Open letter to the Left

[Brassmask]

Of course, this is the same old strawman bullshit.

Nobody said anything about handing out guns at insane asylums.

How long did it take to establish government in post WWII contries?


What is diffrent now?

Not all that long.

What is different now? In post World War II countries we did not have different groups shooting at us or the new governments. I think you failed to mention that, as did Sirs before he went into full victimisation mode.

[Plane]

The establishment of the Iron Curtain does not count?

[_JS]

If you like, you can count it.

The DDR was set up in 1949 and was done relatively peacefully.

I was assuming that you and Sirs were comparing the governments of Western Europe that came under United States' influence. I had no idea we were planning on setting up a Soviet Sattellite state in Iraq

This thread is debating the symptoms of something much bigger. Contemporary Sociology And Human Resource Management. Due to the advances of technology, America has become a prison system. I have eleven forms of Identification in my wallet. Most of you have even more. Americans are being manipulated with state controlled media. Psychological conditioning and total institutional socialization is the bigger issue.

Ha, the ultimate in Conspiracy Theory.

Well, larry, don't worry: pretty soon, you will only have ONE form of national ID, a National ID card and/or it embedded in a chip on your wrist.

Do they still publish The Late Great Planet Earth?

After WWII overthrown governments were started over or started from scratch all over Europe and Asia.

But each one had less outside interference than Iraq does.


Japan and South Korea have turned out pretty well , too bad about France.


If Iraq can't do better than France shall I call it all a failure?

(I mean that France has not become a sept of the US hegemon)

[The_Professor]

Yep, sold well over a million copies. Want one? I'll buy it and ship it to you...Or, I've got one or two at home. Right next to Mere Christinaity, the Great Divorce, Angelwalk, Stedfast, Paradise Lost, all classics.

[larry]

Ha, the ultimate in Conspiracy Theory.

Its not a theory, it is a work in progress. A TV in every home and a monopoly control of production and distribution. Its a dictator's dream come true.

The article is just the same old bullshit from morons.

How so?  Where?

.. but the cartoon got me thinking

Now there's a dangerous precedent   

The left believes in solving problems and creating peace.  The right believes in erasing dissent and "winning".

That would be the act of transference, I do believe.  Especially considering how often the right is trying to solve problems (SS, Foreign Oil dependency, Medicare, the deficit, war on Terrorism, etc), and it's the left that keeps crying foul, stop, don't do that

[Plane]

Guns?

Sure, why not?

I'm really libertarian when it comes to stuff like guns and drugs.  Let the states handle it.  If NY wants to ban assault rifles then fine.  Let em.

Let people smoke all the pot and take all the heroine they want.

Should Kim Ill Jung have the A-bomb just because this is fairness , or should the rules against the insane and convicted having guns not be scaled up to include the insane and unelectable government of N. Korea?

Wow, you're really out of your mind, aren't you?  Ending SS is not "solving the problem".  Allowing price collusion amongst the oil companies is not really indicative of a "fix".  Making Medicare more confusing and adding cost to the elderly is not what I would consider making Medicare better.  In order to solve the problem of the deficit, it helps if you don't CREATE ONE out of the highest surplus in history.  And conducting Terror and then pretending to conduct a War on Terror (a laughable if not so tragic idea at best) is just insane.

Plane,

Il is the ruler of a country of millions.  They should be allowed to follow their own path.  If they fear their neighbors then they should be allowed to defend themselves.

We do it.  We've attacked another country just for kicks.  Why can't they?  What moral authority grants us the right to kill over half a million people just because we can?

Because we have more bombs?
