We don't get that our government is a bad fucking joke? Being distrustful of government and vehemently opposed to what it does is part of the American culture. You're suggesting that Americans don't get that their government does fucked up things? I mean, on other threads, we get lectured by Yerpeeins about how you all are so enlightened in that you trust your government to do the right thing. Now, it's you think your governments are fucked up, and the Americans that don't?Audley Strange wrote:Coito ergo sum wrote:
That's such fucking nonsense, and if a Brit is not upset about this law, then I don't want to here fuck-all from that Brit about American immigration laws. No room to talk. Your fucking government doesn't have even claim that the person would AGAINST the public good, or "harmful" in any way, or that the advocate unlawful violence, or that they want to incite anything. All you have to do is have some fucking bureaucrat say the is not "conducive" to public good. LOL. What a joke.
And, did you ever listen to the Muslim immigrants you have ranting all over your fucking island? I mean, those guys ADVOCATE killing people in the name of Allah. No biggie. This guy says "innnocent people should be able to defend themselves, even with martial art techniques that hurt their attackers" and you ban the guy for not being "conducive to the public good."
Christ on a flippin' bicycle....
Man you do go on about this. I think you miss the point. We've known our Governments are a bad fucking joke for a long time, we just LOVE that in the U.S. people don't seem to get that yours have been too and for a lot of people in Europe they like to wind you up about it because the more you defend a system by comparing it favourably to ours the funnier it is. It's like your saying "Oh yeah, well your shit has more flies on it, so there!"
I suppose it's a form of trolling.
As for the law, I think we'd be more upset if we actually were dumb enough to have faith in the corporate P.R. agents we vote in.
It becomes tiresome to hear the neverending mantra about how US immigration law is so unfair. Then we get something like this about the UK, and it's phrased, of course, that the American, who had done nothing wrong, is the problem, not the arbitrary British immigration rule? Had this been an American law at issue, the thread would have been "Merka denies entry to innocent person for espousing the wrong opinion" or something like that and we'd be banging on about how the US immigration system is something out of the 19th century.
The point is, Yerpeeins don't seem to to see the problems with their own governments, or at least if they do, they don't talk about them. We get endless discussions of the minutia of American law, but if anything is brought up about UK law, it's like "oh, well, no need to discuss that - we know our laws are fucked up." Great response.
