Onderwerp: Re: In the US, what we call "low income" housing is government subsidized housing. Sometimes they are called housing developments or "the projects".
(V): "From what I've seen...... a big difference. Maybe just your media misrepresents your 'projects' :/ Standards tend to be better here."
If our media misrepresents anything, it usually falls on the side of favoring governmental actions and covering as best it can government misdeeds. But this is only temporary, and the media will reverse itself when the other party is in power... they always do.
As for misrepresenting low income housing, what would be the point of doing that? I can google low income housing and find information nearly identical to your social housing.
"Some people seem to think their freedom can be taken... sorry, but to me that is a big lie."
I see, so it's your belief that once you have a freedom it can never be taken away. That must feel very reassuring.
"One guy just sent a 15 page statement to the PM stating he does not stand under any acts or statutes and is therefore operating as a 'free' man of the land and bound by only common law."
We have guys like that over here too. But they tend to keep to themselves and collect weapons.
"By that law we are all equal, no one has rights above the other. He was free but made sure the government knew he knew he was free."
I see, so he wanted to remind the government of those rights in case they forgot or were tempted to ignore them.
"But you are bound to not harm, defraud or cause loss or damage to anyone or their property under common law."
That's reasonable.
"Hence the reference to common law. Inalienable rights like you state your constitution provides..."
Over here we have a president, fully supported by his party, who has been ignoring our constitutional rights from the day he stepped into office.
"but we don't need to fight and moan."
You have much more important issues to fight and moan over.
