Question about private islands

Um...I didn't say "equal"...although that is in our constitution. I said he's not my "better"...and he's not. Money and power don't necessarily make one "better". Those who think it does, are disillusioned. Are you a brit, Conan? I'm married to one, and am happy to say that not all share your attitude on us Americans (since he happens to be pretty hot for this one). But, of course, I'm sure you meant that very tongue-in-cheek, right?

You must be kidding?

I mean't it to sound tongue-in-cheek, if that helps you.

However, if everyone really was equal, everyone would have the same amount of money. The ability to acquire money and power is proof of superior breeding.

I thought it was you Yanks who asked the world to send our poor to you?

The so called "wild west" was safer than it was in most major cities back east at the time. And much safer than it is in most major cities of today. But I guess you prefer your history from movies and penny dreadfuls.

Not for a long time now.

Well Unless they are from Mexico.

But officially they arent allowed.

Even though they do make up the largest block of farm workers in the western US.

Or of a Con-Man.

Hey, there are parts of the world where it is perfectly acceptable for two straight guys hold hands while walking... Having another guy grab your hand while walking is one of those self discovery moments that is hard to forget.

.d

Same thing. The ability to defraud someone demonstrates you must be cleverer than them.

Hey, anyone can STEAL a gun, right? Poor people deserve weapons, too. If they don't want to steal, THEN they can move to Britain. How's that?

Well so long as your only sending us the honest people that suck, that's okay.

I heard your welfare system needs a few more people.

Chris didn't watch ebough westerns when he was a kid. I love westerns! They're so Manichean.

Just what we need, yeah. I mean, we only spend more on welfare than the US does on it's navy, so it's not like we don't have the money to spare or anything.

Perhaps...or luckier...or psychotic-er (hey...if cleverer is a word, so is psychoticer)

Naturally being psychotic alone, without being clever, will of course enable you to fool people. Goes without saying.

Note the sarcasm.

No he is actually right

Chances of being the victim of violence in the very loosely governed "Wild west" were very small.

Unless someone were of American Indian ancestry. Plenty of government showed up to make sure they got their share of violence sadly.

Where? No, really, where?

Don't tell him! He might abuse the privilege.

Anarchy is fine when there are few people and lots of space. Most people are basically decent, which helps. It's just when people get together it goes wrong.

And I'm an anarchist. A disillusioned one, but an anarchist.

The Middle East. It's perfectly normal for men to hold hands in public there.

And to the Wild West thing: Put it this way. If you stole a horse and got caught, you got hanged. End of story. Would make you think twice about thieving, yeah? Sort of like Saudi Arabia. Get caught stealing, you lose your hand. Not so many thieves in Saudi.

You don't want to hold hands in a Liverpool chippy and order fried rice and chips, with gravy, onion gravy?

Touching another guy? Euw!

Yes, but they punish women for being raped in the Middle East. So f**ck men being able to hold hands.

I've always considered the Arabs to be degenerate barbarians, but when you put it like that they start to look like they might have some good ideas.


I'm only in favour of anarchy if it means I can use violence and fear to get what I want.
