| Topic | Is the C word not as taboo in the U.K. as it is in America? |
| spaghettyhoop 02/19/18 5:47:43 AM #27 | byrone posted... You can't say it on TV in the UK. I've heard it said on American TV Thats not true. You can say it on U.K. tv. Its used in the U.K. loads, but rarely in the same context as America. Its more of a generic insult, rather than meaning a body part. --- Xbox live - spaghettyhoop Nintendo ID - Spaghettyhoop |

He only let the vote go ahead as he assumed leave would win. He also ran an extremely poor campaign and did nothing to combat the flat out lies of the Brexit campaign. It was a massive own goal that should never have happened, but did directly as a consequence of Camerons actions (or lack of) --- Xbox live - spaghettyhoop Nintendo ID - Spaghettyhoop |

| spaghettyhoop 02/05/18 3:04:11 PM #46 | BLAKUboy posted... spaghettyhoop posted...I dont understand why anyone who works would be against full paid leave and sick pay So generally, in America the political parties are so against each other they would rather screw over the average american than support the opposite parties policies? Its utterly mental when you think about it. In the UK the two lead parties don't get on, but they at least try not to screw over the public due to their rivalry. --- Xbox live - spaghettyhoop Nintendo ID - Spaghettyhoop |

But fair enough if its always been like that. What about statutory sick pay? Like if you are off sick for say 4 weeks with a broken leg and unable to work, do any benefits/welfare systems support you until you go back to work? --- Xbox live - spaghettyhoop Nintendo ID - Spaghettyhoop |

| spaghettyhoop 01/11/18 4:30:23 PM #27 | The been illegal to drink at 16 doesnt make sense, since they werent on a licensed premises. In the U.K. its legal for anyone 5 or older to drink alcohol at home (yes you read that right). Infact its legal for a 16 or 17 year old to drink in licensed premises if its bought with a meal. Its more likely they were drunk on the night, and in the morning simply all panicked and didnt know what to do. --- Xbox live - spaghettyhoop Steam - Spaghettyhoop |

| spaghettyhoop 11/29/17 8:28:47 AM #23 | Britain first are basically a much hated racist group in the U.K. Nobody takes them seriously and they constantly share and post stuff that is inflammatory and often isnt true or totally out of context A lot of their members believe in white supremacy. Its no different to trump retweeting the KKK or the Westboro Baptist church. Shocking. --- Xbox live - spaghettyhoop Steam - Spaghettyhoop |

| Topic | When will we get guns under control in this country? |
| spaghettyhoop 10/02/17 10:07:47 AM #43 | I don't understand why Americans seem so certain gun control won't work, when it has worked in many other countries. In England dunblaine happened in 1996. So gun control was introduced and most ownership banned. Since then there has been one single mass shooting since and it was done by a guy who legally owned the guns. If the argument "criminals who do this thing will always find a way" was true, wouldn't there be more mass shootings in other countries? I'm not here to argue the case one way or the other, I just find people's outright dismissal of it and not even the willingness to consider pros and cons, outright bizzare. --- Xbox live - spaghettyhoop Steam - Spaghettyhoop |
