If the arguments suggests that the government care about specific demographics of anyone, or respect one demographic over another, the argument cannot be consistent with "equal rights".

4ftfingers Much like the contradiction of 'positive discrimination', where a company or orgnaisation actively employ people based on their ethnicity to prove that they have no bias based on ethnicity.

4ftfingers It's my undrstanding that he promised an exit strategy. In this, which he delivered on 27th Feb 09, he stated that the US combat mission in Iraq would end by 31st August 2010, but a 'transitional force' to train the Iraqis may stay until the end of 2011.

4ftfingers I may be way off, or I may be stating the obvious, but this is my understanding... Every country of the EU needs to approve the Treaty of Lisbon, for it to take affect, but before Ireland can approve the treaty, they need to change their own constitution...

4ftfingers Obama gets criticised for meeting and talking personally to the public (just as Bush did), but if he didn't meet the public, he'd get criticised for not being in touch with the American people. The guy can't win, he'll get criticised either way. But then that...

4ftfingers The comparison of Obama and Hitler is just a cheap shot made by those who oppose Obama. The truth is politics tends to turn in circles. We elect a party because they are fresh and exciting, we get bored fo them, then we want something new. This gets...

4ftfingers The US became the world police when the British Empire died. The US won't stop involving it's self in other nations affairs because the money made from exploiting other nation's resources is enormous compared to the tiny amount of money they use to pay them...

4ftfingers I think what's really sad is that he had been binge drinking from the age of 13 and either his family didn't realise or didn't do anything about it sooner, he was only admitted to hospital with liver problems 10 weeks ago. It is a big shame this man died. I...

4ftfingers Do you mean that he won't take you seriously as a potential girlfriend? If so, then I'm going to be honest, if you are giving off signals that you like him like that and he's ignoring them and laughing and joking then it might meant that he's not interested...

4ftfingers It depends on what they are doing but I think often when people harm themselves it's an innconvenience to others at the very least, but sometimes upsetting or worse for others. For example some people might argue that they don't have to wear a seatbelt when...

4ftfingers I think it just goes to show how in our capitalist countries financial crimes are a much bigger deal than murder, rape or any other crimes commited against another person or people. Money is more important than people, and that's quite sad.
