I found these the most interesting:

15. Where a person's periods of coverage under the laws of a part of the United Kingdom total less than one qualifying year, or one reckonable year, these periods shall be aggregated as if they had all been completed under the laws of any part of the territory of the United Kingdom under which a sickness benefit or an invalidity benefit is payable or would be payable if the periods were aggregated, or, where two such benefits are or would be payable, under the laws of that part which, at the date on which entitlement first arose or arises, is paying or would pay the greater amount. Where the aggregate of the periods of coverage is less than one qualifying year, or one reckonable year, this Article shall not apply.

     16. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, a person in the territory of the United States who is subject to the laws on coverage of the United Kingdom by virtue of any of the Articles 4 to 6 of this Agreement and who satisfies the contribution conditions applicable to sickness benefit under those laws shall, for the purpose of determining his entitlement to invalidity benefit under those laws:

      (a) be treated as if he were in the territory of the United Kingdom; and

      (b) each day of incapacity for work while in the territory of the United States may, where appropriate, be treated as if it were a day for which he had received sickness benefit under the laws of the United Kingdom.

     17. Any restriction which would otherwise be applicable under the laws of the United Kingdom in the rate of benefit payable to persons who are not ordinarily resident in the territory of the United Kingdom shall not apply to persons in the territory of the United States who are in receipt of invalidity benefit under the laws of the United Kingdom by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement.".

The main issue you should be concerned about is: Why is the government in an agreement over Social Security with the UK, that the Crown can change as it sees fit? Did you know about this beforehand? Is it something you feel you should've known?

The most important and best known study on obedience to authority was carried out by Stanely Milgram at Yale University in the early 1960's. His work can be found in the Journal of Abnormal and Social psychology, 67, 371-378 (1963) and in a book authored by him "Obedience to Authority" published by Harper and Row (1974)...

...When a human being was replaced with a puppy in a Milgram type experiment in which actual electricity was used because you can't make a puppy yelp and howl without pain. Only 54 per cent of male participants would administer a genuine electric shock to the puppy. But 100 per cent of the female participants were prepared to give the most severe shock to the howling and yelping puppy.

Well, all those silly Illuminati followers seem to say it is Satanic.

I wonder where they get that from

He is a Christian besides Satanism a term with no real depth in it.

Jarmo needs to make him a title like he did with me and others, rather than that silly custom one.

How about this: the US ranks near the bottom in most every important category except military expenditures:
education, health care, poverty, crime, knowledge about geography, etc. Thank you Mr. Bush.

I am more than willing to objectively read things that have an honest to goodness source but these days, any nutball can sign onto the net and make webpages for you to find with their own version of truth.
