Originally posted by stokerThere is really no connection except that both our (US) and yours were formed to fight internal assaults.
its coming just woundered if our lost colonies feel they are better for it or is it just another nice building.
We were never quite convinced that a single set of rules were sufficient to solve the "threat from the outside" and the "threat from within".
The threat from within was anti-mob at first. Organized crime, dope and murder for hire. Then anti-espionage became the cause after WW2.
The internal threat to the UK is what? I don't know. I don't live there. But you have to judge the need against the threat. Is an intelligence ability to fight internal threat justified by the attack on your society?
You must CHOOSE.
Terrible word, that.

It's pure big brother control lunacy.
The british dont have an internal threat from terrorists. They used to have that with the IRA, since the IRA ceasefire there hasn't been any need for an "FBI". Even during the troubles there was an anti-terrorism branch dedicated to hunting down terrorists...and look at how "successful" they were.
If the recent prevention of an attack on heathrow is genuine, then it demonstrates we dont need an "FBI". If it's not, then it demonstrates just how repetitive history can be.
You'd think it would take at least one earthling lifetime for you to forget that kind of stupidity...
MÅ¥HÅRM
PS. IF this stupidity continues, then yes, it will create the problem it's suppposedly dealing with.

Although I am sure it is just a matter of time.

Eurabia. Europe has a muslim threat brewing.
The more you call the rise of a sub-culture (as in not the main-stay culture of a country) a threat, the more they are going to band together.
The more a sub-culture bands together, the more paranoid they get.
The more you threaten a sub-culture, the more scared they will become.
And scared and paranoid (are they paranoid though...if everybody is singling out that specific sub-culture?) somebody is, the less rational they will behave.
You will notice that what goes for sub-cultures goes exactly for main-stay cultures as well.
What your comment serves to do is polarize a situation. On the one hand you are singling out moslims, making them scared and paranoid and on the other hand scaring the main-Stay European culture(s), which leads to both sides being scared and increasingly paranoid.
Now, if we look at the US, we can see frightened and very paranoid people. Look how rational and constructive they've tackled the problem (and more importantly, the cause of the problem). See. Irrationality never serves a good purpose.
That's why I don't like your comment.
It's generalizing, it's supposed to scare people (which is never productive) and it will not lead to a constructive solution to the frustrations within society.
You sound scared. Sit back and relax. Take your hat off, sit back in your rocking chair and smoke a cigar.
Relaxed? Right. Let's see what we can do:
Do you understand culture? Cultural shifts?
Well, that will be the first lesson for today. Go and visit someone who's 70 or 80 years old and ask them what's different today compared to how things were sixty years ago.
Write down the answers and let me know when you've got them.
