anyway, socialism is great, being an anarchist, any system
where the wealth isnt concentrated into a small ruling class
must be great. A system where you dont have to sell yourself
into miser in order to live and have the opportunity to
fulfil one's self must be good.

No, my insults towards you follow on from your wanking over
NoIdeaWhatImTalking's posts or from you just being the tit
that you are. I have not resorted to insults as a response
to a rational point that has been raised.

Like all those Spaniards right? Oops. Insensitive.

I would really just like you to answer one simple question.

How does the war against Iraq and Spain's continued
involvement fight terror?

Possibly ...
It is a 'shame' though ... there is so much info and spin
and hype out there that intelligent* people can come to such
different conclusions about things. We all pick up on the
things the reinforce our views, and ignore the things that
dont, accross the whole spectrum of views. Its a big
problem.

Good time to cut out (and pretend you didn't read my
question.) I'll repeat it again, maybe someone else can
answer, as I highly doubt that you can.

"How does the war against Iraq and Spain's continued

Man, the bias and unintelligence in this thread is just
pathetic. Do you people do one ounce of research before you
cough out all this bullshit?

Seriously, both sides of the argument are looking like
nothing more than children slinging various ad hominem
attacks back and forth in some pathetic political penis
waving party.

What misinformation am I talking about? Here's an example:
Someone posted earlier that the U.S. wasn't involved in WWII
until Pearl Harbor was bombed. Guess what? The US was
setting an embargo to damage Japan because of Japan's
offensives against Manchuria. Japan's bombing of Pearl
Harbor was originally provoked by the US.

Also, the clear lack of being able to see both sides of the
argument here is pathetic.

LORL SPAIN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND STOP TAKING THIS SHIT FROM
TERRORISTS AND NOT LET IT AFFECT THEIR LIFESTYLES.

LORL THE US NEEDS TO LEAVE IRAQ ALONE AND WORK IT OUT
DIPLOMATICALLY BECAUSE WAR IS NEVAR THE ANSWER.

Seriously, the hypocrisy here is fucking sad.

Oh and spatchock:
[i]anyway, socialism is great, being an anarchist, any
system
where the wealth isnt concentrated into a small ruling class

must be great. A system where you dont have to sell yourself

into miser in order to live and have the opportunity to
fulfil one's self must be good. [/i]

Please explain to me how in ANY POSSIBLE MANNER anarchy can
be successful.

PS: Where's the incentive to succeed in staunch socialism?

instead of all the bickering in this thread, we should take
this time to all agree on the perfect governing style; the
one, true, fair socio-economic theory; and a foriegn policy
that doesn't either allow one's nation to be easily taken
over, or tread on other nation's rights.

go!

p.s. aperson i mentioned the us's pre-pearl harbor
involvement in WWII, like the second post after it was
mentioned.

"the us is the strongest economy in the world preciously

this made me laugh, and not just because you said preciously
instead of precisely

"the reason norway and canada are more socialist is simple.

IT fucking cold! you wouldn't want a bunch of people
freezing to death... "

This is just classic. I think this explains why Mexico is
full blown flee trade laissez faire, the U.S. has some
social safety nets, canada is socialist, and the north pole
is full blown communist! (you wouldn't want a bunch of elves
freezing to death)

>the us is the strongest economy in the world [precisely]

I'd argue it is a strong economy because a load of settlers
from europe colonised a huge country with massive natural
resources.
You could almost have governed it by rolling dice and still
come out with a strong economy.
More seriously: all your strongest economic sectors
(aerospace, telecoms, electonics, arms) have benefitted
massively from state investment .... the
the so called free markets aren't as free as they're made out to be

ok heres one for starters:

when a political party receives money from a corporation,
they should have to wear their 'sponsors' names on their
clothes, in the same way that sportpeople do. The size of
the name/logo should be proportional to the amount of money
donated.

Hence Bush would have 'texaco' emblazoned accross the chest
of his suit, 'exxon' down one arm, 'enron' printed accross
his forehead, 'haliburton' down the other arm, etc.

Oh and if you all want some actual evidence since you idiots
can't seem to do much more than theorize and ostracise...

The Socialist Party had 43% of the vote
The PP had 38%

In the 3 days before the election the Polls for the PP
dropped by an astounding 10%

That's food for thought...

i also support this idea. if you will, please clarify how
you wish to enforce this proposal.

i was also for the campaign finance bill... however, it
seems to've failed miserably in it's first trial run, as now
people within the political parties set up secret non-profit
organizations to filter their money through, and finance all
their ad campaigns... so, in effect the 'soft money' didn't
go away at all, it just became more underground and harder
to track.

all politics/politicians are corrupt to the core.

I think Spain made the right choice. Now Hopefully people
in the US will make the right choice and vote Bush out in
November. I think Bush did the right thing by helping Iraq,
but he went about it completely wrong, and why is he giving
80 billion $ for aid when people here are broke and jobless?

i'm not going to bother to read through all this because i
know it'll just frustrate the fuck out of me... i'd just
like to say, and i hope this has been pointed out umpteen
times already... i noticed that it sort of was in the first
60 comments... Spain's ruling party will probably be about
as left as the governments of Canada, Germany, Sweden (well
probably less than Sweden, but the point is that none of
these countries have particularly unstable governments,
particularly when you compare theirs' to the AMERICAN
government), France, etc.

this post was started out of the sheer miseducated ignorance
of someone who is forcefed ideology every goddamn day of
