1) Yes, Communist is what I meant. okay

2) The majority of schools are Atheist. Any school that is not religious is atheist. thanks for dodging the point

3) Banning alcohol is ridiculous, because it is harmless in small amounts, and indeed beneficial. Banning tobacco would be wonderful, but with the amount of smokers in the UK, and the world, it just isn't feasible. A better program would be to improve the "Do not smoke" campaigns. But none of those evil chemical ads, they clearly don't work. Perhaps distribute nicotine patches for free at supermarkets? thats kinda my point, prohibition wont work, so why not legalise, regulate and tax stuff instead?

4) Well, there could be an elected head of state (but don't call him the President). But keep the Royal Family there, just to preserve, as I said, the heritage of the country. Revolutions rarely lead to good times- look at Germany and the Soviet Union. heritage shmeritage, museums do that fine, just make buckingham palace one, keep the tourism, no point in keeping them imo, certainly no point giving them £40m+ for doing sweet FA imo

5) I read the BBC article, and apparently Clegg spoke very well, but what he seems to be doing now is trying to please the Labour crowd because he knows that very few people actually liked the old Lib Dems. I would expect them to beat Labour in the general elections, at least, but the Tories would have quite a large majority- perhaps as high as 50%. I agree with that anylasis of what the election result may well be, for me this sucks, you think i have problems with the Lib Dems, dont get me started on the tories and cameron (clegg is irritating, cameron is 10x that and then some)

 

Lol, notice how we are slowly agreeing on each point.

1) Good, solved

2) How am I dodging the point? You said faith schools should be abolished. There are plenty of non-faith schools already. *sigh* no, what i said was we cant pander to every minority intrest group and also do so fairly, so we shouldnt bother pandering to any of them

3) Because people would continue to pay no matter how high the taxes got, and that isn't good for the people. Smokers need to be discouraged and eased off, not prohibited and taxed. sure, why not do both? encourage people to stop but for now have things legal, so you can at least make money while your solving the problem? also, having them legal would probably help treatment, you could allow doctors to wean people off if things were legal, at least medically for rehab?

4) No need to give them £40 million, I agree. But come on, you can't just throw them out on the street! Bring their monetary supply down to perhaps 1/8 of that. But don't destroy the symbol of the country. Nobody will want to see Buckingham if it's a museum. i dont see romans anywhere, do you? people still flock to see the roman baths (in my hometown of bath) even without them? surely the main tourist atraction is the palace and sites, i doubt many would care wether or not the monarchy were there or not, lets face it, how many tourists are realisticly going to meet them anyway?

5) It's not so much that Cameron is bad, it's that everyone else is worse disagree here, i think he is worse than the others, lol, hell, even brown seems preferable to me, ideally, none of the 3 would get in and a new Centre Left party will emerge before the GE! (a man can dream, ey? lol)
