the russian astrologer Marina Bai is suing nasa for having altered the trajectory of the meteorite they exploded earlier this morning, and having thus rendered her horoscopes invalid. I can't be bothered to convert, but she's suing them for the equivalent of 20 billion norwegian kroner.
..to me this seems like giving humans the option of altering their fate as decided by any horoscope by simply blowing up some random galactic body or whatever... I thought horoscopes were more bound to fate..?

Hehe.
I would like to see that one succeed. Can I sue the us for their actions in iraq throwing off my belief in capitalism working?

there's a difference between capitalism and imperialism.

There is nothing we can do, America will always ensure they have a "client state" under the veil of democracy. Afghanistan for example has/had as its first democratic leader a friend of the Bush family.

True, but the us won't openly call itself imperialist, yet.
If they claim they is capitalist, then the proof is there. No burden for me...

Yes, absolutely.
What I mean is that you can have capitalism without imperialism - however the US seems so hell-bent on keeping the whole American Dream alive (GET.RICH.GET.RICH.GET.RICH) that they're resorting to this imperialist foreign policy to -- and i'm quoting from neo-conservative literature now -- maintain America's dominant position in the world, both economically and militarily.
Taxidermist - the US will never call itself imperialist. It's an ugly word with evil connotations.

true, I hate the fact Americans think themselves the best race in the entire world, above all their european friends. (ironic lest they forget they're decended from ENGLISH settlers).
Disgusting fact: If we all lived like the average american we'd need 5 earths to sustain us

that would also make them fascist... hopefully, it's only the stupid ones that get to be on tv because stupid people are more frequently "controversial," while the intelligent ones exist, but aren't put in the public light unless they are "controversial" on something where the stupid constitute the norm.
I just woke up.

the americans noticed, but we didn't as it isn't really anything anyone but americans care about.
did you know that they planned to blow up the meteorite on independence day just to make the day even more special?
