Yeah the whole gun debate is fundamentally dishonest.

It seems to me that all the constitution is used for now is negative things. Gun pricks use it to stop gun control, health insurance companies and people they've brainwashed use it to prevent affordable healthcare, and other pricks use it to defend their right to be pricks.

Not a happy time if your politics are on the right I'd imagine

The no-established church clause was because each of the 13 colonies had different state faiths, so was designed to stop sectarian conflict but is now being abused by militants to enforce state atheism in a majority Christian country.


Secular government =/= state atheism

Also, yeah we're a majority Christian nation...

...but Christianity is dying with each subsequent generation and won't be the majority religion here in a few generations.

Going back to the portion I bolded, how is America going down the path of state atheism if the GOP has become Y'all Qaeda because of its pandering to evangelicals? The Founding Fathers were 100% correct in separating church and state because like the graph I linked shows, religions can gain or lose adherents over generations, and things can become extremely messy when a state religion loses its majority status. Also, a state religion is overall unfair to those who aren't adherents of the majority religion (and the majority flavor of the religion). Even if/when atheism becomes the dominant religious position in America, I wouldn't want state atheism because it's unfair to those who choose to follow a religion. Religion should be left out of government (and Article Six and the First Amendment are good starts to that).

I do agree that the Constitution by itself is outdated, but that's why we have an amendment process (with 27 currently) ;) However, we still need future amendments for: Congressional term limits, tightening campaign financing (i.e., no possibility for Citizens United in the future), reworking the Electoral College (and moving on from FPTP), balancing the budget, and a blanket equal rights amendment.

Stop cutting police numbers, and enforce the laws we already have, and it'll be fine

Killings all over London apparently.

Postcode wars and Pensioners.

Have to say they better absolve that pensioner of any wrong doing, what sort of country arrests a 78 yr old man backed into a room by an armed burglar and does him for murder? or any crime for that matter?

It just shows how pathetic the laws are if they do press charges because this is all to do with institution completely disabling "the peasants" right to protect themselves, they can't abide any violence at all from us even if its to save our own lives because it stems from the crown trying to keep the public defenseless.

It makes me see now why Americans are so entrenched about keeping their rights of self defense, even though I disagree with guns in the public domain as we see over here its a slippery slope to being 100% defenseless.

I hope the Courts make a good example here and release him without charge.

Of course they're going to arrest someone who's just stabbed someone to death. Be realistic. The same would probably happen just about anywhere.

In this country arrest offers the suspect rights they wouldn't otherwise have, like access to a solicitor, and if nothing else you must concede that it's a bloody good idea for that bloke to have a solicitor

Arrest and charge are two different things.

If they end up charging him and he gets convicted its a fkin scandal.
