I take issue with this. How about...let's pass a law whereby if somebody irritates you, you can bludgeon them to death. Another law which allows the government to pick dodgy looking people off the street and jail them without trial under the pretense of 'protecting citizens from dodgy people'.

The law is there for a purpose, whether we agree with it or not. So let's just sit back and allow these things to happen, yes?

Take issue with it all you like, that's my stance on the matter and it happens to be the stance of the Law by which this country is governed by.

If you don't like it so much are so abhorrent to having to comply with the Law within this country: you're free to exit via any airport, ferry port - you also have the option of train now too.

We shouldn't have to.

I want to stay because I actually like my country and actually want it to sort itself out, im no coward that runs away from stuff when it gets even slightly dangerous.

It has nothing to do with cowardice. You have to accept that there are things that are not in your power to change - that your say or your 'wants' are not to the benefit of the country.

But im not the only one wanting this as you can clearly see in this thread.

And how will allowing freedom of choice actually affect the country? im sorry Pyramid but unless you give me an explaination that's good then I can't accept this law.

Right, I just need a second to comprehend this. Because I'm gathering here that by virtue of you not responding to any of the points I made, you are actively sitting there saying that you would be happy to sit back and allow potentially innocent citizens going about their daily life to be jailed without trial because the state says 'they look dodgy', and for you to be able to bludgeon someone to death because they irritate you, all because that is 'the law by which this country is governed by'?

If I've got this right, you have hit a new low Pyramid...even by your standards this is something else. Hey, why not go the whole hog and turn the UK into a totalitarian, fascist run state while we're at it. After all...that'd be the law...no big deal.

Exactly Jack we should just stand by and let it happen, it's quite ridiculous really I think.

If you and Jack and others feel it is so ridiculous: what are your intentions then?

What are you going to do to change the Law?

Vote for a party that is actually up to date with the modern people and actually want the law done properly, sadly I haven't found that party yet and as im still underage I can't vote yet anyway.

Which includes the very thing that you are complaining about !

There is no such Party that can offer that - you cannot please all of the people all of the time and the majority vote rules.

You can be sure that as far as the Law is concerned: there won't be much change in this particular remit, not anytime soon, even long after you are entitled to vote.
