Thread Name: BS: Should foxhunting be banned?
Subject: RE: BS: Should foxhunting be banned?
Democracy does not entitle anyone to make key decisions on matters about which they have an inadequate understanding. Bang go referendums, elections and the voting rights of all tabloid readers.Sorry, your sentence is nonsense. What you mean is no one has a right to make key decisions on what you think they have an inadequate understanding about. I think the British people have a very adequate understanding that hunting is a barbaric evil and they have voted for its banning.They voted for Thatcher for years and I had to put up with it. That's what we call democracy and its what you're stuck with in this case.
