"If it looks like a , and quacks like a , we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands." - Douglas Adams (English Writer) 1952-2001

(I could be convinced that the faggot British cops are not the problem, however. It is the notion within the citizenry of being owed a specific lifestyle by a monarchy that must be shot to death)

Killing them seems a bit extreme though.At this point in time I agree. During the French Revolution it was the right thing to do. A Tale Of Two Cities is a beautiful story, The Scarlett Pimpernel is wannabe faggotry. He should not have been shun ting the guilty out of France. If anyone deserves getting killed today it's not the kings and queens but corrupt and power-abusing politicians. Monarchs in Europe today are only figureheads. But you would have been right there for the French Revolution right?

We stand for freedom of expression, combative debate, and the generation of ideas. There are no boundaries here over what may be said, save for one rule - be prepared to back up your words. Or face the wrath of the community.
I think he means that Europeans don't love freedom as much as Americans do, since we have monarchies or have been used to have monarchies for about a 1000 years or so. I think he's partly right, even if that's not the only reason for the twisted view on guns etc that many or most Europeans have.

Read it as a personal assessment of British citizens who live off the state but want to do away with their government, though could have misread.

You and Lits ideas are totally sound, and could well be right. I just think that if someone posts something they should be prepared to back up their words. Only the OP knows what he really meant, but he seems to have a problem with backing up his words on any topic. It's a policy I believe in trying to stick to. Even if that means coming out and admitting I'm wrong, or that I can't back up what I've said.

Don't mind if Dirt is hard to understand.
