Gun Control: Say What you Mean.

Thank you. What do they do with that extra money?

They probably find a way to spend it anyways.

By the way, congratulations Brian. Given how Chuckie melted down, I think it counts as a win for you. I doubt it gives you much pleasure, though. What a pitiable little kid.

No, I feel sorry for humanity that they do this to kids and then those kids get raised with a scorched earth policy and don't have any coping mechanisms when the world doesn't fit how they think it should be. I used to be that way myself. Hormones for any kid or teen or young adult always screws up the world because we are full of hormones and idealism.

Someone sold this kid a bill of goods. That happend to me too and because of some of the things I bought as a kid, I reacted just like he did and hated the world and everyone in it.

The Transgendered thread is what set me off. But the rape thing was not only absurd, but dangerous to real victims to have him sell such bad data to a rape victim that might read this.

Socialism IS evil. It is responsible for most genocides and mass murders in the world. The future you paint is that of blood, you can withdraw your support, but you choose not to- since you are evil in ways. I am saying that as long as you continue this evil of state violence under a false banner of morality, I will be your enemy.

Why are you Americans complaining about military spending isn't this---

scrapyard so much better to have than freely available heath care, social security, and books? You don't want to be like the other developed nations do you?

A nation can be very prosperous under a free market Capitalist system. Unfortunately, the US does not know how to do anything correctly in these days.

Well if you ask the likes of Rush and Bortz yea, we might need all that rotting stuff, but don't dare give a hungry family any food.

The military industry and oil industry don't want to change this. I do. The corporate goons have my own sister believing that "Obamacare" is going to raise health care costs. Well yea, the same way gas prices go up even though they don't have to. Blackmail the rest of us into submission.

They think the rest of us cant tell the difference between "I cant" and when what these goons really should say is "I don't want to".

I think the biggest reason for global instability and conflict are 3 industries. Oil, military and weapons. Scare the shit out of everyone and you can control them quite easily with sectarian issues such as politics and religion.

And the truly evil thing they use to keep the status qoe is that they hijack words like "freedom" and "free market" and hold them hostage and lie thinking we on the left hate business.

To do that you have to have a free market, a market which is controlled, is not by definition free.

Aristocracy = meritocracy, they both have the same meaning.

Markets which do not allow free access, but are controlled by guilds.

Small middle-class businesses, being closed in favour of the centralist corporations of the richest, because of government taxation systems.

Systems of which it is acknowledged that they can no longer deliver.

Capitalism would be a good idea,
we are still living in feudal societies.

BGChuckLee and A thiest, i have a question for you.

If a homeless man (who served in the military and fought in Afghanistan) needed money to get a new heart because he has something wrong with it. If he doesn't get this new heart he will die a painful death.

Lets say you can introduce an act instantly and money is no object.

I will give you choices:
A) Introduce a free medicare for this man and everyone else in the country. People have to pay taxes though
B) Pay for this mans expenses and save his life but no one else
C) Do nothing

What would you do?

Is it any hint that Nordic countries (especially Sweden) are trying to push through pro-market legislation? I think Sweden has finally realized something: the majority of their wealth was created when they were a free market country and the bloated public sector which has come as a result of their transformation to Socialism has reduced that wealth, raised taxes, and lowered the wages of government employees like teachers. Ron Paul actually gained quite a following in Sweden during the primaries. And in many other countries.

Yes indeed............


quite a lot.


Look at all the ralies and demonstrations held all throughout Europe to abolish their soial wellfare systems which have been in place for years.
Oh the power of this movement can be felt all throughout Europe.


Honestly, I guess Kim Jong Il has more followers in Europe than Ron Paul could ever dream of.
