but the wind-farms are a question of survival of the human civilization.

Hardly. If windfarms dropped off the face of the earth, you might need to find 1-3% from somewhere else, like hydro plants sitting idle, or from nuclear reactors which have been shutdown or furloughed for maintenance. Hell, in Ontario we produce so much electricity that we sell it at a 75% loss to the US, and we're not even at peak generating capacity. In fact, these "green energy" programs are going to drive up our electricity prices by 42% in the next 5 years.

Do you hear that sounds? It's the death of manufacturing and industry where I live.

Really? Have any data on that? Or are you referring to the minority Protestant Church leadership?

I've been in SEVERAL churches of various denominations in the past, and this is in tune with the overwhelming majority of opinion.

Not part of it all anymore, just a casual comment.

Given that most recent studies have determined conservatives to be coward, violent and unadaptable as well as uncaring, and even kind of stupid, being messy doesn't seem that bad in comparison.

That's funny, I was able to find all kinds of stuff about gangs in London with a quick Google search. Either you're a liar, or completely naive.

Have fun when you have children and they're forced to join a gang.

"The mere fact of placing a copy on a shared directory in a computer where that copy can be accessed via a P2P service does not amount to distribution," [Judge] Finckenstein wrote. "Before it constitutes distribution, there must be a positive act by the owner of the shared directory, such as sending out the copies or advertising that they are available for copying."

If you want to do business in America you will not violate our laws and you will pay damages that you owe great pioneering Americans.

I am getting tired of Frances socialist attitude twords everything, they mascarade around as a democracy, but when it comes time to actually act like one they fall flat on their faces. They have the worst excuse for Free Speach until you get to 3rd world contries controled by dictators. They baby their citizens so much by giving them free everything, and they pay though their nose in taxes for it. Then they have the nerve to put tariffs on other countries who have a tax rate less than their 70%.

1) Democracy is a political system. Capitalism and Socialism are economic system. If the population wants to live in a socialist economic system, democracy should be bringing it to them.

2) Taxes in the states are not really lower than they are elsewhere. Take Canada for example (Quoted from here:

One question to ask, however, is why they are focusing so much attention on tax rates. Perhaps because is commonly believed that income taxes in Canada are much higher than in the United States. Let's compare 2003 rates:

Someone with an income of CDN$30,000 in Canada paid 11.9%, or CDN$3559 federal income tax. Someone in the United States, making USD$30,000 ended up paying USD$4310 federal tax, or about 14.4%.

An individual making CDN$60,000 paid CDN$10,028 or about 16.7%. The U.S. amount for USD$60,000 is USD$13,810 or about 23%. That is probably shocking to most Canadians. Please note this comparison does not include State or Provincial taxes -- which could add between 0% to 10%, depending on where you live. It also does not factor in tax deductions, which can vary greatly on an individual basis.

Futhermore, the average Canadian income in $CAD is higher than the average U.S. income in $USD. In 2001, the average family income in Canada was $60,300CAD. In that same year, the US average was $42,228USD (or roughly $57,000CAD at a 1.35 exchange rate). This contradicts another popular myth that the average American makes more money.

So we pay less taxes, yet we get WAY more for our tax dollars than you Americans do. Things like health care, universal social security, non-toll roads, etc. Socialism at work.

There are lots of politicans representing corporate interests that would love to turn Canada into another America. But they've been having trouble doing so because we actually have an effective democracy up here, and we don't want it.

You need to get off your high horse. Personally, I wouldn't live in your country for any price, and I've had some pretty lucrative offers.

Yeah, that's what they always say at the public inquiry. The truth is they would shoot anything that moves, even a three year old, because they are racist bastards blinded by hate. Americans take note: your tax dollars payed to have a 13 year old girl murdered in cold blood. The killer's maximum penalty is 3 years in prison. This is abominable and makes me ashamed to call myself an American. It will only end if we stop funding the Israeli terrorists.

In response or perhaps just confirmation of Russia's fears, there's the 'new weapons system' http://www9.sbs.com.au/theworldnews/region.php?id= 99166&region=3 the Russians talk about. Only talk? What if it's not? Russia sure thinks we're trying to nullify their nuclear position...
