    These threads are quite pointless aren't they.
    They are echo chambers.

    LOL, quite a while ago. It's fun to call them on their talking points now and then though.

    I'm sure it could, my response to crap is likely to be in the same vein

    Why are you linking the Hostess situation with Obama?

    Why does Obama still blame Bush for everything?

    Why don't you move to a communist country if you like socialism so much.


    I seem to remember you guys have been effectively disarmed by your paranoid politicians.

    Our system has worked VERY well... thats why it has lasted so long... what has NEVER worked in the history of mankind was ANY form of socialism... or communism.

    For the basic reason... you eventually run out of other peoples money.

    Why it is much more fun in an unplanned economy like this one

    I don't know what you mean, our military spending is on par with the rest of the world, and we can own guns, we just can't own military weapons. However unlike yourselves most of us choose not to, because we don't expect to be confronted by some nutcase with a gun. We collectively thought it was a good idea to remove military weapons from the general population when a nutcase murdered many and no prizes for guessing we have not had a similar even since, now you on the other hand can't say that

    Yes and guess who ran out first, your system has worked well to enrich the few and impoverish the many, it worked best when it was fuelled by slave labour, you keep forgetting that these people you revere so much were slave owners, exploiters and their policy was to enrich themselves. Your system worked well until you made the fatal mistake of putting your means of production in the hands of the communists

    You see what is interesting is that our system hasn't run out of money and yours has. We might argue about how the money is spent but we still have the ability to spend it for the public, not private, good

    As if no one ever looks to the past for wisdom? The bible? Confucius? Socrates? Plato? Aristotle?
