And this is why so few people post here. What kind of person asks such questions, especially in a thread they've just started purely to attack someone? Are you retarded? Do you go into pre-teen chat rooms and demand personal details from all the little kids? Hey, maybe you think that they should answer fully and honestly!
Maybe he needs baby steps. What career field do you see yourself in when you finally achieve minimum educational qualifications?
No, you haven't, and the fact that it's not written in a single text has been pointed out to you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_Kingdom Stop. Lying.
You think I'm the funny one? A constitution isn't a document. This. Is. What. You. Are. Too. Stupid. To. Grasp. If you won't believe me, maybe you'll at least believe the kind of links you rely on Where does it say it is, and only ever can be, a written constitution? Clue: it doesn't. And... http://www.bl.uk/magna-carta/articles/britains-unwritten-constitution My comment that you quoted above is spot on. You're a demonstrable liar, full stop. Now answer Faceman's question.
You're not getting it. I don't even know what country you live in. I can only guess your age as between 20 and 80. I can sort of guess your gender, with a chance of being completely wrong. I have no idea if you're married. I've never even wondered if you've been married. I can't imagine a reason why that question would even pop into my head. You are people with anonymous names who post on one of the many tens of thousands of forums on the Internet. We say things, and respond to each other's posts. I try to keep things here funny and entertaining, sometimes with a political edginess and sometimes not. Do I care about people's personal details, unless they need some comfort or support? No, I don't. I care about the words they put on the screen. Do I have any desire to find flaws or ruin their lives? No, I don't. That's what crazy obsessive people do.
Quite simply he's so incredibly stupid he can't grasp the concept that the the word constitution doesn't refer to a single document. For me, that's astonishing. Then he gets the proof that he's talking shit and says he's somehow "won".
I understand. You're uneducated and unemployed but are hopeful for a future that doesn't include government handouts.
Who is trying to ruin your life? What do you have to be embarrassed about? Nobody wants a full biography. You were just asked a couple of simple questions. What is there to hide?
Maybe he's thinking of coming to Europe for our welfare, that's why he hates the refugees. He's worried they'll get the cash before him.
DING DING DING! Another winner! That is what you call a LIE. To an American, raised with a real Constitution, as opposed to a theoretical one, the object is a document that we can drag into court - physically. We can site sections and clauses that are all numbered. We can discuss the people who wrote it and the people who signed it. It's a written contract, of which copies were made and distributed. Now certainly you could call a set of principles and miscellaneous documents in the UK a "constitution" because the basic functionality is similar. Or one day they might decide to write down all the unwritten rules, add them to the various written rules, and call it "The UK Constitution" and make everyone in Parliament sign it, along with the Queen. To you, such a viewpoint is "A LIE"! And that's the BEST example you have for me of a LIE. Thus all the people who wandered through the KKK thread saying "Folks, the examples you keep giving aren't lies." I suppose if I posted something like "Jessica Alba is prettier than Charlize Theron" you'd say "YOU LIE! YOU'RE A LYING LIAR WHO LIES!"
Gee. Now what could your possible motive be for asking such a question? Hrm.... Suppose you were setting in a police "interview" room with a one way mirror and the guy in a bad plaid suit chomping on a cigar said "You were just asked a couple of simple questions. What is there to hide?" Ah, such an honest query! Do you people even possess any self-awareness?
Okay. But it's worth considering that your refusal to deny you are a welfare claimant, combined with your erratic sleeping hours, lack of social life and copious posting, speaks volumes. With that in mind, as a welfare claimant don't you think it's hypocritical of your to rail against immigrants for allegedly migrating for welfare?
From the British Library, top Google search result, very top of the page - ie. the number one answer of the number one answers. Unlike most modern states, Britain does not have a codified constitution but an unwritten one formed of Acts of Parliament, court judgments and conventions. Professor Robert Blackburn explains this system, including Magna Carta’s place within it, and asks whether the UK should now have a written constitution. The British Library, which I trust would know about such things, said "Britain does not have a codified constitution." Now according to you, holding the view that they don't IS TO LIE. And this is the best example you've provided, both in this and in the prior epic disaster of a thread. Gee, why would some people wander through and see that it's a matter of opinion and semantics and that even the British Library says the UK doesn't have a codified constitution. Why might people from most other countries, that have written constitutions, be of the considered opinion that the UK doesn't? Why might a British Professor ask whether the UK should write a constitution if it's all just a big lie that they don't?
We do. For you to insist that it isn't that is deliberate dishonesty. We call this lying. And no, it's not the best example. It's just the one that came up here. If I was to recall your biggest whoppers, it'd be some of those in this thread, specifically: When the British conducted terror bombing in WW2 didn't want to kill anyone. Amnesty didn't say anything about Palestinian human rights abuses in their annual report (they did). Israel has inflicted fewer casualties than its adversaries in the Israeli-Arab conflict, because when counting the latter, you need to count those from the Syrian civil war.
Another lie, since the dispute is not about a "codified constitution", which everyone agrees that they don't have. In fact, this quote specifically supports what others are pointing out to you, that the constitution consists of many documents and conventions. Stop. Lying.
Are you fucking stupid or what? You're linking one of the links in my post above. This is truly astonishing. A codified constitution is only one type of constitution. Absolute and utter moron. The other types are explicitly written ones like you have in the US and unwritten ones such as the UK's. The very quote you put up confirms what I am saying, and contradicts your original position that the UK has no constitution. This is yet another example of you moving the goalposts and your typical wriggling. You've made a mockery of all your bellyaching about people proving their arguments because you've shown with this very post that you haven't read half of what I have posted. You have therefore proven that you are more interested in propagating ever more ridiculous lies rather than admit you're wrong. This makes you an impossible person to debate with, and you are not interested in an honest debate. This, in turn, is why you have no credibility and are now derided as a compulsive liar.
I'll ask again. As a welfare claimant don't you think it's hypocritical of you to rail against immigrants for allegedly migrating for welfare?
You've done a stellar job in this thread convincing everyone you don't have a personality disorder, gturner.
Well, let's have a look at everything I said on that page. ***** I'm reminded of a story I read sometime after 9/11 about a Japanese diplomat who was flying home from Saudi Arabia. j It's been a while so this is a very loose paraphrasing. An Arab businessman, worried about all the chaos going on with Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries asked the Japanese how his country managed to go from feudalism (or some such) to becoming a key component of the West while retaining their unique culture, as if the Japanese knew some secret way that has eluded the Arab countries. The diplomat replied "We didn't. We had to throw away most of our culture and invent a new one." Some American Muslims are doing the same, becoming fanatical about SEC football instead of Jewish conspiracies and fundamentalist Islam, but unlike the Japanese, there's always that horrible book filled with horrible things to draw their children back into it. ***** Ouch. What a horrible thing!
So how many uncodified types of constitutions are there, and how do you tell them apart when you don't know what's in them because they're not written down? How do you take someone to court to enforce an uncodified provision? Most countries on Earth have written constitutions. You can print them out. You can mail them to people. After such common usage, most people think of a constitution as a written document. You're essentially arguing that a verbal contract is just as good in a realm where everyone relies on written contracts for the extremely complex task of laying out how a nation will be governed. You insist that to believe otherwise is a LIE. And that's the best example of a LIE that you have, because if you had a better one you'd be screaming about it instead of the semantics of what constitutes and constitution when even the British Library says you don't have a codified one.
You dumb fuck. What makes up our constitution? Primarily Acts of Parliament, Statutory Instruments and Case Law - that that's what we refer to in court. Read and learn you utterly stupid bastard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncodified_constitution You're wriggling and changing the goal posts yet again. Your original position was that the UK had no constitution. Now that you have been comprehensively shown to be wrong, your position has conveniently changed to "how most people think of a constitution". What an utterly disingenuous way to behave in a debate when it's you bellyaching that nobody ever proves you wrong. Just stop the lying. Please.
Sorry, but to me and probably 90 percent of Americans, that's not what "constitution" means. That's more like "habit and precedent." You're just muddling through because you've always muddled through.
Well, let's see if we can find an example of a UK court ruling a law unconstitutional, shall we? This looks relevant: The Conversation In first case of its kind, UK high court rules surveillance law unconstitutional Aha! So the UK does have a constitution!!! Reading on: In a 44-page ruling, Lord Justice David Bean and Mr Justice Andrew Collins criticised the lack of clarity and detail in spelling out the terms and conditions under which communications data can be intercepted by police and intelligence agencies, declaring the act “incompatible with the British public’s right to respect for private life and communications and to protection of personal data under Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights”. Well crap. Apparently their constitution is the EU charter.
