselves …….we have to start voting for other people. 40 minutes ago, Mickey Finn said: Most of our current issues are the side effect of WWII/ THE COLD WAR. Just like WWII was a side effect of WWI. The upside is we were not killed in WWIII. Now the Global System is ending and we are wondering if Europe is going to explode into war again. I just saw that Germany has shut down Nord Stream for maintenance. Everyone is UPPING their military spending. Finland and Sweden are joining NATO and the USA wants is out of it all. How would you handle all of that differently? Firstly, we shouldn’t be at this point…..however, seeing we are I think the first thing I would do is call out the corrupt system in public and on the world stage. Id tell the banks to stuff their 2.5 trillion debt up their arse…..it would ruin the country and we’d be better off for it. Maybe all the f***ing invaders would get back on the Windrush and head for home. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why you guys hate Boris. He may have been a corrupt b*****d. But he has balls and sometimes balls are enough. Honestly, Michigan had serious financial problems, so we elected a businessperson to Governor. Sure, our financial situation improved. But he raised taxes on pensioners for tax breaks to corporations and gave over half a million inner city children lead poisoning. The lawsuit for that will cost us over one billion in the long run. So, are we better off for it? Depends on who you ask, I guess. 1 minute ago, WILF said: Firstly, we shouldn’t be at this point…..however, seeing we are I think the first thing I would do is call out the corrupt system in public and on the world stage. Is there a system that isn't corrupt? Might be too much to hope for. Devil you know and all that. I guess you are really talking about a set of specific complaints. Over here if you push aside all the "PC" issues and the odd storming of our capital. We have crumbling infrastructure and low pay. Our tax system remains skewed towards the wealthy. Largest of almost all, our manufacturing jobs have been shipped overseas. Violent demonstrations rocked our summer last year but it's sort of quiet this summer. The police are staying out of sight and parishioners have taken to guarding their own churches. I won't be so insensitive to complain about our fuel prices. But beer prices are going through the roof! A new hunting dog pup may run you $2500.00 (2102.00 pounds I believe) On top of that we are short around 14 million workers even before all of the baby boomers retire. We want out of the Global Policing business and to spend our money at home. But, we can't really do that with Russia taking over other countries can we? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
