The British Government are behind terrorism, and you will give up the few remaining rights you have left.

Discuss.

dont think their behind terrorism, but..... they would love more control over your mind and body than they currently have and terrorism gives them that excuse. Government is way too large and if it keeps expanding at its current rate it should eventually implode, create a black hole and suck us all in.

" Behind " , as in orchestrating , well they have had lots of practice. We don't have to look too far into the reality of British history to be aware. Divide and Conquer - or Winning Hearts and Minds , are both psychological forms of Warfare.
As far as giving up rights - Yes this is undoubtedly happening - of course a rich man has more to lose than the poor one.
At least the former has the means to enjoy.

The reason that I posted this as a discuss issue, is that I've listened to a few of our own MPs recently pretty much admit as much. I've personally never been very interested in politics, so that's a very weird, and scary thing to hear.
Plus, there's also the inquiry going on into the whole Afghanistan/Iraq war.
These are strange times. Yet noone seems to have mentioned it. Was just interested to hear people's thoughts.

Enjoy what?...it depends what you value. A recent survey on 'happiness' showed that african families with nothing are much happier than the affluent west.

To enjoy freedom of choice and movement, where one stays and what type of house you live in - what school your kids go too
What choice of cars , what type of holiday you take - and how many - the type of food you eat , entertainment - hospital everything really - freedom of choice - very much depends on your ability to buy.

Happiness is an emotion and as such is subjective, a wee bit like your requiring the definition of terrorism - from Mr. Money Man. However if you use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, certain more basic needs have to be met beforehand.
Countries in sub Saharan Africa have the highest rates of infant mortality in the world - Millions have died through hunger and curable diseases. ( Happiness ) ?

Well we had a "War on Terror", and now we're having an inquiry into why we had a "War on Terror".
Presumably the enquiry by it's very nature has come about to address concerns that all wasn't above board.

It's obviously a big story, yet I hadn't seen it covered on here. So I gave this thread a eye-catching title lol

I think I'll just agree to disagree
