Most British people are so apathetic and stupid that they have not noticed that most of their rights have already been taken away.
Britain no longer controls its borders, its legal system, its agriculture and fisheries. In two years time a bill will be passed that will end centuries of autonomous nationhood. England will only be a region of Europe.
So go back to more important issues, like how is Phil managing in the Queen Vic these days?

Yes, we all should. We all have that right regardless of the cause and we should exercise it. What if the civil rights movement did not take place? What if the north did not stand up to the south? What if women where still not allowed to vote. What if the hippies did not protest Vietnam? What if the colonists did not stand up to King George?
The question is what exactly are rights as opposed to privileges. US citizens have the privilege to vote but you have to be a US citizen to have the right to vote. Today I voted as is my right and privilege. I hope you did too.

Think of it this way.
If you take a Frog, put it in a pot of cool water and slowly turn up the heat till the water reaches boiling, the Frog will die.
Take a Frog, drop it in a pot of boiling water and the Frog will jump out.
Our rights HAVE been taken away. In such tiny increments so as to be barely noticeable.

They are being taken away, and yes I do stand up and not by voting or any of that other fictitious crap. I physically stand up for my rights with whatever tools I deem necessary. I refuse to let these punks tell me how to live. This is my life, not some rich politicians!

Depends, am I a felon going to prison or just some poor schmo in a 3rd world country under a dictator?

Yes, however I am the type to fight only if it is something I feel very strongly about, if it is something I feel is not worth the effort than maybe not. But, for the most part yes, you should never let anyone infringe upon your rights.

Remember the Boston Tea party?
This Country was founded on preserving our rights.
