dont be morons with this.

over the past few years ive gotten into politics pretty heavily because im tired of the way shit is run. for those of you in the states, the last 8 years have been very damaging in terms of the publics trust in the government. this upcoming election is being billed as the most important since world war II, and i think its important that everybody is educating themselves as to whats going on, even if you dont fit the democrat or republican mold. personally i would label myself as middle-to-far left wing, but i dont really dig on any of the candidates thus far. if i was forced to pick id take obama over hillary and mccain. you guys?

Well, I voted Rudd but that's probably only because I've seen John Howard for ages and I wanted a change, if Howard gave leadership to Costello before the election I probably would have voted liberal. Then again, it would seem that image is the only thing that changes when a new government comes to power in Australia - Kinda boring really. The only thing I'm really worried about that has anything to do with politics is the economy and the recession that will occur after the boom, nobody can really help this though, I just don't want to live in poverty...

Edit: Oh yeah, another consequence of voting in the Labor Government was them apologising to the coons on my behalf. Again this is just really an image thing cas saying sorry won't change them, but it is the principle of the matter.

"the last 8 years have been very damaging in terms of the publics trust in the government".

True statement.

I haven't ever, and will not ever vote. I personally just don't want to end up voting for and electing another frivolous cretin in to office. I guess it is ultimately a trust issue for me. Anyone can lie to another person, but, think of the kind of person that it takes to stand up in front of an entire country and lie. Those are the tiny snakes in the grass that pack a deadly bite. I would feel personally responsible if I voted for the wrong person. But, i respect everyones decision, we all have our own views...All we can really do is hope that the next president does good for our country...Essentially we can just hope that the next president does the job they are given correctly and intelligently.

"We need to get outta this war and stop being so damn greedy. If we keep this up we'll defeat ourselves"
Isn't that how all of the greatest nations/rulers ultimately fell?

tho im not so hot on clinton.. like she's a true politician and she even voted fro the war. i would be thrilled to see her in as opposed to maccain or someone but like i said.. shes had too many years as a politician and i think she's a little too willing to jump on the bandwagon. obama on the other hand just finished his 1st term in congress. he's young, and he's inexperienced as a politician. this pretty much means what he says is what he means. he's my first choice.

besides.. shepard fairy made a sick poster for him :p

02-26-2008, 11:39 AM
Trowel-hell yeah man look at hitler and napolean...I mean they got greedy and they defeated themselves. Also (no beef) I can see what you mean by not wanting to vote but as long as you don't complain about the way the system is run it's all dandy. But too many people out there now adays say that they don't vote and they don't agree with they way things are run when really yeah maybe not one vote will count but if we impact enough people to vote things will change. See it's all about the power of numbers. The government is truely afraid of the citizens and they're more afraid of us because we can get more honest, true followers with a simple tag we put up on a building than most people can get by buying them off. It just takes someone to stand up for something they want and to stand their ground. How do you think Blacks defeated the civil rights era. Rodney king? etc...no one anymore is willing to stand up for what they want because the government has scared us since we were kids by broadcasting FEAR throughout the airwaves.

STEEL-Yeah that poster Fairey made was sick :)

JAKBG23- I agree with the whole missle thing. Honestly i think that our government did it to let the other countries know that if they ever make a secret weapon we can shoot it down. In fact right now we are developing a plane that can fly on the outer edge of the atmosphere above radar and can ultimately "dive bomb" other countries with the nukes that we "Promised we wouldn't use."

Just my opinion... :)

Personally, I want Mike Gravel to win. Of course he WON'T, but I'm not too disappointed in the current situation.. Hilary is my second choice. She did more as first lady than George Bush has done in an eight year term as the American president. So I know she WILL actually come through with what she says. However, I think women are inept in every way.

Anywhosers. I don't know much about Obama, but he seems around to being on par with the same views as Hilary, so either is fine by me, I prefer Hilary, though.

ROTEN FOR PRESIDENTE.

yea and besides, so what if we had a muslim as a president? for one thing he wouldnt be a right wing conservative christain and for another... our foreign policy would be ecstatic. think about it.. if a muslim were the US's president so many countries would respect us and stop hating us. thats one of the reasons i want obama.. yes because of his skin color. i know that sounds.. racy or whatever but having a black president especially right now would do wonders for our relations with other countries.

02-26-2008, 06:33 PM
I'm gonna say obama here, because I feel that hillary is a great presidential candidate, not a great president. Seems like she's saying what she needs to to get into office.

On the topic of foreign relations, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7d_e9lrcZ8&feature=related
I really like Ron Paul's views right there. He's not going to win and I don't want him to, I'm just behind that specific viewpoint. It's really time for us to just get the fuck out of there and apologize. The whole "we gotta remain till it's stable" thing is bullshit.

As for religion, it'd be nice to have an respectful atheist/agnostic atheist in office. Doesn't align with my beliefs, but it'd near guarantee separation of church and state.

probally not......(nobeef im not trying to be a dick)

i think this election ( my first fuck yeah) im gonna vote republican ...not because i like it but becase the alternative IS worse...i mean obama and said in a speech (basically to sum it up) ...if we werent spending money on the iraq war we could spend money on roads schools hospitals and domestic needs....but then he is like a major proponent or cosposner i think of hte global poverty act....basically give us taxpayer money to the poor all around the earth...up to i think .7% of US gdp.....thats alot of money!!!...that could be going to schools hospitals and domestic needs.....heh...

and then hillary clinton with her husband helped push through nafta which has hurt the american economy more than it helped (back then they thought it would stimulate the us economy and bring jobs or something...) she was more of a copresident than anyhthing with bill....so we wanna elect her for "change"

02-26-2008, 08:47 PM
true uhhh but the war is lost. the thing was that yes, the military leaders knew what had to be done but bush didnt do what they advised. heres what shud have been done: history shows that when a government is toppled in an unstable country you must enforce the new law within 2 months of the overthrowing. this means cracking down and having EXTREMELY strict law and rules. this prevents widespread riots, theft, and a free for all. this was not done and thats why there was all the chaos. worst of all, it gave the terrorists or whatever u want to call them, time to regroup and and organize. what bush shud have done is done his troop surge years ago right after the government was toppled. but he didnt and there wasnt enough manpower to enforce and maintain order. now that he DID do the troop surge, things are slightly improving although this war will still go down as our largest military blunder since nam because bush didnt do what had to be done to execute a smooth transition of power

...uhh
02-26-2008, 09:24 PM
we are on the same page about the politicians fucking up at first only to be replaced by competant generals. but when a war is lost it means the military objectives were not met or impossible, our objectives for iraq are being met (albeit at a horribly slow rate). violence is being controlled, order is coming, and the iraqi government is finally beginning to get it together, but iraq is far from over, i think iraq will be on our plate for at least the next 5 -8 years. and its worth it i believe.

well uhh i guess u can look at it that way. i say the war is lost because all of our original objectives and reasons for going to war were either proved false or were not met.. so.. yes they were changed.. and these current objectives are somewhat more realistic.. but it only took us like 6 years to come up with them.

remember the origional reason for invading irag? something about.. um.. oh yea! "weapons of mass destruction" ..hmm havent heard much about them lately

in my eyes iraq has been a failure since england created it with no regard to tribal boundaries. in a perfect world sunnis and shiites would get along perfectly in the country they have. but the world isnt perfect and islam is so deeply divided now that i cant see how theres any other way to leave iraq other than splitting it up into seperate nations according to tribal regions. weve lost 4000+ men who werent told the truth about why they were going to fight and die halfway across the world, and its still going on? its one of the great injustices of our time, not only for iraq but for the dead on our side as well.

steel..here is an article from (OH MY GOD) FOXnews.com


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,200499,00.html

WASHINGTON — The United States has found 500 chemical weapons (javascript:siteSearch('chemical weapons');) in Iraq (javascript:siteSearch('Iraq');) since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.
"We have found weapons of mass destruction (javascript:siteSearch('weapons of mass destruction');) in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.
Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."

there were wmds in iraq not the mountain of them that we were expecting...but still one wmd for saddam was too many...

about cheney masterminding the whole thing...idunno...when has the government ever been able to effectivley do anything...especially something so importatn as a set up of a country....i mean cheney would have had to have helpers ...and one of them would have to have sqeueld...but thus far noone... i konw of...(please tell me if u know)...its just too big a plan for our government to effectivly pull off ya know?

Bush doesn't need to make profit, he wasn't exactly poor when he went into office. He's not going broke any time soon.

thats true he was wealthy when he went into office, but oil companies controlled by his friends, family, and that he's been on the board for have become exponentially wealthy due to the invasion, not to mention halliburton and defense contractors that benefited as well. its no coincidence that every member on bush's staff with the exception of maybe one or two has direct connections to management and investment in oil companies, so even though he himself hasnt become crazy rich since 2003, he's made his friends and family rich, and what sector do you think he'll enter after he's done with his term? what goes around comes around.

and as far as good balanced media goes, it seems to me that its hard to find a middle ground in the US its either far right or far left. i think the bbc has great coverage of events here, they've more toward the middle than the major news networks weve got. npr is pretty left, but i like them.

this is possibly political, with reference to global warming.
I don't know how educated you are on the subject of global warming (i'm fairly ignorant) though my lecturer says that global warming propaganda only focuses o n the blanket keeping heat in, not the fact that the blanket also reflects a lot more heat.
I take this information and interpret it as saying that these effects cancel each other out.

Global warming is a good thought and hell why can't everyone drive hybrid cars? I'm sure that they can make some cool looking ones. And even if they can't make one it's better than supporting the government that is a huge culprit in the rising gas prices. But in my opinion global warming isn't caused by just us. It's just the earth going through its normal cycle. So realy anyone who devote's their whole life to finding a way to change billions of people (Al Gore) is wasting their time. :D

Although Micheal Moore may have good intentions, his documentarys hardly strike out a point and circulate around complete bullshit and biased facts.

As for the 2008 election in America, if I was a citizen there, I'd more than likely go with Obama.

But instead I'll wait till this minority government we have in Canada comes to some sort of a disagreement and has another electionl.

This is off topic but slightly involved with politics and more with the arth ish.

What's everyone think of the "2012" "Planet X" "End of the world" stuff? I'm sure it has nothing to do with any mythical figures at all, But I'm starting to think there's something to the planet X thing. Especially with recent events. But, rots is ever the skeptic.

in regards to the dinosaurs and global warming and things.. im not going to say that global warming isnt accelerated by humans.. that just isnt so... but there is a good amount of evidence that suggests multiple mass extinctions on earth since its birth.. im talking about sweeping environmental changes dramatic enough to completely extinguish most forms of life on earth. there is evidence of both total and partial extinctions.. but the fact of the matter is that when these events happen, its absolutely environmental factors that facilitate it. just something to think about.

Anyway. What do you mean by, he just wants to give money to the crackbabies and fags?

You seem to be missing the larger picture when it comes to the American presidency.
the last thing I want in office is Mccain, a psychotic Christian conservative looking to illegalize abortions and give us MORE 'crackbabies'. What are some of Mccain's positive points? What has he done that's so great? Not that Obama has really made his mark as a powerfigure in the country as of yet, but his ideals are at least sane and mature.

wow that was a pretty ignorant argument. you obviously dont know much about obama's stances on healthcare, the economy, national security, and the war iraq. the fact that obama is black has nothing to do with it for me...i acknowledge that its true some minorities will vote for obama just because of his color..but thats true for the opposite, i bet alot of people vote against him because of his race too, so i dont think its a fair comparison. our country is under attack from AL QUAEDA, who were NOT in iraq, as was proven, and because of our presence in iraq, have now started to flood there. so in effect we helped al quaeda become a force in iraq, where it was not before. its easy to begin suppressing civil liberties like weve been doing under the name of national security, but its easy to cross the line, and i think thats been done. what the united states is at war with is islam in general, it scares us because we dont know much about it. theres an a theory that the next "cold war" type scenario is starting right now, and its going to be a war of west v islam. islam isnt any more a fundamentally violent religion than christianity is, but islamic states happen to control a lot of oil so were there, do you really think the us would be in iraq if its major economic product were soybeans?

i vote for a party who has more chances of winning seats than the parties who i support the most. il vote for the NDP (a more leftist party) as opposed to the Green party (far left) because the ndp is more likely to win seats. What this does is introduces more leftist opposition in the house of commons which in the end is my goal. If i would vote green my vote might help them win one seat but they are not likely to be able to bring much change.

As i said before, i am a leftist anarchist so i dont really support any prty whole heartedly however i am realistic and i'll try to bring change through any methods that are offered even if that means voting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Still_%281951_film%29

what i took away from this film is that we are ruining our chances of ever making it by being a violent, ignorant, mistrusting species. its like if you went home everyday and punched a hole in your wall and threw a dish on the floor, after a while youd be like wow this is a total dump

its an amazing story and their remaking it but i doubt itll be the same, if you wanna discover how disgutsing a species we are i suggest watching it


Klaatu (Michael Rennie) arrives in a flying saucer-like spaceship and lands on the Ellipse in President's Park, Washington, DC. He declares he has come in peace on a mission of goodwill; he holds up and activates a small device that opens with a snap. Before he can explain what it is, Klaatu is shot and wounded by a nervous soldier, who assumes the device is a weapon. In response, a large robot called Gort steps out of the spaceship and melts all weapons present without harming the soldiers, until the wounded Klaatu orders him to cease. Klaatu explains the "weapon" was a gift to the President and could have been used to study the other planets.

He is taken to Walter Reed Hospital and quickly recovers. While there, Klaatu meets the President's secretary, Mr. Harley, but is unable to convince him to organize a meeting of world leaders. Klaatu suggests the United Nations, but is told not all the world's countries are represented there, and later, that world leaders cannot even agree on a meeting place for such a momentous occasion. When Klaatu makes known his wish to live amongst ordinary people, to understand them better, Mr. Harley rebuffs him and implies that the alien patient is a prisoner. Later, Klaatu easily escapes into the night.

He goes to a boarding house and tells those living there his name is "Carpenter", taking the name from a laundry label on a suit he has taken. Among the residents are Helen Benson (Patricia Neal), an employee of the United States Department of Commerce, and her son Bobby (Billy Gray). Helen is a widow; her husband was killed at Anzio during World War II. The next morning, Klaatu listens to the radio commentator and breakfast table banter of the boarders. They wonder whether the spaceship is from outer space or perhaps the work of the Soviets. When Helen's boyfriend, Tom Stephens (Hugh Marlowe), plans a day-trip getaway for the two of them, Klaatu offers to take care of Bobby.

Bobby gives Klaatu a tour of Washington, D.C., including a visit to the grave of his father in Arlington National Cemetery, where Klaatu learns with dismay that most of those buried there were killed in wars. The two next visit the Lincoln Memorial and the heavily guarded spaceship where Gort stands motionless. Klaatu, impressed by the inscription of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, is hopeful that there may be minds on Earth wise enough to understand his message. When he asks Bobby to name the greatest person in the world today, Bobby mentions a leading American scientist, Professor Barnhardt (Sam Jaffe), who lives nearby.

Bobby takes Klaatu to Barnhardt's home. The professor is absent, but Klaatu goes into his study and helps solve an advanced mathematical n-body problem written on a blackboard, before leaving his address with the housekeeper. Later, government agents escort Klaatu to see Barnhardt. Klaatu warns the professor that the people of the other planets know that human beings have developed atomic power and will not allow this to endanger them. Barnhardt offers Klaatu the opportunity to speak at an upcoming meeting of world scientists he is organizing; Klaatu accepts. Barnhardt is stunned when Klaatu declares that if his message is rejected by the leaders of the nations, "Planet Earth will be eliminated." The professor soberly pleads that Klaatu first provide a minor demonstration of his power as a warning.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d0/GortKlaatumessage.jpg

Klaatu returns to his spaceship that night to implement the professor's suggestion. Bobby trails him and is amazed to see his new friend enter the ship. When Tom Stephens and Helen Benson return from their evening out, Bobby tells them that Mr. Carpenter is the spaceman. They do not believe him at first, but when Bobby goes upstairs to bed, they notice that his shoes are soaking wet. Their suspicions grow when Tom finds an expensive diamond in Mr. Carpenter's room.

The following day, Tom takes the diamond to a jeweler, who claims that it is an unknown kind of diamond. Meeting Helen at work, Klaatu insists on speaking to her. While riding in an elevator, it stops. A series of montage scenes show that Klaatu has suppressed electric power all over the world (with exceptions for critical systems, such as hospitals, planes in flight etc.). This has literally brought the entire world to a standstill. During the blackout, Klaatu enlists Helen's aid. She urgently searches for Tom to explain everything to him, but he tells her that he intends to turn Klaatu in to the authorities, which will make him rich and famous. Helen rejects her boyfriend and rushes home to warn Klaatu. Together, they take a taxi cab to hide at Barnhardt's home until the upcoming meeting with the scientists. On the way, Klaatu tells Helen that if anything happens to him she must go to Gort and say, "Klaatu barada nikto." As they approach Barnhardt's, the army surrounds them, Klaatu runs from the cab, and he is shot dead.

Conquering her fear, Helen does as Klaatu instructed. The robot carries her into the spaceship, then retrieves Klaatu's corpse and brings him back to the spaceship where, using equipment on board, Klaatu is miraculously brought back to life. Klaatu steps out of the spaceship and speaks to the assembled scientists. He tells them Earth's penchant for violence and first steps into space have drawn the attention of other spacefaring worlds. These worlds have created a race of robot enforcers like Gort, and given them absolute power to deal with any outbreak of violence. He warns that the people of Earth can either abandon warfare and peacefully join other spacefaring nations – or be destroyed. "The decision rests with you." He then enters the spaceship and departs.

i have yet to hear an even semi-reasonable explanation of how anarchy could work on any sort of major level. as a personal philsosophy i can understand, but are you really advocating changing america as a whole into an anarchist free-for-all? not being an ass, im genuinly curious..

no its more of a personal philosophy however in a small scale i could show you how dedicated people could make it work and currently do. On a large scale its a dream but unrealistic. however we will see how long capitalism lasts...

marx said that only once global capitalism is acheived, which we are seeing with globalization, will we ever see a true global revolution and global communism. I cant see capitalism survive more than another 50 years give or take a few. It will be an exciting fifty years for sure.

ah okay, my problem with people who want to bring about those type of changes is that if you have anarchy on a scale that large, you are forcing people to follow your way of thinking, theres no democracy in it. its a self-defeating theory. same with communism, in the end it all comes down to a group of people forcing others to agree with their way of thinking. democracy isnt perfect, but its better than the alternatives. i agree in the personal aspect though, i use it frequently in my own life.

wow that was a pretty ignorant argument. you obviously dont know much about obama's stances on healthcare, the economy, national security, and the war iraq. the fact that obama is black has nothing to do with it for me...i acknowledge that its true some minorities will vote for obama just because of his color..but thats true for the opposite, i bet alot of people vote against him because of his race too, so i dont think its a fair comparison. our country is under attack from AL QUAEDA, who were NOT in iraq, as was proven, and because of our presence in iraq, have now started to flood there. so in effect we helped al quaeda become a force in iraq, where it was not before. its easy to begin suppressing civil liberties like weve been doing under the name of national security, but its easy to cross the line, and i think thats been done. what the united states is at war with is islam in general, it scares us because we dont know much about it. theres an a theory that the next "cold war" type scenario is starting right now, and its going to be a war of west v islam. islam isnt any more a fundamentally violent religion than christianity is, but islamic states happen to control a lot of oil so were there, do you really think the us would be in iraq if its major economic product were soybeans?

well what marx's ideas were written during the industrial revolution so they were a response to the horrible working conditions. Basically If global capitalism would succeed people would notice how they were being exploited and create a class war. You suggest that it would be people forcing these ideas however the theory suggests that the large margin of people who would be the lower class would realize and revolt. There would only be a small margin of people who would be forced however if this was a violent revolution they probably wouldnt survive...

methods of government come into practice (thesis), then are faced with an opposition (anti-thesis) and then present a new thesis. so we will see what happens...

no beef bigel....but...

healthcare is not garenteed anywhere in the constitution... so its really not the gov job to give it to you. the idea that healthcare is out of reach for the lower half of society is false....their are already programs thta give healthcare to htem...recently i learned that 2/3 of the uninsured children in america are already eligible for government healthcare....also when the gov spews the number 43 million americans are uninsured today... a considerable number of those ppl are without insurance...for like a month to 6 months....then they get a new/better job, or get put on a family members insurance or sometimes their insurance simply runs out because they forgot to pay, or even some ppl are rich enouhg where they dont need health insurance and simply pay the doc and hospital whatever the fee is...my point is not all of the 43million ppl without healthinsurance are poor ppl in a shelter eating handouts.....

about being rich and having mommy adn daddys money i cant speak for the guy u quoted but for me i am definatley lower middle class...and i ( and everyone else in my immediate family) have health insurance....sure we wish it was cheaper but se la vie...

about it being communistic....well it is....i mean remmeber no big changes were ever made in a day they all happen slowly...and governmetn healthcare is a piece of communism....so it is communistic...also once the gov gets the power to be our doctor it gets loads more power...it can start controlling things like what we eat....what activities we engage in (ie mandatory exercise or no extreme sports that could cause u to hurt yourself) it just becomes very scare the foot hold the government gets after that...

also while im at it can someone give me a reason why they government shouldnt pay my car insurance bill, house insurance, or flood insurance bill?

firstly, assuming that a 250 year old document is entirely as relevant today as it was then is insane..thats why we have amendments. im not suggesting that healthcare is entirely footed by the government, but doesnt it strike you as strange that the united states is the ONLY industrialized country in the world without universal healthcare? the costs of healthcare are rising way way faster than income, and thousands and thousands of people every year lose everything because of medical bills, its the single biggest cause of bankruptsy now. pharmaceutical companies dont help by holding virtual monopolies over certain patents that let them inflate prices hundreds of times what they're actually worth. 15 percent of america has no health insurance period, and thats a consistent number derived from continuous studies, not some random census' every ten years.

and the notion that the government helping subsidize healthcare is a slippery slope toward socialism is a pretty lazy argument. the us ranks something like 40 in quality of healthcare worldwide, which is real low considering were the most powerful country on earth. if you gave people without insurance a choice between basic medical attention and a "maybe" and "what if" scenario about socialism, i guarantee you they'd all take what they need to survive.

so ur saying that the constitution is outdated?...its only 250 years old....so becaues the constitution is outdated, should we take away womens suffarage and black freedom from slavery? it is outdated......
no we shouldnt...the constitution was purposely written vaugley to insure we had room to work with it....i highly disagree its outdated...politcicians and political parties on the other hand....haha

it doesnt strike me as strange when i have a grandmother that lives in italy with so called universal healthcare....the government told the ppl " u pay ur taxes and we will foot all the bills for ur healthcare" bull....my grandmother...(a retired nurse) told me she still has to pay a copay on her governments healthcare bill....and the government dosent cover everything so she still had to buy private insurance!!! so now instead of paying for just health insurance and maybe a small copay here and there , she pays ass loads of taxes for complete "universal" healthcare , copays on the govs bill, and then her private health insurance, and then copays on that.government healthcare doesnt work.

also my great aunt who lives with my grandmother has alzheimers, and a bunch of other degenerative diseases. she is about 88 years old....my grandmother took her to the doctor...(2 different times the first she left because they told her we cant see u today we are too busy...) when she finally got to see the doctor he told her yeah she has these things that u thouhgt she had, alzheimers and the rest....but lemme call hte gov and see if they will pay the medication bills....................*ring*ring*.............n ope they wont...sry she is gonna die painfully , and then he said to my grand mother "well she is 88 years old anyway she wasnt gonna live much longer anyway"

AT LEAST OVER HERE IF U HAVE THE MONEY U WILL GET TREATED AND THE GOVERNMENT CANT TELL ANYONE ELSE WHO LIVES OR DIES


universal healthcare is like shit with a bow tied around it . it looks pretty caues of the bow but its still shit.....universal healthcare is why canada is losin doctors offices at alarming rates...universal healthcare is why in england they are making ppl wait in the ambulance before they are seen....universal healthcare is why doctors and the government decide who lives and dies....

TOKE: they also said the titanic would never sink,the world trade centers would never fall if hit, neworleans would never flood, the colonists will never rebel.... ur insane if u think it will never happen....im pretty sure u dont have a crystal ball....

dont get me started on the QUALITY of universal healthcare....


sry i got heated but it is wildly important this issue....it could change the face of the world ....i said world...

drug companies = fail, i will agree to that ,but instead of burning the us system of helathcare to the ground how about making it better... how about seeing to it that americans in poverty are taught to get jobs where they can get healthinsurance?!? is that a crazy idea?

Compared to the so called "democracy" we have in most "democratic" countries, I think communism works really well. Look at Cuba, because no one is giving money their entire concentration like we do in our capitalistic country, they are concentrating on improving the school system, the healthcare, the people. Cuba has the highest literacy rate in the world, and the most efficient health care, the source comes from UN website. I think communism is a great alternative to what we say is democracy, but obviously it's not perfect. Some communist leaders are waaaay to self centered, like Kim Jong II, but I'd much rather have a communist government, than a Canadian Democratic government who keeps people of interest in terrorism cases in prison for 8 years without a charge, or who's police harass working class people, or where the rich are excused from their moral duties as citizens, so yes, I am a fan of communism

Cuba's prior government was shit at one point, wonder why someone took over and did things for the country. If you build a country on a poor mans idea, of course it's going to work. When some capitalist mother fucker tries to shape a country's ideals, then about 99.9% of the time there is a large majority of the population getting raped financially or medically. If you build upon something when you're already at the bottom, everything above you goes up and rarely anything falls behind you. But if you're trying to pull a shit hole out while you're already on the top... not even worth it.

Communism doesn't really work. Sure it is the working mans government, and the people are forced to live within its boundaries, but officials hardly ever do. Its this thing called corruption. I'm not saying our country or any other isn't corrupt, but look at communist countries. Their leaders rob the people telling them they are all equal and that their well being is being monitored by the government, but it hardly ever is. The people are given false hope as the leaders who present it to them break their own code. Also, the laws in communist countries are usually really strict. If a writer gets caught, they end up on like death row.

if a writer gets caught they end up on like death row? That's complete bullshit, and a complete biased opinion. The only time you end up on death row is if you kill a government official or a spy. You don't think that capitalistic leaders rob the people? Obviously communism is not perfect,but its a hundred times better than this imperialistic capitalistic AIPAC government, in the sense that at least they PRETEND to care about us, this government doesn't even pretend to give two shits about the people, and instead just feed lies to everyone about how bad all the other countries governments are, (ex: Russia, Cuba, NK, Venezuela, Bolivia).

zionism? as in judaism...?

last i checked jews believed in evolution.. just saying..

zionism is not judaism, which is a common misperception which is why people think that being anti-zionist is being anti-semitic. Zionist's believe that Jews are the supreme race, and that Israel is their rightful property and land, so in 1949, they masacred palestinians kicked them out of their homes, established jewish settlements, and called it Israel. In the meantime, they were sending palestinians to refugee camps, like Shabra and Shatila, unfortunatly, this was not enough for the israelis, and in the 80's they sent the Israeli Army after different refugee camps, and massacred everyone in them. At the moment, Arabs living in "Israel" (or the occupied territories, like Tel Aviv, Jerusalem ect...) are not allowed to vote, use some public places, and are often subject to interrogation, short terms in prison, for fear of "terrorism". A giant wall has been built around Israel, preventing the Palestinians from leaving, preventing any aid from the Red Crescent, leaving the Palestinians to die. Basically, Apartheid is being implemented, and no one gives a shit. Almost everyone views Israel as a legitimate country, and have no problem about how they kill children, or force palestinian men to give their ID's at checkpoints, and if their Arab, they have to get naked and stand outside for 45 minutes, (source is from Jimmy Carters book, Peace not Apartheid), Everyone should research this.

i agree with you on this, and i dont want anybody to get the impression i support communism, because i think its unrealistic, oppresive bullshit...i just support certain tenents of socialism when applied in a democractic society..ie universal healthcare. social darwinism always struck me as a cop out though to excuse how the rich are able to control the poor. eh whatever though.



Universal Health care is a tricky issue. Canada is one of the only countries in the world with Universal health care that is almost entirely publicly funded and where obtaining private care is illegal. In a recent study of nations with universal health care we were ranked last in terms of quality and last in terms of bang for buck.

Why?

Because without any incentive to become more efficient because of the lack of competition hospitals just suck money up.

We also currently give lump sums of money to hospitals regardless of how money patients it sees.

Anyhow lesson is total Universal health care doesn't work. Completely private health care doesn't work. You've got to find the proper balance, which I have a feeling Obama and Hillary won't accomplish.

i agree but if the competition is so good for our system how come were ranked 41 in quality of overall healthcare then? i dont think we have to sacrifice 15 percent of the poplulation's health problems just to keep the quality high, there is a middle ground like you said.

Communism doesn't really work. Sure it is the working mans government, and the people are forced to live within its boundaries, but officials hardly ever do. Its this thing called corruption. I'm not saying our country or any other isn't corrupt, but look at communist countries. Their leaders rob the people telling them they are all equal and that their well being is being monitored by the government, but it hardly ever is. The people are given false hope as the leaders who present it to them break their own code. Also, the laws in communist countries are usually really strict. If a writer gets caught, they end up on like death row.

i actually agree with you completly. Communism is good in theory, but it never fucking works. When i grew up i lived in one, and i feel it worked a little better than the US's fucked up government. But i really dont want to raise a family in a commie government but also not in some bullshit american government. thats why i'm saying we should build an island and float it out off the coast of new jersey and claim it our own.

governer of NY elliot spitzer(douchebag) was just exposed to be involved with this massive prostitution ring

high class bitches, like 5 grand an hour or some shit.

we think (and hope) he's gonan resign within the week

edit: i feel like i should explain more

the reason this pisses everyone off so much is that his entire political career has been preaching about ethics and how we're gonna fix shit but it has to be in an ethical way blah blah blah just talked bullshit.

and i have some personal reasons but i'd rather not share

re edit:: ^^that doesn't mean im related to him lol i just dont feel liek taking the time to type out he whole story. point is. he's a hypocritical asshole.

Alright from what I have read its obvious most of you have no idea what is going on in the goverment.

Woodrow Wilson
"my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation,
therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely
controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.
No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by
the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

Just to get started are country isnt controlled by the goverment its controlled by the bankers, the federal bankers to be specific. Who in fact are not federal at all since they have no ties to the goverment besides controlling its money supply. That is just one quote out of many from presidents and others high in the goverment that let you know the truth even though people have chose to ignore it.

Your vote dosent matter. and neither does the president. The president is nothing but a puppet are current president being a perfect example. You really think that moron could have been elected normally.

You cant run to canada either...the president already signed a declaration declaring all of north america one country erasing all borders. There by destroying the Constitution. Its called the North American union and most people have never even heard of it. Along with it will also comes a new form of currency called the Amaro.

9-11 was an inside job. I know all of you have seen the bumper stickers but its no joke. There is a pile of evidence a mile high. and its not the first time it has happend. The former FBI chief was recorded telling about multiple bombings conducted by the CIA and FBI. For example the first bombing of the World Trade centers...but not enough people died to push the bill for the department of homeland security through. Which takes away most of are rights.

Right now the goverment has a right to search your house, tap your phone, and take you in to custody without a warrant. they also have the right to torture you all under the suspsion that your a terrorist (which means someone envoking fear not that your bombing anything or actully harming anyone) for example if this scares you they could arrest and torture me right now and never allow me a lawyer or give an explanation for what I did or what happend to me. And I hope I am scaring you. Ignorant fucking people

word up this stuff is true.. Except i think the reason people dont know about it is because the lack of reality in the media. the people in charge have the media under wraps, and theyve admitted it. Thats why i dont really watch TV. It's also why if you drive down the street you see 30 girls rocking the same hoodie and tight jeans. people made their own uniforms because its "cool" It's also why everyones mind is in the gutter and so many people are on "miracle diets". It's all a distraction, a fake facade that is used to steal your money, and in stealing your money, stealing the time you worked to make that money.. Thus taking your life from you.

conservatism is close mindedness, its an attachment to tradition and fear of change and reform.

as i said before communism has never acutally been put in practice. marxist-leninism was basicly another authoritarian regime. Lenin admired marx but his practices were in no way anywhere near marx's theories.

as for this so called communism being a massacre, capitalism does so as well but on others' soil.

has left wing ideologies been left behind by serious thinkers? well lets look at Noam Chomsky or Naomi Klein...

and you should suppose the ends jusitfy the means, thats basicly the machiavelli mindset that all right wing individualists share.
