rhys 0 #29 January 5, 2009 QuotePeople in this thread need to understand the difference between "isolationism" and "non-interventionism." I favor the latter, not the former. ditto"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhys 0 #30 January 5, 2009 Quote Is that because they use them medieval measurements still? yes and along with the mindset that the imperial system is superior and easier. Just like it took you/us europeans 1000 years to accept the number '0'. The hindis and muslims were using zero for a millenia before the church would accept it. Funnily enough, that only changed when it finally became acceptible and not a sin to charge interest on loans by the catholic church!"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnay 0 #31 January 5, 2009 QuoteBeing this country can be as strong as it once was (other than militarily) why don't we just step back and take care of our own? Thoughts. People with this fucked up nationalistic mentality make me want to fucking vomit. This ridiculous idea that people born outside of proverbial borders are somehow less human is the reason we have wars and genocide. The US is becoming so culture locked its just an embarrassment. People like you make us the joke of the world, but im sure you also take pride in this ignorance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
