Aye lad, in an ideal world it would be but unfortunately things aren't equal are they?

A child under 5 years old dies every 3 seconds in Africa, that's about 30,000 every day and nobody on here even noticed. So let's not get too philosophical about stuff that we don't normally give a sh!t about. We're all capitalists with money and possessions meaning more to us than they really should but that's where we are and I thank my lucky stars that I was born here and not a few thousand miles away.

I know a bloke who gets all excited about the politics and rivalry of football clubs - With all these people dying, you'd think they would get some perspective of life wouldn't you?

Yeh i didnt mean tit for tat just the media coverage of the differant events

steve straight away the blame from some was put on muslim people it could be some nut from the states not happy with the gun laws or anything and the yanks are just itching to get into korea and iran the thing is the puppets in this country dont get involved in these wars in my name

We are nothing but cattle though Johnie, to pretend our opinions/feelings matter one iota is folly.

I love a bit of political banter but this is a car based forum and it's bad enough people falling out over cars, never mind their politics.
