If you were the minority why should the majority have no opinion on the matter and have to make their own individual effort to donate to the cause(s)? That's ridiculous. But anyway, it doesn't really matter as the money is (being) spent and I at least support it so I'm happy :).Quote:

Oh dont you, are you also an avid circus fan? - nobody I know or have ever met is an avid circus fan so would you like to tell me why they should be forced to pay by an unelected body to fund a circus despite the fact that they have no/little interest in the circus?Quote:

i like hip hop dance yeah. silent majority!? you lot spam the internet, newspapers and radio with half truths, scaremongering, social conservatism and thelike. the next time i hear 'it's pc gone mad' i'm going to scream.Quote:

In a world where children are banned from running on the playground and old women are prevented from planting flowers in their local village because of health and safety do you not clearly see how PC has gone mad?
I have. the fact is that you will never appreciate anything that cannot be measured in profit. which is very sad. you must live a very shallow and sad life.Quote:

If you want to attend hip hop or riding bikes through hoops of fire then thats fine by me just aslong as you dont expect me to pick up the bill when I could be spending my own money on myself on something I find useful/interesting to me.Quote:

That is freedom, do not preach to me about freedom. As a europhile you are one of the last people on earth who could preach about democracy and freedom to me. Freedom is to elect and make your own laws, not have them dictated to you by a foreign unelected organisation - something the people of Eastern Europe learned a very long time ago. You make it out as though freedom will only appear with the creation of a federal superstate - wrong. We had freedom until the European Union was created and decided to bypass not only national parliaments but also its own puppet parliament by using directives more and more.
