Yes. Especially when you realise none of the politcal systems are perfect and have serious drawbacks...but then again, I'd be hard pressed to find a better replacement to any of them right now, other than the odd policy change here an there.


And then it comes down to political parties (For democratic systems at least). There is not a single party that fully represents what I would stand for (Oh my! The curses of everybody being unique...), and even if there was, I seriously doubt how effective any they could be. IF they ever got elected, most of their policies would be strangled in red tape if they tried something a tad extreme, so then they're only limited to restricting and modifying policies from the last elected government, kinda like a neutral administration team for a country.


It's why we have the 3 "main" parties with maybe 1 or 2 upstarters (that would be UKIP), rather than a crazy uber-democratic system like Weimar Germany where you had extremes of both sides, then moderates, then the odd mix 'n' match parties with various standpoints, where nobody got into power because there was too much choice. Then fuck all happens which certainly isn't any better.


I'd almost go as far to say in the short-term, politics is stagnation. Only when the system fucks up, is abused, or total riot does change happen which in most cases has been positive in the long run. (See: Political Reform of the 19thC, Hitler's rise to power or any successful Revolution).

Frankie Boyle. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

I always thought Cardiff would be a pretty nice city

Sounds like you went there and saw the opposite.


For a city I find it relatively quiet to most, which is appealing as otherwise my shyness and the masses of people would have kept me indoors too often.

I don't like either; but at some points dubstep can be acceptable.


See the MLG videos, they'd be shite if they had Death Metal instead.

I'll think I'll live.

18.


Regardless of the law, people waaaay under will drink anyway. I'd be surprised if someone's first drink was when they were legally allowed to.

Oh! My nameplate got on a poll! Awesome!

Nah. The Welsh hate the Scots for having the referendum on independence.

Huh? You're thinking of the Welsh and English, as it's pretty quiet here regarding Scotland. If anything, it's made people here more supportive of Independence, or at least for more power to the Welsh Assembly.

Tea, all the tea.


Chai, Lapsang Suchong (?) and Wu-long teas are nice.


But whatever they put in those brand ones (Tetley, PG Tips, etc) are good too.

I could see this being potentially being not as bad as it sounds.


Yes, what he responded with wasn't very professional (or very smart as a Dr.), but it seems almost like he wasn't taking her seriously in the first place. Might have been said as a bad joke.


Still, he deserves what he gets for saying it. While they probably wouldn't take away his (license to be a Doctor?), his reputation as one is going to be tarnished pretty badly.

I don't know, but if Scotland does leave the UK, they better remove the blue and put a green bar across the bottom of the Union Jack or Wales is going to throw a fit.

I'd count it as manslaughter.


Sure, they are a fucking idiot for driving while drunk, but it doesn't ignore the fact they didn't go out to kill someone. They wanted to get home, and made a really big fucking mistake.

Every passing day, Roy here gets more relevant:





I don't understand the logic though. Old enough to create life and be allowed to continue to care for it (she has a 16 m/o baby, up until this point atm), yet is treated as a child when it comes to destroying it?

I made a GIF a few days ago. Sort of. Entitled "Carpet Ban".

I'd have to agree with BC2, though BF1943's one sounds pretty damn good.
