ORIGINAL: NorthernGent And, a point of order, you are not remotely anything like approaching 'liberal in its original meaning'. Liberalism in its original meaning was certainly underpinned by the idea of sovereignty, and you would be over there like a shit off a stick were this a Republican government. You're taking back the compliment, you must be part Scotsman You're also bungling the meaning of true liberalism, we true liberals are passionate about liberty and human rights (real human rights) being shared by all human beings on the planet A girl being shot because she is passionate about achieving an education is an atrocity that should grab everyones attention, though you should be personally excused due to your condition Why you keep trying to bring Republicans into this is beyond anything logical, they have nothing to do with Malala being shot and the little straw man figure youve constructed of me supposedly supporting any government shooting a young woman for wanting an education is clearly derangement on your part Good post. You really are operating within the realm of sanity, and that is good, but perhaps unexpected, news. Anyway, now that the board understands that 'we true liberals' are 'passionate about liberty and human rights' I'm sure we'll see more of it with regard to your compatriots. Having said that, I'll never be convinced that 'true liberals' care a jot about someone being shot thousands of miles away, although I could be wrong. Dunno about you Sanity, but I read the paper in the morning and think that's interesting but by the time I've left the door I've got work on my mind, but it seems you carry this burden around with you all day, and who would have thought it? One of Bush's disciples, the man who talks about exterminating evil, these hitherto unknown evil types; could possibly be concerned with saving the world.
