Probably Hblair. I cannot begin to explain my disgust for the way things are done here, for the whole philosophy of 'government' that is present.
And how everyonse seems to *accept it*.
I make a remark about the taxes being the highest in the world, and how services have steadily become worse and worse. Answer:
'If you want something, it costs. And the services bit is just the new rightish governments doing'.
That's the standard answer. Make a point about taxes in Denmark and you get 'if you wnat something, it costs'.
Sure, but it doesn't have to cost so MUCH. And it doesn't have to be paid under threat of violence (i.e taxes).
THEN there is the whole deal about personal freedom. Cannot own handguns. Shotguns and other rifles, sure, handguns, no. As if you cannot kill epople or commit robbery with shotguns.
And, as recent robberies have proven, for criminals, obtaining weapons is very easy indeed. I live in an apartment bloc that's rather seedy, with at least three drug trafficers right next door. Tell ya what; THEY seem to have little or no problems getting the guns they want.
And the sons of squeakes ain't afraid of using them. A few week back, there was a bank robbery. One civilian tried tos top it, first by turning over the perpertrators motorcycles, and when they just put them up again, by ramming them with his car. Then the second robber exited them bank, went to the back of the car and coldbloodedly shot the guy in the back. He died, leaving behind wife and children.
Perhaps he shouldn't have intervened. Then again, ti is men of courage who make a difference.
If he had had a gun, those stunninghunks wouldn't have taken his life. If everyone was armed, they wouldn't have said more than: "THIS is a robbe...".
The government fails to protect its citizens, and then doesn't allow us to protect ourselves.
It's outrageous. It pisses me off.
The new government is doing a fairly good job so far - it has put a stop to the ever increasing taxes and other things. but it's working against the 'security' mentality. Security over freedom. And of course the 'the government should cover my every expense and if I decide to have 10 children, they should pay for them'. Totally forgetting that it is, and will always be, the productive who are picking up the tab for the irresponsible slackers.
Off on a rant. It's just hard; I have no one who sees this around me. They're either not interested, or those that are interested are inherently far out on the left wing.
At least it's better than in Sweden. In Sweden,Vänsterpartiet have 9% of the votes. Literally translated Vänsterpartiet means 'the Left part'. Before the Soviet union fell to pieces, they were known as Vänsterpartet Kommunisterna - you guessed it, The Left Party of Communists.
Scary sheeit, ainnit?
