    Remember the Government do not have any money of their own. It is OUR MONEY that they spend.

    Seriously I would lynch him. I hope the Police would keep their usual high standard up and not prosecute me if they found me.
    Hold on a minute! 3 square meals a day,jumping the NHS waiting list for ops teeth and everything else. TV and an Xbox(whatever that is) in my comfy warm cell I would probably hand myself in!:D

    I know that I should care, but I am totally defeated by trying to understand the issues involved.

    Here’s my view as a moderately intelligent, very pro-American Brit.

    1) Obama doesn’t seem to have done anything disastrously wrong during his first term.

    2) Obama doesn’t seem to have done anything spectacularly right during his first term.

    3) A major issue seems to be healthcare with a lot of Americans not wanting it and Obama thinking it’s a good idea

    4) Romney looks a bit of a buffoon and a tad disaster prone. He brings to mind the later Bush

    Actually, having written it down, and with particular reference to 4) I think Obama is probably my preference.

    How does that analysis seem to our US chums on here?

    Moggy

    I think Moggy has summed it up better than me.(Good God I seem to be agreeing with him more often these days!)

    My point is/was they don’t put up with attacks against their own country.
    As for this country being a civilised society, Jim makes a valid point. I would also suggest you venture into any one of our towns or cities after dark and view the civilised antics of our citizens.
    Take enough money with you in certain areas and you can buy or rent a gun.
    As for drugs you can usually buy them in the street near a school gate or outside a Tesco Metro.

    Honestly I don’t care much. Whoever wins will still have his strings pulled by those in the shadows.
    I would like Obama to win though as he seems the most Statesmanlike. Be fair to him he became President just as the economy collapsed and can hardly be blamed for the mess left by the chimp at home and overseas.

    Ask yourself this, do want the return of the death penalty as revenge or as a deterrent?

    Both! it would make me feel better!

    Most Countries do it. Strke us and we hit back!

    Fortunately the powers that be don’t wish the British criminal justice to be dragged back to the dark ages. Just because some members of the public behave like savages doesn’t mean the state has to.

    Not at all savage just disposing of rubbish that would cost a lot of money to keep and act as a warning to others to consider the consequences of their actions

    A little out of datebut the majority wanted murderers topped
