Oh, great. Another long tirade about the evils of America.
Don't get me wrong, I despise this country and all of it's conservative, militaristic ways, but honestly. Everyone knows by now. Plus it's a little off topic.
Anyway, Yankee != American. Here Yankee means northerner. Also North > South in this country in all ways. Especially accentwise. I think if I hear another damned dixie accent I'm gonna tear my ears off.

Oh stuff the civilised world and lets feel sorry for the terrorist bastards who would sooner shoot you than look at you
there was a picture here
I would like to say this to all those people (you know who you are) whose called this thread stupid and some other things. I don't hate America, but I do however hate the way America is whoring it's way through the world. Sure, let's pretend that the wrong way is the highway, but surely you'd see the truck coming if you were lying on the road. It hits you in the long run, slowly sucking out the blood of it's victims. Sorry to say this, but only Americans are naive enough to protect a country that declares itself to be: "Land of the Free".
You're calling these "independant journalists"? ...that's absolutely insane. I'm not an expert by any means on the SSP, but the likes of Michael Moore and George Galloway are idiotic whiners taking advantage of the anti-war sentiment, and the Lib Dems are no better. Independent my eye. I'm not a fan of Bush and his right-wing media, but these are just as bad.Originally Posted by Traitorfish
No way. A southern accent is so much better than that of someone from Joysey or Bahston.

Come on lad let's set our hair on fire
How do you figure?You're calling these "independant journalists"? ...that's absolutely insane. I'm not an expert by any means on the SSP, but the likes of Michael Moore and George Galloway are idiotic whiners taking advantage of the anti-war sentiment, and the Lib Dems are no better. Independent my eye. I'm not a fan of Bush and his right-wing media, but these are just as bad.
They're not the only people I get info from, I jsut don't bother to list the names of various journalists.. Anyway, your confusing what I said. 'Independant journalists' was where I said I get news from. These guys are who I said my sources were, when I said the American media is right-wing.
And Michael Moore and George Galloway have been saying stuff for years (Moore used to publish a left-wing newspaper in the 80s, and Galloway has been a politician for decades). It's not their fault that the media has only recently acknowledged them. Get your info right.
Anyway, if everyone who speaks ou is a whiner, then your essentially saying freedom of speech is bad. Is that what you really think?
Examples, please.Garbage. History shows that this never works. Otherwise, the world wouldn't be in it's current state.
I was starting to type out a retort for this, but I can't even begin to take this seriously. That kind of thinking is where Soviet Russia came from, and anyone who considers THAT a moral idea deserves the consequences.Yes, actually, I am. It is a crime to put your own needs above those of the less fortuanate.
And I included italics and said "fixed," to make it obvious that I changed it.Real mature. Editing my words, so they look different.
No one's fault, you say, but then you contradict that statement by laying blame on anyone "more fortunate" by stealing from them.Anyway, the disabled are given an unfair start in life. No-one's fault, but we should all help them if we can.
Didn't I just say that Bush was anti-freedom? Are you even paying attention?Yeah, sure. The USAPATRIOT act was a veritable Bill of Rights. Yep, what better why to show how free you are than by allowing unwarranted searches of homes, or by allowing censorship of anti-government material. or by breaking UN human rights laws about treatment of prisoners! Yep, freedom for all!
This is what I don't get about liberals: they say that the Patriot Act is evil, because it violates the 4th amendment. This I agree with; involuntary search and seizure with little to no corroborating evidence contradicts the rights to individual freedom, <i>even though it could save lives</i>. It's inarguable that we'd all be a lot safer if we could immediately lock up anyone that had the slightest bit of evidence of being a terrorist or a criminal. However, then liberals say it's perfectly okay to rob someone to build a road, or to give it to the poor. So building a road or helping out the poor is worth sacrificing individual rights, but not saving lives? I don't get it.
I would stop replying, because I know I can't do anything, but this is actually entertaining.
THANKS!Fail.
It's funny cause now that everyone is getting banned from EoEO/EotW, General Chat is turning into a combination of the two, without the regulations...which I find, quite frankly, awesome.
I like Kung-Fu.
Oh, erm, lets see... The huge amounts of poverty acroos the world? The AIDS epidemic in Africa? over 60 million Americans without healthcare? The fact that oil-wars claim the lives of hundreds every month? Corporate-backed fascist dictators?
If you're unaware of this stuff, you need to open you eyes. As my sig' explains.
Actually, that is indeed the sort of thinking Soviet Russia came from, and is the kind of thinking I agree with. But that kind of thinking ended in 1924, when Stalin drove out the Leninists like Trotsky. Then Russia became a totalitarian dictatorship, communist in name only. (If you don't understand, read 1984 by George Orwell).I was starting to type out a retort for this, but I can't even begin to take this seriously. That kind of thinking is where Soviet Russia came from, and anyone who considers THAT a moral idea deserves the consequences.Yes, actually, I am. It is a crime to put your own needs above those of the less fortuanate.
And, before you go on an anti-marxist rant, consider this: the literacy rate in Cuba is higher than that in the US. The infant mortality rate in Havanah is lower than in Washington D.C. That shows something, doe it not? Castro has proportionatly more literate people in his nation than Bush, King of America, Emperor of the Free World. And that's comparing the USA to Cuba, a small island nation. Compare the US to one of the Scandinavian countires, then you'll see that capitalism doesn't work.
Yes, I know. it was still a waste of time.And I included italics and said "fixed," to make it obvious that I changed it.Real mature. Editing my words, so they look different.
It's not theft. It's supporting your fellow human beings. Neandethals did it. So you can too. Anything is just wrong.No one's fault, you say, but then you contradict that statement by laying blame on anyone "more fortunate" by stealing from them.Anyway, the disabled are given an unfair start in life. No-one's fault, but we should all help them if we can.
Building roads is theft? So, what, everyone has to build their own roads? Or fly helicopters? How does that make sense?However, then liberals say it's perfectly okay to rob someone to build a road, or to give it to the poor.
And the amount of money that is 'stolen' from you to give to the poor is an insignificant fraction of how much is stolen from the poor, to finance the rich.
It seems you're not a standard conservative, but your not liberal either. You're a capitalist. Someone who puts themself before eveyone and everything else, giving up ideals, morales and ethics, in pursuit of wealth and power. Bravo.
lol since when was the left wing anti freedom?lol Rais but sorry your a joke.
Whenever a heated debate such as this pops up, I generally find it soothing to listen to some <a href="http://www.expectnomore.net/radio/bennyhil.mid">music.</a>
Since my collection consists largely of stuff like Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down, it doesn't help.Whenever a heated debate such as this pops up, I generally find it soothing to listen to some <a href="http://www.expectnomore.net/radio/bennyhil.mid">music.</a>
It sure is entertaining to listen to while reading this stuff, though.
