Coloured is spelt with a 'u' in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

@Roland:

The word 'racism' suggests no such thing. It is a term used to indicate discrimination based on nothing more than the colour of one's skin; how you can twist this to say that it suggests that a man cannot prove himself because of his race is beyond me.
A man can prove himself regardless of his race. He cannot prove himself based on it, but he can certainly prove himself regardless of it!

As for Ron Paul's saying that MLK and Gandhi were his heroes... anyone can say that. It is neither an indicator of truth nor even relevant if it were true - it is like those who excuse themselves of being racist by saying 'But I can't possibly be racist! I have three black friends!', as if there is some quota to fill to become a non-racist, regardless of your actual views.
As a comparison, I admire some qualities of Lenin - he was an intelligent man and determined in his actions. That, however, doesn't stop me from disliking communist revolutionaries (as communism is impractical and assumes too much of humanity and revolutionaries seek to bring about instability - and whether they win or lose it causes grievous harm to the State and to the people).
If you take this further then you can reach the point of claiming a man to be your hero but discriminating against his kind nonetheless.

I was born in 1992, so Im kinda young

I hate the EU for various reasons, chiefly its just a huge form of collectivism

I hate that were controlled by people who now not only live 300 miles away, but now 3000 miles, and were unelected in the first place. IMHO more power needs to be given to local councils.

I want Ron Paul to win the 2008 US elections.

Oh, and I want to either go into IT or politics when Im older - any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ello there, what you be doing around here parts?

Indeed, but rather than picking up 20 year old smears and loose associations (I heard Ron Paul walked past a nazi once

) you could actually check his incredibly consistent voting record.

Which smear are you referring to, out of interest?

Feigns shock and concern over comment.

On the subject of girls my 15 year old matey:

1) Be careful about talking politics with girls - it starts debates. Debates can turn into arguments. And as a man you'll never win an argument! Try the following tactics, "of course dear", "yep, you're right", and "well done, good idea"!

2) As for 'political woman'...the combination of being Welsh + fiery + fantastic brunette hair + has won awards for Debating can = crazy plate throwing Welsh dragon.

Took 4 months for the ceramic scar to leave my arm!

Sounds like you quite enjoyed the experience!!
