Empty, directionless hate is. But it's like love; you can harness it and it gives you energy.

hating is just a waste of valuable energy, that could be used for other things, such as lifting a cup of tea to your mouth or scratching your ass.

Yes thats right. Poor Tory Councils. Its not their fault, its that big nasty old Labour's fault. It really is wrong of them to invest in public services, with more nurses, doctors and police than in 1997.

Its air and drinking water as well.

Every opposition party since the dawn of time has said it would cut the red tape. But oh so few actually have done it.

And only the most ardent anti-labour person would just cast it off, because they know better.

If not society, who? I mean, since Noah was on his cruise there has been crime. Many many Governments have come and gone in that time, and yet crime remains.

So is it both societies fault and the Government?

You were blaming central Government for crime. I was stating that in countries with no Government, there is still crime. Ergo, the Government isn't the main cause of crime.

I'm not saying they can't remove it, i'm just saying that councils put council tax up. All the Government does is give them money. That amount has been upped as of late.

But isn't the average tax ries now about 6. something %? Thats about the going rate.

Well...I'd agree with you except for two things;
1. This thread helps identify people with no sense of irony, and racist smears of cocklard.
2. The Who Do You Hate Most...well, I'm a great believer in venting rather than bottling things up. It gives a chance to do that. Besides, to get all metaphysical for a moment, you can't really be capable of love unless you know how to hate.

Naturally. But only when I'm not supporting paedophilia and baby seal clubbing.
Amazingly, the one time I was in Switzerland was on the eve of a referendum about chucking all dirty foreigners out of the country. Evil immigrants and their supporters held a street party opposing it and it was the only place you could get a drink in all of Geneva. The Swiss mentality: throw out anyone who wants to have fun.
