When a government does not care for it's people, it will end up like 1920's America or Nazi Germany. I do not understand what your point is here, you say a government should not care for the people, then post examples of the terrible situations that can arise if it doesn't You seem to be contradicting yourself here.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that the point of a government is to run its country, not to care for the people!

As Nesi said, the people ARE the country. If the government wants to run the country well, it needs to ensure that the people are well cared for.

Yes. Is that such a bad thing? The human race is disgusting, and some people have simply created their own mess that they expect their government to sort out.  |
I honestly hope you never achieve any position of power. What you are proposing is simply
dangerous.
Yes, this is a bad thing. Once a government starts to regard the people as the ones in the wrong, you end up with a situation as in the many fascist dictatorships of Europe during the mid 20th century. People should not be left to die just because you follow a political line that they do not agree with.

You're right, everyone wins...except us! We're an island, we should be automatically entitled to more fishing space! Can't you imagine how things were before we entered the EU? British fishermen fished, brought home food and fed families. Did the EU really need to intervene at all? 
Why are you talking about Germany and the Baltic Sea? I used it as an example. Germany is a member of the EU. Germany has fishing boundaries like the UK. Not once did I say the UK and Germany share the same sea.  |
What happened to equally sharing out a dwindling resource? I would have thought, as an environmentalist, you would support resources being shared out equally as opposed to the regular capitalist system of doing so.

Okay. And not once did I hint I was not calm, you might want to stop jumping to conclusions like that.

This just proves you do need to do a lot more research on this topic.

What, so you think I pulled the fishing example out my arse?  |
Considering your stance on the topic is very odd, since you claimed to be an environmentalist yet oppose measures to preserve wildlife (as well as not caring about human life at all), you are doing a lot more than "pulling things out of your arse".
Your views are, quite frankly, extreme. What makes your views even more alarming is that you do not sit on any one point of view; you are both an extreme environmentalist, an extreme capitalist, and an extreme libertarian. How on earth you can hold such an extreme set of (very differing) views is beyond me.
