I beg to differ. Unless you have some amazing insights, which you have hidden from this thread, then I suspect you really do not know how most people behave. You conflate your own limited experience with a generalised attitude across the entire world. >>I am sure just as many European politicians say this about the US as US >>politicians say similar things about Europe. >> >>You [*] are a prime example of this double standard. You try to say all >>the >>good things have been done by the US, > > I've never said that. While you may not have said the exact phrase "all the good things have been done by the US," you certainly have made that implication through out many of your posts on this thread. For example, your obsession that the US is clearing up everyone else's messes without leaving any of its own fits the critera. >> but anything remotely negative is down >>to "European Broken thinking." The fact you are blind to the double >>standard >>is massively entertaining. > > The only thing I've been discussing in this thread is about very > speicfic mess preventions. Blimey.

An interesting revisionist approach to history. Unless you really are stuck in some time loop and are talking about Pitt the Younger or some such, I can only assume you mean Thatcher here. If so, you are way off base here. Her attitude was not one which made the UK [note, the UK is a different entity than "England"] self sufficient by any means. >>> I suspect so the politicians can point at the >>> US and call us the bad people when things don't go perfectly. >> >>For whatever reason 'things' *never* seem to go that well when your lot >>are >>involved ! > > You expect the US to clean up and make things "be as they were before". > Nobody can do that. I am not sure where you get this idea from, other than the tortured logic which underpins most of your (ahem) reasoning.

A democracy does not, and never has, meant that > all people can do anything they want without punishment. That is not, and was never, implied by my post. Re-read your posts. You disagree with the rule of law and feel _your_ idea of justice and _your_ sole judgement as to the innocent or guilt of the defendant should over rule that of "judges" (and presumably juries). Look at your posts. You assume because what ever newspaper or book you read says Person X is guilty then they are guilty. If a judge or jury finds otherwise you assume _they_ are mistaken. That is not "having some way to deal with people who [commit crimes]" and it certainly is not justice. > I am noticing an attitude that believes a democracy implies > absolute freedom to do anything a person wants. Where on Earth are you noticing that? Remember most people arguing with you are *supporting* the rule of law and *you* are arguing for lynch mobs and crowd justice. > This is > what an anarchist strives for....until one of his group > burns his house down.
