Well my dad brought this up to a few other people on holiday because we had to go tunisia on the cruise, but we had to have our knees covered there or you would be arrested, whereas if a tunisian went to britain they could do whatever they like. THe other people agreed and said its stupid.
My dad also spoke how a muslim or something would have a kid in britain and punish the kid for acting british and wearing british clothes and not clothes of their culture.
What do you all think of this, i agree with me dad on it and think it isnt right. (please dont be annoyed or anythin, andi aint good on writing debate things sorry)

Singapore is one of the nicest, cleanest countries I have ever been to. They recently repealled the law against chewing gum, because of public uproar... You also cant litter there $5000 fine for littering, not flushing a public toilet is $2000 fine.

I personally think that the US's laws on firearms are absolutely APPAULING. Note that Australia hardly has any murders happen at all, maybe because of our laws on gun ownership? Our laws are much stricter, and me don't have driveby's happening every week, and gangs off shooting their guns everywhere.
I know this is pretty restricted, as I cannot see what happens in the US, and vice versa, but I think the US should crack down on gun ownership and possesion in the streets.
