    "don't necessarily promote these idealogies; they are merely acknowledging their controversial nature."

    Does that make it somehow less evil???

    I seem to recall when Chinese students tried to revolt, and their oppresive Communist/Dictatorshop government ran them over with tanks. Yeah, a revolt will work very well.

    I believe that I am employed by a corporation, many people are employed by corporations, and corporations help to make the United States a wealthy and prosperous nation.

    I would rather work for a corporation than eat dirt in some desert in Kerblakistan.

    I also think that many people around here have a bizarre and irrational hatred of corporations.

    Corporations are what have given us a civilized life.
    How did you get from point a to point b today?

    Uhhhh....
    Gee, who have we attacked without provocation?

    Somalia

    Iraq

    These, just to name a few... As the only superpower we must be responsible in making sure crazy idiots don't opress millions and threaten an entire region with nuclear capacity and biological warefare. Stop your loathing of the United States for a little bit and open your eyes!

    Someone like you has been so warped by leftist propaganda that its a waste of time to try to reason with you and your feeble mind.

    Well, I hope you feel good knowing that Saddam has weapons of mass desctructions. Then when he bombs Isreal, Kuwait, or whoever, you will come post messages saying "GW Bush should have put a stop to this before it happened."

  9. Re:My feeling for the victims... But... on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 1

    Your post is full of irrational rants and is obviously inspired by propaganda. The problem with being the only world superpower is that nobody will be happy with your actions. If we don't help the people of [insert third world nation here], we are selfish. If we do help, we are meddling, and acting as the world police.

    9/11 is NO FAULT of our own. It sickens me that you are trying to blame our country for what happened. What happened happened because there are evil people in this world, who are driven by evil motivations. What you suggest is understanding evil. I wonder if you would have suggested during WWII that we try to understand and relate to Hitler.

    The real problem is people like you. You think that a terror attack is the way to change attitudes and policy. Your attitude is disgusting!

    Just to let you know, Bill Clinton and Tom Daschle both talked about the need for a regime change in Iraq back in 1998. Now that a Republican is president, liberals are playing politics by saying its about oil and whatnot. Its about a crazed leader of a country having the ability to kill many people.

  11. Re:One Year On: What has America Learnt? on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 1

    What can America do? Its an extreme religious problem. They are indocrinated to hate our freedom, our capitalism, and our way of life. All we can do is fight them. We cannot do anything to change their attitude. Should we give up our way of life to be more like them? I am afraid some people would say yes.

    We could force women to cover their faces, have a government enforced religion (Muslim)? We can't bow to their demands... We must eliminate these extremists.

    This is insightful??? Saddam Hussein is the cause of any victims in Iraq, and communism continues to claim victims in this world. Capitalism will remain a shining beacon of prosperity and any hope for world peace!

    Someone modded this up as insightful- sad. Its clearly flamebait!

    Greed is good because we all have it, so that's why the economy based on greed works. Its not a very pleasant thought, but its true.

    If I lived in a country where I would earn the same living if I was a Doctor, Laywer, Garbage Man, or Unemployed Jaggoff, I would choose to be an Unemployed Jaggoff.

    Why? Beccause I am greedy- And being an Unemployed Jaggoff would have the most personal benefit.
