	“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” “Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” “I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'. Ronald Reagan B.O. can kiss my keister, what this country NEEDS is another Regan, or at the very least, Stephen Colbert. Well... That's certainly a surprise... Looks innocent.

Austrailia was a penal colony though. You've kind of got the right background for it. Also, technically speaking, Guy Fawkes day is to celebrate his capture and the foiled plot. So really...

Funny- a guy who tried to blow up (parliament, wasn't it?) get's a celebration of his death, but most people don't even know what day that Hitler shot himself.... Hitler certainly outclassed Mr. Fawkes in what he did. A strange old world we live in, isn't it

Government in exile Posts: 44 Group: Battlefield Captain Member #31 Joined: Dec 26, 2008	Yes and having a day where you celebrate giving a bunch of people smallpox and nicking their turkeys isn't at all strange. And Hitler never shot himself, he died in a dance off gone bad in 1983.

The veil is thin.... I'm coming through! Posts: 223 Group: Moderator Member #5 Joined: Dec 25, 2008	Is true, I was there. He tried to pull some bad-arse breakdancing moves and- it wasn't pretty. As for calling Guy a terrorist... Is that just what we call anyone who blows things up now? Should I ring up my local demolitions company and call them terrorists? A terrorist is someone who acts to create mass terror. Be it with bombs, shootings, biological warfare or driving a stolen tank through a parade... Guy Fawkes was an attempted Theo-political assassin. There's a difference. He wasn't trying to scare the Protestants, he was trying to kill the king (who was Protestant) and the largely Protestant government because he was Catholic and the Catholics were being oppressed at the time. I tell ya, if a Catholic tried to blow up an Islamic government, people wouldn't call him a terrorist. The US government and military have been doing that for years.

Resident Shirtless Bishonen Posts: 86 Group: Premium Member Member #28 Joined: Dec 26, 2008	And you don't think the death of the king and destruction of parliment would creat mass terror and caos in the streets? I'd like to know what laid back planet you'r from... Austrailia doesn't count by the way.

However, this topic is getting off track. This is about news and not a debate. Therefore, if you wish to further discuss the technical classification of his actions, or even how to refer to him, please take it to the debating forum. And, back to the celebrations struts like the fox he is, twirling sparklers
	Fox: If I was asked to describe my perfect day, i'd just say 'Brianna'. says: whats to say im not an idiot now Bri: I love you, Gavin says: o.o The lack of penguins. Fox: If I was asked to describe my perfect day, i'd just say 'Brianna'. says: so to be an idiot, you must have penguins Fox: If I was asked to describe my perfect day, i'd just say 'Brianna'. says: ? Bri: I love you, Gavin says: >> Bri: I love you, Gavin says: << Bri: I love you, Gavin says: Yes. --- Bri: To you, I pledge my eternal soul says: You are the.. genuinly good nature show on my public broadcasting line up.

It's my opinion Wild, you don't have to share it In my opinion, they could have just slipped in and poisoned the guy's salt, but they chose to blow up a building full of people. Again, you don't have to share this opinion

It's just our perspective at the moment.
