Soldiers and Socialism

That soldier's compensation fiasco was a disgrace. Those socialists in Parliament see the police and soldiers as tools to be discarded when their usefulness runs out.

If I was in a civil war against the government and found a wounded government soldier, I'd disarm him first and say:

"The reason you're wounded is because you were taken in by the lies that are preached by Parliament. The same Parliament who sees you now as nothing but a discarded tool. Your choices are that either you switch sides, and I will actually try to get you some treatment, or I leave you here. Choose now!"

Three Reasons for liberalising the use of firearms in Britain, and legalising handguns for civilians...

1. Self-Defence: If some junkie tries to rob you in the street, what do you think will scare them more? Someone threatening them with a knife, or with a pistol?

2. Registering firearms isn't completely effective: Because everyone knows that if you have to use a firearm for something illegal or at least questionable, you make sure that the firearm found by authorities isn't your firearm, or at least, one that's not registered to you. And that usually means stealing it or smuggling it in.

3. Jobs: Let's face it. Sooner or later, if someone wants to get a certain thing, like the latest electronics or a new fridge, they're going to prefer one made in their country. The same would apply to firearms.

Politics and Gaming

Already sent my British Libertarian Party application.

The Libertarian Party is about increasing personal freedoms, smaller governments, lower taxes and freer markets. http://www.lpuk.org http://lpuk.blogspot.com/

I was thinking of saving up for DC Universe Online, a MMO game where you make your own superhero/villain fight alongside/against Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor and Brainiac. I've seen one mission on the hero side where Brainiac's attacking Metropolis by infecting civilians with a nano-virus that makes them run amok. You have to knock them out, and make sure that you extract a sample of the virus to make an antidote with. While you're doing that, Lex Luthor gets the bright idea of testing out his new battlesuit, so you have to floor him as well!
