Lets not get into british politics....american politics seem to be far more interesting.

Whatever happened to childhood? We're all scared of the kids in our neighborhood; They're not small, charming and harmless, they're a violent bunch of bastard little shits and anyone who looks younger than me makes me check for my wallet, my phone and my keys, and I'm tired of being tired out. Always being on the lookout for thieving gits.

We're all wondering how we ended up so scared. We spent ten long years teaching our kids not to care and that "there's no such thing as society" anyway, and all the rich folks act surprised when all sense of community dies. But you just closed your eyes to the other side Of all the things that she did.

And it seems a little bit rich to me, the way the rich only ever talk of charity.
In times like the seventies, the broken down economy meant even the upper tier was needing some help. But as soon as things look brighter, yeah the grin gets wider and the grip gets tighter, and for every teenage tracksuit mugger. There's a guy in a suit who wouldn't lift a finger for anybody else.

You've got a generation raised on the welfare state. Enjoyed all its benefits and did just great. But as soon as they were settled as the richest of the rich, they kicked away the ladder, told the rest of us that life's a bitch. And it's no surprise that all the fuck-ups, didn't show up until the kids had grown up, but when no one ever smiles or ever helps a stranger, Is it any fucking wonder our society's in danger of collapse?

So all the kids are bastards, but don't blame them, yeah, they learn by example. blame the folks who sold the future for the highest bid. That's right, Thatcher fucked the kids.

Easy answer.
In real terms the Falkland Islands meant nothing to either side, certainly not strategically nor economically, certainly not enough to go to war over.
What the U.S failed to understand, was that this was to be a war fought in the name of honour. Probably for the last time in modern history.

Following the invasion of the Falkland Islands by Argentine forces, the U.S. tried everything within their power to solve the situation through diplomatic means, mostly based on some form of compromise.

Thatcher was having none of it and refused to be budged.

Blair, faced with the same situation now, would allow himself to be swayed by American opinion.

Welfare is slowly being reformed. I do hate politics, it frustrates/depresses me to no end. I hate Bush, ect. But they are working on welfare. And if society is going to collapse. Let it collapse. We probably will get a better one from the ashes.
