    The 10 commandments come from the OT, but Jesus summed them up in two, love thy God and love they neighbor as thyself.  So in reality the 10 commandments still apply, but are resumed in the two aforementioned commandments. 

    So once again I'm left with the classic Irish man's dilemma, do I eat the potato or do I let it ferment so I can drink it later?

    Yeah! Exactly! Fucking liberals - they're next on the list after Mozlems, Commies and Gays!


    Did I say that?? Liberalism or conservatism can exist in democracy because democracy has nothing to do with liberal or conservative values. Get it? Get it? So once again, i ask you, why is democracy automatically tied to liberalism??

    Democracy, theoretically and politically speaking, means the will of the people. That's it. Islam means the will of God. That's it. British culture cannot be defined in a paragraph, nor even in a book, but I know it and love it and I'll be sorry as I see it slowly disappear because of the mistakes of some "liberal" people who decided for themselves that Britain needed social engineering. Want to talk about intellectual paralysis?? OK, Europe is already screwed, and they don't even do anything about it. What do the politicians do about this inevitability?? They figure out a way to surrender in the least painful and most efficient fashion possible to where they will court the votes of those who will eventually bring down the system they participated in. That's "excessive" intellectualism. That's what happens. Defeatist attitudes will always be defeated. Amazing to me that it is the FRENCH, instead of the British that are now trying to stand up to this, but that's only because they have more of them.

    What really amazes me is all of the European and American lives that were lost in WW2 to protect their cultures and countries, only to see European countries give all of that sacrifice away willingly to mere social liberalism and experimentation, and ultimately, because of this, Islam. What was the US defending that Europe was not going to ultimately and willingly give away later?

    We make laws to protect citizens. It's kind of a principle we have. Making laws to make people feel uncomfortable is not what the government is for.


    Will it be that way if the demographics change?

    Right. Liberalism and democracy are not specifically related. Liberalism might be said to be a by product of democracy in that it allows such thoughts to exist.

    Yes, and so what?? Democracy is a political voting system, as is Communism, or lack thereof a valid voting system. Liberalism is a philosophy of how to apply a particular system, whether that be Democracy or something else.

    You are excused.

    Democracy in our society is shaped and has been shaped by the interplay and tensions between conservatism and liberalism. These have been defining recurrent ideas and forces that created our democratic landscape.

    This is so reductively ignorant it is absurd. Democracy is not just a technicality. Democracy is the accumulated ideas behind the freedoms, equality, rights and responsibilities, institutions, culture and organisation of our society. An accumulation of achievments, consensus and advancements, with a philosophy, history, theory and practise stretching back thousands of years. British democracy has been finessed and extended and formed by the interplay of liberalism and conservatism in many different forms and ways.

    You're confusing the modern day Democracy spawned by the US with the Democracy they borrowed from the Greeks. It's a political voting system. Why do you think that both liberalism and conservatism exist in all Democracies?? Because neither have anything to do with Democracy. One might be able to say that more liberal people tend to desire a more Socialist society and more conservative people tend to desire a more Capitalistic society, but that's about it.

    They are intertwined with democracy and the very processes and formation of democracy. They have been formed by democracy and in turn have formed our practise of democracy.

    Look, at best, they are outcomes of democracy, but they really are philosophies rather than political systems, just as capitalism and socialism are economic systems that can both exist in democracies, the same as democracies can elect liberal or conservative governments. That's because democracy is merely a voting system.

    You keep spouting these ideas but you give no basis except for your opinion. Democracy is a political voting system and there are many forms of it that are independent of cultures or philosophies because it is only a voting system that demands that the people be heard. That's it..
