Because if you followed all of the bible you would be an evil menace to society.

And you wouldn't be able to wear Trainners.

21 Years and if they deem him still a threat after they keep him in (Which lets face it they will), he will spend the rest of his life in prison or at least till hes in his late 80's.

It's the goverment needs to look at changing the right to Euthanasia is certain cases (Which the majority of the UK is in favour of) the court was just upholding the current laws.

The problem with passing the legislation is the 16 unelected memebers of the church of England in the House of Lords would be opposed it because there a. Out of touch with the British public b. trying to prove the CoE is still a big national player when in reality it isn't. This would probably sway the vote, especially because the House of Lords has the likes of Ian Paisley on it who I suspect of being mentally ill.

I'm British/Irish and had no idea so many Americans were Circumcised.... The feck is wrong with your country!

In all honesty as much as I hate paying bills I love the BBC.

Theres one of afew things the British public all agree on, that the BBC is the best broadcasting company in the world and that we should never get rid of the NHS. (Ironically two things Americans would hate, damn cultural diffrences)

I thought we got passed this with the Greeks in 370BC but no apparently not.

I don't get why they are separate. Same culture, same ethnicity, same languages, etc.

And Northern Ireland is part of the UK but Ireland isn't. Dafuq?

Language, do you mean we both speak English as our first language? In Northern Ireland we have a two diffrent accents to our southern neighbours known as Mid-Ulster English and Ulster-Scots (Which is also classed as it's own seperate language). We also unlike the Republic of Ireland don't need to know Irish for public offices or to become teachers etc and it is not part of the school cirriculum here.

Northern Irelands pretty culturaly distinct it's diffrent from both the Republic of Ireland and Great Britian in terms of its mannarism. You seem like you don't really have any understanding of the issue at all.

There is also a lot of devision, may be worth mentioning.

I dunno theres to much division to really make a go of it without an essay.

I mean You have Loyalists who's main loyalty is to the Queen as head of state, The Unionists who just want to remain part of the UK, Republicans who want away with the Queen as head of state and a United ireland, then you have indepenandists who are about 5% of the population who would like to a self governing independant Northern Irish state.
But even within those groups theres division and sub factions. 4 versions of IRA republicanism and the new IRA dissidant republicans, Feuds within the UDA, UDA UVF in fighting.

I'd say it's less divided than it has been in the last 96 years it's existed tho. I think it's only 23% of Catholics support a united Ireland (Acording to a BBC survey) now which is the lowest it's ever been. And only about 10% of the overall population.

Personaly I've always seen the partitiion of the Island as one of the saddist chapters in it's history. It probably would have been sorted out if it wasn't for the first world war getting in the way (Athlough it could just as well have ended up a cival war with the 36th Ulster Division taking to the field and a revolt in the Empires army as they said they would refuse to fight fellow British citizens) and a bad reaction to the Easter Rising which even the Southerners didn't initialy support.

I think I speak for the entire western world outside America when I say, please dear God not a Republican.

As a Brit I cannot wait for the entire EU escapade to fall apart. Make it the free trade zone the EEC was supposed to be initally and leave it at that.
