Dowding if you find these discussions boring then by all means stop reading them otherwise either post something on topic or STFU!

Some of us take politics serious and like to point out the flaws in ALL parties.

Parliment is no better. At least you can have a two bodies that oppose each other. And there are real restrictions on the President.  In canada we have in effect a dictator that has absolutly no controls on what he wants to accomplish. THe canadaian version of "The Left Wing" would just recount tails of stupidity and graft. Maybe they should Air a series like that.

Never thought I would see an FDB drop a Dungeons and Dragons anology on these boards...

Jesse Ventura for president...and all issues are solved via a steel-cage match.

With all due respect to our true, and trusted, friends in England.  Is their something in the water over there, that makes you all such pompous ass's?

They never even speak of the whale that swallowed Jonah merely as a whale, but as the Prince of Wales. They think it suggests that he was an English whale. If he was that, that is sufficient. That covers up any probable flaws in his character. It is nothing to them that he went about gobbling up the prophets wherever he found them; it is nothing that he interfered with their business--nothing that he put them to infinite delay, discomfort and annoyance; it is nothing that he disgorged prophets in such a condition, as to personal appearance, that they might well feel a delicacy about preaching in a strange city. No--being an English whale was sufficient to make this infamous conduct excusable; and being English, they are willing to let the "great fish" pass for a whale, notwithstanding a whale's throat is not large enough to let a man do down.

the worst thing we do is call them "lawmakers"... it gives them the impression that we want them to make new laws.

We should call them "law reviewers" and give them the impression that their job is to review existing laws.

I'm a moderate socialist and I tolerate the monarchy simply because of the tourist revenue. So I really ought to say a big thanks to the American people for subsidizing my great nation.

I'm no subject. Western democracy was begun in Britain and we have the 'Mother of all parliaments' - for what it's worth. The royal family is a joke to everyone in the UK except a few sados and the older generation who remember public figures who didn't write books about their rather dull sex lives but actually represented their country. If you shot the lot of them tomorrow, no one would care. Least of all me. In fact I'd gladly pay an extra penny in tax just to put the lot of them on a deserted island with a complete media blackout.

I'd swear an oath of loyalty to queen at a drop of a hat, however, since the Queen to me is the figurehead of my country only. She has no power.

Hey Rip, do us a favour and drop the glib line. It doesn't make you look clever and the fact that you need a sidearm to give a feeling of freedom speaks volumes about you and maybe your country. I hope it's just the former, however.

Laz - haven't you got an attention seeking troll to start/continue in General Disc.? Be true to form, lad, and stick at what your good at - proposing various gameplay 'improvements' to antagonise those stupid enough to pay attention.

Easymo, the tough vet who can never post a comment without refering to his military service, as glorious as it probably was. Well I know Americans who are truly great people so, unlike you, I'll not generalise in an attempt to counter your half-baked ideas.

Thanks for the heads-up popeye.
