@LenHazell53 Sounds like it but how can a minority have so much influence unless it is because a majority are apathetic ?
The UK,Australia and New Zealnd each had a mass shooting and the gun ownership laws were drastically changed.
If the majority in the USA felt the same way why not do the same ?.

@Charles7600 The USA gets itself into a position where it controls world trade and uses this position to discipline other countries who they consider are not behaving in an appropriate manner. They then get upset when those countries kick back.
Are the people in charge in Washington.Brussels and London really mature enough to be controlling millions of lives ??

@Marionville Yes I am aware of that, but I'm sure the Iranians couldn't care less about EU sanctions. Assad is a nasty bastard but he is the elected president of Syria fighting a bunch of rebels some backed by the USA. The EU are probably just following orders from Washington. Lots of double standards here.

Life must have been really hard for the people after they gave up the hunter gatherer lifestyle to be agriculturalists and somewhere in the distant memory was this much easier lifestyle. Couldn't this be the garden of Eden they were evicted from.
The best explanation of the Cain and Abel story was fromauthor Daniel Quinn. Cain depicted the farmers who grew crops and Abel depicts the nomadic herdsmen and the story is about the conflict between them.

Peterson thinks we got our ethics from our Judeo-Christian heritage.

This "cannot have morality without god" nonsense really annoys me. the mayhem created around the world in the name those gods is immeasurable. The two most moral religions in the world are Buddhism and Jainism , both without gods.

@skado I would prefer no religion but if we must choose then there are branches of Christianity and Islam but Jainsm and Buddhism because of their pacifist nature.

I don't know where you found that video but it's one of the funniest I have seen. To compare the EU with the old Soviet Union is ridiculous.
If it is a choice between being the 51st state of the USA or a major partner in the EU, there is no contest.

@PBuck0145 Of course none of that is true. As I said the next prime minister is to be chosen by a secret ballot of 160,000 tory party members.
As for e election of the presidents of the top European posts, tis is it in an nutshell :-The Presidents of each institution are chosen in a slightly different way;
The President of the European Parliament is elected from among MEPs every 2.5 years.[1]
The President of the European Council is elected by the leaders in the Council every 2.5 years.[1]
The President of the European Commission is officially appointed by the European Council, taking into account the latest Parliament elections and with Parliament's approval.[1] However, a stronger direct link between elections and the President is emerging.[10]
The Presidency of the Council of the European Union rotates automatically between the governments of each member state.[1]

@PontifexMarximus I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Yes the Act of Settlement denies RCs access to the crown. This was also before the union of the crowns so it could be argued that it has no jurisdiction.in Scotland and despite the fact the NI has some of the most vociferous unionists around the province is just a relic of the British Empire and should really be part of. The Republic of Ireland.
The point I was making is that the fact that the queen is head of the church of England has no bearing on whether the UK is a secular stae or not because church and state are totally seperate.and the author makes the common mistake of thinking that England is the UK
