    Nuke the japs again, and nuke the chinks and gooks. Then we can have all of those metals to ourselves.

    Wouldn't you get in to trouble if you kept communist's kids under your bed? On a related note, thank goodness Ronald Raygun, that clown off of that advert for fat clinics and possibly even some sort of distorted republican Jesus with guns saved us all from the evils of sharing.
        Now we all work 16 hours a day to make rich people even richer (hell, it gets me out of bed in the morning. Gawd bless all those upper management and banking types, they need it more than we do) and the world is just peachy!

    You are fucking dumbass. "Citation needed" against "At least it's breeding competition to do something good for once. This is the kind of stuff governments should be doing"?? You need more learn-ed, son.

    On behalf of the internets, I must regretfully inform you to GTFO and take your FAIL with you.
