  1. I love that in the land where the word communism makes people shiver....everybody is now a czar
  2. First you talk about national debt, then when that gets refuted, you return with an article on budget deficit. Do you even realize there is a difference? Either you are being deliberately obtuse, or you have no clue.....
  3. he's done extremely well for himself. A fine example of capitalism at work. It always amazes me thats staunch supporters of big business have such a hard time with Al Gore getting rich. Quite frankly, I wish I would have thought of it.
  4. Why are you equating a multi party environement with "oddball candidate"? The Netherlands for instance has at least 4 to 5 mainstream political parties, not oddball candidates. So, how does the centre get established in that environment? We're speaking of the political situation in the US, not the Netherlands - *do* try to keep up. So you have no clue....thanks for coming out.

  6. I think having one beer or one cigarette or one shot of heroin are slightly different. And "tax the shit out of them" has the same effect as makin them illegal.
  7. Don't think it called for breaking current contracts. Thought it called for suspension of official travel and prohibition of entering into new contracts.
  8. At any age? You are okay with your daughter shooting heroin as long as her grades don't suffer? How about an 8 year old using their allowance to buy coke, are you ok with that? If not, at what age are you ok with drug use? How about sex, if a 56 year old wants to have sex with a 13 year old and the 13 year old consents, are you ok cause there are two consenting people involved? Another perfectly valid point. We have decided as a society that people need to reach a certain age of maturity before they come into their full rights. I think that is self-apparent and should be continued. Obviously underaged persons are unprepared to make these decisions and to allow them to do so would cause them harm. Now, to be fair, plenty of adults seem unprepared to make good decisions as well. I would recommend letting those people suffer the consequences of their actions. It's a great teacher. Let me be clear: some claim they are Libertarians when they are truly anarchists. As I posted above, there are some minimal needs for government and regulation. I just think there are lots of things the government and it's parties get involved in that have no governmental interest. I think this can be traced to two parties that both want to regulate how others live. In this matter, I see little to distinguish them from each other. So exactly at what age is some one mentally prepared for heroin use?
  9. As the central area between the viewpoints of two opposing political parties, as opposed to the 'mob rule' viewpoint that you and kallend seem to think it is (a serious flaw). Wow, really? How does that work in a multi party environment?

  11. I bet the average IQ is above average, too. You will bet on anything if it can change direction of a thread ....and yes, I did read your post Not a change in direction but a hint at a serious flaw in your statement. I'll try and help you out. Just exactly how do you think centre is established?
  12. And exactly what great things did Bush accomplish when the R's dominated congress as well?
  13. I clicked on the link and my work computer told me "personal and dating sites" are blocked. I'm obviously a communist...
  14. The US is a nanny state? The issue remains that not all illegals are freeloaders. Not all illegals are brown skinned. All groups think that those who come after them are not as good. The US has an immigration problem, yet talking about freeloaders and generalizing about them is not how a problem gets solved.
  15. Would this include refering to a war as a crusade?
  16. isn't that what you are doing? I am sure your forefathers worked a lot harder than you ever did. I haven't found a man yet that hasn't been told that by dad, gandpa etc.
  17. Wow, system worked perfectly then. Specially since the consequences of that guilty finding were just as diffcult to bare as life in jail for OJ. (Never mind that the rules for evidence and rulings are significantly different between civil and criminal court) Like I said, you'd find a way to justify a cop shooting an unarmed man in the back.
  18. That's too confusing.....just open fire and shoot what you can.
  19. Sure the courts can find him innocent, they found OJ Simpson innocent as well. In my mind OJ Simpson is still guilty. Do you have a problem with that as well?
  20. That's right I did. I condemn him for shooting an unarmed man in the back. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
  21. Cop shot an unarmed man, sitting on his bike. I'm sure you'll find a way to justify that.
  22. I disagree, if the child threw a rock it is perfectly acceptable to shoot the kid. I learned that right here on SC.
  23. some people will have to click "view all" first....
  24. Then why don't you start doing your job....cop. Why don't you go to your local WalMart and start arresting people returning merchandise they paid for? There are a lot of WalMarts in the US. I wonder how many people have gotten arrested for returning merchanidse they paid for? Guess there are a lot of useless cops out there. here is some other fine work of one of your "brothers", he clearly should have kept to arresting people at the WalMart Customer Service desk. http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=news/local&id=7433661
  25. This counter argument would only hold water if you can establish that every person killed or injured at Kent was somebody who committed a violent, illegal act. (even then it is pretty questionable, but let's start there) Can you?
