She is saying the beliefs of people in the west will be fatal to [us]. Sounds remarkably like the fundamentalists. They even agree on who will be the instrument of the deaths. Just to be clear, on my PC her post reads "Your assumption is 100% wrong. It will fatal to you." I have mentally inserted the [be] because I thought it was a given. Now if she meant, "your assumption is 100% wrong, the fundamentalists will kill you" why didn't she say that?

Right, apart from the context you snipped, you still seem to think that the police can only act against a foreign national in special cases. In reality, they are only _prevented_ from acting in special cases. Do you not see the difference? Do you still hold to the madness that people from other countries are immune to the laws of the country they are in? Or was that just another blip in your stream of consciousness?

Another blinding misrepresentation of reality. The "freedom" to buy what you want is always controlled by the market forces. Rationing was not a limit on the freedom to buy what you wanted (choice wise) but a control to ensure that everyone had a fair share of what was available.

And freedoms only extend as far as they do not impact on other people. Rationing was established to ensure everyone had a fair crack at the whip. Remember, even during rationing, there were still extra things people could spend their money on. The meat coupons did not force people to eat lamb or beef. The dairy coupons did not force them to drink goats milk.
