ok consider this..
A policeman who doesnt agree with the laws given to him can CHOOSE NOT to carry out his assigned duty, he/she has a minor power granted there.
A soldier refusing to carry out orders would have been shot.. theres quite a different price on disobedience there. in this kind of situation your body will start to goto survival mode and crushing a few skulls to save your own wont seem so bad. the people at the bottom end were manippulated with an iron hand. you cant say the same for our bobbies.
Adolf hitler, leader of the 3rd Reich, made certain people's lives hell because of their religion/race/political/sexual orientation.
Tony Blair, leader of the labour party wants to impose ASBO's on children of parents with bad backgrounds, basically people who dont 'fit' into his idea of a perfect world as far as anyone knows.
Now i'm pretty damn sure that NO-ONE has the right to punish innocent people. not hitler, not blair. I will let people make their own comparisons but i feel like the western world has become the thing it hated the most 60 years ago, and it certainly seems like we're going that way. Thankfully, since Blair was making these plans i've heard squat else about them, so lets hope he's had a bollocking from the relevant people and he's been re-educated, but the news caused such an outcry i wouldnt be surprised if they're working on phasing that one in gradually too, so we dont notice.
this rant may be poorly made out, no time to check it, i have to go out again now
I will return
