"What you believe about how the world works is a pretty fantasy served up by a multibillion dollar propaganda matrix."
That statement is a delicious canard. Because you don't have a clue what I "believe". And you keep making strawman arguments yourself, venturing off topic to call everyone blind or stupid. Doctor, heal thyself.
The practical reality of democracy in the U.S. is that you have to vote for the lesser of two evils. If Romney had won, the pipelines would already being going through and a ground war with Iran would be a done deal. So explain how, in your world, by not voting, you affect a change. You present your case like it's a done deal, and the international monetary conspiracy is unstoppable. Well what's the use of droning on about it if you can suggest no solutions or alternatives. Anarchy is fun. When you're dead.
So does that mean that you support the current regime in Syria and their ridiculously deluxe lifestyle. They are killing thousands of their own citizens and despite the popular will, will not give up power. Once again. You propose no solutions. Could you even suggest anything instead of just restating your thesis of the control of the earth by oligarchs?
I don't demand the overthrow of any government. It's your pure arrogance that assumes so. But I do support aid to those who are suffering. Get off the cross, somebody needs the wood. And start by proposing any solution that you have to help people. Instead of attacking anyone who cares about human life. Your facile criticism of everyone and anyone who wants to help victims of war is really not a solution. I do not advocate any military intervention. I advocate for humanitarian aid. And before you start calling me names again, know that I have been on the ground, in South Africa, Ghana, and Bosnia, when people needed help.
Oh this is soooo rich. Two non-Americans arguing over American politics. Grabs a bag of popcorn and a cup o kophey.
You are overlooking the fact, that the the person that started this thread is a non-American, (not to mention MoW on the others from the UK), but that doesn't matter to you because he shares your opinion. Clearly it has nothing to do with residence.
The cold hard facts that the oblivious liberals are totally unaware of is that there HAVE been "peace accords" between Israel and the Palesterrorists. WITHOUT EXCEPTION they were violated by the latter. It is a cold, hard, irrefutable fact that peace is impossible in the middle east as long as the Palesterrorists exist. Their raison d'etre is to mass-murder Jews, preferably women, seniors and children who can't fight back. And the Koran and Hadith command the killing of Jews. What the vermin need to grasp is that Israel is a nuclear power, and if its existence is threatened, the enemy will be erased. And no one will miss them.
Frightening.
The only accord that "Israel" has ever agreed to was the Oslo agreement, which "Israel" violated from day 1 by escalating "settlement"activityi.e. land theft."Israel" has rejected or just ignored every opportunity to make peace. And the US and UK continue to allow them to do so.
Have to agree with some of what you say.
"Niether you or Soupie understand that.
You both unknowingly support empire. Biut neither of you understand it."
Trust me "biut", I understand that. Yet you propose no solutions or ideas of how to change that. What is your suggestion? Dispose of the IMF?
