I still remember dancing to the song 'Cannabis' by Ska-P.. always fun, that one.prettyinmagenta said:
Right now I'm in a 'ZZ Top' phase again, trying desperately to recreate the weird sounds they elicit out of their guitars in 'La Grange' on my own guitar. Difficult, but I shall persevere!! xD
Chavs are a pretty big demographic in the UK, whether it's guys who think they're gangsters or out-right shell-suit jeweller-adorned indbreds. You get them in every big city, they tend to be from the poorer areas. People with money are rarely chavs.A random person said:
The BNP issue is a complicated one, somebody got a seat in parliament, but that doesn't come with much power at all really. They often get a seat from areas which have a high ageing population, and at the same time a lot of immigrants. This is because the older generation are less inclined to look at the benefits of people moving to the UK, and instead go out and see all the ethnicity as a problem. This paired with the fact that most of the people that vote from a lot of areas are retired or approaching retirement age, gives the result of a couple of BNP seats. It's nothing to worry about though, to be honest, all they get really is a chance to be heard and vote on issues. They can't really bring forward anything and if they did it would get pretty much ignored or voted against if it was remotely controversial.
That's my theory anyway. Another theory is that during any economic crisis, more and more people vote for an extreme party in one form or another, because they think that (for one reason or another) whatever they stand for will solve the problem, whether it's right-extremism as a solution to unemployment, or socialism as a solution to inflation.
[quote="A random person" post="18.128961.2780907Swedes, what is it like living in your socialist system of government? Is it good? Horribly oppressive like the republicans are making it out to be? Also to you and Canadians, what's your experience with the government healthcare? Is it a bureaucratic nightmare like the anti-government healthcare people here are saying it is?

Sorry for the double post, but we have public healthcare in the UK too, and it does get a lot of bad press, but it's not that bad. The problem with it is that it is over-used, because people (MOST OF THEM ARE FUCKING RETARDS) go to the hospital instead of the doctor or a pharmacist when they get a headache, or a graze on their knee or something really minor like that. Basically, this results in the queues being really big, so sometimes you have to wait like 3-6 hours before you are seen by a doctor. Also, there have been reports of diseases like MRSA spreading really badly in hospitals, partly due to what is considered a lack of attention by the staff, but is more likely to be a simple case of understaffing (which may or may not be a direct result of the fact that they won't employ enough people, and won't pay them enough so a lot of people choose to work in the more lucrative private healthcare sector). The private hospitals are, generally, exceptionally good as far as my experience of them goes. However, they are outlandishly expensive in most cases.

This one is for the Germans, Is it true that BMWs, Porches, Audis, and mercedes are actually inexpensive in your country? For comparison a 2009 BMW 328i costs $38,095, 2008 mercedes E class $50,399 and a Porsche Boxter $69,925, that is the average cost in america, what is it in germany?
I don't own a gun. I know only one person who does. I was 25 before I even saw a gun in person. In the American south and in America in general there are people who own guns but they are not everywhere. We have the right to bear arms but it's not something we all do. I walk to work every day and feel safe.Island said:
