What's really wrong about that? Don't you understand the idea of common culture or how culture formed? If that's the case, why are you afraid of sharia law? Why are you against stoning women for adultury, or forced female mutilation where the clitoris is cut off, or throwing gay people off buildings? Why are you afraid of that? Are you not also xenophobic, or do you actually want that? Do you want to wear a burka? Do you want to walk around and not be forced to act in a way that others desire you? Well, I imagine you don't want any of that, but I'll let you respond.
What's really wrong is the attitude that we can't question or suggest improvements to our culture without a knee jerk well leave then response. Your hyperbole about burkas is emblematic.

A more parliamentary system would lead to burkas? I don't want a parliamentary system here. I can discuss it without suggesting the proponents move out of the country, or suggesting burkas are the natural result. If you think a more parliamentary system leads to burkas you are pretty xenophobic too.

And so do you. Over that I'd even take Cruz.

Talk about a disturbing line of questioning.....now I can;t speak for anyone else, but;
Quote:why are you afraid of sharia law?
I'm not, but if I were it could -only- be because they were foreign laws.
Quote:Why are you against stoning women for adultury,
Yeah, here again I see nothing wrong, nothing at all.... other than that it's foreign.......ofc.
Quote:or forced female mutilation where the clitoris is cut off,
If only a good ole boy from dixie had come up with that one, you know?
Quote:or throwing gay people off buildings?
Now wait a minute...we're not doing that anymore, there goes my friday night.
Quote:Why are you afraid of that? Are you not also xenophobic, or do you actually want that?
You're totally right, I can't fault any of those things except for their foreign nature. I must, just must, want them or be xenophobic. There are no other options, no other explanation.

So this was created by the Our Principals PAC who have nothing but anti-Trump vids on their channel. They don't cover any other candidate, yet their mission statement says:
Mission Statement
As Thomas Jefferson said, "In matters of style, swim with the current. In matters of principle, stand like a rock." With our nation's progress stalled by politicians who refuse to lead, Americans are rightly frustrated. Our Principles PAC was formed to educate and engage American voters about the men and women who seek our vote, and about the challenging issues they will confront should they get elected.

And then you look at who's behind it, which is really and extension of the Republican party.

Herr Drumpf's stormtroopers certainly know how to take their marching orders from their fuhrer.
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/neo-nazi...banksters/
Quote:Neo-Nazi Trump supporter calls for execution of Ted Cruz’s ‘sl*t wife’ over links to ‘Jew banksters’
Quote:Writing on The Daily Stormer, founder Andrew Anglin used the dispute over attacks on the wives of both of the leading GOP presidential candidate’s wives to pile on Heidi Cruz, a former Goldman Sachs executive.
“Tedman Cruise Ship recently published sexy photos of Donald Trump’s beautiful Slav wife in an ad for the apparent purpose of indicating Trump is a badman for marrying a model who posed for sexy photos,” Anglin wrote, “Cruzman responded by lying and saying he had nothing to do with the ad, then saying it would be wrong to expose his slut wife as a shill for international Jew banksters.”
“Surely, he is not responsible for the actions of his own wife in this great feminist experimental society, but if my wife was playing a lead role in a Jewish conspiracy to dissolve the border with Mexico, I would file for divorce. Wouldn’t you?” he continued. “Ted Cruz’ wife should be in prison or execute [sic] for high treason. Donald Trump’s wife should be on the cover of more magazines.”
Well, it isn't as if we didn't know that the Trumpster Divers were batshit crazy.

@Scoob
They desperately need to be rid of Trump. I sympathize, it would be a shame if the party of Lincoln had a picture of the Donald on it's headstone.

I know a lot of women that don't give a shit that he made them comments. Why would it matter that he said Rosie the fat pig is fat? She is a nasty pig.
If it were just Rosie? Disturbing, but not thenough sum of the man. But it's all women all of the time. And yes it matters to us.

So an improvement to culture would be adopting parts of sharia law to accommodate Islam? How about we start stoning women for adultery, like they do? Sharia law is not what I'm looking forward to, but maybe some people are to show how politically correct they can be.
51% of U.S. Muslims want Sharia; 60% of young Muslims more loyal to Islam than to U.S.

You seem to think I wrote that no one was brainwashed. I wrote no such thing. That renders this section of your reply irrelevant.

You're rather undermining your own argument here, given the large numbers of people who were sent to camps.

"Reeducation through labor" was a cynical justification cooked up by Lenin and Trotsky in 1919 to gain access to slave labor... but if you read about the history and practices of the GULags, you'll find that "education" was not given in the camps.

I don't know why you're directing this point at me, given that I'm not a liberal (in the modern sense of the word), nor do I support imprisonment for crimes of conscience.
The only point I was making is that many, if not most, citizens in most Communist countries aren't brainwashed (I do not include North Korea because I don't know enough about what's going on there).
Why that bothers you so much that you start tossing around irrelevancies is an interesting question.
