I for one have been saying for years that US aid to the nations should be completely cut off. We merely bolster those in power unfairly by taking the peoples' advantage away from natural power play. Give some of that aid to the World health organization, the United Nations, and maybe fund a neutral international refugee camp that can allocate refugees throughout the nations evenly. Other than that, let the world figure out its own shit.
I don't know who I'm voting for in 2016, but I don't have much hope for a progressive future if the Republicans can get away with vindictively self detonating its' economies then lie their asses off to blame everyone else, consequence free. I feel like I'm in that book 1984 where the public forgets facts as soon as they happen because they're ignorant as fuck.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Even if you agree with him on foreign policy issues he is still for "less government" and I do not see how that will help because big business is about banks fuel and weapons and conflict helps sell their products.
The world's biggest distraction is religious ideology and that gives great cover for global corporatism to keep humans divided.

I saw that last night too. Can you imagine the ads. Bernie IS a socialist. And the morons in this country will have that pounded up their asses by the republicunts 24/7 and then go home and cash their social security checks while they vote for any republicunt scumbag the party hacks put up.

How naive are you? There's no one who can get into the primaries who isn't bought-up by corporate benefactors.

Better yet, we should realize what a sham voting is and not vote at all.

Rand Paul 2016!
I'm totally voting for that douche bag. Totally the least worst of the snake pit.
Except Grayson, but he doesn't stand a chance.
god is supposed to be imaginary

You couldn't pay me enough to vote for him.
No...I expect you will vote for who ever the democunts tell you to vote for.....like a good demozombie. In 2016....if the candidates are bad enough...I might not vote at all.
There is a lot about Paul I don't agree with...but he wouldn't be a corporate shill like Obama.
You still have yet to explain to me how removing the barriers to business will magically get them to stop what you already admit they are doing to government.
You think Rand Paul isn't a corporate shill? HA like I said, if republicans already allow the Koch Brothers to own them, Rand Paul would be even more of a wet dream to the Koch Brothers.

Not me. Westernized societies do far better than closed states as far as protecting dissent and pluralism. I see no point in having a revolution just because currently the tool of government is being abused. I know far too much of history to know having one will not be an assurance that the outcome will be any less immune to corruption or favor your personal desires.
You do not simply create a power vacuum because it will become a power struggle when created and most often the case is that while the "revolution" occurs and there is unity in it, after the power is toppled the infighting starts for the struggle over how the new power is set up.
I think it is better to use your own voice and keep the tools of westernized governments but simply get rid of the corruption.

Voting with bricks is better than not voting at all; passion is better than apathy, right?
Me, I vote, on a ballot; I've lived through one revolution and don't want to see another. But throwing a brick is better than bending over in the current system, don't you agree?
