+John Teacake MVC Posted September 1, 2013 MVC Share Posted September 1, 2013 It's a fairly self-explanatory title, really What would it take, do you think, to wake the people of the UK up to the realising of the value of liberty (and the willingness to be involved in taking it back)?

AsherGZ Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 You mean overthrow the Queen? Edit: Oh well. In that case I think the US is more in need of liberty than anyone else.

DrCheese Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 nly people who worry about it are narcissistic paranoid weirdos who feel special, and don't understand at all what it is and how it works. Yes, not wanting to be spied on by your own government is being a "paranoid weirdo" If you have no issues with this (i.e you have nothing to hide) then clearly you have no issue with the government putting CCTV in every room of your house. After all, you have nothing to hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torolol Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 you can always try mock UK peoples for any kind of "Liberty" they missing / don't have, be aggressive and almost insulting as possible, BUT you must remain factual in your stance. That would irk lots of peoples about it, and they try to counter by gaining what they supposedly doesn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulligan2k Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 i always think that it makes people feel important, that someone out there is watching and listening to whatever they do. truth is most people just do mundane routine things for most of their days, certainly not worth watching and recording Charisma and The Evil Overlord 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noir Angel Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Define "true liberty". Censorship of the Internet is happening all over the western world, it's the price you pay when you allow your politicians to be brought and sold by corporate lobby groups. I don't feel I have a lack of freedom here at all, the only "freedom" we lack that the yanks have is guns and that's something I'm pretty happy about. No society in the world has complete freedom, and asking loaded questions like this without any context strikes me as a bit silly. I thought Brits got everything free, watch tellie, gamble a lot, and only work if they feel like it. :laugh: You do realise that Fox News often tell lies, right? :P MightyJordan and BillyJack 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
