Perhaps not. But then perhaps reading could be called "hardly rocket science", but yet you've failed to read my post. Your point is firstly not relevant to my post whatsoever. If you read what I said: "The legality of such weapons doesn't seem to have a lot of effect on this sort of...

Calling for the banning of guns really is relevant in this situation. This is a terribly sad event, obviously. But the point here is about the "gun culture" in the US, and this is in part due to their Constitutional Right to own a gun. The legality of such weapons doesn't seem to have a lot of...

It is worth remembering however that some immigrants, perhaps even the majority, do contribute to our economy postiviely, in that they pay their taxes, and are generally positive to our society. The problem, as always, is dealing with those who are not are not a positive influence to our society...

Modern music? What do you call Radiohead then?

Not at the time, it was exceptionally important to avoid a war, and establish trade links after the Second World War. I still think it is worth being in the EU, but we need to consider what sort of part we should play in it. Such laws would be impossible to enforce, and would harm our economy...

Oh right, I thought that you'd know what I was talking about: Here is the information you seek: http://www.workpermit.com/australia/skilled.htm

This is a guess: Is it Axl Rose? I seem to recall that his name is W. Axl Rose. I may be wrong here.

There is no evidence that the system would be bureaucratic. You might want it to be more bureaucratic as you don't like the idea - but that doesn't mean it will be. It would simply replace the failing system we have now. It does not have to be more or less bureaucratic than that system; it...

Please quote me on this. If you can't then I expect a retraction of that remark. But I am pretty sure it is not like the one that Australia empolys. True, but it is a reasonable assumption nonetheless.

And I suppose "the truth" therefore, only comes out when you get free newspapers? Well, actually, I very much doubt that.

Not necessarily; I would like to see a points system introduced, like the one in Australia. It would help bring in more qualified people, but there would still be room for others who don't have qualifications, or have few qualifications. Obviously exceptions would be made for those suffering...

Do pillows have infinite more coverage than taxes, which kills no one? More importantly, should they?

In what way is this an argument for or against immigration. I am arguing that we don't want more people who would do this - not that our own population don't do it. There isn't? Someone tell that to Austrailia, and indeed most other European countries. A lot of them have a tighter...

This wasn't my argument at all. First of all - I accept we need some immigration. What I am saying is that some immigrants are not going to help us support more pensioners. What do we do about those immigrants? Your argument is actually a good one to be used for putting immigration limits in...

Have you read the papers recently? There is loads on obesity; it's a pretty constant topic of discussion.
