    Global megacorps aren't those people. You're thinking of local businesses that employ the majority of people, pay taxes and generally provide a useful service to the community. Global megacorps dodge taxes, destroy local businesses and move employment to the places where people are more easily exploited.

    These same arguments were used against Hindus and Sikhs when they first came here. The papers were full of stories of these nasty foreigners getting free everything. The Rivers of Blood speech that you righties love so much was primarily about Indian and Pakistani immigration. History just keeps repeating and while rich white men continue to dismantle all the things our grandparents fought for, useful idiots like yourself keep blaming poor brown people whose only crime is wanting a better life.

    He's going to get a nasty shock when he gets to Britain and finds out that what he read in the Daily Mail was actually bollocks. He'd be better off going to Sweden.

    How is that relevant? I've never built a car either but I have still owned some really shit ones and have said as much. WordPress is messy, insecure and is tightly coupled to one DBMS. It's quick to set up but awkward to do it right.

    It isn't in the UK otherwise David Cameron wouldn't be demanding that US companies weaken their encryption and threatening them with new laws if they don't comply. The European Convention on Human Rights isn't as strong as the US Constitution, but people still have plenty of rights and the state has to justify any violation of those rights in court.

    In a world where the reaction to a bikini poster gets more column inches than suicide being the biggest cause of death amongst young men, you don't need to be an MRA or a red piller to think it sucks. Being paid less is shit but you don't die from it.

    What? The number of brutal atrocities and other crimes from both religions is completely unacceptable. The genocide of native populations in the name of God vs the conquest of North Africa and Southern Europe, the war in Iraq that God told Bush to wage versus ISIS's brutality, the Spanish Inquisition versus 9/11. I don't see which one is the pebble.

    No I'm from the UK and we're a target too thanks to many years of stupidity. I don't have any objection to Muslims coming here but I do have major objections to interfering in their countries since that causes the cycle of violence to be never ending.

    Christ may not have advocated global conquest but it was still done in his name. How many Europeans,Jews, Native Americans, Native Australians, Africans, Persians, Chinese etc etc died in the name of a man of peace? How many atrocities were committed in the name of Jesus or God? How many Muslims died in the illegal invasion of Iraq?

    The IRA were pretty active not so long ago, and perhaps you missed two prominent Christians, one from the US and one from the UK, waging an illegal war against a country that was no threat, over weapons of mass destruction that the US and UK sold them, weapons that had long since been destroyed. How many people died in that war? You want Muslims to stop attacking us? Let's leave them the fuck alone. God knows the "let's fuck about in the Middle East" policy for the last two centuries has caused nothing but pain.

    Universal healthcare applies to everyone. A welfare state is available to anyone who needs it, and unless you're clairvoyant and know that you're going to live forever, be employed forever and never suffer any illness, why are you against a safety net that doesn't come with a copay or a three month qualification time.
