Hello there, I live in the UK I am 22 years old and a student, but I wont tell you what of (because I dont feel like it).

Just in case your wondering (which you're probably not, but I'll tell you any way) here are some things about my beliefs etc.
Relgion. I dont follow any particular religion, but I believe that all the worlds religions teach basicly the same common sense rules of morality and behaviour, like treating your fellow men with respect and dignity and loving thy neighbor etc. (its a shame more people who call themselves religious dont follow them really). I generally regard organised reigion as a divisive and destructive force in the world.
Politics. I am om the liberal/left-wing side of politics. I am a democratic socialist. I believe that it's the governments job to re-distribute wealth and ensure that everyone in society has a minimum standard of living. I'me not against Capitalism bacause it is the best means of generating wealth. But I am in favour of capitalism being strongly regulated, to keep it behaving itself.
I am also a keen Cyclist.
There I hope you found that interesting.
